A woman has lashed out at paragliders who took to the skies over Doncaster, saying she believed Hamas was attacking the Yorkshire city.

Was that article a parody? The devices were variously described as paragliders, hang gliders, parasails and parachutes, all of which are completely different to each other!

I often think the news is printing joke articles for fun. This one a few weeks back
A yoga class was cut short after a member of the public called the police to report a “mass killing” after seeing several people lying on the floor.

It looks like I used to be a terrorist then and I've been to Doncaster too. So guilty!

Don't think I will be terrorising this weekend as I'm a fair weather terrorist. I'll give an advanced warning to keep clear of North Devon beaches. :D

Someone was high for sure. Either the lady giving the quotes or the journalist. Incidentally, I'm a bit behind the (high) times, is puff now legal in Britain? If so the Metro office would be exactly sort of place you might find a few stoners...
