If you get into bed with the Devil, you share the sheets – and the tweets – Mr Barr.

WORKERS digging a swimming pool got out of their depth after unearthing what they thought was a dangerous discovery in Charleston, South Carolina.

P.S. IT’S fair to say my barman Richard’s New Year’s resolution didn’t last long. He told us this week: “I had a goal to lose two stone by the end of the year. Just three stone to go now.”
