BBC NEWS | Business | Bitter harvest for Vietnam coffee farmers (#)
„London coffee futures jumped by 5%, hitting a two-year high of $743 a tonne. But it will take a more sustained rally to bail out Vietnam's economy, which has suffered from its growing reliance on the crop. The country earned some $260m from coffee in 2001-02, just over one-third as much as it brought in four years earlier.“

"We need a lot more research into the differences between the genders when it comes to pain. "It may be that painkillers need to be tailored differently to the sexes to ensure they are as effective as possible." Caffeine is already included as an ingredient in some painkilling tablets - but only in relatively small doses.“

UK special forces have played an active role in the Afghan campaign Expresso said neither the author of the notes nor the time they were written were known, nor was it known whether the document was "simply a hypothetical exercise".

„I ask for good reason. I'm sitting writing this column on my new, highly accessible, pocket PC, in a coffee bar on the ground floor of a well-known hospital in London. I'm here for a regular blood test. Annoyingly it has gone rather badly and they've had to give me a different kind of test, the results of which are not due for a couple of hours.“
