A man who is being forced to leave his London flat has posted a video on social media showing all the faults the property has and it has gone viral. It shows that the bins are under the living room window and smelly and unpleasant especially in the summer. There is a problem with ants and he says the kitchen appliances are rubbish. Shelves are hung at an angle and he says, jokingly I believe, that there are ghosts. He then photographs himself in his girlfriend’s underwear. What some people will do for a moment of fame.
All families can have their problems no matter how rich or poor we only have to watch the Royals to know that. Now it seems the Barclay brothers offspring have had a falling out. It appears that three of Sir David Barclay’s sons are being sued by their uncle Sir Frederick Barclay for invasion of privacy. He claims that they planted a bugging device in the Ritz hotel to listen to private and business conversations. Somehow, and don’t ask as it’s a long and convoluted story, because of information obtained the Ritz was sold for half its value. The nephew was filmed inserting the bug in a socket in the hotel’s conservatory. Sounds like someone was spying on the spy. It’s very difficult being a billionaire.
Police in Cornwall were using a drone to try to catch an escaped offender when they were surprised to spot an unexpected and unusual image ploughed into a field. Someone had used a grass cutting machine and left an image of a large penis. Various comments were made following the report such as ‘it must have been a hardened criminal’. Oh dear, I read all the best daily newspapers don’t I?
Cambridge University has announced that no face to face lectures are planned for the next academic year. Instead all lectures will take place online. Other universities might follow suit and they will be allowed to charge full fees even if courses are taught online. Nothing mentioned about accommodation or the full campus experience which for many students helps them make their choices. Our young people are facing a pretty bleak time with rising unemployment, erratic education (strikes as well as virus) and lack of social interaction with their peer group.
And finally, the news I’m sure you all know, Captain Tom Moore has been awarded a knighthood.
