Bee with a tongue

AN 'uneducated' grandad who started a health business from the kitchen table of his council house has sold his bee company for over £100 million. Steve Ryan, 63, can now afford an island in the Bahamas and a Falcon private jet after selling Bee Health to INW, based in Dallas. When asked by the Mirror how it feels to be a multi-millionaire, the bee boss laughed: "No bloody different." Steve said his obsession with "facinating honeybees" pushed him to start his bee product company in 1992 with his late wife Bea. He refused to disclose the exact figure his company sold for, but said it was enough to buy him his own island and a jet. Steve said he was able to travel abroad to do the deal as the government allows CEOs to go overseas to secure business deals if they are in excess of £100million. He was first introduced to bees while picking sprouts in a previous job. After falling in love with the creatures and the health benefits their products are associated with, … [Read more...] about ‘Uneducated’ grandad, 63, who started bee business from council house kitchen table sells it for £100million

Most of the time the sheer joy of having a puppy is enough to keep you from losing your mind over how much of an utter liability they can be. From tearing your shoes to pieces to quite literally thinking they can walk on water, it's impossible not to forgive them for the over-excitable behaviour. But one puppy is melting hearts on the internet after his owner shared the moment he discovered the perils of trying to eat a bee for the first time. TikTok user @Mathiiiel posted a video captioned: 'My dog thinking about that time he ate a bee and had to be rushed to the vet' showing the tiny black and white pup stretched out on the sofa. It then cuts to the next clip of the dog being held in the vets, showing his cheeks and neck to have ballooned in size to leave him with an almost perfectly round head. Thankfully, the pet made a full recovery with help from the experts and his owner wrote: 'He's shaking his tale so he's fine', showing it wagging furiously even though his … [Read more...] about Puppy’s face swells up to ‘look like an inflated panda’ after he ate a bee

DAVID JAMES donned a mask as he met up with his girlfriend's family for a Lebanese lunch in London. The former goalkeeper, 48, looked relaxed in a bomber jacket and cap as he dined out with his partner - who wore a tongue stud - in South Kensington. But after sharing a bottle of red wine together at Comptoir Libanais, Jamo bizarrely whipped out a mask - similar to a pollution mask - and pulled it over his face. It is not the first time the mask has made an appearance in public, though. He uploaded a snap on Instagram earlier in April as he boarded a flight to India. Wearing his cap and jacket, he wrote: "When the passengers next to you are coughing, a face mask is a must! Next stop, Mumbai and @spnsportsindia coverage of @championsleague @laliga and @seriea" But one witty user quipped in reply: "Why don't u give this mask to the one coughing.... it will be easier." James ended his playing career in India with a spell as player-manager at Kerala Blasters in 2014. … [Read more...] about David James dons mask to meet family of stunning tongue-studded girlfriend over Lebanese lunch
