Who knew that having a spot of tea could be so harmful?

A UK couple has accused Ryanair employees of kicking them out of the airport after barring them from flying due to a minuscule tea stain on one of their passports.

“It’s just a stain on her passport,” Rory Allen, 29, told Kennedy News of the “embarrassing” incident, which occurred July 7 while he and his girlfriend Nina Wilkins were preparing to fly the budget airline to Costa Brava, Spain for a week.

The seven-night vacay had been a Christmas gift present from Nina’s 57-year-old mum Sarah Wilkins.

You would think that once a world heritage site, always a world heritage site, right? Well, apparently not. Liverpool’s waterfront was delisted by UNESCO in 2021, Stonehenge was on the verge thanks to a (now-cancelled) tunnel and now it’s the Tower of London’s status that’s under threat.

Could skyscrapers cause the Tower of London to lose its UNESCO heritage status?

The big word-of-mouth comedy hit at the 2024 Fringe is this outlandish yet perversely enjoyable late night gem from newcomer Huddersfield comic Joe Kent-Waters. Kind of like the degenerate, basement-raised offspring of ‘Phoenix Nights’ and ‘League of Gentlemen’ - not to mention Marlowe’s ‘Doctor Faustus’ - the nominal premise is that 24 years ago, Rotherham working men’s club owner Frankie made a pact with infernal powers: they offered him a wish and he asked that they preserve his club exactly how it was - immune to the outside world - until such time as they would return to drag him into hell.

No, pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness don’t fold into caskets. It’s a question a reader posed one of the first times I wrote about pallet shelters. I find the pallet shelters to be more palatable than ice fishing tents. The Colorado Village Collaborative operates both micro-communities and the so-called Safe Outdoor Spaces with the tents. We all learned the tents are not safe when a fire roared through a CVC Safe Outdoor Space, destroying the compound quickly. Officials never disclosed a cause of the fire.

The remote beaches of NSW are some of our state’s most stunning, but when disaster strikes, being on an unpatrolled beach is less ideal. To make beach days at these unspoiled coastal spots even more special, the government has installed Emergency Response Beacons at eight of the state’s most popular (and dangerous) unpatrolled beaches, including Gordons Bay, Mahon Pool, North Palm Beach and Turimetta, all here in Sydney.
