Pub receives damning food hygiene rating after chef leaves in disgrace - this appears to be the usual kind of grammatical error, but is in fact correct!
This, I think from Premier Christianity recently - and if not, from another faith periodical which should equally be aware why it is a bizarre headline.
"People are betting on the second coming of Christ happening in 2026. Should Christians take it seriously?"
including, just in case one might have thought this was merely rhetoric, a statement further down,
"Reports are now emerging of some placing financial bets on Christ coming back in 2026."
It demonstrates a weird piece of both theological and financial illiteracy to imagine that when the Day of the Lord happens, one will be able to go round to the bookmaker's the next morning to collect one's winnings.

You couldn't make it up.
Mind you, if you were to bet on the Rapture occurring in 2026, you might be able to collect your winnings, just in time for the Tribulation or whatever...
Trump talking to a Swiss alpine village of 10k inhabitants? - They've surely got better things to do than assisting Europe. Like, trying to avoid avalanches and rockslides?
Not a headline, but something I've just read in an Anglican church's Annual Report. I understand what it's saying - but the immediate meaning to a Baptist such as myself is bizarre! A handmade bespoke bookcase for the use of children has been installed in the Baptistry.

Thank you, both!
Perhaps they should have kept him on ...
So yes, just for once, the headline and the story make sense...
Ho ho ho.
Actually, apply alliteration? Drinkers despondent as pub quizzing hygiene chaos worsens
How about Drinkers despondent as pub quizzing hygiene devastation deepens ?
Alliteration's artful aid aptly applied...

It's good to know that Our Blessed Lord is having a good time. Shame about the rest of us, but hey...

O wait - is it the Children living in the bookcase who will get wet? That might not be so bad a thing
