Mobile Phone Stolen from Six Star Liam
A mobile phone containing the numbers of Ireland's biggest pop stars has been stolen during Westlife's tour. The
phone belonged to Liam from Six and was
stolen from his hotel room.

The phone contained numbers for people
like Samantha Mumba, the boys from Westlife
and Louis Walsh. "I'm terrified that they're
all going to kill me," said a frantic
Liam, "I had around numbers on the phone.
But nobody has received and weird messages
so far. I left my room at about noon and
it was gone when I got back at 3pm. I
was going to the gym with Kyle and didn't
want to look after it. The worst of it
was I told Kyle he was an idiot for brining
his with him." Poor Liam, who, last
night, had his first free evening since
the tour began can hopefully put the last
few days behind him. "I have to ring my
mother who probably thinks I've dropped
off the face of the earth. Things have
been so hectic."

Space
ticket cost over $20 million
South
African Mark Shuttleworth has paid more
than $20 million for a ticket into space
with a Russian rocket. Mark
is the world's second space tourist. Last
year American Dennis Tito flew on a Russian
rocket to an international space station.
The Soyuz TM 34 aircraft blasted off this
morning, Thursday 25/4/02, at 10.26am
Moscow time from the Baikonur cosmodrome
in Central Asia, where the space age began.
Sputnik, the world's first satellite lifted
off from there in 1957, followed four
years later by Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin,
who made the world's first manned flight.
Yesterday Mark said, "I has always hoped
and believed that I could fly into space…
It has been the greatest experience to
have trained and worked to get to this
point."

Buildup Begins For Second
'Rings' Installment |
| With
Part 1 of the trilogy, 'The
Fellowship of the Ring', still
packing them in at the cinema,
a glimpse of the second installment,
'The Two Towers', will be
revealed to US moviegoers
next month. However, the trailer
will be added to the end of
the film, just before the
credits. No one is sure if
the same will be done over
here, but let's hope so. More
good news for fans of the
film comes from director Peter
Jackson, who said that another
30 minutes of footage would
be added to the DVD version
of 'The Fellowship of the
Ring'. The film is expected
to sweep the awards at the
upcoming Oscars. |

Book of Records

College, attempted to break the world record for the longest
Chinese whisper. 557 Chinese whispers
helped them to make history in
the Guinness Book of Records all
in the name of charity. It took
just 22 minutes for the students
to break the previous record of
270 whispers.
The whisper started off as 'They
inherited the earth. Then the
army came and scorched it'. At
the end of the long chain of students
the last whisper was ' Mayfield
College'. The record breaker raised
€1,000 for Amnesty International. |

Sad
goldfish needs pair of armbands
to swim!
Gandalf the goldfish has been
fitted with arm bands because
he cannot swim properly. Gandalf's
worried owner made the "armbands"
using a wine cork. Now Gandalf
can happily go up and down his
tank. Gandalf's swim bladder -
the special sac the helps fish
to get to different depths - does
not work properly. This meant
that Gandalf found it difficult
to get to the surface of his tank
to reach his food flakes. His
owner was concerned that Gandalf
could starve to death so he sliced
a wine cork in half lengthways
then carefully attached the pieces
to his pet with an elastic band.
