The British Secret Service, MI6, has just reported (no, it wasn't sexed up) that the office of The Daily Star has gone underwater. Oh dear! At this time of the year in Bangladesh, heavy rain is not unexpected. But I didn't think it will become that shameless. Lets hope that all DS staff know how to swim. Watch out for sharks and crocodiles. But my main concern is with those old computers in your office. Please do your best to protect them because without them we will all be stuck here without any news. I don't think they will work underwater, but you could always test them out by pouring a bottle of water on one of them! As for a long term solution, I am sure Mr Bill Gates is already working on computers that will work underwater. Besides, with all the global warming and raising water level, it is only sensible that Mr Gates boldly takes his business where no business has gone before: underwater!

But look on the bright side, guys. The rain provides you free water for bathing, drinking, sanitation and even a good cup of tea. Back here, we have to pay all kind of bills: council tax bill, income tax, national insurance, road tax, car insurance, gas bill, electricity bill, phone bill, mobile phone bill, water bill, rent, mortgage, life insurance, pension and so on. The only thing that is still free is the air, but we aren't holding our breath. Blair mamuji has been telling us for the last seven years that he hasn't got any reverse gear, and who knows, one day he might turn around and say sorry guys, but I don't have any exhaust either. Which means the British public will have to pay for the air they breath. Oxygen tax?

Anyway, here in UK, it is all sunny, shiny and hot. So why don't you guys join me for an ice cream? Oh you must be getting jealous now.
