Financial

Not one for most of our readers just yet but more sympathy for the Greeks.

BBC: Greece plans to ban early retirement

Long hot afternoons with a glass of ouzo kicked into the long grass.

Topical

Probably Britain’s best known and perhaps even Britain’s best barrister maybe possibly (we don’t know about the latter; Simon Cowell hasn’t done that show yet) :

The Times: Cherie Blair is the very model of a modern baroness

Objectivity drowned by sycophancy. If you actually read it, you migh need some light relief…

Criminal

Ananova: A naked man found wedged in the chimney of a Lancashire supermarket has been arrested for burglary.

And is fighting for first place in the useless burglar prize with these twits:-

WPBF: “4 Idiots” Found Sleeping In Car After Burglary

This thief, on the other hand managed to keep things classy. But not discrete.

Ananova: Porsche thief ‘drove to court in stolen Lexus’

On to the unusual…

BBC: Hindu wins Northumberland funeral pyre battle

And then the pitiful…

BBC: A primary school in Weston-super-Mare has banned Valentine cards to save pupils the “emotional trauma” of being rejected.

Let’s hope they don’t end up going to law school.

Enjoy the weekend.
