IT MUST BE TRUE… I read it in the tabloids

A couple are on the hunt for a photographer to capture not just their wedding day, but the most intimate moments of their wedding night. The anonymous pair posted an advert online for a professional to film them from 1am to 3am on the night of their wedding in the Cotswolds in September – so that they will always remember it. They resorted to searching on the internet after their wedding videographer said he wasn’t “comfortable” taking on the task. The job pays £2,000, and the couple have clarified that the video will be “for personal use” only.

An “edgy” ad campaign for funeral services has been banned by Transport for London (TFL). One poster for “low-cost, no-fuss cremation” showed beachgoers running into the sea carrying coffins rather than surfboards, and promised a “one-way” trip with “roasting temperatures”. Another pictured a coffin in a bridal shop, with the caption: “For that perfect look on your big day.” The adverts for the funeral price comparison site, Beyond, were aimed at breaking the “taboo” around death – but TFL said they were “likely to cause serious and widespread offence”.

An attempt to set a record for the world’s largest domino run was foiled last week, when a fly landed on one of the 596,229 pieces, setting off the chain reaction prematurely. A team of 22 people had been recruited to lay out the dominoes, each about the size of a fingernail, using tweezers. Preparations for the event, near Frankfurt, had taken two weeks.
