Elis James' Light-Hearted Paper Review
Elis' selection of humorous stories from this week's newspapers.
How weightlifters can avoid haemorrhoids. Varicose veins myths busted. How often to clean things like handbags, pants and lightbulbs, and when to boil your toothbrush. An unusual way to work out what size socks, trousers or shirt collar you need.
