UK: Weird News from England – Eerie Aerial Images Show “Britain’s Biggest Bus Graveyard”! (21.4.2026)

21/04/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

The spot has become popular with urban explorers, something which the landowners have condemned, saying they are ‘wrongfully’ breaking into the site. Barnsley has been dubbed the ‘bus scrapping capital’ of the UK following the success of entrepreneur Paul Sykes, 82, who is one of Britain’s richest people, being worth a cool £775m, according to The Sunday Times Rich List.

Aged 19, he started his own business dismantling buses for scrap metal and later evolved into exporting engines and parts, which were fitted in fishing junks in The Far East, Hong Kong, Penang and Singapore. He also exported complete buses to Australia, New Zealand, Africa and other commonwealth countries, which he did profitably for over 20 years.

One of his companies also became the largest distributor of buses in the UK.

Wales: Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) Finds NHS Nurse Participated in “Sexual Activity” with Staff & Patients at Psychiatric Unit! (18.4.2026)

18/04/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

A mental health nurse has been struck off after having sex on three occasions at the hospital where she worked. Kate Sullivan was found by a misconduct panel to have repeatedly engaged in unprofessional behaviour while working at Bridgend’s Glanrhyd Hospital.

Sullivan was based at the hospital’s Rowan ward – an all-male secure rehab unit with a high number of admissions from prison. She had been acting up as a band seven ward manager, her fitness to practise hearing was told.

From October 2020 to summer 2021 she was in a relationship with a colleague which she did not declare to her employer, Swansea Bay University Health Board, which was a breach of workplace policy. Stay in the know by making sure you’re receiving our daily newsletter

She would later admit: “I engaged in a casual relationship with a fellow colleague and he was working as a band two on the ward at that time.”

The panel found Sullivan had sex with this man – referred to only as Colleague A – in their workplace on March 4, 2021, and on January 8 and 17 of the following year.

The information I was given was a blue and white paddle board, which doesn't help when the sea is blue and white.

UK: Weird News from Scotland – How the RNLI Rescued a Blue Paddle-Board! (15.4.2026)

Mandy urged other paddle boarders to take proper precautions before going out on the water.

She said: “Obviously don’t go dressed like me, try and wear a wetsuit and a lifejacket.

“I had a swimming costume on, a T-shirt and a pair of Crocs. That’s not appropriate.”

The RNLI were called out to 13 paddleboard incidents in Scotland last year and 14 the year before.

Lifeboats in Scotland launched 1,172 times last year and 37 lives were saved. The number of callouts were 10 fewer than in 2024.

Scott said: “You really need to be prepared. Check the tides, the weather, the wind speed.

“Have wetsuits and lifejackets, tell people where you’re going, have a mobile phone.”

The crew said it had been emotional reuniting with the woman whose life they saved.

Scott said: “It was really nice to meet Mandy again, it’s something that doesn’t happen often.”

Mandy said: “I feel so special to have met the crew that saved me.

“I can’t remember what any of them looked like but their voices are very familiar now that I’ve met them.

“They do this unpaid, they are actual heroes.”

1745 Coaching Stone - Original 18th Century GPS!

Sutton: 18th Century Coaching-Stone – the Original GPS! (13.4.2026)

13/04/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

I may well have written about the old coaching-stones scattered around Sutton and Cheam – I now of two – but was unaware of the date they were established. Basically, these devices informed travellers on foot, horse, or carriage – how many miles it was from where they were to the centre of London. Coachmen could either read the inscription engraved on the stone – or was taught what the stone said and remembered where it was when driving on the road – either way – these coaching-stones served as the original GPS system for travel. I think the Roman established something similar thousands of years ago – so the concept was not new in 1745. What I did not realise is that these stones have now received official recognition of being historically important monuments worthy of preservation and protection. The iron-bars and plaque are the new editions which I only saw when taking a rare walk through Sutton.

BMA-UK: Qumran: How Meditating Jews Borrowed from Buddhism to Build Christian Monasticism! (12.4.2026)

12/04/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

The Jewish community in Qumran chose to sit in meditation cells to seek a communion with their god. Why did some Jews do this? This is not a Jewish tradition and is certainly not recognised as a Jewish practice – even in a peripheral sense. Meditating in a cave must have come into Judaism from an alien teaching and different culture. Two prime candidates are Buddhism and Hinduism – with the edge leaning toward Buddhism (due to the lack of polytheism). Not only this, but Buddhism was flourishing in India during the 3rd century BCE and the 1st century CE – the time era attributed to the Qumran texts (the Dead Sea Scrolls). Christian monasticism (as practiced by the Celtic Church) must have originated in Buddhist India – and was adopted by a small group of Jews in the Qumran area of the Judean Desert (situated on the North-western shore of the Dead Sea). This meditational practice was continued by the early Jewish followers of Jesus Christ and was spread to the Egyptian Desert – where the first (distinct) Christian monastic communities were first formed.

UK: My Father’s Email of Light! (9.4.2026)

09/04/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

My father – Peter Wyles (Moses Waveman) – is currently in a pickle, but it is happening to millions of elderly across the UK as the incumbent Labour Party is busy privatising the NHS and the Elderly Care System. NHS staff and Social Services (SS) staff all collude with this deficient treatment so that it becomes “legal” to provide inadequate and abusive care to the nation’s elderly. Labour also orders the police to telephone (and intimidate) any family member who complains online about the terrible treatment that is happening to their elderly relatives. I know this because it has happened to some one I know. What a disgrace the UK has become. The NHS and SS workers should be on the side of the working class that pays their wages through collective taxation. Still, no matter what happens – we will fight to the end!
