brit-gob 9 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Leroy Luetscher was working in his back garden when he dropped a pair of pruning shears, which landed point-side down in the ground. A pair of pruning shears embedded in the head of Leroy Luetscher When Luetscher went to pick them up, he lost his balance and fell face-down on the handle. The handle penetrated his eye socket and went down into his neck, resting on the external carotid artery. Half the shears were left in his head, while the other half was sticking out. An X-ray of Mr Luetscher's head showed the severity of the injury. "You wouldn't believe your eyes," said doctor Julie Wynne. Mr Luetscher was rushed to the hospital, where surgeons removed the shears and rebuilt his orbital floor with metal mesh, saving his eye. Doctors say Mr Luetscher still has slight swelling in his eyelids and minor double vision but has otherwise recovered. He has thanked the doctors at the University Medical Center for their remarkable work. "I am so grateful to the doctors and staff at UMC," he said. Link to post Share on other sites

kkk 7 Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Canadian radio stations can resume playing Dire Straits' Money For Nothing after a ban on the song was lifted. The 1985 hit single was taken off the airwaves in January after a listener in Newfoundland complained about Mark Knopfler's use of the word "faggot". His lyrics were deemed to be in a breach of a human rights clause in Canada's broadcasting code. Now the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council has overturned the ruling, saying the word was used satirically. Link to post Share on other sites

big-will 7 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Quote: A LONG-HAUL passenger sat with her boyfriend's body for more than nine hours after he choked to death on an in-flight meal. Robert Rippingale died after a piece of beef became lodged in his throat on the jet to New Zealand. Devastated girlfriend Vanessa Preechakul, 27, said she initially mistook his shaking for laughter. She said: "At first I thought he was laughing very hard at the in-flight movie. Then I looked at his face and his eyes were rolling and he couldn't talk. "His lips were turning purple. One minute we were sitting next to each other kissing, holding hands and the next minute he was choking." A doctor and two nurses on the Jetstar Airlines flight from Singapore to Auckland battled to save the 31-year-old New Zealander but he was pronounced dead 90 minutes into the 11-hour journey Link to post Share on other sites

brit-gob 9 Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Quote: Frenchman ordered to pay wife damages for lack of sex A Frenchman has been ordered to pay his ex-wife £8,500 in damages for failing to have enough sex with her during their marriage. The 51-year-old man was fined under article 215 of France’s civil code, which states married couples must agree to a “shared communal lifeâ€. A judge has now ruled that this law implies that “sexual relations must form part of a marriageâ€. The rare legal decision came after the wife filed for divorce two years ago, blaming the break-up on her husband’s lack of activity in the bedroom. A judge in Nice, southern France, then granted the divorce and ruled the husband named only as Jean-Louis B. was solely responsible for the split. But the 47-year-old ex-wife then took him back to court demanding 10,000 euros in compensation for “lack of sex over 21 years of marriageâ€. The ex-husband claimed “tiredness and health problems†had prevented him from being more attentive between the sheets. But a judge in the south of France’s highest court in Aix-en-Provence ruled: “A sexual relationship between husband and wife is the expression of affection they have for each other, and in this case it was absent. “By getting married, couples agree to sharing their life and this clearly implies they will have sex with each other.†Link to post Share on other sites

Little Aleksandr, just 4½ weeks old, was booted out of his clan after he was born from an illicit fling involving the group's "nanny" figure. Now so many visitors are flocking to see the super-cute critter that bosses at Devon's Exmoor Zoo have employed a full-time worker to supervise the crowds. And zookeepers reckon he could become as big a star as his namesake in TV's Compare the Market insurance ads. Meerkat minder Tina Rowtcliff, 22, said: "In Meerkat society you have a mum and a nanny character, who looks after the kids. "The nanny is not supposed to fall pregnant so, if it happens, it is because of an illicit affair. This occurred in Aleksandr's clan and he was the result. Awwwwwww. Link to post Share on other sites
