20130528-110121.jpgAccording to The Great God Wikipedia, Albert Lea is a city in the southeastern part of the U.S. state of Minnesota. The population was 18,016 at the 2010 census.

The city is at the junction of Interstates 35 and 90, about 90 miles (140 km) south of the Twin Cities. It is on the shores of Fountain Lake, Pickerel Lake, Albert Lea Lake, Goose Lake, School Lake, and Lake Chapeau.

Sounds nice, yeah? What is perfectly clear however is that the 18,017th resident needs to be a trained sub editor.

Ok, it’s not an ad. But it’s very funny.

Oh, those crazy whacky British private schools …

No wonder there are traffic queues on the M4 to Gloucestershire. And one also has to love the para that reads: Mrs Tuck said there was “something special” about the nurturing spirit of an all girls’ school.

Well, yes.

(Look, don’t blame me, OK? I didn’t write it … I just fearlessly report the world’s lunacies.)
