A drummer was stunned after he discovered his band members' American Airlines tickets were selling for 200 percent more than his own. Ryan Fox recently explained the situation in a TikTok video after looking to purchase tickets for him and his band members to fly to Tennessee. All the musicians besides Fox are starting their travels from Dallas Fort Worth International Airport.

The Civil Aviation Authority said charges for airlines will fall to £23.73 per passenger in 2025 and £23.71 in 2026. That compares to previously proposed caps of £25.24 and £25.28 respectively. Heathrow had argued that it should be allowed to charge as much as £40 per passenger to recoup its pandemic-driven losses.

Taking its cue from a classic punk LP, The Ramones' self-titled debut, Happenings lasts a shade under 29 minutes, pipping The Ramones by seconds in terms of lean, clean economy. A penchant for punchy dance-pop - and the brevity of punk - is obvious from the off. An instrumental prelude leads into the catchy Darkest Lullaby, which advocates searching for relief from any romantic woes by 'forgetting the pain' and heading to the disco, a move reinforced by the equally infectious Coming Back To Me Good.

It was an age of exploration. In the early 20th century, the great minds of the world transformed the lives of millions with advances in emerging new fields. Science fiction dreamed up brave new worlds and the utopian forms they could take, and ambitious powers with newfound wealth offered the means to realise them. At the Pasteur Institute in Paris, rising scientist Ilya Ivanov (pictured left) saw the opportunity to push the frontiers of modern science by taking mankind itself to the next evolutionary level.

Tickets for the small group tours - only 40 people per day - are selling out quickly, according to the official Balmoral website. The £100 tickets get you into a slew of rooms that were previously off limits to the general public, including allowing them a glimpse into the late Queen's beloved Drawing Room, where she first met then Prime Minister Liz Truss just days before her death in 2022.

On Friday, Michael Keetley, 52, was sentenced to life in jail for murdering brothers Juan Guitron, 28, and Sergio Guitron, 22, who were born in Ruskin, Florida, on Thanksgiving 2010. Keetley, a ice cream truck driver, had been shot five times and robbed of $12 in January 2010, and mistakenly thought the Guitron brothers were to blame. The jury heard that a man wearing a'sheriff's t-shirt' arrived at the Ruskin home in a minivan and stepped out, carrying a pistol. He called for someone named 'Cheeper,' who was not present but was aware of the group. Keetley believed 'Cheeper' was behind the ice cream truck shooting, but later discovered to have no involvement. Everyone was then instructed to lie on the ground by Keetley. The guys comply, and one by one shot them believing Keetley was a member of law enforcement, and they fired them one by one. According to Keetley's defense lawyers, he could not have done the shooting due to his injuries.

An albino echidna, one of Australia's most rare marsupials, has been spotted in central west NSW, and although the animal's admiration has dragged online, the local council has yet to reveal the animal's last known location and has warned viewers to keep their distance. According to Council, the echidna, which has been christened Raffie, must be left alone to continue its natural behaviour. Raffie was however stranded on a highway and decided the animal needed assistance to get safely across.

The Queen may have been a private person, but she did occasionally give the world a glimpse of her personal life by posting photos of her numerous homes.
