Toying with shortage
"Steady Ted has disappeared from our sign by Alexandra Park in Greenlane Rd," writes Vicki. "He was last seen wearing his high-viz and had a good strong safety harness. We know there is a shortage of construction workers but this is ridiculous."
Divorce China-style
Getting a divorce is never easy, but it is particularly difficult at a court in China where a magistrate makes the husband and wife take an exam, which they must fail before their divorce is approved. The Sichuan Province judge had noticed divorce cases were taking a lot of court time. He wanted couples to think twice before ending their marriage, and give them an opportunity to reminisce about the good times they had together. He came up with a series of questions the couple must answer separately. If they score under 60, he approves their divorce application. If not, the couple have to keep working on their marriage, whether they like it or not. The written exam includes questions such as family members' birthdays, favourite foods, anniversaries, and in-depth ones like, "What did you do right/wrong in the relationship?" and "What is marriage and family to you?".
