Nothing says I love you like yeast and vegetable extracts

Say I love you with Champagne Marmite

Marmite with a hint of champagne is hitting stores as a romantic gift. The savory spread contains 0.3% champagne along with its usual ingredients of yeast and vegetable extracts plus salt. Just 600,000 limited edition jars of the 'Lovers' Marmite' are going on sale ahead of Valentine's Day.

Their gold-colored label says "I love you" and "for my lovely Marmite lover." The Marmite with a touch of champagne will be priced at £2.99 for a 250g pot. It has initially gone on sale at Selfridges stores for £3.99 and will launch more widely from January 21. The retailer's director of food and restaurants Ewan Venters said: "We are delighted to be introducing a perfect partnership this Valentine's Day, uniting the sophistication of champagne with the quintessentially British classic taste of Marmite. Whether you love it or hate it, we are billing Lovers' Marmite to be one of this year's most popular gifts."

Multi-tasking cyclists beware.

Japan is planning new measures to discourage some of the more outlandish but popular saddle habits, including "triple riding" (balancing children on the frame), listening to portable music players or using an umbrella while on the move. In the first changes to cycling rules for almost 30 years, warnings will be issued to cyclists who listen to music players or chat on mobile phones. Offenders face a fine of 20,000 yen (£93) from this spring if they are caught triple riding - a balancing act usually involving an adult and two small children spaced out along the length of the bicycle.The constant ringing of bicycle bells on footpaths will be discouraged, as will the most disturbing trend among teen cyclists: texting while pedalling. The new measures, recommended by a police advisory panel, are designed to halt the rise in accidents involving bicycles. The national police agency reported 4,020 such mishaps last year, a sevenfold increase over the past decade.

Dog retrieves his best friend - a cat buried in the garden

A pet dog missed the family’s dead cat so much that he dug up his grave and brought the body back into the house. When Oscar’s owners woke up the next morning they discovered the dog curled up beside Arthur, the late cat, in his basket. His owners, Robert Bell, 73, and his wife, Mavis, of Wigan, Greater Manchester, believe that the dog had licked the cat clean before falling asleep. Mr Bell said that the two pets were constant companions. Arthur, who was a large cat, used to help Oscar to climb on to the sofa.

Oscar, an 18-month-old Lancashire Heeler, had watched Mr Bell dig a grave in the garden and then lower the cat into the hole. Mr Bell said: “He had managed to climb out through the cat flap in the night, obviously with the intent to get Arthur back. Bearing in mind that Arthur was a huge cat, Oscar must have used all the strength he could muster. “Then he pulled him into the basket and went to sleep next to him. Arthur’s coat was gleaming white. Oscar had obviously licked him clean. It must have taken him nearly all night.” Arthur is now reburied in a secure grave. And Oscar has a new playmate, a kitten called Limpet.
