1

Fraudster Bernie Madoff, who ran the largest Ponzi scheme in history, dying in jail. Has he requested his body be flown to Egypt and laid to rest in a pyramid? 2 How soon before the number of daily deaths from Covid is overtaken by the number of people dying from hypothermia in beer gardens?

3

Hot tubs set to be the most stolen home item of the summer. Who wants to sit in something that was recently a giant soup bowl of strangers’ body juices with scum still on the side to remind you?

4

Mick Jagger giving up writing a book about his life because he thought it was too dull. How many times have you started a celebrity autobiography and prayed they’d done the same? 5
