Berlin’s politicians are fine-tuning a redevelopment plan for a 3.2-acre site around Checkpoint Charlie (above) that includes a cold war museum and apartments
It’s been thirty years since the fall
Of Berlin’s great dividing wall
But its once mighty gate
Is in a sorry state
If you go there it’s bound to appal.

A court has heard a taxi driver ripped off passengers by secretly using a remote control to add €9 to fares
Taxi passengers may get a scare

Was part of a grift
Which strikes me as rather unfair

So on Sunday he quite bravely took
To a varsity stage
And was met with such rage
That he fled and was left feeling shook

And studies have shown
Not to mess with your phone
It seems all these pilots are high

Which won’t be too heavy
But I thought that you might like to know

Facebook’s new logo (above) will begin appearing across its services such as Instagram and Whatsapp
Now Zuckerberg feels a bit shook
By the news so he wants a new look
For his number one line
But the new redesign
Just looks like his Caps Lock is stuck.

The White House has refused to say the US president Donald Trump did not offer the leader of Ukraine a quid pro quo involving military aid and the investigation of his political rivals.
So everyone’s desperate to know
It Trump offered a quid pro quo
The answer is yes
So we’re stuck with this mess
Until it’s time for him to go

An investigation into a hoax Nobel Prize call earlier this month to writer John Banville (above) has revealed it was not made from the offices of the Swedish Academy
It’s a phone call that’s certain to stun
When an author is told they have won
The great Nobel Prize
But quickly realise
Some prankster was just having fun

A city council has asked the New Zealand Transport Agency to eliminate horn blowing in the Mount Victoria Tunnel
In New Zealand police have to warn
Against drivers who blare on their horn
While they drive underground
As it seems that the sound
Is something that cannot be borne
