I had to squat in a street looking like an insurance claims adjuster in order to take this photo, but I really liked this light blue vehicle and wanted everyone to see it.
Rear corner of a light blue vehicle with an emblem that says Travelall. The blue is dull and faded with some rust and dents, but it still looks pretty

A 16,000 ton cargo liner has been built on Clydeside in 122 working days. The shipyard claims that this is a record for this type of vessel.

Some politicians in America want to ban actor Richard Burton from the country because his arrival would “damage the morals of young people”.

Muddy water from the River Mersey, which flows in Beatles country, will be on sale for 2s a bottle from today. The bottles are labelled “Chateau Merseyside” and “Unfit for Human Consumption”. The bottles of water might be exported to America, where the Beatles are appearing.

I have never read a more useful footnote. (From Michael D.C. Drout’s The Tower and the Ruin.)

* An easy mnemonic is to note that "TEEN-aged MU-tant NIN-ja TUR-tles" is in trochaic tetrameter, as each word follows the pattern of a stressed syllable followed by an unstressed syllable (trochee), and there are four words (tetra). Another potentially useful mnemonic (at least for readers of a certain age) is this rhyming couplet consisting of two lines of trochaic tetrameter: "HOLD the / PICK-le / HOLD the / LET-tuce | SPE-cial |
OR-ders / DON'T up-/SET us."
