Epic 18-HOUR queues as ‘Asian KFC’ Jollibee opens in London – and fans compare happiness to ‘birth of my kids’
FANS of Jollibee waited for an incredible 18 hours ahead of the fast food chain opening its first restaurant in London. Over a thousand people queued around the block in Earls Court to be among the first to get a taste of some of the unusual dishes served up. The two men at the front of the line had been waiting 18 hours for the restaurant to open at 8am today. The popular chain has been described as the "Asian KFC". Jollibee's signature dish is the 'Chickenjoy' which is a piece of fried chicken and a side of spaghetti, smothered in a tomato sauce, and then topped with hotdog slices and ground beef. The dish is on sale in the UK for £4.99. Also on the menu in Britain, which is slightly different from the one in Asia, is the Chickenjoy Bucket. This has either six or eight pieces of fried chicken, a Double Yumburger as well as fries, sweetcorn and ice-cream. Michael Sibson, 38, cleaner and balloon artist from Guildford in Surrey, was the first super fan in the queue and the first to … [Read more...] about Epic 18-HOUR queues as ‘Asian KFC’ Jollibee opens in London – and fans compare happiness to ‘birth of my kids’
Insight: Clearing the West Bank of bombs for baptisms
0 Have your say The lilting voices of two dozen Muscovite pilgrims rise up from the muddy waters of the River Jordan. Clad in oversized white T-shirts and smocks, they might be mistaken for hospital patients were it not for the vibrant paintings of the Baptism of Christ emblazoned on their fronts. Singing prayers from the Russian Orthodox service, they stand amidst the reeds and wet their heads – a symbolic act at the spot where John the Baptist is believed to have performed the ritual on his cousin Jesus in around 25AD. As they do so, a piteousness of doves takes to the desert sky; time seems to bend and, for a fleeting moment, ancient and modern fuse into one. “We have been following the route of Christ in Jerusalem,” Maria Yuryeva tells me, as she steps back, dripping, on to the wooden decking. “It is very special here. It makes you feel – not stronger in your beliefs, maybe, but more spiritually connected.” I am … [Read more...] about Insight: Clearing the West Bank of bombs for baptisms
Grace Millane murder suspect called her ‘beautiful, very radiant’ in creepy social media message hours before ‘killing her’
THE man accused of murdering Brit backpacker Grace Millane wrote her a message on social media saying she was "beautiful" and "radiant", it has emerged. Grace, from Essex, was killed last week and a 26-year-old man has now appeared in court in Auckland charged with her murder. Wearing blue police-issue overalls, he faced Auckland District Court and stood for nearly 90 minutes just yards from Grace's dad and uncle. Not long before Grace, 22, went missing, he described her on a social media site as "beautiful very radiant". It comes after New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern today told Grace's family: "I'm sorry."
