World’s Oldest Twins

funny, news, Oldest, sisters, Twins, World 3:20:00 AM

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><img alt="world's oldest twins" class="img2" height="311" src="http://www.funnymos.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/oldest-twins-small.jpg" title="oldest-twins" width="200" /><strong>Twins Ena and Lily declared the oldest in the world after celebrating their 102nd birthday together</strong><br />
Two sisters celebrated their 102nd birthday today as officially the  oldest twins in the world – and were determined to spend it together.<br />
Ena Pugh and Lily Millward, who were born on 4 January 1910, have always shared their big day with each other.<br />
Lily was yesterday laid up in hospital with a broken hip –  nevertheless, she had one special visitor when her twin Ena called to  wish her happy birthday.<br />
<span id="more-607"></span><br />
<img alt="oldest twins" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-609" height="622" src="http://www.funnymos.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/oldest-twins.jpg" title="oldest-twins" width="400" /><br />
<strong>Family life: Sisters Ena Pugh, right, and Lily Millward have  celebrated their 102nd birthday today, making them the world’s oldest  twins. They still talk on the phone every day</strong><br />
<img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-610" height="260" src="http://www.funnymos.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/twins-first-world-war.jpg" title="twins-first-world-war" width="400" /><br />
<strong>Lily, front left, and Ena, front right, pictured as toddlers before the beginning of the First World War</strong><br />
The pair were given 102nd birthday presents of copies of the Guinness  World Records book by their family so they could see their own entry.<br />
Lily’s proud daughter Dianne Powell, 65, told Wales News Service: ‘My  mum’s recovering in hospital after she slipped and fell just before  Christmas. But she’s in good spirits and enjoying the attention of being  one of the world’s oldest twins.<br />
‘Ena pops in to see her in hospital when she can – they are very  close. And despite the terrible weather she made a special effort to get  together on their birthday.’<br />
Farmer’s daughters Ena and Lily were born before the outbreak of the  First World War when Queen Victoria’s son Edward VII was king.<br />
The pair, who still live in their own houses near Brecon in the Welsh  countryside, meet up for weekly shopping sessions and chat on the  telephone virtually every night.<br />
Great-grandmother Lily revealed the secret of their long life is ‘laughter and having a joke with each other.’<br />
‘We used to work on the farm all day, but we would enjoy ourselves,’  she said. ‘It was a lot of fun and sociable. We’ve been very lucky and  we have always had good health.’<br />
Their family had no idea Ena and Lily were the oldest twins in the  world until a pair in France claimed the record. But checks showed Ena  and Lily were more than three years older.<br />
Mrs Powell said: ‘They have been very close all their lives and they are still very close now.<br />
‘Until my mum’s accident they would jump on a bus on their own every  Friday so they can go shopping together and have a chat over a cup of  tea.<br />
‘And they ring each other almost every evening although they are both  very hard of hearing – they can’t really always know what the other is  saying but just enjoy talking to each other.’<br />
Ena was born first, with Lily a few minutes later, on a chilly day in  January 1910 in their family farm cottage in the tiny village of  Garthbrengy, near Brecon in mid-Wales.<br />
Their parents, Charles and Laura Thomas, had ten children – including twin brothers – but Ena and Lily are the only survivors.<br />
Ena married railwayman Ivor who died more than 20 years ago. She  still lives in her country cottage where she raised their three children  – and now has ten grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.<br />
Lily lives in a smallholding and has been a widow for nearly 20 years  after the death of husband Evan, a former timber merchant. She had two  children, five grand-children and nine-great grandchildren.<br />
Both of the twins shun some of the luxuries of modern life – neither has central heating in their home.<br />
The sisters live just a dozen miles away from each other in the fresh  air of the Welsh countryside – Ena at Erwood, near Builth Wells, and  Lily still in her home village of Garthbrengy, near Brecon, but in a  different house.<br />
The pair believe the last time they were separated on their birthday was due to illness when they were both 79.<br />
So they were determined to see each other for their big day  yesterday. The sisters spent half an hour together at Lily’s bedside in  Nevill Hall Hospital, Abergavenny, where they each had a slice of  birthday cake.<br />
Mrs Powell said: ‘They took great delight at seeing their picture in  the Guinness Book of Records – they are both very proud of their title.’<br />

World’s Most Expensive Golf Course

Golf, Golf Course, Most Expensive, sports, World 4:50:00 AM

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Dutch Docklands, a player in the world of floating technologies, (or  making land where there was no land), has announced plans to build a  $500 million floating golf course off the Maldives coast. While there  are plenty of golf courses that claim to be “on” the water, this one  would quite literally be atop the Indian Ocean.<br />
<a href="http://todayspice.blogspot.in/worlds-most-expensive-golf-course.html"><img alt="golf course" class="img2" height="280" src="http://www.funnymos.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/golf-course-5-300x210.jpg" title="golf course" width="400" /></a>The  concept is a series of man-made islands with one or more holes on each,  linked by transparent undersea tunnels. Golfers walk or ride through  these submerged pathways, taking in the seafloor sights while pondering  which iron to use next. And the clubhouse? You’ll have to take an  elevator to the sea bottom to get to it. At half a billion dollars, it  will be by far the most expensive golf course ever built.<br />
More pictures below.<span id="more-561"></span><br />
The floating golf mecca, which is scheduled to be open for play in  2013, will be run by industry leader Troon Golf, the gold standard of  international high-end golf course and club management. The  yet-to-be-named project is part of a larger government-approved  development which will include 200 villas and about 45 private islands  off the Maldives coast.<br />
In historic terms, our understanding of golf excess first shifted in  1990, when the Las Vegas wunderkind Steve Wynn built mega-course Shadow  Creek. To say no expense was spared in construction is a gross  understatement. It is said Wynn gave architect Tom Fazio a blank check  and a blank desert canvas. Serious earth moving on the 320-acre site  boosted the elevation from less than six feet to more than 213 feet.  Nearly 21,000 fully mature trees, mostly pines and cottonwoods, were  transplanted. While no numbers were released, the best guess in the  business is that Shadow Creek cost about $40 million to build, then the  most expensive course in history. That’s about $70 million today or less  than one-seventh of the proposed Maldives course cost.<br />
These days the title of most expensive golf course on earth belongs  to one of two New Jersey neighbors (private clubs do not have to release  cost reports). The number $250 million has been tossed around for  valuations of Liberty National, the pet project of Reebok founder Paul  Fireman. The ultra-exclusive course is known for its granite walking  bridges and $500,000 joining free. Nearby Bayonne Golf Club has merely  been rumored to have cost in the $150 million-plus range, mainly due to a  huge undersea dredging project required as part of the permitting. If  the new Dutch Docklands project comes to fruition – even on budget –  these bragging rights will have to move halfway around the world.<br />
