By Joseph Golder A teacher who picked a dangerous alpine hiking trail off an internet post causing 99 terrified school kids to be airlifted after becoming stranded could face jail time. Mountain rescuers scrambled two helicopters and 50 extraction experts to pluck the 99 youngsters from a mountainside in heavy rain last week. It has now emerged that the sports […]

\"Everybody on social media does just take everything for a joke.\" She said she did not get any useful information about her missing pet and is constantly at edge wondering if Peep is in pain or worse, dead.
\"Some people love materialistic things and they don't how to value life. I'm not looking for attention or fame, I just want my chicken back.\"
Khan said her mother has been a rock of support and even though she was at first sceptical about posting the missing poster on Facebook, she relented so that \"the person who took Peep will realise just how much that chicken is of value to me.\"
This newspaper decided to not use Khan's image to protect her from further trauma.
The soft-spoken woman was emotional and on the verge of tears as she recalled her time with Peep. She said her pet lived indoors, watched television, and was at her side for most of the day whenever she is at home.

On April 24, she let Peep outside to mingle with her companions, Springs and Browns, two other layers she bought to keep her beloved chicken company. Sometime between noon and 3 pm, Peep went missing and led to a frantic search in the rural community where hunting is a vocation. She could not find any feathers or even a trail of blood in the days that followed but still clings on to hope that someone stole her chicken and may have her pet alive in captivity.
\"Even if she is not alive, I still want her,\" Khan said. She said the first day without Peep was the hardest as she could not eat or sleep.
Every time Khan goes home she is reminded of the emptiness and silence without the happy chirping of her pet.
Last April, Khan was diagnosed with covid19 which knocked her off her feet.
She said Peep helped her cope during the pandemic an

People say things. All the time, often for no better reason than to banish silence, people say things.
One of the things people really like to say is sayings. Old words of wisdom that few ever question, allegedly wise saws, even (and these are my favourites) sayings that have become so mangled over time they no longer mean what they were supposed to.
I'm engaged in an entirely one-sided conversation with many of these sayings - let's agree to lump them all into the category of sayings - with the hope that if I roll them around long enough, they'll answer.
[Note to reader: it's not necessarily that I don't know the origin or historic setting of the saying, it's that their use as conversation fillers distresses me. It's very personal. I won't pretend otherwise.]
[Note to my editor: please don't remove my note to the reader, it's all I've got to justify the small rant that is this week's column.]
Here's what I have issues with.
'It's a piece of cake' to refer to something easily done.
I write about cake a lot. Probably more than you'd expect from a column that is interested in mental health and the way we think as individuals and a society. This is because I think cake is wonderful.
The saying is deeply, deeply offensive to me because, generally, when someone says it, they are not in any manner giving me any cake of any kind. I think it cruel to pretend or even refer to cake if none is coming.
For the love of all that's holy, just say the thing is easy. Stop your cake lies.
Also, some things are not easy.
'Time longer than twine.' Yes, yes, I believe we will find this to be true. If we had all the time in the world - a concept vaguely known as infinity - and we had all the twine in the world, I believe time would win.
This saying, besieging me to be more patient, has the opposite effect.
Why? Because I don't think twine and time are measured in the same way. My hostility to this saying knows no bounds. Is there a scientific process by which we can measure the length of time and twine using the same or comparable units?
Also, sometimes it's hard to be patient.
'There are other fish in the sea.'
Well, I just bet there are! But you know what, the reason we're having this discussion in the first place is because that is the particular fish in which I was interested.
What good befalls me if there be others? More. Bigger. Nicer. Fishier. No good, I say. If I wanted other fish, I would have used a net or some other large thing with which to catch an array of fish. And further, the way things are going these days - pollution, over-fishing et al - how can I be sure there are others?
I understand I'm meant to not dwell on missed opportunities but really, dragging innocent fish into this is too much. I feel for the fish. They don't want to be caught at all, whether they are the right fish or the other fish.
Also, be it thing, chance or person, if you really wanted something, it can take a while to see beyond your desire.
'You can't push a rope.'
