That time someone dumped a toy house on the cemetery wall and, when I crouched a bit, some ✨ Hollywood Magic ✨ occurred.

So, if they've been released on bail, that means this has been something and nothing - anything from petty theft to dogging. Which is going to make some of the worst people look very stupid, not least Donald "I've been following them for some time" Trump. This has the potential to be a right laugh.

ngl "2 doggers, a lad out on the rob for diesel, a fly tipper and an actual terrorist get swept up into an international incident" would be a really funny premise for a slice of life British comedy

Found this randomly in a book at work today and thought the building looked familiar. It is on the corner of Vilhonkatu and Mikonkatu in Helsinki. Formerly the offices of Suomen Osuuskauppojen Keskuskunta, now a restaurant... we stayed just up the road last summer and walked past this every day!
