Pommy chick cricketers Nat Sciver and Katherine Brunt have got married to each other 

They will be known as Nat Sciver-Brunt and Katherine Sciver-Brunt 



They chose this name as the alternative sounds like someone with a lisp having trouble cutting something

They opted against merging them as “Squnt” (have to spell it with a Q here!) as well.

either way round its a mouthful. perhaps it could be abbreviated to the scrunts
although that sounds like a cartoon strip. but another first for us. England leads
the world once again.

Wow!

Former Green Senator, now Independent and look-at-me specialist, Lydia Thorpe raised the ire of Mardi Gras goers on Saturday night by laying down in front of a truck and holding up the parade in an alleged* protest against police brutality against black women.

Rightfully the crowd booed and yelled "get rid of her".

This heinous bikie moll does her "people" no favours with her ridiculous and disrespectful antics.

Slats in the news again!
