Come birthday time, she BETTER get him a Nintendo 64, and a tamagachi!

Oh, wait, sorry. I was thinking of what I wanted when I was 13.

What do teenage boys like these days, besides boobs?

    The boy's 47-year-old mother, her other son, 12, and daughter, eight, were located at around 20:30 by a rescue helicopter clinging to a paddleboard about 14km offshore.

    FFS BBC, did nobody proof read this?

    Something like:

    'The boy's 47-year-old mother, her other son, 12, and daughter, eight, were located at around 20:30 by a rescue helicopter. They were found clinging to a paddleboard about 14km offshore.'

    The way they've put it, it sounds like the rescue helicopter was clinging to a paddleboard when it found them!
