		<description><![CDATA[Shocking new research was published in the Telegraph yesterday: only one in five children can perform &#8220;simple tasks like tie a reef knot, read a map or mend a bicycle puncture.&#8221; Nor can they perform such simple jobs as cooking a meal, loading a flintlock or operating a loom, though Chinese children are remarkably adept at [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I live in, quite conceivably, the dullest country in the world. The only thing that makes my work exciting is that I don&#8217;t press &#8220;Save&#8221; as often as I should. My hobbies include (and are mostly limited to) activities that involve sitting. I live in a neighbourhood where a bin facing the wrong direction passes [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I stumbled across a site today that offers something that seems to be good to be true. As usual, it is. The site in question is www.thesecretofinvisibility.com, which offers the secret of invisibility for only $24.95. Being no stranger to invisibility (I studied computer science and have found the easiest way to become invisible is to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently I have taken several steps towards adulthood. Not only did I join the ranks of middle-management and buy a dining table, I also stopped caring about the world at large. That means there&#8217;s little left for me to rant about. As becoming an adult is one of my worst nightmares, I have compensated by [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today has been a bad day for bankers. Not because more countries have decided to tax their bonuses &#8211; so far only France have gone this route and bonuses are based on productivity, so this should not have any serious effects. Today they have been confronted with the harsh truth: people do not like bankers [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[According to Australian anthropologist Peter McAllister’s book “Manthropology”, modern man is a wimp. In the book, Mr McAllister points out that prehistoric Australian Aboriginals could have outrun the current world-record holder on the 100m, Tutsi men could jump higher than the current high-jump world-record and that any Neanderthal woman could have beaten Arnold Schwarzenegger in [...]]]></description>

Frédéric Mitterrand &#8211; 67-year-old French minister of culture &#8211; has been in a spot of bother recently, after admitting to having paid for sex with Thai young boys in his memoirs &#8220;The [...]]]></description>

They&#8217;re lazy, unemployed, riddled with STDs and can&#8217;t even manage to have sex without the help of the government. God, the elderly are useless. As the BBC reports, Manchester City Council has just released a booklet with sex advice for over-50s. A council spokesman said: &#8220;The [...]]]></description>

No, this is not going to be a post about voting Tory in the next election, it is even worse. The Times reports that people are now selling their kidneys in order to make ends meet.
