Psychics Do Make a Living!
February 13, 2008
If you thought being a psychic doesn’t pay off anymore, think again. At least the British ones still have a shot at it! British authorities paid a psychic to exorcise what seemed to be poltergeist from state housing. This action came after the occupants said otherwise they would leave and become homeless.
They tried and they tried but the family living there just wouldn’t stay. Easington Council in County Durham said their
decision seemed justified. They paid half of the120 pound ($235) fee instead of an emergency housing they would eventually need.
The ghost story begins here. The Fallon family told reporters they heard banging from the loft, had objects flying across rooms and hearddoors slammed in their faces. They called police, who found nothing. Then they called in psychic Suzanne Hadwin and asked the council to help pay.
“This is the first time we have had to take such a measure,” a council spokeswoman said. “However, the tenants were extremely distressed at the time and we therefore believed it was the most appropriate course of action.”
The process was extremely complex. The psychic made use of her Russian spirit guide, calling her angels to get rid of evil, which she said was linked to the murder of a woman in the house years earlier.

Nudist Holiday, Tickets Up for Grabs
January 29, 2008
If you’re a nudist and haven’t got the chance to practice this, let’s say, hobby, here is your chance. With the offer from an eastern German travel firm, you start by stripping off on the plane.
“It’s expensive, I know,” managing director Enrico Hess told Reuters by phone. “It’s because the plane’s very small. There’s no real reason why a flight in which one flies naked should be more expensive than any other.”
Travel agency OssiUrlaub.de already started bookings from Friday for a trial nudist day trip from the eastern German town of Erfurt to the popular Baltic Sea resort of Usedom, planned for July 5 and costing 499 euros ($735).
Clothes stay off until the passengers board and dress before getting off. The crew will also remain clothed throughout the flight for safety reasons.
“I wish I could say we thought of it ourselves but the idea came from a customer,” Hess told Reuters by phone. “It’s an unusual gap in the market.”
“There are FKK hotels where you can go into the restaurants and shops naked, for example,” Hess said. “For FKK fans — not that I’m one of them — it’s nothing unusual.”
“I don’t want people to get the wrong idea. It’s not that we’re starting a swinger club in mid-air or something like that,” he added. “We’re a perfectly normal holiday company.”

Dead Cyclist Sued for Damage
January 25, 2008
You might not believe it at a first look, but I can assure you it’s true. A Spanish driver who collided with a cyclist is suing the dead youth’s family $29,300 for the damage the impact of his body did to his luxury car, according to a Spanish newspaper.
Businessman Tomas Delgado says 17-year-old Enaitz Iriondo caused $20,500 of damage to his Audi A8 in the fatal 2004 crash in La Rioja region, said El Pais.
The businessman faced no criminal charges wants a further 6,000 euros to cover the cost of hiring another vehicle while his car was being repaired, El Pais said.
The cyclist didn’t have any reflective clothing or a helmet. His family won 30,000 euros compensation from Delgado’s insurance company after it was admitted he was driving at an excessive speed.
“I’m also a victim in all of this, you can’t fix the lad’s problems, but you can fix mine,” Delgado told the newspaper, ahead of a January 30 legal decision on his suit.
“This was the final straw, a kick in the teeth,” the youth’s mother Rosa Trinidad told El Pais.
Pets’ Blessing
January 25, 2008
In Spain, as it appear, some people have a lot of free time. On a closer look, it seems that in January people celebrate Saint Antoine. He is the patron of all house pets and birds. It’s also a good opportunity to get your dog, cat, rat or bird out and get them blessed. God protect them all! Amin!

Remember those good old time when you saw pure action movies, cheesy effects and even cheesier lines? Times have changed, probably food the best but memories still persist. Now the two stars have decided to resuscitate the genre and star in a movie.
“Brutal Deluxe” will be the first film to present the two action movie stars starring together. The movie will be the second project of Arnie and Sly after they teamed up years ago to launch the successful “Planet Hollywood” chain of fast food restaurants.
