Jakob Ingebrigtsen soars to Ultimate 5,000m success at new championships

  • Norwegian leaves rival Hocker trailing to claim $150,000

  • Briton Jazmin Sawyers second in the women’s long jump

It is a scene that has become gloriously familiar down the years.

According to salvage expert Ernie English of Parker Diving Service, the squid has deteriorated into a thick mass that will be difficult to remove.

“It’s like concrete,” English said when asked about its consistency.

As usual, you can also use this squid post to talk about the security stories in the news that I haven’t covered.
