Roger Moore’s son is a dead ringer for his father in Bond costume
It seems the next generation of the Moore family has continued to keep the British end up, so to speak. The Daily Mail shared an image of Geoffrey Moore, 50-year old son of the third 007 actor Roger, dressed as his father for a party in Mayfair this week. Geoffrey Moore was 7 years old when his father inherited the mantle of 007 with 1973’s ‘Live and Let Die,’ going on to be the most prolific Bond actor with seven films in the role before retiring in 1985 (by which time, most would agree the then 57-year old actor was far too old for the part).

Cyclist killed 'almost instantaneously' after lorry driver failed to observe her
SWNS Louise Wright suffered "catastrophic" injuries after she was struck by a Greene King Brewery truck being driven by Adam Haywood. The 29-year-old cyclist had stopped at traffic lights and carried straight on when they turned green 17 seconds later. But Haywood, 30, turned left causing "the front nearside wheel of the lorry collided with the rear wheel of the bike". A court heard Miss Wright was killed "almost instantaneously" after her bike was pulled under the light goods vehicle and dragged along the road on July 3, 2014. Haywood, of Whitwell, Derbyshire, denied a charge of causing death by careless driving when he went on trial at Derby Crown Court yesterday. His driving was a cause

Jose Mourinho's Embarrassing Nickname For United Captain Wayne Rooney Revealed
Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho is never far away from controversy in football, whether that be on the pitch or off it, so it is no surprise that his own words have come under scrutiny once more. On this occasion, it appears to be in a much more light-hearted manner, and regards a nickname that he has used to describe his own captain and England international Wayne Rooney, which the player himself may not be best pleased with hearing. However, it has been reported that despite only...

Brexit warning: US bank bosses from Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and BlackRock threaten Theresa May with relocation
There followed “frank exchanges” in which bosses warned they could not wait to discover the final outcome of the two-year Article 50 negotiations before making major investment decisions that could see thousands of UK jobs shift to Europe. “The message was clear from at least some of those present: if Theresa May cannot provide some early clarity about where the negotiations will end up, the only way to avoid that uncertainty would be a move towards Europe – there will not be time to wait,” said the City source with knowledge of the meeting. Before the June 23 vote to leave the EU, the heads of several major foreign banks including JPMorgan and UBS warned that “significant” numbers of jobs could be shipped to Europe when the impacts of Brexit became clear. Estimates of possible City job losses from a “hard Brexit” have ranged widely from 40,000 to 80,000 over the next decade, with JPMorgan and Morgan Stanley saying they could shift over 1,000 employees.

UFO? Rogue satellite? Just what was this massive FIREBALL over London?
“I always have a look out the window in the mornings to show my daughter the birds and noticed this strange object in the sky. “At first I thought it was a plane that leaves a trial behind it but realised quickly it wasn’t because it was just hovering. “There were other planes flying high near the object but the object was above the planes and was stationary. “I observed it for around 20 minutes. I thought it might have been the Chinese Space lab [Tiangong-2, which was launched on the same day] but the launch happened at 2pm GMT. “Personally, I’m not sure what the object was. All I know is that it had to have been a massive object to appear as big as it did in the sky.”

Commuters accused of not moving from disabled woman's seat say they did nothing wrong
Cat Lee/Guzelian Cat Lee said she found the men sitting in the seats she had booked for the 6.03pm train on Tuesday evening from London's King's Cross to Skipton in North Yorkshire. The 43-year-old claimed that the men refused to move from her seats even when she explained she was disabled. Mrs Lee posted a picture of the pair on Facebook that blasted them for "not budging". One of the men shamed in the post has since come forward saying the reserved seat was no longer valid, that Mrs Lee did not claim to be disabled or appear distressed or look like she was unable to stand. I'm sure their wives and mothers would be proud of them Cat Lee He said there was an announcement on the train stating

Germany, France hit back at Boris Johnson's 'baloney' jibe
Germany and France brushed aside comments from Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson suggesting there was no link between the EU's principle of free movement and access to its single market, saying they could send Johnson a copy of the Lisbon Treaty and even travel to London to explain it to him in English. Johnson, a leading Brexit advocate who is known for his colourful language, told Sky News television on Thursday that the EU's position that there was an automatic trade-off between what access to the single market and free movement was "complete baloney." Asked about the remarks at a news conference in Berlin, German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble and his French counterpart Michel Sapin shot glances at each other before the German host responded.

Mary Berry 'to judge her own rival cooking show with co-hosts Sue Perkins and Mel Giedroyc'
Mary Berry is set to front her own rival cooking show on the BBC. The 81-year-old culinary queen dramatically quit The Great British Bake Off on Thursday, a week after Channel 4 outbid the BBC for the rights to the popular series, out of “loyalty” to the broadcaster, and she’s being lined up for her own programme with Bake Off hosts Sue Perkins and Mel Giedroyc. Paul Hollywood - who worked alongside Mary as a judge on the show for seven years - signed a three-year deal with Channel 4 to stay on Bake Off yesterday, just hours after Mary announced she was departing the show.

Komodo dragons fighting in slow-mo will make you stay indoors forever
In case you forgot just how magnificent and terrifying the natural world can be, refresh your memory with this intimidating slow motion brawl between two male Komodo Dragons. The footage was captured by photographer Chris Bray while he visited the small Indonesian island of Rinca. Bray left a GoPro and 360 degree Theta S camera in the bushes, catching all the action in an almost too-close-for-comfort battle of Godzilla-like dudes. Komodo Dragons are carnivorous animals that can make a meal of water buffalo and deer, so Bray was smart to back away. "The sheer scaly bulk of these two 80 to 90 kilogram [176 to 198 pound] Komodo Dragons battling it out ... was enough to momentarily transport me back
