lifetime often keeping an umbrella nearby for protection against flying eggs and vegetables Everyone knows him as the world s worst poet but we are still talking about him today and he has attracted an international audience said Alex Dove a book specialist at Lyon Turnbull He is appreciated because he is comedic McGonagall who died in 1902 was always proud of his works despite his bad reception

the travel website Skyscanner found that 76 percent of people believe airlines should charge a fat tax Only 22 percent of the 550 people questioned disapproved of introducing extra payments to overweight passengers The poll was conducted after a heated debate that started after Air France was misreported earlier this month to be planning an extra charge for the passenger unable to fit into
