UK: Local Oxford Supermarket Reports “Zen-Like” Crime – As Man “With No Shoes” Commits Armed-Robbery! (16.8.2026)

The suspect is described as a white man with pale skin, a scruffy black beard and a local accent. He is around 5ft 9in tall and was wearing a black puffer jacket with the hood up, grey jogging bottoms and white socks, but no shoes.

Officers are also trying to trace four people who were inside the store at the time of the robbery.

They are described as a white man with short brown hair wearing a red and blue sports jacket, a woman believed to be in her 50s who was around 6ft tall and wearing a grey sweater, and two younger girls who checked on the victim after the incident.

A spokesperson for Thames Valley Police said: “If you think that these people could be you or if you were in the area at this time and remember seeing a man walking with white socks and no shoes, please get in contact.”

Banbury's Prodrive helps smash 400mph hydrogen land speed record

US: British Car & Driver Smash Land-Speed Record [406.320MPH]! (16.8.2026)

Driven by Wing Commander Andy Green OBE, JCB Hydromax completed the record attempt on the Bonneville Salt Flats, setting a new world benchmark for a hydrogen combustion-powered vehicle. The achievement represents the culmination of an intensive development programme that combined JCB’s hydrogen combustion technology with engineering and operational expertise from across the project team.

Following its appointment to the programme this time last year, Prodrive has played a key role, being responsible for vehicle integration and trackside operations, helping prepare both car and crew for the unique challenges of a world land speed record campaign. Working alongside JCB and Ricardo, the company supported the development, testing and execution of the record attempt, drawing on decades of experience operating at the highest levels of international motorsport.

The Secret Garden - 4 Fosters Lane - London!

UK: Visiting St Vedast-Alias-Foster Church Courtyard! (15.8.2026)

This is why some of us can still speak the old language of “Gaelic” or Gallic”. We win in the end by absorbing all these foreigners and turning them into Celts. Every invader has lost their distinctiveness over time and became “us”. Just as I am a Hakka-Celt – my Chinese family Celtic Hakka! We are explorers who like finding old and unusual things. Well, today we discovered the remarkable Courtyard of St Vedast-Alias-Foster (this French Saint was born c, 453 CE – but the church was built in the 12th century by Flemish migrants – possibly on the site of older Celtic churches) – the address being: 4 Foster Lane, London EC2V 6HH. It was rebuilt and redesigned by Sir Christopher Wren around 1670 – having suffered damage during the 1666 Great Fire of London. What is the Courtyard today used to be part of the church’s graveyard. The church was built is in the style of English Baroque architecture.

Gazza Scores A Beautiful Goal For Gansu Tianma in His First Game!

China: 26-Years Ago – Paul Gascoigne – Played Four Football Games & Scored 2-Goals In-Front of 30,000 Fans in Gansu – Then Suddenly Left! (13.8.2026)

The above article is full of hope and love for Paul Gascoigne and the “Gansu Divine-Sky Horses” – the struggling Chinese football team Gazza was contracted to play for. Gazza’s playing career spanned 19-years between 1985-2004. Many English football stars – as they are so much more skilled than the average footballer – tend to play abroad for a time in their latter career before taking jobs as coaches, trainers, and media commentators, etc. Gazza avoided most of this and experienced very public battles with addiction and psychological issues. This is all a matter of public record. As Gazza suffered endless injuries as his body aged rapidly (compounded by the effects of alcohol) – his options for foreign playing were highly limited. In many ways, Gazza was lucky for the opportunity China gave him – and to this day he has never uttered a word of gratitude. This is the way things are – and there is reason to sugar-coat it. Watching the films of Gazza at his peak – there is no doubt he was one of the best players in the world. Even at the other end of his playing-career – the Chinese people were grateful he had chosen to play in their country. I think the BBC paid Gazza for an exclusive documentary about his time in China. It could be that he stayed long enough for the BBC cheque to clear before leaving – and never intended to stay in China – or help their football game develop.

Beautiful Gee Borrowing Mei-An's Umbrella!

UK: Family Event – Partial Eclipse in South London! (12.8.2026)

In 1999 – the year of the last partial-eclipse in the UK – I think it happened about 10am in the morning and got really dark (or at least dusky). Today, the birds became quiet as the sun shrank and the shadows slowly lengthened. This all happened over a 50 minute time period between 18:10hrs-19:00hrs. We even had a cup of tea and ate a cake whilst sat in the garden! Even one of our cats knew something unusual was happening. Of course, we were not sure how dark it would get – as in Central Europe the sky went completely dark.

BNP Disciplinary Letter 8.12.2026

UK: BNP Conference 2006 – Mark Collett & David Hannam Enter Hotelroom With Underage Girls! (10.8.2026)

The story that has been uploaded onto the internet onto various platforms is that Mark Collett and David Hannam, supposedly drunk on the fame the then “far-right “British National Party” (BNP) was receiving from the British Establishment and maintstream media, “picked-up” two young girls (one 14 and the other 15) – and took them into a hotel-bedroom. In 2006, mobile ‘phones that could video were new and many people did not yet understand the implications of having their every move recorded. This was because uploading onto the internet was in its early days as well. However, one of the girls forwarded the video to Ken Smith – who was in-charge of BNP finance and security. Smith called an immediate meeting with the parents of the two girls – and reportedly “paid them off” not to go to the police. The BNP imploded from this point onward as its “Fuhrer” (Nick Griffin) refused to expel Collett – a person he had groomed from an early age (yes – there are rumours of homosexuality).
