Christine Lagarde could belittle Strauss-Kahn

Putin may have been fooled, but leading candidate to take over from Dominique Strauss-Kahn at the IMF Madame Lagarde demonstrates why she didn't get-into-bed with the troubled financier.

Sky News

Britain's Chancellor George Osborne supports Christine over former Chancellor of the Exchequer and PM Gordon Brown, perhaps Osborne thinks she will better measure up.

Hey, no, listen, I've got this groovy idea...

Give way to the right even if you're travelling anti-clockwise around a roundabout, I think that's right.

This beauty in Hemel Hempstead is sure to confuse even the most talented learner, let's hope it isn't on the DVLA test route. The rumours that the town planning highways department grow marijuana on the island are totally unfounded.

No Diplomatic French Letter for IMF Chief

BBC

IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn, now on enforced sabbatical, may want to plead that his physical actions can sometimes be misconstrued as having something of a sexual nature. His arrest, on a plane about to leave JFK to Paris, came after accusations of imprisonment and sexual assault from a chamber maid in the exclusive Sofitel off Times Square. Don't expect any kiss-and-tell stories from his stand in John Lipsky, although Dominique's French Presidential aspirations look to be in trouble.

Go to outer space?

First man to put the toilet seat down?

Run the first sub-four minute mile?

Yep, you guessed it. They went for the cliché male/female bathroom conundrum.
Even they confess to being stooopid.

Protesters in Poof Pink?

In a strange turn of events, President Yoweri Museveni of Uganda has sprayed economic and political protesters with pink gunge.

BBC

An odd choice of colour for the would be homosexual exterminator, you'd think. With six months no bail arrests on offer for any protester, the president's reinstated regime rule this week, already at 25 years long, doesn't bode well for anyone in opposition to Mr. Museveni's diktats.
