One of the Russian spies, yesterday

A man suspected of being the 11th member of a US spy ring allegedly working for Russia has been arrested and charged with acting he is still in the 1980s.

Robert Christopher Metsos, 55, was arrested in his 1980s DeLorean at Cyprus’s Larnaca airport as he tried to leave the island for Budapest, having assumed ‘deep cover’ as an American citizen in order to infiltrate the higher echelons of American policy makers, despite the fact that the Cold War has been over for nearly 20 years.

‘We’re all going to die!’ insist scientists as temperatures soar

How we'll all look in a fortnight, according to scientists

Scientists are pointing to soaring summer temperatures across Britain and Ireland in the past week as evidence of a Global Warming crisis that they say will engulf the planet within weeks.

Temperatures in parts of the UK reached in excess of 30 degrees at the weekend, with the hot weather expected to continue into this week, leading experts to the conclusion that that planet is spiralling towards a collision course with disaster.

Germany’s footballers have come under fire after somehow contriving to concede a goal against World Cup minnows England in their 2nd Round match yesterday.

Chancellor Angela Merkel announced that the German team, who won the match 4-1 in Bloemfontein, will be subjected to a full-scale national inquiry after England defender Matthew Upson managed to find the net in the 37th minute.

Epidemic hits the nation ahead of World Cup match

"Doctor, give it to me straight: is Capello going to play Rooney up front, with Gerrard just behind him?"

Doctors have been baffled by a mysterious and very sudden epidemic which seems only to affect people interested in watching England’s final World Cup group game against Slovenia this afternoon.

The disease, labelled ‘Worldcupitis’ by experts, looks set to deprive hundreds of thousands of workers of the opportunity to work while England’s World Cup fate is decided.

Viewers complain after ITV HD misses England goals, talent

England fans watch in vain for signs of a goal deluge on ITV HD

ITV HD has been deluged with viewer complaints after it emerged that not only did they not broadcast any goals during Friday’s World Cup match with Algeria, but they also failed to show any examples of an England player demonstrating any sort of discernable talent.

Instead of showing the expected rout of goals in England’s favour, ITV HD’s pictures instead showed players such as Wayne Rooney, Steven Gerrard and Emile Heskey failing to control the ball, or even make simple passes to their team-mates.

Nation unreasonably optimistic ahead of massive anti-climax

England fans cheer, as the piranhas get to work

The entire nation is in an unreasonably confident mood ahead of the massive anti-climax that will pass for England’s make-or-break World Cup game against Algeria this evening, according to reports.

Adorable

Fears for the safety of the North Korean team at the World Cup have intensified after they were patronised to within an inch of their lives following the 2-1 defeat at the hands of Brazil last night.

The match, which saw the North Koreans eventually succumb to defeat after a sustained rearguard action, also saw a stream of unnecessarily trite platitudes delivered, most notably after the North Koreans had scored.
