An armed man was foiled in his attempt to rob a Bolton chip shop when the owner's partner threw a hot bowl of mushy peas at him, a court has heard. Kieran Naylor, 21, of Monks Lane, Breightmet, hit the owner of the Breightmet Lucky Supper Bar with a hammer in September 2006.

The couple, who are both in their 60s, were serving two regular customers at the chip shop when the attempted robbery took place.

Hitler wine fetches £3,995 - but don't mention its taste Last updated at 21:30pm on 17th February 2007 Comments Nazi tipple: The bottle bearing Hitler's face A rare bottle of wine with Adolf Hitler on the label exceeded expectations yesterday when it sold at auction for £3,995 - but its new owner won't be able to drink it. Discovered in a garage, the red "Fuhrerwein' - valued at £500 to £800 - attracted worldwide interest when it went under the hammer in Plymouth.

Full TV coverage of the US murder trial of music producer Phil Spector will be allowed, a Superior Court judge says. Judge Larry Paul Fidler claimed it was time to overcome a "fear of cameras" in Los Angeles courts, prevalent since OJ Simpson's murder acquittal in 1995. But he warned he would "pull the plug" if the media acted irresponsibly. Spector, the 67-year-old known for his "Wall of Sound" production technique, is accused of killing actress Lana Clarkson in his home in 2003. He is alleged to have shot her in the foyer of his mock castle in the Californian city - but he claims Clarkson, who was 40, committed suicide. His lawyers were against the ide…

An A-list actor is accused of having a mile-high fling, and a private plane company plans to launch chartered flights for romantic liaisons. But what exactly is the legality of this much fabled form of sexual indulgence? It's a heady mix. There's the adrenaline of flying at 30,000 feet on the way to exotic shores and the frisson of illicit temptation. And maybe even the business class champagne. Sex on an aeroplane - after the seatbelt lights are off, naturally - makes good reading for fans of blockbuster romance novels, but for some it is more than just a fantasy. Janet Jackson and Richard Branson are self-confessed members of the "Mile-High Club" and Ralph F…

And women's work areas are much more germ-ridden than men's, thanks in part to their habit of stashing snacks in their drawers. Makeup and hand lotions also helped transfer bacteria, as well as phones and handbags. Women have three to four times the amount of germs in, on and around their desks, phones, computers, keyboards, drawers and personal items as men do, the…

Select British suspects saved in Africa, flown back to UK, then released Wednesday, February 14, 2007 A group of men suspected to be "jihadists" with "links to Al Qaeda" have been rescued from captors in Somalia by the British Foreign Office and flown back to the UK by the RAF, thus saving them from a death penalty handed down by Somali authorities. Whitehall sources said they would keep the four men under surveillance but they will not be placed under control orders, which would allow their movements to be restricted. Tory homeland security spokesman Patrick Mercer said the Government was 'wishin…

Iran 81mm Mortar Story: Twists, Turns, and Eating Crow Kurt Nimmo Wednesday, February 14, 2007 It was just yesterday I received an email indicating my assertion the Iranian 81mm mortar story—part and parcel of the neocon effort to finger Iran for killing U.S. soldiers in Iraq—was in error, as it appeared at first glance indeed an Iranian death merchant manufactured 81mm mortar shells, thus debunking my debunking of the neocon effort, not that it particularly matters as the neocons will bomb the smithereens out of Iran regardless of the transparency of their propaganda. In short, I ate a healthy serving of crow, and then set about removing my original post and ad…

Using Fred, students learn how to give chest compressions to fatter patients, how to find the breastbone under all the flab and how to tilt back a fleshy neck to clear the airway. Steve Perry, who runs a first-aid course in Leicestershire, said: 'These days the clientele you tend to deal with are of a similar size to Fat Fred. 'But up until now we have had to practise on slimline dummies, which is a lot different to real life.' Resuscita…

Betrayal of a generation By STEVE DOUGHTY - More by this author » Last updated at 00:01am on 14th February 2007 Comments Family breakdown, drink, drugs, teenage sex and fear of violence have left British children the worst off in the world's 21 richest nations. The damning verdict was delivered in a United Nations report. Even though Britain is the fourth wealthiest nation in the world, the child welfare agency Unicef found children were far better off and better cared-for in less prosperous countries. The 20 above us included Hungary, Portugal, the Czech Republic, Greece and Poland. The Netherlands was ranked the best country for children to liv…

Williams enters rehab on birthday It is not the first time that the British star has entered rehab, having become addicted to drugs and alcohol after he left Take That in 1995. He said later that his condition was so bad that Sir Elton John "kidnapped" him and made him seek treatment. In September, his Asian tour was called off because of stress and exhaustion. He was to have visited Shanghai, Hong Kong, Bangkok, Singapore, Mumbai (Bombay) and Bangalore in November. A spokesman said at the time that to have performed in those cities after honouring European and South American commitments would have been "asking too much". 'Blow up' In a TV interv…
