Tomorrow you'll have an oral examination.

If I ever build another woodshed, it will be 2.4metres long.

Surely you mean 8ft

2.4metres is the description of the wood I am using for the long edges of the shed and the roof. I would happily go back to imperial units just so long as the minister for the 17th Century (or earlier) will demonstrate to me his ability to do long division using Roman numerals.

If I ever build another woodshed, it will be 2.4metres long.

Silvio Berlusconi, the former Italian PM who bounced back from sex scandals and corruption allegations, has died aged 86.

He died at the San Raffaele hospital in Milan, according to Italian media.

In April he was treated for a lung infection linked to a previously undisclosed case of chronic leukaemia.

A flamboyant billionaire media tycoon, Berlusconi first came to office in 1994 and led four governments until 2011.

Virginia Norwood, a founding figure in satellite land imaging who developed technology to scan the surface of the moon for safe landing sites and map our planet from space, died Sunday at age 96.

Norwood is best known for developing the Multispectral Scanner System that flew on the first Landsat satellite, making her the "Mother of Landsat," according to NASA.

Landsat 1, launched in July 1972, was the first satellite to study and monitor Earth's landmasses and operated for nearly six years. The space agency said the "quality and impact of the resulting information exceeded all expectations."
