On The Lighter Side
It’s Friday and that can only mean it’s time for a few lighter stories.
Firstly we all like to get a good deal when it comes to alcohol and some eagle eye shoppers nearly grabbed one.
The supermarket giant Asda mistakenly offered Heineken 10 bottle packs for 10p instead of £10 on its website. Around 2,000 people placed orders, one person ordering 240 bottles alone.
Asda put the mistake down to human error and have unfortunately stated the orders would not be honoured.
Moving on to Germany and the people of Heuersdorf have lost their village but have managed to save their church.
300 villagers are being forced to move to allow miners to get at the coal beneath their houses in the east German town. Their neighbours in Borna have agreed to take in their 700-year-old church.
On Thursday, a truck with its 1,000-tonne load chugged along on the second day of a week-long, 12-km trek to its new home.
Complete with bells and altar, the church will cost more than 3 million euros to move.
And finally we move Australia where the man who is tipped to become Australia’s next prime minister has been filmed eating his own ear wax which has proved a hit on YouTube.
Labor Party leader Kevin Rudd has been posted three times on the website and attracted more than 200,000 web browsers.
While on the backbenches in Parliament, the footage is thought to have been filmed sometime before 2003, Rudd appears to gaze around in a bored manner before inserting his left index finger into his ear and placing the finger into his mouth and chewing.
Politics is definitely a dirty game!

Sister Julianna Says:
Shocking that so much money be spent by a church in a world where the children Jesus loves die of hunger…. small wonder so few turn to Him if this is the example being given…. Lighthearted story? We think not…
