Great quote from the Economist on the plight of the world economy as it is currently affecting France
'French workers held the boss of their factory hostage as they sought to renegotiate redundancy packages. It is the second time a boss has been held hostage in France recently over lay-offs. Others have merely been pelted with eggs'
Great story on the bbc newsbeat page about an eighteen year old kid who's gone off travelling and has left his parents a reminder of him – a drawing of a very very large willy ( sixty feet long ! ) , which he has painted on the roof of their home in Berkshire , England . Apparently it took him a year to draw it and his parents have only just found out – bet he'll get a great welcome home present !
