Kim Jong-Un and Donald Trump kicked out of Winter Olympics opening ceremony – kind of

Perhaps the most showy appearance at the Seoul WInter Olympics opening ceremony was that of the North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un, accompanied by the President of the United States Donald Trump.   https://twitter.com/adore13/status/961928829554999296 Or rather an Australian Kim Jong-Un impersonator called Howard and an American Donald Trump lookalike called Dennis Alan.

Golf and good grub at Aphrodite Hills Resort, Cyprus

"You're staying at the Aphrodite?!" my girlfriend's step-mum shrieks, when I tell her we're off to Cyprus for a few days. According to her, it's the best hotel on the island. My old man's reaction is similar (less shrieking, more bitterness). Cyprus is where he took up golf - probably to get some rest bite from three raucous kids - when we lived there in the 90s. Back then, he played on what he describes as 'browns' - essentially dusty, muddy...
