Ten things to make us smile this week

in10 magazine brings us the best of the week

Cooking confession Making puff pastry from scratch is such a chore that Great British Bake Off star Mary Berry admits that even she and Paul Hollywood opt for the ready-made version. Phew! If it’s sauce for the goose . . .

Com-bru-ter A computer has been created with a cooling system based on Irn Bru. And it’s been dubbed the Aye-Mac. Sadly, the coolant isn’t actual Irn Bru it just looks like it. Coming next, a haggis-powered TV and a mobile phone that charges up from a Tunnocks Teacake.

Better late Just when we thought summer was over (or hadn’t even started) we get glorious September sun. We don’t care what time of year summer happens as long as it comes along eventually. Festive fire Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service was called to a house last week . . . after a Christmas pudding caught fire in a microwave! They say Christmas comes earlier every year, but this is flaming ridiculous.

A-peel-ing Chemicals found in the peel ofapples and green tomatoes can turn elderly people’s muscles into those of a young adult after just two months of treatment, according to scientists. You know what they say an apple a day keeps the plastic surgeon at bay.

Double whammy Two golfers sank a hole-in-one on the same hole. Bookmakers said the odds of two amateurs scoring aces at the same hole were 25 million to one. Sounds like they should be buying as many lottery tickets as they can this week!

Sleep tight A 17-year-old schoolboy from California decided to collect colourful bed sheets for children in foster care and in under two months he’d gathered $3,600 worth of bedding. It’s kindness like that which really does lead to sweet dreams.

Great white fight Dozens of people came together to try to rescue a 14-foot great white shark that washed up on a beach in the States. A wonderful gesture but it wouldn’t make a very good alternative ending to Jaws.

Cheese wheeze One of our colleagues brought in some black cheese for us to sample. Sounds disgusting, looks worse tastes great! Who knew? They care Sunday was National Dementia Carers Day. If you know someone who fits the bill, why not tell them what a great job they’re doing? They deserve even the smallest boost.
