Citizenship test

Via Diamond Geezer, a link to the official UK Citizenship Test site.
You need to get 80% of the answers correct before you can be granted British citizenship.
The questionnaire is surprisingly hard. No wonder many British people who sit the test fail.
That's not too different from the Dutch test we discussed earlier.
I got 67% of the Dutch test and 71% of the British one.

The New Zealand one is easy: root for the All Blacks, or just root one.

Summertime, and the living is easy

Belgian detective inspector arrested for driving around in his car in his underpants and leering at young girls, but freed since he didn't break any laws.

Albuquerque man Danny Brawner, pants down, bare assed and hanging free, was spotted having simulated sex with the trunk of his car. His arms were waving around in the air and he was shouting. He was indicted on two felony counts of aggravated indecent exposure. It’s classified a felony because a couple of kids witnessed the bizarre coupling.

Belgian man arrested in fast food joint for dropping his pants and touching himself. Police had to counsel families with kids watching while eating their burgers.

Amorous Nigerian couple in court for having sex on a church altar in Lagos. They were fined 117 euro and have to clean the church top to bottom to cleanse the sacrilege.

To prevent chaffing (sic)...

From the Manchester Evening News (via Naked Male News):

Watch Manager Neil Gyllenship and fire-fighter Dean Jagger, both of Manchester Airport Fire Service, will be making a gruelling 3000-mile journey across the Atlantic ocean. And they'll be doing the whole thing naked.
The pair, known as 'Team Heatwave', will be stripping off to take part in the Atlantic Rowing Race 2009 to raise money for north west charities Claire House Children's Hospice and Childflight.
At the launch at Manchester Airport's Terminal 2, the men posed naked in their rowing boat to mark the start of the campaign to raise over £100,000 for the two causes.
Dean, 40, from Mirfield, West Yorkshire, said: "We'll be rowing naked for the entire time we're out there to try to prevent chaffing, so we've been scrubbing our backsides and hands to try to toughen up our skin."

Rowing the Atlantic. In the buff. In December. With nothing but each others' hands to prevent chafing. I hate to think what those pasty, smooth bodies will look like at the end of their ordeal. Will there be enough baby oil in Antigua?

And what is it with this thing of naked rowing?:

Frikar

Norwegian dance troups Frikar accompanied Alexander Rybak in his Eurovision Song Contest triumph, but they do a lot of other material too. Not all of it squeaky clean, it seems.
I quite liked their acrobatics on stage at the Eurovision.
