Is the END for MR. BEAN

It looks like Mr. Bean fans may soon have to indulge their love of
hijinks, pratfalls and shenanigans elsewhere, as Rowan Atkinson has
announced that the time to retire the comedy character is nigh.

It's somewhat ironic that, for Atkinson, playing a role that brings a
smile to so many faces has actually become "a little sad."

"The stuff that has been most commercially successful for me —-
basically quite physical, quite childish —- I increasingly feel I'm
going to do a lot less of," he told the Daily Telegraph's Review.
"Apart from the fact that your physical ability starts to decline, I
also think someone in their 50s being childlike becomes a little sad.
You've got to be careful."

Mr. Bean, a character whom Atkinson developed while studying for his
master's degree at Oxford University, made his debut in the eponymous
television series that ran for 14 episodes from 1990-1995. He was also
the star of his own animated series that ran from 2002-2004 and two
feature films, "Bean" (1997) and "Mr Bean's Holiday" (2007).

Ronaldo deserves to win the Ballon D’Or....Is almost impossible to stop-ROBERTO MANCINI

The Portuguese superstar returns to Manchester on Wednesday for the
first time since leaving United three years ago as Real Madrid head
for the Etihad Stadium.

Real are on the cusp of qualifying for the knockout phase and anything
other than a City win will see Mancini's side go out in the group
stage for the second successive year.

And Mancini admits that Ronaldo – who he tips to win the Ballon D'Or –
is almost impossible to stop.

"How do we stop him? Maybe we'll call the police," joked the City boss.

"He's a top player and, when you come up against someone who can score
one or two goals every game, it is difficult. We will need to
concentrate.

"For me Ronaldo deserves to win the Ballon D'Or. He scored so many
goals last year and that helped Madrid finish above Barcelona.

"But I hope he can have a bad night on Wednesday. Maybe they can leave
him at home."

Mancini insists that Madrid and Ronaldo will not take City lightly,
despite their struggles in Europe.

"For him it will be a big night – but it's also an important game for
Madrid. They still have a chance of going through to the second
stage," he said.

"Players like Ronaldo and Messi are difficult to mark. You can do good
work but they are still players who can score in every game. That's
why they are the best players in the world."

Mancini believes City's disappointing Champions League campaign can be
traced back to the final minutes of their opening game in Madrid when,
with six minutes to go, they allowed a 2-1 lead to slip as they went
down 3-2.

Mancini said: "If we had come back from the Bernabeu with a good
result it would probably have changed this group for us.

"When you are 2-1 up with four minutes to go, you should be very
strong to close the game."

Paris Hilton Causes Religious War And 'Insults Mecca' By Opening Store In The Holy City

Paris Hilton is no stranger to controversy and scandal, but now the
socialite has managed to upset an entire religion!

The hotel heiress best known for sex tapes, flesh-baring skimpy
outfits and brushes with the law has sparked outrage in the Middle
East by opening a new shop in the Saudi Arabian Holy City of Mecca.

Hilton made the announcement on November 14 that her bag and accessory
collections were to be sold there, tweeting: "Loving my beautiful new
store that just opened at Mecca Mall in Saudi Arabia!"

The Twitter message quickly sparked an angry backlash complaining
about 31-year-old Paris pimping her products in the holy land, with a
slew of messages from Saudis voicing their disgust at the business
venture.

"Wahhabis at work! Historic religious sites in Medina are being
destroyed, while Paris Hilton opens a new store in Mecca mall," wrote
one critic, while another commented: "So Paris Hilton opened a handbag
store in MECCA? The world is a corrupt place at the moment. Someone
please send me to Mars."

The shopping center, also referred to as Makkah Mall, will be Hilton's
5th store in Saudi Arabia and her 42nd world wide. Paris managed to
insult the whole gay community in September by going on a homophobic
rant in a New York City taxi cab.

UNIVERSITY OF ABUJA shut down due to STUDENTS protests over the non-ACCREDITATION of some courses

For the second time this year, authorities of the University of Abuja
have shut down the institution following students' protest. Despite
the fact that second semester examination was already underway, the
students' protest which led to major roads and huge traffic congestion
resulted in the institution being shut down.

According to Sahara Reporters, the students went on a rampage to
protest the non-accreditation of some of their courses. The
accreditation panel of the National University Commission had recently
refused to certify some of the courses being run by the university.
Some of the courses are in the Faculty of Engineering, Agriculture and
Sciences.

The protest, which commenced at 6:00 AM, was started by students from
the Faculty of Engineering. Many students soon joined in blocking the
main gate of the school to protest harsh conditions of education and
general mismanagement of the university by officials the students
regard as incompetent and irresponsible.

Some students said the university is in poor condition as inhabitants
of the girls hostel lack of water supply which forces them to fetch
water from the boys hostel. Student leaders of the protest said the
school is also bedeviled with over populated classes, cancelled
lectures, lack of library facilities and lecture halls as well as the
refusal of the school authorities to allow for independent student
union elections.

The protests quickly spread as several students took to the street
just as some of their colleagues began sitting for their first
semester examinations, which ought to start on Monday. The protest led
to the cancellation of examination in various classes slated for the
day as lecturers and invigilators abandoned the two campuses to
safety.

It would be recalled that in April, the management of the institution
closed the University after a violent protest by students resulted in
a breakdown of law and order in the school community.

The students had protested the suspension of four courses offered by
the University - Medicine, Veterinary medicine, Engineering and
Agriculture which failed to get accreditation from the NUC.

It is hoped that the relevant authorities would look into the cause of
protests and find a lasting solution soon. It is bad enough that the
students were so disturbed by the non-accreditation of their courses
and poor standards of education that they had to take their protests
to the streets. Shutting down the University would only result in
wasting useful time and unnecessarily prolong the students stay at the
University.
