Nicolas Sarkozy uses footstool to see over lectern - Telegraph
Nicolas Sarkozy, the French President, has started using a footstool to make up for his lack of inches when appearing with taller world leaders.

A video caught him using the discreet wooden accessory during the D-Day commemorations in Normandy last weekend.

It followed repeated attempts by the 54-year-old to use everything from stacked heels to standing on tiptoes to increase his tiny stature.

BBC - Man Utd accept £80m Ronaldo bid  

Manchester United have accepted a world record offer of £80m from Real Madrid for Cristiano Ronaldo.

"United have agreed to give Real Madrid permission to talk to the player," said a statement from the English club.

It added that the decision came at Ronaldo's request after he "again expressed his desire to leave".

United described the offer for the 24-year-old forward as unconditional and added that they expected the matter to be concluded by 30 June.



Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

Good business. Ronaldo ceased to be a team player for much of the season, believing that he and he alone was sufficient to make things happen. consequently he squandered many opportunities for the team to advance. It's also significant that his increased selfishness led to him scoring far fewer goals this season.

I bet Fergie realised that this tendency would only get worse and so wished him on Real before he became a total liability.

keep to the Fen Causeway
