I can't decide which story I like best in today's London Metro.
A) German guide 'insults' Essex - a German travel guide, found in a Colchester chip shop, contained filthy jokes about Essex girls and the revelation that the men 'wear white tennis socks and zoom around in a souped-up Ford XR3i breaking the speed limit'. Did it really say that? Do Germans know what a souped-up Ford XR3i is?
B) A face for the top job - Vauxhall commissioned a study by Kent University to find the characteristics of the best bosses. Apparently it's all about foreheads, lips and eyebrows. Cue computer-generated images of the blandest people who (n)ever lived, and completely risk-free quote from a college Professor.
C) Naked rival to Facebook unveils itself - quote a disappointing headline (and no pictures) for an amazing story about how a 24 year-old has created a social network for nudists. 'The site was created after a group of students stumbled on a nudist beach' (as a joke, then). There are now a staggering 6,000 members. Not long to go before it rivals Facebook's 200 million.
They're all good ones but mine was the 'Regular sex is good for you' article regarding sex education for school children! Apparently sex should be fun at any age - who knew! http://bit.ly/b2Xla
