The Daily PollUP TO 300 pilots and cabin crew could lose their jobs at Ryanair as it plans to cut its Dublin fleet following an ongoing dispute between the airline and the union representing Irish based pilots.

My home is inundated with these creatures. Please help!
“Then, last summer, the man who originally discovered the species in ’83, Weidong Li, had a chance encounter with the elusive creature. He and a group of researchers were out in the Tianshan Mountains for, what else, pika spotting, when around noon they saw one and snapped the iconic picture above.”
It was hardly a chance encounter if that was the purpose of their visit, is it?
Still not convinced that one is for real. Check google images to see what you think.
