Sign on you crazy Diamond: Barclays chief resigns
I got a laugh out of it anyways
Head of the CIA has resigned after his extra-marital affair with his biographer was revealed:

[SIZE=4]Tampon tax a “bloody outrage”[/SIZE]
A Perth university student’s pun-ridden online petition against tax on tampons has attracted almost 40,000 supporters.
Sophie Liley from the Women’s Department of the University of Western Australia’s student guild created the petition earlier this month.
Other essential items and services, such as basic food, water, education, child care and health are exempt from GST, but tampons and sanitary pads attract the 10 per cent charge as part of the goods and services tax, introduced in 2000.

[SIZE=6]Kerry on regardless[/SIZE]
EX-GAA ace Darragh O Se walked away from a drink-drive rap yesterday — to the bafflement of the case’s judge.
The Kerry football legend, 37, was due to answer claims that he had been boozed up behind the wheel after attending a match at Croker last month.
It was also alleged he was driving dangerously — and without a licence or insurance — when cops pulled him over on the N7, near Kill, Co Kildare on February 3.
But former All Star O Se, who won six All- Ireland’s during his 15-year county career, failed to show when the case was called at Naas District Court.
Instruction And Judge Desmond Zaidan was later told that the charges were to be withdrawn because of “procedural difficulties”.
Gda Supt Patrick Mangan revealed how the DPP had issued the instruction in the light of new legislation concerning first-time offenders.
He added that O Se — a nephew of Kingdom icon Paidi, who died last year — had also since produced his licence and insurance details to gardai.
The explanation left Judge Zaidan scratching his head.
He remarked: “That’s two charges. What about the drink driving and dangerous driving charges?
“These are serious allegations. I just don’t understand it.
“I don’t know what these procedural difficulties are.”
The judge also asked why O Se hadn’t made the journey to court from his home in Tralee.
Solicitor Conal Boyce revealed he had advised his client not to attend, knowing the charges would be withdrawn.
He added: “There was no suggestion of any disrespect”.

More a weird news story than outstanding headline.
[SIZE=6][FONT=georgia]PFA defends Luis Suárez’s place on Player of the Year shortlist[/FONT][/SIZE]
In today’s Guardian-Gordon Taylor defending the nomination of Luis Suarez, who was the best player in the league this year, for Player of the Year.
I don’t think people are understanding the purpose of this thread.
It is an outstanding headline that jumps out at you as soon as you go to the Guardian’s sports section-not like croppy boy’s retarded Jagermeister headline.
