Can you resist laughter? I can’t either because this News is kind of laughable.  In a happy act of defiance Twitter in Turkey was yesterday flooded with pictures of smiling women laughing out loud.   The pictures were posted in response to comments made by Turkey's Deputy Prime Minister   Bülent Arınç who on Monday said that women should not laugh out loud in public. During a speech at an Eid el-Fitr - breaking of the fast - event in the northwestern city of Bursa he also urged them to stop talking about 'unnecessary' things on the phone and said Turks had 'abandoned their values'. Hundreds of women then posted pictures of themselves laughing out loud, and the hashtags #direnkahkaha - resist laughter - and #direnkadin - resist woman - trended on Twitter.

A man identified as Oruma has stabbed his 20-year-old friend in the neck over a N2,000 debt in Benin, Edo State. The victim, identified as Frederick Eze, was reportedly stabbed by Oruma in the Oza area of the state following a fight that broke out when the victim seized one of Oruma’s property for refusing to pay the debt.

The man was taken to hospital in Birmingham after complaining of feeling 'feverish' on a flight back to the Midlands from Nigeria, but was given the all-clear after undergoing tests. It comes as staff at Charing Cross Hospital in London also feared a man in his twenties had contracted the deadly bug this week. Medical staff across the UK remain on high alert for symptoms of the virus, which can go unnoticed for three weeks and kills 90 per cent of victims. Mr Sawyer, a consultant for Liberia’s Finance Ministry, had been in Liberia for the funeral of his sister, who also died from the disease, and was on his way back to his home in the US. The 40-year-old arrived in Lagos, Nigeria, on July 20 and had suffered from vomiting and diarrhoea on two flights. He was put in isolation in hospital and died on Friday.

A doctor who has fought the Ebola virus in Liberia where it infected two American doctors today gave a terrifying insight into how medics put their fears aside and their lives on the line to treat patients in the current outbreak taking a grip in Africa. Doctor Hannah Spencer revealed how she wills herself to feel safe inside a boiling hot air-sealed Hazmat suit - her only barrier between her and catching an invisible killer that kills 90 per cent of those who are infected. She spoke out after two Americans, Dr Kent Brantly, 33, and Nancy Writebol, 60, contracted Ebola and are fighting for their lives to explain the risks, the courage, the physical toll and fear endured by doctors battling to contain the virus from killing more. 'At traditional funerals, it's common for the body to be displayed and for all of the mourners to touch... If someone has died from Ebola, the level of virus in their body is extremely high'                          - Dr Hannah Spencer

By virtue of Section 30(1) of the Matrimonial Causes Act, no proceeding for the dissolution of a marriage may be instituted within two years of the marriage. Adimeru, a go-happy, hippy young man based in Lagos met Anire, a Ghana-trained Human Resources practitioner. They saw one or two times and many things happened in those one or two times. In one of their encounters, it ‘rained’ and they failed to protect themselves. While Adimeru FAILED/REFUSED to use an umbrella or raincoat, Anire failed to wear a ‘cardigan’. She got wet as a result. Trust Adimeru, his thrusts were trustworthy. He went in hard and she happily received his showers of blessing. She promised to ‘cum’ for more. Rather fortunately or unfortunately, she got pregnant.

Her Majesty visited the Tollcross International Swimming Centre on the first day of the Commonwealth Games - but had her view somewhat obscured.  Far from the grins which were employed while watching the hockey, the Queen's expression was a little more strained, as she spent most of her time as a spectator craning her neck for a better view, pictured left and right, over the head of The Hon. Annabel Alice Hoyer Whitehead.  The Queen began to look dejected, as she dodged around her lady-in-waiting so she could see the action.
