Dancing in the irain!

Unhappy news:  Six Iranians arrested for appearing in a video dancing to Pharrell Williams' song Happy have been sentenced to up to one year in prison and 91 lashes, their lawyer says.  The sentences were suspended for three years, meaning they will not go to prison unless they reoffend, he adds. The video shows three men and three unveiled women dancing on the streets and rooftops of Tehran.

I bought this Soup from Asda, as it said it was Healthy Ingredients.
However, when you read it, I'm not sure that 'Playing Cards' are very healthy to eat?
I found the Seven of Diamonds particularly difficult to swallow.

Diamonds are easy enough to swallow but I could understand you struggling with the spades and clubs. I suppose it all depends if you,v got the heart in it.

I can't get my head around the bravery of the fire brigade officers and other rescue teams who dare to work inside the burnt out Grenfell Tower.
It's not just the sheer horror of what they'll discover within, to me it's the fear of collapse of the structure itself.
Hats off to them all.

They cannot think that is safe as they have shut 2 underground stations for fear of vibration from the trains bringing more debris, or indeed the whole thing down.

I watched them trying to get into the tower, using shields to protect themselves from falling burning debris, they are unbelievably brave, it did bring back past memories.

I think I have mentioned before, that my father was a fireman, in 1960 he was involved in the Cheapside fire disaster in Glasgow, the building they were attending was a whiskey bond in an old part of the city with very narrow streets, they managed to get engines in, but were very close to the building, unfortunately the building blew up, killing 19 firemen, my father survived, simply because he was on day shift, and was not called in until after the explosion.

I have copies of the official photos taken afterwards, the first one is the engine my father would have been on, the second you can just make out the chassis of another.
