    Naked man in taxi-lifting adventure

    A naked man has become famous in China after he stopped traffic on a busy road, then tried to lift a taxi by himself while shouting 'give me strength'




    [img]/img]

    It all began when the nude man stopped the taxi by running out into the street in front of traffic. As the perplexed driver got out of the car to see what was going on, the naked man grabbed the vehicle's bumper and tried - without much success - to lift it off the ground.

    As a crowd of puzzled onlookers gathered to watch the spectacle, the man continued in his efforts to lift the car. Eyewitnesses reported that he would sometimes shout 'please give me strength!' as he struggled with the taxi.

    The bizarre incident took place in Hefei, in Anhui province in eastern China.

    Police eventually arrived, and attempted to detain the man and get him clothed again - at which point the man hid under a police van and refused to come out.

    He was eventually retrieved from under the vehicle by police officers and medical staff.

    Google Street View catches God fixing West Midlands


    Google Street View's roving camera has caught many strange sights in its time - and now it appears to have spotted God doing a bit of a DIY, as a giant pair of celestial pliers are pictured descending from the heavens.


    [img]/img]

    This spot of holy handicraft was captured by the Google Street View car in Cradley Heath, near Dudley in the West Midlands, on the corner of Grainger's Lane and Station Street.

    While at first everything looks normal, if you look up, you'll see an enormous pair of pliers emerging from the clouds. The pliers are also visible again a few streets away on Whitehall Road.

    It is not immediately clear exactly what about Cradley Heath needed fixing so badly that it called for divine intervention, but any residents who have an idea what it could be are welcome to let us know.

    The alternative explanation for the image - that someone was just fixing the camera and got pictured by accident - can be dismissed on the perfectly reasonable grounds that it's boring.

    Nun sues over naked Facebook photos


    A novice nun is suing her ex-boyfriend in Italy after he uploaded pictures of her naked on Facebook.

    The 31-year-old woman who lives in Turin said she was devastated when she saw the pictures, taken in summer 2006 during a holiday in Sicily, on the social networking site.

    The man who said he wanted to stop her becoming a nun has refused to remove the pictures despite the woman's requests.

    Now lawyer Anna Orecchioni has taken action and said: "My client doesn't want money, she only wants that he respects her decision to become a nun."

    Large numbers of Italians meanwhile have logged on to see the pictures leaving comments like: "If all the nuns are like that, I want to become a priest."

  • Comment number 12.

    I got on the bus the other day and picked up the Metro, and one headline stuck out to me..... 'Leprechaun shot dead in field'. I laughed out loud, but what made it even better is that it was about two bank robbers who had been shot, one of whom was dressed as a leprechaun - but despite the fact that A MAN HAD ACTUALLY DIED, the Metro STILL couldn't resist using that headline!! Oddly enough, I couldn't find the actual article with that headline online, but you'll have to trust me that that was exactly what it said! The incident was reported in slightly less ambiguous terms here:

    MPs too lazy to press lift buttons

    Commons to hire a 拢17k elevator attendant
    21/03/2010


    HOW do Britain's lazy MPs get to the top? Employ an official Parliamentary lift attendant!

    Incredibly, our pampered politicians are looking for a hired flunky to actually push the buttons for them in the House of Commons elevator.


    And the fact they'll pay 拢17,277 a year, plus perks, out of taxpayers' money to do it last night sparked an almighty row.


    Still fuming over the expenses scandal, TaxPayers' Alliance boss Matthew Elliott said: "This is absurd, yet another example of how politicians are living in another world.


    "It's just bizarre that those in the House of Commons won't press lift buttons for themselves.

    Worse still, taxpayers will be funding yet another employee in the state sector, with a generous pension and benefits but doing absolutely nothing of value to the public."


    The vital job of commanding a lift up and down just five levels in Parliament is advertised on the Commons careers website - a chance to get in at the ground floor and really go up in the world.


    But the ad lays down strict qualifications. You must be "smart and articulate", have "experience of operating a passenger lift" and get your application in by April 6.

    In return you'll get the 拢17k salary, 28 days' paid holiday, choice of pension schemes, interest-free travel loan, child care vouchers and cut-price gym membership.


    And there's always the chance you could get elevatored to the peerage. For, astonishingly, you'd be part of a FOUR-MAN team operating two of Westminster's lifts - the other one serves four floors in the House of Lords.


    Asked to justify WHY a lift attendant was being employed by the Commons, a spokesman claimed: "Mainly to assist the public."

    "Man who recieved trousers loses appeal."
    "Man fined for barking."

    Hey Good news team!
    Looking forward to the show!
    Thought I'd post this story, It is a youtube link on a gaming related website. The video is about Alan Titchmarsh and two "experts" talking with a man from a gaming magazine about how video game violence is "corrupting children"
    It's absolute rubbish and funny how stupid some people are.



    please have a look, video games get enough bad press!
    Thanks, and good luck with the show!

    Gordon Brown, David Cameron and Nick Clegg to have their own general election biscuits

    By Mirror.co.uk 22/03/2010

    [img]/img]

    With the general election looming Fox鈥檚 have decide to create a very special pack of biscuits - the Party Rings Election Selection.

    The pack will contain red, blue and yellow party rings in celebration of the busy party leaders as they hit the campaign trail over the next few weeks.

    Fox's spokesperson Ciara Whyte said: "We know our politicians love a cuppa with a biscuit and what better way to celebrate the election than with a special Party Rings pack.

    "We considered launching some limited edition biscuits, the Gordon Brownie and the David Cameroon, even the Nick Egg Custard but are now considering the classic Party Ring instead."

    This isn鈥檛 news but it was funny.

    During the last snowstorm (in Basingstoke), I was walking to the car on the way home from school. In front of me were a group of kids having fun with the snow. Coming down the opposite way was a short angry looking woman with her young daughter. Suddenly, unprovoked the angry woman started yelling at the kids in front. "If any one of those snowballs hits my 3 year old daughter then I鈥檓 calling the police." The kids had done nothing wrong!

    Anyway while this was happening, a middle-aged looking dog walker came down the adjacent path connecting to the path that we were on. He had a dog that looked like the Churchill dog's old wrinkly mother in law. This lone dog walker did the most brilliant thing I鈥檝e ever seen! Whilst the angry woman passed the kids, this saint, this God, picked up some snow and pelted the 3 year old in the back of the head. Magnificent! The woman turned around, "which one of you kids did that!?" she cried. "It was the man," they replied. "Who the hell do you think you are? Hitting my 3 year old daughter with snow!" she shirked. The dog started growling, the 3 year old started crying, the kids started laughing, the woman started shouting and I got in my car feeling so happy I mean; after all, the woman did had it coming.

    (BTW I don鈥檛 agree that hitting small children with snow is in any way the right thing to do but... come on? That was funny.)

    Heathrow worker warned over body scanner misuse
    A computer screen showing the results of a full body scan (generic)
    The scanners show clear outlines of passengers' anatomies

    A Heathrow Airport security guard was given a police warning after he was allegedly caught staring at images of a female colleague in a body scanner.

    The 25-year-old worker was quizzed by police over alleged remarks he made to his co-worker after she entered a scanner by mistake.

    The incident took place at Terminal 5 on 10 March.

    It is believed to be the first time an airport worker has been disciplined for abusing a body scanner.

    The scanners show clear outlines of passengers' anatomies.

    They were introduced at Heathrow and Manchester airports to check for concealed weapons and explosives following the failed Christmas Day bomb plot by Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab to blow up a jet over Detroit in the United States.

    'Appropriate training'

    Director of Legal Enforcement and the Equality and Human Rights Commission, Susie Uppal, said the incident highlighted the risks to "privacy and respect for human dignity" that are posed by the use of full body scanners.

    She said: "It is only through appropriate training and monitoring that we can ensure that the risk of breaches of discrimination and human rights laws by those who take and use the scanned images of passengers are minimised.

    "The government has told us very little about what systems are currently in place to ensure that those employed to use the scanners are acting lawfully, with fairness and without discriminating."

    She added that the government needed to take urgent and decisive action to ensure that "incidents of this kind are not repeated".

    A Scotland Yard spokesman said: "Police received an allegation regarding an incident that happened at Heathrow Terminal 5 on March 10.

    "A first instance harassment warning has been issued to a 25-year-old male."

    A gang of Pensioners Kidnap a Financial Advisor

    I work within the financial sector and usually find elderly clients more relaxed and easy to get along with - in genreal very friendly and polite. But after reading this I kind of got worried and also saw the funny side too. But seriously, what's next? Pensioners to form street gangs? Pensioner Asbo Points?
