Mayor bans excuses
A Russian mayor has banned his staff from making excuses for not doing their jobs.
Alexander Kuzmin, mayor of Megion in Siberia, said officials must stop using phrases such as "I don't know" and "it's lunch time".
Mr Kuzmin said city officials should help improve people's lives and solve their problems, not make excuses.
The list of 27 forbidden phrases includes "there's no money", "we're having lunch", "the working day is over", "somebody else has the do ents" and "I think I was off sick at the time".
Mr Kuzmin warned in a statement that "the use of these expressions by city administration officials while speaking to the head of the city will speed their departure".
He said he was taking action as he was tired of civil servants telling him that problems were impossible to solve, rather than offering practical solutions.

Why isn't this movie on anymore? I haven't seen it in years.
It's on every time I pop in the DVD.
I don't buy DVDs.
T.O.R.R.E.N.T.
African or European?
I don't know.
I don't own any CDs either.
I guess I'm not much of a "collection" guy.
And the number of the counting shall be three...
Now that is odd.
All your music is vinyl and tape analog?
This is insane to me.
Hey, wait a minute, you're not my dad, are you?
I've probably only bought twenty records/cassettes/CDs in my life.
I never got into buying music until I bought my iPod a few years back.
Well... I tend to buy too much of everything.
Ah, I see. Well, then, you actually are probably 5-10 years ahead of all the rest of us.
The "album" as hard media will probably go nearly extinct.
