Coincidence?

Now they say that lightning never strikes twice... but are they sure? You may remember a few weeks ago that a rather tragic accident befell Weston-Super-Mare's historic pier, under (in my opinion) very suspicious circumstances. And unless I am mistaken, nobody has yet been held accountable, despite the very strong lead that I gave Somerset police at the time.

Well, I couldn't help noticing that this week, on a Monday again, another Victorian pier, this time in Fleetwood, Lancashire, has been reduced to ashes. Cause unknown.

There was something distinctly familiar about the photo that I came across....

I like the fact that large corporations have PR advisors (or even departments) who devise ingenious ways of promoting their image as a caring, responsible institution. It's such a rich source of humour and irony when they slightly miss their mark.

It is very noble of the Bank of America to adopt the donkeys from the Singapore Zoological Gardens. I'm not sure all of them need to work in the FX department though.
