It’s iron curtains for brave boffin who came up with this

-

THE world’s a strange place. Let’s start in Germany where a leading male psychologi­st has claimed doing the ironing is good for women as it can improve their mental health.

On hearing this news, millions of German women immediatel­y picked up an iron. Then tried to lamp that guy over the head with it.

Across the border, a stowaway has been found in the luggage hold of a school coach returning from a ski trip to France. The poor man now faces a terrible fate. The school want to keep him on as a teacher.

Meanwhile in Australia, police are investigat­ing suspicious packages found at foreign consulates there.

Definition of a suspicious package in Australia? One containing either explosives, trip wires or alcohol-free lager.

Closer to home, a woman from Wales is waiting to hear whether her 4000 items of Harry Potter memorabili­a will get her into Guinness World Records.

I’m not convinced. She says 3000 of them are hidden under her invisibili­ty cloak.

And we’ll finish off in the good old USA. Donald Trump’s latest TV address had escalated a stand-off with Congress over the Mexican border wall issue.

Trump wants funding for the Mexican wall. Which won’t help much – as some genius in the Mexican government has demanded funding for ladders. ●A GIANT fatberg longer than the Leaning Tower of Pisa has been found blocking a sewer in Devon. The council’s had three offers to take it away. Two from waste disposal firms and one from a kebab shop hoping to recycle it. ●WAYNE Rooney’s spokesman says his arrest for intoxicati­on was a misunderst­anding.

Airport officials in the US saw he was slurring his words and assumed Rooney was drunk.

But it was because he’s a Scouser.
