Top 5 best jokes of 1st April 2017


1. Trump buys Irish high-rise

If you believe the Irish Times, Dublin is to get its very own "Trump Tower". "Trump Dublin is expected to be completed by the end of 2018," it exclusively revealed.
Extra credit should go to whoever completed the joke with a fake tweet from Donald Trump: "Bought a small tower in Dublin, Ireland. We are going to build an awesome hotel in Dublin. It will be totally great. Love Ireland! Great country! trumpdublin".

2. Russian hackers on demand

Inspired by claims that Kremlin-sponsored hackers tried to rig the US election, Russia's foreign ministry shared "a new answering machine for Russian diplomatic missions abroad" on Facebook.
"To arrange a call from a Russian diplomat to your political opponent, press 1," the fake switchboard message suggests. Your other options? "Press 2 to use the services of Russian hackers", or 3 "to request election interference."


3. Germany to go GMT

The scamps at the UK's German embassy tweeted that Germans would shortly vote to "leave, or remain in" Central European Time (CET). "A replica of the Shepherd Gate Clock in Greenwich would be placed atop the World Time Clock in Alexanderplatz, Berlin, in a frivolous symbolic gesture," the writer deadpanned.
The clues were there for linguists, however - the surname of the "government spokesperson" quoted - Frau Sommerzeit - translates as "Summertime".


4. Triple-decker plane

Emirates airline almost had us going with the claim that it's planning to unveil a triple-decker plane. Why? Time zones. The UAE gets to 1 April before the UK and without that all-important date-stamp... could it possibly - somehow - be true?
No, is the answer. The Dubai-based carrier has not designed a plane including "a swimming pool, games room, gym & park". Our sympathies to the 6,800 excited people who re-tweeted that...


5. Canine cabin crew

Meanwhile in the Antipodes... Virgin Australia will be the first airline in the world to employ dogs as cabin staff, the company announced on Twitter.
While less useful in an emergency, these little guys might have been a loveable distraction at 40,000ft.

Samsung Galaxy S8 review

By
The revolutionary design of the Galaxy S8 and S8+ begins from the inside out. We rethought every part of the phone's layout to break through the confines of the smartphone screen. So all you see is pure content and no bezel. It's the biggest, most immersive screen on a Galaxy smartphone of this size. And it's easy to hold in one hand Faster, even in rain You never really stop using your phone. That's why Galaxy S8 and S8+ are driven by the World's first 10nm processor. It's fast, powerful and increases battery efficiency. What's more, with IP68**, you can even work through rain or dust. If that's not enough, with external storage, you will never run out of space. **IP68 rating (Dust and Water Resistant) means that the device is protected against entry of solid foreign objects, and harmful ingress of static water at up to 1.5m, for up to 30 minutes, under certain defined test conditions. According to accredited test results; individual results may va...
