WEEKLY COMPILED NEWS

Pookie listens to the news !

The News

I don't know what happens to the royals but again there is nothing special to report except about Prince Charles. For the 60th birthday of his wife Camilla he offered her a he and a she goat ! Isn't that romantic ? Now they are certainly waiting for goat babies. The article doesn't mention any flowers or jewlery.

But now I read something else : The Duke of Edinburgh is hosting a special garden party to mark the Caravan Club's 100th anniversary. That's not true ! This old itsmetheking will make us believe that he spent a night or even several in a caravan ? I am sure the matrass was out of satin and he lay on an oriental carpet, not to forget a crown over his bed ! That's camping !

I click on next page and what do I see there ? After mad cows and birds with flu, we now have cows with blue tongues ! This time it's not dangerous for people so there would not be another animal massacre. I am relieved. Anyway I believe that this is also mostly business and not all for people health.

And then : A 16 year old boy from England had ordered a Playstation Two on E-Bay for only 120 €.To his big surprise he found 65.400 € in the box with the games console, but minus two games ! It's a pity that I don't like playstations ! and what did the too honest people do ? They alerted the police and they are now trying to trace the owner of the money ! But I am just dreaming what could I do with all this money ? Why make the poor police work ??

Now I shake my head ! An Australian rugby league player competed for more than four months with an opponent's tooth buried in his head. It didn't say if he also used it for eating.

It's amazing what all can happen ! A seagull has turned shoplifter by wandering into a shop every day and helping itself to crisps. But only Cheese Doritos. For some reason it doesn't take any others. The shopowner doesn't know what to do anymore. Poor man, I would suggest him to put the Doritos outside.

This is interesting ! Britain became separated from mainland Europe after a catastrophic flood some time before 200,000 years ago, a sonar study of the English Channel confirms. Very interesting how would that be today without the tunnel under the sea or ferry boats and just walking or biking from Ostend to Dover ?

Of course ! News for the moment without Harry Potter don't exist ! (big sigh*) Here it's written: Harry Potter fans around the world had to queue for hours, and in some cases days, to get hold of the final instalment of the wizarding saga. Again Harry Potter ! I am persecuted by him wherever I look !

Something else ! A woman in France wanted to commit suicide and jumped from a rock but she was helt by a bush and hang there for three days until police found her. She was dehydrated but otherwise OK. I suppose she has changed her mind in these 3 days !

And last but not least some art news ! In France (again) a 30 year old woman kissed a painting of the american painter Cy Twombley (??) estimated at 2 million € ! (whistle) It represented an immaculated white surface on 3 m x 2m (9x6-foot) which is now decorated with a red lipstick kiss print ! The woman apparently was so excited about this wonderful painting that she kneeled down and kissed it. She was arrested for degradation of art work (yes that's modern art, even when there is nothing on the canvas).
