In his vest and tracksuit trousers, jobless David Bradley looks an unlikely stud. But the 53-year-old with the long white hair has fathered 16 children by seven women. His lovers include two sisters, both nearly half his age, who live with him and are the mothers of nine of his clan. It is a dubious feat that has earned him the nickname 'the Peter Stringfellow of Stafford'. That nickname, however, is just about all layabout lothario Bradley has earned through a hard day's work for as long as most people can remember. For despite having obviously exerted himself in the bedroom, he claims he cannot work because of a heart condition - and gets more than £32,000 a…

WASHINGTON - The Bush administration said Tuesday that all detainees held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and in U.S. military custody everywhere are entitled to protections under the Geneva Conventions. White House spokesman Tony Snow said the policy, outlined in a new Defense Department memo, reflects the recent 5-3 Supreme Court decision blocking military tribunals set up by President Bush. That decision struck down the tribunals because they did not obey international law and had not been authorized by Congress. The policy, described in a memo by Deputy Defense Secretary Gordon England, appears to reverse the administration’s earlier insistence that the detainees are n…

Author JK Rowling has said two characters will die in the seventh and final Harry Potter book, but she has been careful not to reveal which ones. She told the Richard and Judy show that she had long known how the series would end, because she had written the last chapter "in something like 1990". "One character got a reprieve, but I have to say two die that I didn't intend to die," she said. She refused to elaborate, as "I don't want the hate mail or anything else". Rowling said she could understand why authors might want to finish off their main characters in order to ensure they could never be resurrected. She would not say if this would be the case wi…

Pistons must search for new identity Mike Kahn / Special to FOXSports.com Posted: 14 hours ago Big Ben cashing in changes everything. In a startling move that promises to change the balance of power in the NBA's Eastern Conference, four-time defensive player of the year Ben Wallace has agreed to a four-year, $60 million contract with the Chicago Bulls — leaving the Detroit Pistons with a huge hole in the middle. The Pistons, who won the NBA championship in 2004 and lost in the seventh game of the NBA Finals to the San Antonio Spurs in '05, lost to the Miami Heat in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference semifinals — and Wallace's uneven play, coupled with his constan…

I just watched this today at a 10 PM advanced screening (not that advanced--only a few hours :laugh3:). I actually kinda liked it. :stunned: Didn't expect myself to. It's a bit on the cheesy/corny side, but what movie based on a comic isn't? (there probably is one, but whatever) Buuut, very cool. :D There's a pretty good amount of non-pun/corny/cheesy humor also. :P All in all, I liked it... I think.

Beckham revealed his decision at England's final press conference in Germany in the wake of their World Cup quarter-final defeat by Portugal.

Mouse beats the rat RONALDO ... crying shameCRISTIANO RONALDO missed out on the World Cup’s Best Young Player award after being branded a cheat by Sun readers AND a FIFA bigwig. Your votes knocked Ron the Rat off top spot in the online poll before the Gillette award was handed to German striker Lukas Podolski. Then FIFA admitted the Portugal winger’s cheating, and his behaviour in the game against England, DID count against him. Ronaldo, 21, urged the referee to punish Manchester United team-mate Wayne Rooney for his stamp on Ricardo Carvalho and winked at the bench when the England star was sent off. Holger Osieck, the head of FIFA’s technical study group, said…

The 21-year-old has been criticised in England for his role in the sending off of United team-mate Wayne Rooney when Portugal beat England in the World Cup.

Brain sensor allows mind-control Mr Nagle was the first patient to trial the device A sensor implanted in a paralysed man's brain has enabled him to control objects by using his thoughts alone. The experimental set-up allowed the man, who has no limb movement at all, to open e-mail, play a computer game, and pinch a prosthetic hand's fingers. The US team behind the sensor hopes its technology can one day be incorporated into the body to restore the movement of paralysed limbs themselves. The Massachusetts-based team's study is published in the journal Nature. "It's just wild" Matthew Nagle Matthew Nagle, 25 at the time of the trial, was left p…

FIFA may strip disgraced French skipper Zinedine Zidane of his World Cup best player award, the organisation's president Sepp Blatter has told Italian newspapers. Zidane was announced as the winner of the prestigious award on Monday morning, the day after the World Cup final which saw him sent off in the second period of extra time for head-butting an Italian opponent.
