And in todays news


Be afraid, be very afraid... To go swimming.  Biologist Dr Mardik Leopold,  of the Institute for Marine Resources and Ecosystem Studies at Wageningen in Holland Claims people are at risk of seal attack.
No seriously I'm not making this up.  It seems that the seals have been attacking porpoises around Holland and the north sea.  Dr Leopold believes they may start attacking people next.
Now apparently we have around 180.000 grey seals so that could be trouble.... and you were afraid of that harmless great white!
Personally I'm not too bothered, I hardly ever swim in the sea, and for the next six months or so it'll be bloody freezing here, so bring it on seals!  All we need now are some Canadians with those bat things.....

Mariella Frostrup is very angry, it seems her £400 a month medical insurance wont cough up for the combination of drugs she needs to get through menopause, and apparently the NHS doesn't offer her the help she wants. Well I hate to say this but stop paying £400 a month then and manage like the rest of the less privileged people, they get through menopause without elaborate cocktails of drugs.

In Shanghai China two fifteen story tower blocks built to house people moved to make way for a Disney theme park have leaned so much the tops are now touching, the building are only two years old.
Chen Tong, head of the engineering department at the Xintuan Real Estate company that maintains the properties and is responsible for them, denied there was a problem.
He added: 'Only some decorative parts on the eaves were broken and residents can live in the blocks without any worries at all.
Well you won't catch me living in one matey!
