Sweets, Presidents, naked veterans and a tarty PM....

Harry Willsher, a 12-year-old schoolboy from Billericay, Essex, has been given the best job in the world, chief tester...in a SWEET FACTORY! Jealous? I am!

Every 3 months Harry is given the chance to test new, top secret sweet recipes after he won a competition at Swizzell's Matlow to find a new recruit. His description of the smells and flavours of his favourite sweet, the Drumstick lolly apparently wowed the judges.

Harry described the factory as being like something out of Roald Dahl's children's classic, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I wonder if he gets paid too?

Also, Veteran actress June Brown, aka Dot Branning was Cotton in Eastenders, is planning to get naked in the future. The 82-year-old actress said "I don't know if it's a pretty sight". One can only imagine!

Barack Obama is establishing himself as a people's president, which is wonderful, but I was slightly annoyed to read that at a recent Washington Fundraiser the likes of Susan Boyle were invited. Boyle shot to fame on Britain's got Talent earlier this year, but I do not think that she should be invited to be entertained by the President of the United States, I mean surely there are more deserving people out there such as ex-army Brits etc. What's worse is she turned the invitation down. The phrase "too big for your boots", springs to mind.

And in conclusion to today's fascinating news update, it has emerged the Gordon Brown wears makeup, and has a step-by-step guide to applying the slap when he has to go D.I.Y. If I looked like him though I would probably do the same, he might want to change his brand however because as far as I can see it's not working for him.
