James May has been best known for speeding around the world in supercars on The Grand Tour with his co-stars Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond - but in his down time he likes to retreat to a tiny village in Wiltshire, called Swallowcliffe. To say that it's secluded is an understatement. There are no shops, post offices, dentists, doctors' surgeries or even ATMs there, with residents forced to travel three miles to Tisbury instead. Meanwhile, you can forget buying a home there, because, at the time of writing, there was none on the market. Even nearby Tisbury is remote, with such little light pollution out in the countryside that the local train station is an official Dark Sky Reserve and constellations can be seen in the surrounding sky with the naked eye. There's only one main public building in Swallowcliffe aside from its church - and that's the Royal Oak pub, which he bought shares in back in 2020. Finding himself isolating in the village during the pandemic, he joked that if he hadn't stepped in to buy half of it, he would have found himself without a local pub. The decision ended up placing him head-to-head with Jeremy Clarkson , who opened his own country pub in the Cotswolds in August 2024, close to his Diddly Squat farm. In spite of being surrounded by fields and nature, it's barely a half hour drive from the famous cathedral city of Salisbury, which has put it on the map with tourists from as far afield as Singapore. The pub, which boasts plenty of "locally sourced produce", also has six guest bedrooms where visitors can stay. The menu includes a £75 steak which playfully claims to be the "Chateaubriand of Wiltshire" and an £80 Laurent-Perrier La Cuvee Brut from the Champagne region, which is sold with the words: "For those of you that don't really care how much wine costs, look no further." Another beverage choice, the Domaine Durand Sancerre Vielles Vignes from the Loire Valley area, is subtitled: "We drank 27 bottles of wine and this was our favourite. A glass of Sancerre is also an acceptable form of staff tip!" Meanwhile, it's evident which is James' personal favourite, as the Ribeek Cellars Shiraz wine is labelled with the warning that he'd "bought a few cases for his own personal drinking, so we might not have any in stock". Gin entrepreneur James has boasted that The Royal Oak is one of just two pubs that stock his own brand, the other being his London local, The Cross Keys on Black Lion Lane. However, James surprised fans when he revealed that he doesn't order a glass of his own gin while he's there, the reason being that he already has "gallons of it" at home. Instead, he opts for a beer, with the price going onto a tab - and even takes pints home to enjoy at the self-built house he shares with his partner Sarah. Although eagle-eyed fans might catch him cycling around West London, and he'd like to keep his home there until he dies, there'll always be a place in his heart for Swallowcliffe, where he regularly retreats to enjoy idyllic British countryside away from recognition and the crowds. Check out our review of James' pub, The Royal Oak here , and learn how it compares to Jeremy Clarkson's.Woman sues over VPD surveillance trailer parked near her apartment
HALIFAX — The Transportation Safety Board of Canada is investigating an incident involving a plane at the Halifax Stanfield International Airport, which one passenger described as a rough landing that sparked flames. Nikki Valentine, a Halifax woman who was on the PAL Airlines flight, said passengers felt a "massive rumble" upon landing Saturday night. "The cabin tilted, we saw sparks and then flames and then smoke started getting sucked into the cabin," she told The Canadian Press in a direct message over social media. Airport spokesperson Tiffany Chase said Saturday an Air Canada Express flight operated by PAL Airlines, arriving from St. John’s, N.L., experienced an incident upon landing at approximately 9:30 p.m. Air Canada spokesperson Peter Fitzpatrick said late Saturday that the plane experienced a "suspected landing gear issue" after arrival and was unable to reach the terminal. Fitzpatrick said the crew and 73 passengers were off-loaded by bus and nobody on board was injured. A Nova Scotia RCMP spokesperson said on Saturday that some minor injuries were reported, but clarified Sunday that in fact no one was injured. Valentine said she is "especially thankful the pilot was able to get ahold of the situation very fast." The incident temporarily halted flight activity at the airport. As of Sunday afternoon, Valentine and other passengers were still without the bags they were instructed to leave on the plane. Valentine said she contacted Air Canada, who told her that it could be up to three more days before their bags are returned as the investigation into the incident continues. "A lot of people have things like house keys or wallets they needed and couldn't get," she said. "It's all proper procedure, and I'd rather the inconvenience (of missing bags) than if anything bad had happened, of course, but it's still tough." This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 29, 2024. Lyndsay Armstrong, The Canadian Press

BOSTON — Forty years ago, Heisman Trophy winner Doug Flutie rolled to his right and threw a pass that has become one of college football’s most iconic moments. With Boston College trailing defending champion Miami, Flutie threw the Hail Mary and found receiver Gerard Phalen, who made the grab while falling into the end zone behind a pair of defenders for a game-winning 48-yard TD. Flutie and many of his 1984 teammates were honored on the field during BC’s 41-21 victory over North Carolina before the second quarter on Saturday afternoon, the anniversary of the Eagles’ Miracle in Miami. “There’s no way its been 40 years,” Flutie told The Associated Press on the sideline a few minutes before he walked out with some of his former teammates to be recognized after a video of The Play was shown on the scoreboards. A statue commemorating Doug Flutie's famed "Hail Mary" pass during a game against Miami on Nov. 23, 1994, sits outside Alumni Stadium at Boston College. Famous football plays often attain a legendary status with religious names like the "Immaculate Reception," the "Hail Mary" pass and the Holy Roller fumble. It’s a moment and highlight that’s not only played throughout decades of BC students and fans, but around the college football world. “What is really so humbling is that the kids 40 years later are wearing 22 jerseys, still,” Flutie said of his old number. “That amazes me.” That game was played on national TV the Friday after Thanksgiving. The ironic thing is it was originally scheduled for earlier in the season before CBS paid Rutgers to move its game against Miami, thus setting up the BC-Miami post-holiday matchup. Boston College quarterback Doug Flutie rejoices in his brother Darren's arms after B.C. defeats Miami with a last second touchdown pass on Nov. 23, 1984, in Miami. “It shows you how random some things are, that the game was moved,” Flutie said. “The game got moved to the Friday after Thanksgiving, which was the most watched game of the year. We both end up being nationally ranked and up there. All those things lent to how big the game itself was, and made the pass and the catch that much more relevant and remembered because so many people were watching.” There’s a statue of Flutie winding up to make The Pass outside the north gates at Alumni Stadium. Fans and visitors can often be seen taking photos there. “In casual conversation, it comes up every day,” Flutie said, when asked how many times people bring it up. “It brings a smile to my face every time we talk about it.” A week after the game-ending Flutie pass, the Eagles beat Holy Cross and before he flew off to New York to accept the Heisman. They went on to win the 49th Cotton Bowl on New Year’s Day. Boston College quarterback Doug Flutie evades Miami defensive tackle Kevin Fagan during the first quarter of a game on Nov. 23, 1984, in Miami, Fla. “Forty years seem almost like incomprehensible,” said Phalen, also standing on the sideline a few minutes after the game started. “I always say to Doug: ‘Thank God for social media. It’s kept it alive for us.”’ Earlier this week, current BC coach Bill O’Brien, 55, was asked if he remembered where he was 40 years ago. “We were eating Thanksgiving leftovers in my family room,” he said. “My mom was saying a Rosary in the kitchen because she didn’t like Miami and wanted BC to win. My dad, my brother and I were watching the game. “It was unbelievable,” he said. “Everybody remembers where they were for the Hail Mary, Flutie pass.” Mike Tyson, left, slaps Jake Paul during a weigh-in ahead of their heavyweight bout, Thursday, Nov. 14, 2024, in Irving, Texas.
