What a bloody good idea.
The organisers of the upcoming
Untold Music Festival in Romania
have teamed with the eastern
European nation’s National
Insitute for Blood Transfusion to
provide tickets to the event in
exchange for blood donations.
Campaign flyers promoting the
event remind patrons that “Not
only vampires need blood”.
It’s a highly appropriate
promotion given that the festival
- to be headlined by DJs David
Guetta and Avicii - will take place
in the Transylvanian city of Cluj,
definitely Dracula territory.
As many as 500 people have
so far “paid with blood” for their
tickets, the organisers said.
A new Zealander with a
prodigious memory has been
crowned as the best French
Scrabble player, despite barely
being able to speak a word of the
language.
Nigel Richards, who’s also
a three times English world
champion Scrabble player, won
the Belgium tournament after
learning the French dictionary in
the space of nine weeks.
Yves Brenez, vice president of
the Belgian Scrabble Federation,
described Richards as a “Scrabble
war machine...to him words are
just combinations of letters”.
Richards, who lives in Malaysia,
also recently won the King’s Cup
in Thailand, one of the world’s
richest Scrabble competitions.
