    That was a close one...er, two...

    Japan has certified a man aged 93 as the only known survivor of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, both hit by atomic bombs towards the end of World War II.

    Tsutomu Yamaguchi was in Hiroshima on a business trip on 6 August 1945 when a US plane dropped the first atomic bomb.

    He suffered serious burns and spent a night there before returning to his home city of Nagasaki just before it was bombed on 9 August.

            Maybe it isn’t luck or fate. Maybe he’s just ‘ard. Really ‘ard.

              To have one atomic bomb drop on your head is unfortunate, to have two drop on your head just looks careless.

                  This is an outlook that contributes in no small part to the death toll on Indian roads.

                    That, and the exacting standards of the Indian driving test, which amounts to completing two u-turns without hitting any cows.
