Corrections - oops

1) Seems the Tbilisi premier did not go to hospital because he was punched on the nose by the President, but because he has a kidney condition. Went to Germany, then back to Tbilisi into hospital, now he's going back to Germany to check up on the Tbilisi treatment. And he's only 35!  I bet he wishes he were still ambassador to Turkey where the healthcare is probably better.

2) Mr Kubilius, Lithuanian premier, did not resign over the riots and his handling of the economic crisis. Bizarre. I am sure I read a resignation speech in the paper - was it a spoof?  Someone said he'll never resign, he's 'always right'.


3) It seems that Lithuanian airways, or flyLAL, was not sold after all to the Swiss investors; the sale fell through at the last moment, and then the creditors pulled the plug. Hence the closure.
