Weird Quote of the Week
From Oliver Burkeman, reporting from the 'biggest-ever' gathering of the British funeral industry:

I liked the follow-on quote from Suad Hassan:
"My husband hurried to shoot it but it was as swift as a deer. It is the size of a dog but his head is like a monkey."
Badger, deer, dog and monkey - a strange beast.
