Not strictly on topic here, but I thought the following line from this article, in its combination of BBC gravitas and farce, was just too priceless not to be consigned to posterity:
quote:
Czech Deputy Prime Minister Alexandr Vondra apologised directly to Bulgaria, which has formally complained over its depiction as a toilet in the art work.
I'd love to hear Brian Perkins read that.

Also from America, and rather a press cutting than a headline (as in BBC Radio 4's 'Newsquiz') - but I hope this may be permitted:
Capt Sullenberger looked up and in an instant his windscreen was filled with big, dark-brown birds.
"His instinct was to duck," said NTSB board member Kitty Higgins, [...]."
