I agree, the headline is unclear. It should be “gets her bag stolen” or as you suggested, “had her bag stolen”.
Better yet, the main object of this sentence, her bag, should be at the front of the headline. “Bag stolen from Britain’s Crime Minister” is funnier (in my opinion), more concise, and eliminates the “where”, which can be put in a byline/sub-headline, or just left in the article as a gem for the reader to find.
Agreed. The best part of Dave Matthews went into the Chicago River.
He must be…he’s celebrating his 35th wedding anniversary this year.
But really, how can you say no to that face?
Assistant TO the Regional Manager.
And in case you think ‘hero’ is too good a label for JBJ, check out his foundation, what he’s done and continues to do, for folks in impoverished communities.
I’ve not met the guy but I can only imagine he’s a class act.
Fine life. Unforgettable voice. Rest in peace sir.
Meanwhile, on that other house show:
“I collect butterflies and my partner has a blog where she taste-tests different mustards. Our budget is $900,000.”
This guy did the research
Those ghost accounts aren’t going to open themselves. That cube is already staffed.
Yeah, agreed. Span = bridge. It’s gotta be contiguous across all timezones. Otherwise it’s a fact that France exists in many timezones, but not all.
Still an impressive graphic.
Worked at a place where our CIO was completely unqualified to be a leader, much less a leader in IT. She was a micromanager who took the position of “telling stakeholders” instead of “working with stakeholders” so any project she was on was really her pushing through whatever agenda she had at the time. Meanwhile her deputy CIO was stealing computer equipment from the server room but I digress…
April fools one year and I decide to prank it up. I moved the hinges (not the door handles) of the freezer/fridge in the breakroom so that the handle and hinges were on the same side. It’s a fifteen minute job to move everything so I did it the night before the 1st.
The next morning our hungover CIO stumbles into the breakroom and cannot get the fridge to open. After a few seconds of futile tugging on the handle, she gave up and took her lunch to her office.
Others in the office figured it out pretty quickly and had a good chuckle.
Later on that day CIO sends out a nastygram about pranks being unprofessional, property damage, someone was going to be in huge trouble, yadda yadda…
But she’s not the director. The director tells her to basically fuck off, it was a funny prank, and perhaps she needed to lighten up.
She never found out it was me.
Your opinion is duly noted! And you’re banned for violation of the Be Nice rule. Bye!

I couldn’t come up with anything wittier…
You’re talking about Brock Turner, the coward rapist?
