The swinging 'Vicar of Dibley': Clergywoman kicked out over wife-swapping and drunkenness By Beth Hale, Andy Dolan and David Wilkes Last updated at 10:09 AM on 12th November 2008 Comments (35) Add to My Stories From the moment she roared into the quiet village of Welton on her motorbike, the vicar caused quite a stir. Parishioners soon realised that she had a lust for life - and many hoped she would use that to 'change perceptions of religion'. But unknown to her flock, the Reverend Teresa Davies was directing her passion towards other activities. The mother of two was a swinger, going on wife-swapping holidays with her husband Michael. …

Barking mad: Owners of obese dogs and fat cats could face jail under controversial new rules By David Derbyshire Comments (87) Add to My Stories Owners of fat cats and obese dogs could be fined or jailed under controversial Government rules. New beefed-up codes of practice for pet owners published today state that overfeeding pets is a 'serious welfare concern' that can lead to unnecessary suffering. People who refuse to put seriously fat pets on a diet could be prosecuted under the Animal Welfare Act - and face a fine of up to £20,000 or even 12 months' jail.

Why talking sarcastically about the weather while queueing for a bus makes you a true Brit By Daily Mail Reporter Last updated at 12:37 AM on 10th November 2008 Comments (2) Add to My Stories Queueing, moaning, boozing, and talking about the weather.

What Daddy's little girl wants Daddy's little girl gets. So when Missy Quinn insisted on a big white wedding with her boyfriend, her father said Yes. It didn't matter that she was only 16 and the groom 17. Daddy also said Yes to a £16,000 wedding dress (which looked suspiciously like a crop top and skirt) and Yes to 150 guests at the reception. Then there were the cars, the hotels, the tiara and the £500 bouquet. In the end, making Missy's wedding dreams come true cost her father - who lives in a caravan and surfaces driveways for a living - a whopping £100,000. But as his princess, who hasn't been in a classroom since she was nine and wants to be a glamour …

A woman is suing a famous fast-food as she has slipped on a French-fried (a chip in English UK) and has damaged her knee while falling. She won't recover according to the doctor and she needs a walking stick to be able to walk. The woman has compounded her injury while falling off because of her weight which is very heavy. In fact, she's quite overweight. She's asked 100.000 € as damages. She may get the half. What an amazing story (which is genuine). I could hear this story at the news a few days ago.

[ame=http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=u9RTYGb4ISk]YouTube - Kerry Katona Interview This Morning[/ame] An erratic appearance by former pop star Kerry Katona on ITV1's This Morning caused viewers to call in with concerns about her health. The singer's slurred words prompted host Phillip Schofield to say: "You don't seem right to me... Your speech is a bit slurred, how are you feeling?" Katona seemed surprised by the question, but blamed prescription drugs she had taken to help her sleep. Publicist Max Clifford said he was "increasingly concerned" for Katona. "There's no way she should have been allowed to do that show," the singer's publicist told Radio 1 Ne…

A teenager has claimed to have the longest name in the world - Captain Fantastic Faster Than Superman Spiderman Batman Wolverine Hulk And The Flash Combined. Captain Fantastic - formerly George Garratt - changed his name by deed pool "for a bit of a laugh" through the Legal Deed Poll Service which charged £10 for the legally-certified deed poll. Captain Fantastic, a 19-year-old music student from Glastonbury, Somerset, said his name beat the Guinness Book of Records' longest personal name registered on a birth certificate by 24 letters. http://news.aol.co.uk/glastonbury-teen-has-longest-name/article/20081103232659038265309

Apologies if there is already a thread like this, but I couldn't find one. How do I make a screen cap. Someone did explain it to me when I first joined the board a few months back, but I was just too stupid and scared to have a go :P Think I'm ready to give it a whirl now... Can you help? :)

Ok so I donwloaded Coldplay live at the BBC at the multimedia forum. I unzipped the folder and the video file is a mkv. How do I play it or convert it. Thanks.

Simple. If you are going to vote, who will you vote for? And if you cannot vote in the election, who would you vote for?

Here it is (about halfway down the page): http://screenrant.com/international-trailer-harry-potter-halfblood-prince-rob-4052/ Great trailer, can't wait for the movie!

Anyone else watch this show? I just started to online since I'm from the U.S. but it's really good. It seems to be pretty popular...?

It's supposed to be one of their most politically incorrect episodes ever - apparently. :wink3:

Charity single 'Hero' by the X Factor Finalists looks set to become one of the biggest-selling singles of the decade, according to sales figures. The Mariah Carey cover is expected to sell more than 300,000 copies across the UK, with retailers struggling to keep up with the demand. Speaking of its success, HMV spokesman Gennaro Castaldo said: "This is proving to be one of the biggest single releases for years, if not the decade. Only Leona Lewis's debut hit 'A Moment Like This', which sold over 500,000 copies in its first week, can compare. "It's selling more than most Christmas number ones would, and HMV has placed an urgent order for more copies. 'Hero' has so…

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igbBItLemsM]YouTube - True News 5: The Truth About Voting[/ame] Whether you agree with him or not, it's a powerful argument!

Barack Obama's core belief is that we belong not to ourselves, but to government. We are tools that the government is free to use to bring about what Obama calls "economic justice." The fruits of our labor belong to government ... and government can do with them what it pleases. Now if this is your philosophy, then vote for this guy. Then every time you draw a paycheck why don't you drop him a line and ask him how much of it you can keep to care for your family and plan for your own future and how much he would like to have to redistribute to someone who sat on their butt while you were busting yours. After all, you voted for him.

The BBC could face prosecution over obscene phone calls that Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand made to 78-year-old Fawlty Towers actor Andrew Sachs. The controversial presenters left a series of lewd messages on Mr Sachs’s answerphone claiming, in shockingly explicit language, that Brand had had sex with his granddaughter, Georgina. Mr Sachs, who played waiter Manuel in the classic sitcom, was left deeply upset by the crude calls – which were also broadcast to about two million listeners to Brand’s Radio 2 show. And Georgina’s distraught mother, Kate, said last night: ‘It’s awful.’ Astonishingly, senior BBC executives cleared the offensive messages for broadcas…
