It's unusual for a musician to sell out their first-ever paid gig, and even fewer have done it at a 450-capacity venue. But most musicians don't play their first gigs at age 66, or 41 years after attempting to assassinate a sitting U.S.
Council slammed over 'bonkers' reason for banning daffodils in park
05.04.2022 - 18:39 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
A council in Cornwall has been slammed over their 'bonkers' reason for not allowing daffodils to grow in a play park. The traditional yellow flowers have been banned over fears children will eat them.
Daffodils can be toxic if ingested, but local residents have slammed the decision saying that children 'don't eat the flowers, anymore than they would eat rubber from play equipment'. St Blaise Town Council, which covers the town of St Blazey, near St Austell, Cornwall, denied accusations from locals that it had been cutting down the flowers at the Old Roselyon Play Area.
The council said it had not removed any of the daffodils growing currently, but has said it will not be planting any more, reports Cornwall Live. Barry West, the chairman of the Roselyon Play Park Committee, said of the ban: “Are they going to put signs up saying don’t eat the daffodils next? This is totally bonkers."

He added: "There have always been daffs in the park. It used to be an old orchard and there must have been about 1,000 flowers. Most of them have now been cut down. And to say that it’s because they are toxic to children if they eat them is crazy.”
St Blaise Town Council has not said whether it is involving the police to find out who may be behind cutting down the flowers. Dr Mark Evans from the South West Health Protection Unit did confirm the toxicity of daffodils, saying: “Daffodils are toxic and severe vomiting and diarrhoea can occur if eaten by mistake. Although very unpleasant, most people will recover fully without treatment.”
St Blaise Town Council confirmed its decision not to have any new daffs in the foreseeable future for health and safety reasons

David Mamet slammed over claim that many male teachers are ‘inclined’ to be pedophiles
Florida passed a so-called “Don’t Say Gay” bill, which bans sexual orientation or gender from being taught to children under 10.“We have to take back control,” Mamet said. “If there’s no community control of the schools, what we have is kids being not only indoctrinated but groomed in a very real sense by people who are, whether they know it or not, sexual predators.“Are they abusing the kids physically? No, I don’t think so.
