Rabbit Thought of the Day

French President Nicolas Sarkozy has threatened to sue a publishing company if it does not withdraw from shops a "voodoo doll" in his image. The doll comes with pins and a manual with instructions on how to put the evil eye on the president.

Users can stick the pins into choice quotes from Mr Sarkozy which are printed on the doll. Mr Sarkozy's lawyer said the president had the "exclusive and absolute rights" over his own image. Publishers K&B have issued 20,000 editions of the kit and have also produced a similar doll of Segolene Royal - Mr Sarkozy's Socialist party rival in the presidential elections last year.

Her lawyer said she is considering legal action, calling the doll an affront to her human dignity. The publisher said Mr Sarkozy's reaction was "totally disproportionate" and has so far refused to pull the doll from shops. The product went on sale on 9 October. The quotes on the Sarkozy doll include "work more to earn more" and "get lost, jerk" - which he reportedly said to a bystander who refused to shake his hand at an event last year.

It is not the first time Mr Sarkozy has resorted to litigation. Last week he sued Yves Bertrand for libel and invasion of privacy after extracts from the former spy chief's diaries were leaked and published. Voodoo has become associated with zombies and sticking pins into dolls to curse an enemy, but practitioners say this misrepresents their religion.

A naked man found wedged in the chimney of a supermarket in Wigan has been arrested on suspicion of burglary. Police officers discovered him trapped in a chimney breast of a Tesco Express store on Ormskirk Road, Pemberton.

Firefighters were called to rescue the man who had become trapped in the chimney as he tried to get out. Police said that because the man was naked he was taken to hospital as a precaution but was treated and discharged before being arrested. A GMP spokeswoman said: "It is believed some his clothes came off as a result of him struggling to get out of the chimney."

A 22-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of burglary and remains in police custody.

I didn’t know it before, but my new position comes with a blackberry and an American Express card. I must be going up in the world. Unfortunately I can’t buy any luxury goods or holidays with the card (shame, I was planning a weekend in Monte Carlo). It can only be used on company business other wise I get in deep poo poo!

I have now agreed with my line manager that I can start early and finish early, this will help me to miss the mad rush out of Harlow. Which is great for me as I am and always have a n early bird.

Tonight I have my flu jab, being an asthmatic it’s very important for me to have this, other wise the consequences could be dire. Then it’s out on bike again, I was out last night to make up for missing Monday. I need to work hard this week to lose the two pounds I put on last week.

Lunch time on the third day, and once again my time has been taken up by reviewing documents not the most interesting job there is going but it certainly makes the time go fast. I have asked to take ownership of a project that has been some what neglected over the last year or some. It involves making modifications to some projects that we have completed in the past.

The client wished some more equipment to be installed above what was initially asked for; this is an additional cost to him and more money for to us. I have to go Aberdeen next week to visit a site and I believe they will be many site visits in the future. I definitely know one is to the Shetland Islands, I’ll be certain to take my camera.
