    In other news Paris Saint Germain signs Roman Abramovich.

    More Shakespeare characters continue to be unearthed leading to speculation about other characters remains.

    The story about only having 217 dollars left is true but....

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-21257765
    Zimbabwe says public account stood at $217 last week

    However, he said that the following day some $30m of revenue had been paid in.



    This is just a parody of that story.

    This is one of the better fake news sites I've seen recently. I actually bought that Zimbabwe story for a while. The Onion never had that effect because it was ridiculously outlandish and more american based. Kudos to them guys

    The ECB should do bets like this!! We'd all be minted again! Bet on guaranteed stuff.

    Like Irelands chances of winning the World Cup in the next 50 years:pac: So when we fcuk up another Celtic Tiger we could be like ah sure jaysus we're not winning the world cup anytime soon, we're loaded :pac:
