OFFSIDE OFFSIDE Student fails exam after naming his hero
A student failed his French exam, by a single mark, after he named Cristiano Ronaldo alongside a picture of a goat.
Ahmed Nabil, 15, was presented with a variety of different animals in the paper but rather than write down a ‘sensible’ answer, he included a certain five-time Ballon d’Or winner in his work.
“For me personally, it was a very hard test and one of the sections was: write the meaning of every animal we show you but in French.”
“I couldn’t remember what a goat was called in French, so I thought I’d do something creative and make a couple of my mates laugh instead of just leaving it empty.”
The tweet did receive over 15,000 likes in the space of 24 hours, though, so that may provide a crumb of comfort as many agreed that Ronaldo is in fact, the greatest of all time. Nabil believes that is the case, although he does admit a hint of bias!
We all need one of these! Stolen swings
The theft of play equipment from a park in the Wiltshire village of Dogridge, was reently discovered by a parish council groundsman.
Councillor Susan Relfe (pictured right), reacted to this bizarre crime: “It just beggars belief that somebody thought it was a good idea to take them.”
Her comments were echoed by chairman of Purton Parish Council Ray Thomas. “I just find it incredible the anybody would stoop to low to steal children’s play equipment,” he said.
In common with other play areas, the Dogridge park has been shut during the lockdown. The swings had been taped up to dissuade children from using them.
Many of you will also need one of these! Leeds United remove Osama bin Laden
English Championship side Leeds United removed a cardboard cut-out of former
Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden from the stands at Elland Road after it was spotted in a photo posted on social media, a BBC report said.
With fans not being able to come to the grounds to watch their teams in action due to Covid-19, the club invited fans to send in photos of themselves or loved ones to put on the empty seats.
The BBC quoted Leeds as saying they will “ensure there are no more offensive images” in the stands. However, the cut-outs obviously worked, as Leeds won promotion to the Premier League.
