U2 Rebuild the Berlin Wall

feeds@yuku.com (Lynne Hand) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 09:38:26 GMT

20 years after the Berlin wall fell, U2 have rebuilt it. A 2 metre barrier was built round the Brandenburg gate to keep out anyone without tickets to the show.

And they had the cheek to sing "... scale these city walls". WTG Bono!

Tender agent Tomek

Our most famous agent in the British press:

"His eyes were heavy with passion as he tried to seduce me," she said. As they became lovers he seemed so trustworthy that she took him to meet her parents - not something that happened very often to 007.

Should children who are obese be taken away from their parents?

A family in Dundee has had a baby removed from its mother the day after it was born. The family had approached the local authority for help to tackle their obesity issues after being warned that they risked losing their children. At the time they had a toddler who weighed four stones and a 12-year-old boy who weighed 16st.

Going for a thong

feeds@yuku.com (Lynne Hand) — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 09:46:42 GMT

A power cut that affected houses and a set of traffic lights in Leadenham, a village in Lincolnshire, England has been blamed on, of all things, a thong. Engineers traced the fault and found the guilty thong had short circuited a power line. It is believed the underwear was carried by a helium balloon from a nearby party. It became lodged in the wires and caused a fault when it got soaked in the rain.

What would possess people to launch their underwear into the ether? Did...

Scientists in Britain are looking for women willing to eat chocolate every day for a year -- all in the name of medical science.

Researchers at the University of East Anglia and a hospital in Norwich, eastern England are trying to find out whether chocolate can cut the risk of heart disease and need 40 women to step forward and help.

Most of the women will have to eat two bars of "super-strength chocolate specially formulated by Belgian...

The Big Lunch

Lots of street parties are taking place in the UK this Sunday . The people of Britain are getting together to sit down and eat lunch together.

The idea was dreamed up by Tim Smit and Paul Twivy one morning at the Eden Project in Cornwall.

There is a real sense of injustice in France as the economic crisis means many people are losing their jobs, but workers imagine that their bosses continue to reap company benefits and bonuses. As a result many furious workers have taken to holding their managers hostage to demand better redundancy packages.

The boss of Sony France was held hostage for a night.
Workers at a pharmaceutical factory held their boss in his office for two days.
A senior manager of 3M was held...
