Slightly late round up this week, seeing as there were weddings, visits and generally a lot to do.
A Mexican has hit the record books as one of the most inventive escape attempts made from jail. He hid inside a suitcase that his girlfriend had brought in, and claimed to contain dirty laundry. The fact that she had trouble taking it out as it was so heavy, tipped the guards off, apparently.
With the 2012 Olympics hitting the news every other day, here's something that might need to get sorted out before the actual start of the event. On the online olympics store, they were selling a keyring with the union flag on it - done incorrectly. It begs belief that these sort of things can get so far before anyone notices...
Another piece of red tape created by the previous government, this time one not so much talked about. Apparently it has been illegal for bars, pubs, hotels to play pianos without paying a licence fee. Now a bill is going through the process to get this act revoked, and allow people to play musical instruments in public places without requiring an entertainment licence.
Now that Wimbledon is over, some of you are probably relaxing in the pure sound of outside birds with no more grunting sounds coming from the women players on court. Well, so that you can prepare for next year, there is now an application that allows you to turn down various aspects of the sound - including the grunting. Yes, you can remove it completely, or turn it up even, if you're into that sort of thing...
And finally, taking religious rules to the extreme, an Austrian man has claimed that having a pasta sieve on his head is his religious headgear, and so has had his driving licence photo taken with it on. And it was accepted. This must join the ranks of Health & Safety, and Political Correctness, and hopefully should get sorted out with some common sense soon.
Keep your hat on...
