Around 4,500 books were damaged when jets of water from under floor central heating rapidly seaped through the ICE library.

Half of the library was cut off due to tremendous amounts of water flooding the floor making it potentially dangerous to access. Some of the most historic books were damaged by the flood, around 4,500 and most were dried in situ with about 600 being sent to two professional book restoration firms.

Do you want to know what the secret is? Well, the secret is a little un-truthful as it is not really just £20. Forget spending millions on wedding caterers and fly out to Thailand. You can get married, eat all you want, get drunk, get the biggest venue in Thailand all for about £20.

It is so cheap over there you wont believe. I was over there a short while ago and the people were so nice, you can live lavishly on little money and the country is so beautiful. Most importantly, you dont need to be Thai in order to get married over there. Their laws allow anyone of any nationality to get married in their country. So there you go, ok you have to buy a flight but the actualy marriage itself will cost you peanuts!

Audi has now confirmed that they will be releasing a new electric car in the not to near future. A statement for audi states:

Peter Schwarzenbauer, who sits on the management board at Ingolstadt, told Autocar “We will offer a pure electric car” at last week’s Paris motor show.

Schwarzenbauer was responding to rumours that Mini is planning an electric version of the Cooper for the LA motor show in November.

He went on to reveal that the small electric Audi “will not be based on the A1”, the firm’s premium supermini, which was previewed by a concept car in Paris.

Well I hope they can make a real good effort of this, as it will burst the car leasing economy to an all time high, as electric motors will dramatically drop the price.

Junk food could potentially be completely outlawed in the near future as the government are currently processing a legislation that will help teach young children about a healthy, balanced diet. Junk food has always been a part of English school culture but in recent years we have seen some radical improvements to the healthy food promise that the government have been targeting. Jamie Oliver is one of many who have been trying to change how local school’s think and what they serve out for lunch.

There has been an incredible increase of young children having to turn to cosmetic surgery because of their un-healthy diets. Liberal Democrat Jenny Randerson first introduced a committee in April 2008 to consider and report on the general principals of a measure which was presented by the liberal party.

After considering the measure that was currently in place at local schools the report said that healthy eating diets are far too varied. They need to be focused and direct. This is under the assembly government’s £8.4M healthy eating in schools pilot scheme called, ‘Appetite for Life’.
