Surfing the web we found this little story on the BBC. Enjoy. . . .
A man posing as Darth Vader attacked a Star Wars fan, who had founded a Jedi Church, a court has heard.
Arwel Wynne Hughes, 27, from Holyhead, Anglesey, admitted assaulting Barney Jones and cousin Michael with a metal crutch. They suffered minor injuries.
Hughes, who was drunk and dressed in a black bin bag, shouted “Darth Vader!”
Earlier, when Hughes failed to arrive on time, District Judge Andrew Shaw issued an arrest warrant, adding: “I hope the force will soon be with him.”

I found this whilst surfing the interweb earlier this evening. It happened a few days ago but well worth reading. . . . .
A school was forced to help girls get emergency contraception after an end of term party saw under-age pupils having unprotected sex in a village square.
The event is said to have involved “a disturbingly high number of girls” having sex while they were too drunk to know what they were doing, and also left one boy hospitalised.
This is the first call for Flight CLB100 to Anonymity. Will any passengers with special needs ….[oh wait, that is all 385 of them]… please make themselves known to the Escapework.net stewards at the departure gate.

This really is an only in America kind of story. Picked up on http://www.ananova.com earlier today it has been reported that two sisters are selling a cornflake on eBay.
Why? Well, it looks a lot like the state of Illinois. That sounds like madness in itself but the bidding has reached over £100K! For a cornflake!!

Yesterday the BBC broke a story about an accountant from Golders Green, London, who was claiming damages of £300K from the respected retail chain Marks and Spencer.
What possible reason could someone have to sue M&S?
Well, Mr Alexander Martin-Sklan, 55, was allegedly injured after slipping on a grape (yes, you read that correctly, a grape) in his local M&S car park. His claim was that a grape from the store was lodged in the void of his sandal and caused him to slip once outside. His slip caused him tendon damage, which meant that he couldn’t ski!

Out on a Friday night and seen Winehouse jacking up in the toilets?
Doherty curled up outside your front door?
Seen Spears hauling her drunken redneck ass out of an LA bar in the early hours?
Walking down the street and Posh faints through lack of food and talent?
Let us know and we'll let the world know.

Terminological Phrase of the Week
The good people at Escapework.net have always been ones to talk a little bit of horse.
Consequently, we are going to be bringing to you our phrase of the moment.
Delving into our linguistic archives, we will bring you a new term to add to the colourful lexicon that is the English language!
This weeks term is:
Console History
A Console History is the term used when describing ones own history of electronic game playing throughout the ages.
One may use the term when describing playing a particular type of game genre over say a period of 20 years.
When to use it?
Let's say there is an email thread discussing say football games ranging from Pele Soccer on the Atari, via Kick off 2 on the Amiga, right through to current games on the PS3.
One person could claim that they are a better player of sports simulators as they have a longer/ better console history than someone who specialised in RPGs or Platfrom games.
Another phrase next week
Where are they now......
Cast your mind's eye back to your childhood...
Remember when certain people were on top of their game.... Ever wondered what happened to a childhood
TV presenter that you fancied? Well wonder no more!
