  • An American has invented a remote control that will turn off any telly within a 20ft radius. What a marvellous device! What a splendid invention!

Thousands of miles from here, his healthy lungs are blowing out candles. I should be there but I'm here with another boy, who puts his face close to mine and laughs. I smile back but realise he can't see it, because I'm wearing an antiseptic muzzles to protect me from his breath.
