A Quiet Week in Flowers News
I’m sorry. I have searched and searched all week but it doesn’t look like anything is happening in the world of flowers. People are still talking about the controversy of the poisoned flowers in the Bloom of Britain that we talked about last week. But fear not.
In my great quest across the wilderness that is the internet, I have found some worthy flowers news to fill your cravings for the week. It even involves tanks!
Yes, it’s official, this is the biggest hanging basket of flowers ever. Weighing a massive 1.5 tonnes with a circumference of 18 feet, it is so big it needs a tank to lift it (I told you it had tanks). It was made by gardener Wil Thomas to raise money for soldiers injured in Iraq and Afghanistan. Britain is Brilliant.
Man Survives Flight to London in Undercarriage
A man is lucky to be alive after secretly boarding a flight to London and hiding in the undercarriage. The man survived a flight over the Alps inside the undercarriage of a jumbo jet owned by a prominent Arab sheikh.
The Romanian man was extremely lucky to have survived being exposed to temperatures as low as -41C. The flight to London from Vienna in Austria lasted only 1 hour and 40 minutes, which the man spent entirely inside the wheel compartment. The plane was privately owned by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the ruler of Dubai and prime minister of the United Arab Emirates.
The stowaway, a 20 year old Romanian man, did not know where he would end up when boarding the plane. Unfortunately for him he ended up in London, England – a country part of the European Union that he could have entered legally. Though, to be fair, he was luck it was not a long haul flight or he surely would have succumbed to the harsh conditions in the undercarriage.
Danger Termination
Videos are good. Musics is also good. Musics and videos together = 
Just simplifying it there for you a little. Here a little beauty I just came across. The music is by Danger and the video is Terminator, obviously.
Men to get off Sofas?
The Men’s Health Forum is to attept to prevent the early deaths of 1 million men by urging them to get off their sofas. Initial reports say that men can’t be bothered at the moment and “will do it later”.
The Men’s Health Forum is calling for the government, NHS, local authorities, sports organisations & charities to work together, in an attempt to make more middle aged men more active by the 2012 London Olympic games. The challenge is prompet by National Men’s Health Week (14-20th June). It will be the first week to specifically encourage men to get up off their sofas and become more physically active through things like sport.
It coincides with the beginning of the World Cup in South Africa, which is likely to have men across the nation making it to at least the very edge of their sofas, hopefully bouncing up and down on them with joy. The NHS has launched a campaign challenging England fans to see how their fitness compares to the fans of other nations. Action is needed as 22% of men still die before the age of 64 in the UK, compared to 13% of women.
It is thought that higher levels of physical activity could make a big impact. Physically active men have a 20-30% reduced risk of premature death and up to 50% reduced risk of developing major chronic diseases. Physical inactivity is directly linked to a wide range of major health problems, including obesity, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and several cancers.
Men of England. It’s time to get off the sofas!
Megan Fox Replaced with Lingerie Model
Does anyone actually like Megan Fox? She was hailed as the hottest girl in the world after appearing in the first Transformers movie. That I agreed with, then. She was stunning in that movie and will always be remembered for the scene where she is looking under the bonnet of the car.
But I don’t really rate her any more. She can’t act, but to be fair she knows it. She has got a lot of bad press for it but I don’t think she is a diva as some people make out. After the filming of Transformers 2, Fox slated Michael Bay and his production team, despite having already signed up to make a third Transformers movie. Bay’s production team replied in kind, saying she was horrible to work with a terrible actress.
After months of claiming the despite was behind them, Fox finally decided that she no longer wanted to be part of the third movie. A descision we should all be happy about. Why? I’ll show you why!
That is lingerie model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and she will be replacing Megan Fox in Transformers 3. Win. Rosie had not done much acting, instead starting her career as a lingerie model for Victoria’s Secret. She joins what is looking to be a very interesting array of new cast members for the third Transformers movie including Frances McDormand, John Malkovich and Patrick Dempsey. I actually saw her in a shop with her partner Jason Statham outside of the Coachella Music Festival in California last month. Lets just say pictures do not do her justice.
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley has, would you believe it, already worked with Michael Bay. Bay directed a Victoria’s Secret advert which no doubt gave her the opportunity to impress. What’s that? You want to see this advert? Go on then, oh how I spoil you.
Facebook Bigger than Newspapers in Abu Dhabi
Yes it’s officially. In Abu Dhabi there are now more people reading their Facebook news feeds that reading actual news in newspapers. A study by Dubai-based marketing and communications agency Spot On Public Relation has concluded that there are more Facebook users across the Arab-speaking world than there are newspaper readers.
The study found that there are now more than 15 million people using Facebook. Only 14 million newspapers are sold in the region including Arabic. English and French languages. Facebook is now believed to be the number one method of communication and source for news in the area.
The largest number of Facebook users are found in Egypt with 3.5 million, far larger than the biggest newspaper. In the United Arab Emirates, which includes Abu Dhabi, a third of the population had a Facebook profile.
