The 100million bubbles in a normal bottle release chemicals that make every glass an uplifting experience, a French study has shown. Many of the aerosols are organoleptic meaning they excite the senses through taste, odour, colour or touch, according to the study. A COUPLE have to sell their home after losing a battle against a 500- year-old law making them liable for 250,000 of repairs to a church where Shakespeares parents married. Andrew and Gail Wallbank inherited Glebe Farm in 1990. But St John the Baptist Church gave the farm in Warwickshire, UK, its 1.1hectares of land in the 16th century. brendan lucky to escape but Donal gets the chopBY ROSS McDONAGH Youre fired: Donal Proctor BReNDAN was lucky to avoid the boardroom in last nights edition of The Apprentice, according to recruitment specialist David Bloch. Although Donal Proctor became the latest to bite the bullet on the TV3 programme, it was only be- cause Brendan Moore wasnt up for the chop. Mr Bloch, managing director of Brightwater Re- cruitment and member of the Youre Fired after- show panel, said it was stephen Higgins cunning choice of boardroom accompaniment which saved Brendans skin. I would have liked to have seen Brendan in the boardroom as some of the poor choices in the cam- paign have been primarily down to him, but stephen has cannily put forward someone who would have fought him for top billing, said Mr Bloch. This weeks task saw the boys C Chulainn team and girls Platinum team compete to create the best outdoor advertising campaign for samsungs new mobile phone, the samsung Jet. C Chulainn is still showing off their inability to work as a team. The boys just dont seem to have grasped the brief properly or be able to work to- gether without displaying alpha male tendencies, said Mr Bloch. For the second week running, Jackie lavin re- mained the only female in the boardroom post- mortem, as losing team leader stephen brought back the familiar duo of Breffny Morgan and Donal to face the music. Mr Bloch added: After some heated naming and blaming, Bill points his firing finger to- wards Donal, cuing some spectacular eye-rolls which wouldnt look out of place on a tantrum- throwing four-year-old. It makes for great TV. index.html2.html3.html4.html5.html6.html7.html8.html9.html10.html11.html12.html13.html14.html15.html16.html17.html18.html19.html20.html21.html22.html23.html
