Utterly bizarre, as someone who went to Fifth Avenue in 1994, that 12 years earlier The Fall were playing there.

I don’t know if it’s because the existence of St Albans makes St Alban look weird, but I initially thought this referred to Dr Alban. It would be fantastic if we could agree to switch patron saints to Dr Alban.

I think I have only once seen a real manatee, and that was Snooty the manatee at the South Florida Museum. It was very exciting and I bought a Snooty T-shirt. But I’m afraid this story does not end happily. RIP Snooty. www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-u...

Death of world's oldest manatee, Snooty, ruled 'preventable'

Snooty, 69, was the world's oldest known manatee but drowned last month in a Florida aquarium.
