Lee Moran said he had ‘won a battle, but not the war’ (Pictures: SWNS)A binman who wore a hi vis kilt in protest against having to wear trousers during the heatwave has been allowed to trial a pair of shorts. Lee Moran, 51, was ordered by York City Council in July to cover his legs despite temperatures reaching 38°C. In response, he wore a £60 fluorescent kilt ordered specially from a supplier to help keep cool, prompting the council to review their policy. Lee has said he is ‘very happy’ with the new uniform, which he has been able to wear to work over a two-week period, but said he had ‘won a battle, but not the war’. The father-of-three was told the restriction was due to health and safety reasons, but Lee has claimed that council bosses confessed it was to help protect w...
Read MoreA former Beverly Hills man who along with an anti-vaccine doctor joined the mob that breached the U.S. Capitol in 2021 was convicted this week for his role in the Jan. 6 insurrection. A jury, following a federal trial in Washington, D.C., found John Strand, 39, guilty of a felony count of obstruction of an official proceedings, along with several misdemeanor counts that included entering a restricted building and disorderly conduct. Strand — a model, actor and spokesman for the anti-vaccine group America’s Frontline Doctors — was arrested in January 2021 at a Beverly Hills home alongside Simone Gold, a doctor who during the pandemic became a leading source of coronavirus misinformation. Strand has since moved to Naples, Florida, according to the U.S. Attorneys Office. Weeks before their a

Read MorePhoto Illustration by Thomas Levinson/The Daily Beast/GettyOver 2.5 million residents of coastal Florida are being advised to evacuate due the threat posed by Hurricane Ian, a storm which has already left 1 million in Cuba without electricity and which was predicted to hit the western flank of the Sunshine State early Wednesday afternoon. In anticipation of a Category 4 storm’s 130 mile-per-hour winds, residents are scrambling to stack up sandbags and stockpile supplies. For a certain class of Florida resident, however, also at issue—and, in some cases, in need of evacuation—are their art collections, which can be valued in the multiple millions and are potentially vulnerable to being damaged by the hurricane’s destructive path. Generally, Florida’s super-rich and the galleries that cat...
Read MoreIt’s usually a red flag when a veteran bench player joins a new team and declares that he still feels like he’s a starter. Make that a few red flags. Andre Drummond, however, wasn’t about to start apologizing for his thought process, even now being on his sixth NBA team entering Year 11. “I’m still in my mindset a player that’s a starter,’’ Drummond said in his first meeting with the Bulls media since signing a one-year deal with a player option. “But I’m a player who is able to adjust and adapt to any situation. If my services are needed to be a starter I can do that. If my services are needed to come in and be a spark off the bench that is what I’m here to do. My ego is not something that is driven in this game. I play the game because I love it and not to do anything else but be an asse

Couric, who memorably was tested for colon cancer on the “Today” show in 2000, announced her diagnosis in an essay on her website, saying she hoped it would encourage other women to be tested. Couric, 65, was diagnosed on the first day of summer and wrote that she had her final radiation treatment on Tuesday. “My left breast does feel like I’ve been sunbathing topless, but other than that, I’ve felt fine,” she wrote. Couric’s first husband, Jay Monahan, died of colon cance...
Read MoreSkull and Bones – arr, it be a cursed game! (pic: Ubisoft)Ubisoft’s absurdly delayed pirate adventure is no longer going to be out this year, but there is an open beta for anyone still interested. You can’t help but imagine that there’s some kind of sunk cost fallacy going on at Ubisoft when it comes to Skull And Bones, a multiplayer pirate MMO that never looked especially interesting and has been delayed so many times now it’s getting absurd. The game started development in 2013, as a spin-off from Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag, and that means it will have taken exactly a decade to make when it’s finally released on March 9, 2023. Or rather that should be IF it’s released, since there’s no reason to expect that release date will prove any more reliable than any of the others. ...
Read MorePhotos, videos show strong winds, reverse storm surge in Southwest Florida as Hurricane Ian strikes
Hurricane Ian’s most damaging winds began hitting Florida’s southwest coast Wednesday, lashing the state with heavy rain and pushing a devastating storm surge after strengthening to the threshold of the most dangerous Category 5 status.

Rajan questioned BBC boss Tim Davie (Picture: John Phillips/Getty Images for Advertising Week)BBC presenter Amol Rajan has blasted the broadcaster as being ‘too posh’, after discovering a high proportion of its newsreaders speak with ‘the King’s English’.

Read MoreOverwatch 2 – the new game and its new characters are almost here (pic: Blizzard)Blizzard has had Overwatch 2 in the works for years and with its release date now closer than ever, one question still stands… is it worth the hype? Overwatch 2 will officially hit your screens in less than a week, bringing with it a variety of new additions, ranging from new maps and heroes to fresh game modes. Teasers have revealed some of the heroes joining the game, such as Kiriko and Junker Queen, but not much of Overwatch 2’s gameplay has been shown yet. This has left fans wondering whether Overwatch 2 will be that much different from the OG Overwatch, and if it really counts as a proper sequel. If you’ve started losing interest in Overwatch over the years the release of Overwatch 2 should be
Read MoreIt was Agatha Christie who famously said, “Where large sums of money are concerned, it is advisable to trust nobody.” If the late, great mystery writer was alive today, she might be taking notes for a new play based on the apparently bottomless corruption in Los Angeles County government. The curtain is opening to reveal a series of interlocking scandals involving pay-to-play, long protected from scrutiny by the cozy relationships of the people involved. As the old saying goes, nothing succeeds like successfully leveraging compromising information to extract favors. If you’re joining this story already in progress, L.A. County sheriff’s deputies executed a search warrant at the home of L.A. County Supervisor Sheila Kuehl, who was so rattled or foolish that she gave an interview to Fox 11 n

Merlin was diagnosed with cancer in September last year (Picture: Channel 4 / Instagram @merlinfdc4)First Dates star Merlin Griffiths has revealed he ignored the early signs of bowel cancer and ‘tried to convince’ himself that the pain he was feeling ‘wasn’t important’. The 47-year-old, who works as the barman on the popular programme, announced he had been diagnosed with the disease in September last year. Last month, Merlin announced he’s ‘back home’ after being hospitalised with ‘complications’ relating to his illness, which came after he underwent surgery to get his tumour removed. Now, Merlin has opened up about ignoring the early signs of cancer, waiting months before he saw a doctor. When he did see a doctor, Merlin’s cancer had reached stage three. He admitted: ‘It w

Piastri and Ricciardo were involved in a one of Formula 1’s most high-profile transfer sagas ever, which resulted in the latter agreeing to terminate his contract with McLaren early in order to make way for the former. It was later revealed that McLaren had actually gone behind Ricciardo’s back to sign the Formula 2 champion ahead of Alpine. They agreed a deal with Piastri on 4th July, but just nine days later Ricciardo posted a statement on social media reaffirming that he was staying with the team for 2023 in spite of his poor form, clearly unaware that McLaren were replacing ...
Read MoreI’ll make this quick, Jacksonville will be impacted, but as we pounded on-air last night, the biggest threats will be for our Southern counties. Putnam, Flagler, Southern St. Johns, and Clay counties will take the brunt of Ian. Jacksonville, Duval County will see much greater impacts along area beaches, but if you live on the Northside or Westside, just a breezy/windy, rainy day coming your way on Thursday. Southside and Beaches will have much worse conditions, these will be highly disruptive conditions and you should avoid getting out of the house. Our southern counties will deal with potentially life-threatening conditions, especially for those along The St. Johns River and along the Atlantic Coast. Extreme rainfall rates, winds to 50-60 mph, with higher gusts should keep you locked dow...
