If you haven't already seen it, this ebay item, and the comments below it, are a humorous read:

Here we have for sale the green monster that can only be Phil and Teds. I shall be glad to see it leave my premises and never return.

This was purchased against my wishes many years ago as I never wanted any children and a buggy signified my wife's intent to have children. We argued much and this buggy signifies everything that ended my happy carefree low cost child free life. 

This buggy clearly meant she intended to have not just one but multiple children and the extortionate price of this buggy will stay imprinted on my brain till the day I die. I have bought cars that cost less than this buggy. My dad once bought a house that cost less than this buggy.

Anyway as you can tell I hate the buggy. I now have 3 children, and a Labrador and am forced to endure the school run where women I dont know try  and discuss the price of centre parc holidays, and the benefits of the micro over the mini micro scooter. To summarize my life is over and this green albatross needs to go round some other poor sods neck.

A secret government file detailing "unnatural" sexual behaviour taking place at Westminster 35 years ago has been unearthed at the National Archives.

The documents were held in the Prime Minister's file series in the 1980s suggesting that the late Baroness Thatcher, the then Prime Minister, may have seen them.

The Cabinet Office has said that the file will be made available to the inquiry into historic child abuse.

Sir Bernard Ingham told Sky News that he did not recall the file but both he and Mrs Thatcher were aware of allegations against a Government minister in the early 1980s.

He said: "I asked him about it and he denied it, so no, I didn't do anything else. What was the alternative?"

"Excuse me, Mr Biggs, but did you rob a mail train?"

"No."

"Well, that's OK then, sorry to have bothered you."

Argostoli police on Monday arrested two Roma women, one aged 28, the other a minor, for shoplifting.


Municipal buildings and schools will be closed tomorrow in respect for the passing away of Spyridonos, Bishop of Kefalonia.

Ryanair prepares itself for a Grexit

Ryanair has inserted a danger clause accompanying the price of its air fares to Greece. The site states in yellow print under the actual fare: “The price may change due to currency conversion.”
