Russian tourist killed by speedboat in Rhodes

Coast guard officers on the southeastern Aegean holiday island of Rhodes on Sunday recovered the body of a 37-year-old Russian tourist who had gone missing the previous day.

The woman’s body was dismembered, leading officers to believe that she was struck by a speedboat propeller as she was swimming off the coast of Afandou beach.

A 43-year-old Swiss man who was seen driving a speedboat for water sports in the area on Saturday has been remanded in custody and was to appear before a prosecutor on Sunday.

The death appeared to be due to natural causes, but this had not yet been confirmed by tests, police said.

Britain not sunny enough to maintain healthy vitamin D levels, say experts

Intake should be boosted with supplements, say official health advisors in draft recommendations that could lead to new guidance

Almost as surprising as learning that wealthy Greeks are ripping off the electric company  :iroll:

Nah. It was sunbed related. It was having a nice early morning kip in comfort when a load of Germans came along and dumped their towels atop of it.

Alex and Sue Tatham were the first couple to meet and get married on Cilla Black's dating show Blind Date.

Twenty-four years later, they are still together - with two children - after tying the knot in front of a TV audience of 18 million.

The couple talked to the BBC about their experience on the show, and their memories of their televisual "fairy godmother".The couple auditioned for Blind Date in 1988 and ended up at the same recording, where Alex had to choose between three potential dates.

Sue: I was completely nervous and very jittery. But Cilla made everyone feel at their ease.

Alex:Blind Date was very much Cilla's show and she was extremely professional. She had an extraordinary grip on the whole programme. Anyone who showed off too much, she'd put them down. She ruled that show.

The show was very cheesy but we liked it!
