When I glimpsed 50-8, I assumed it was a rugby score, not the Test match!!
A wise move
Good decision by Joe Calzaghe to quit at the top. Just hope he doesn’t get tempted with megabucks.
Money well spent
2000 business and political leaders spend 5 days in Davos and we get: ‘we don’t know what to do, only that we need to do something and we need to do it fast’. Absolutely brilliant. No wonder they’re in charge!
The octuplets
Why was a woman who already had six children given fertility treatment?
Oops!
CNN also rapidly removed one their headlines from cyberspace: ‘Obamas juggle inaugural balls’.
Beware Poodles on Prozac
Apparently, former French President Chirac was briefly hospitalised after being mauled by his clinically depressed poodle. The pooch seems to have been on anti-depressants for a while. Obviously works.
It’s how you read them
First headline I saw this morning (on the BBC) was: ‘Economy and war on Obama agenda’. First day in office and he’s already looking to start a war! Others must have thought the same because the headline was changed pretty rapidly.
Good advice
If all else fails, read the instructions.
Please collapse in an orderly fashion
According to the White House, President Bush ‘will not allow a disorderly collapse of the auto industry’. How on earth will he ensure it is orderly?
Pound takes a dip
Pretty dramatic drop for both the pound and dollar today, the pound down to 1.03!!!! Parity here we come.
