Facebook Party Trashed

A British expat named Amanda Hudson let a girl called Jodie use her five million pound holiday villa in Marbella, Spain for her 16th birthday party out of the goodness of her heart, just to find the house left in a ransacked state.

What started off as an innocent 16th birthday party turned in to a huge free for all as 400 gatcrashers turned up drunk and started throwing TV's, tables and other household goods in to the swimming pool, breaking doors and destroying carpets.

Some gatecrashers went further and stole up to £6,000 worth of designer clothing and jewellry.

All of this happened even though Amanda Hudson was there as she was unable to stop what was happening until she called the police.

How did this happen I hear you ask, well Jodie posted details of the party on Facebook and Bebo two social networking sites and unfortunately included a full address of where the party was. In the details Jodie called it "party of the year" and said "Theres gone be a lot of alcohol, an amazing DJ."

Normally Amanda is able to rent out her villa for £4,000 a week during the summer season but the damage is so bad that it seems no money will be made this summer.

Taxi Driver Gives Burgler Lift Home

Mr Shen, of Huainan city in China was working away in his taxi when a man hailed a cab. When he picked up the man he was surprised to find that the man had a lot of white goods with him and even a fish that did not have a tail that looked very similar to the one in his freezer at home.

Mr Shen took the passenger to where he wished to travel to and even listened as the passenger telling the story of him travelling a long distance from his home town on a bus.

Mr Shen finished his shift in his taxi and ventured home, it was only then that he realised the man who he had taken in his taxi had actually burgled HIS house, yes Mr Shen had become the getaway driver for the burgler of his own house!

Police later arrested a 56 year old man who now faces charges of burglary and theft.

Pensioner Stabbed For a Piece of Cake

Niccolo Bruno, a seventy year old pensioner from Novate Milanese, northern Italy got more than he bargained for when he went to pick up a piece of cake as another pensioner stabbed him.

Niccolo was at an all you can eat buffet when he went to the dessert counter and noticed a cake that had only one slice left, Niccolo thought he would have this last piece of cake and grabbed it. Unfortunately for our seventy year old pensioner, Niccolo was not the only person eyeing the cake as sixty two year old Alfredo Mancini came hobbling over and stabbed his knife in to Mr. Bruno.

After the ensuing squabble over the cake Alfredo Mancini tried to make his quick getaway from the crime scene by grabbing his walking stick and trying to hobble out as quick as he could. Needless to say he didnt get very far as two policemen arrested him, now Mr. Mancini faces a possible jail sentence for causing bodily harm.

Niccolo Bruno did go to hospital but thankfully was released the same day after medical staff tended to his wound.

Mexican Donkey Jailed

A donkey in Mexico has just been released from jail after speaking three days in the slammer for biting and kicking two men.

Have you ever heard of such a thing? I didnt think so!

Blacky attacked two men near Tuxtla Gutierrez by biting and kicking them and was arrested and placed in jail. After three days the unlucky donkey was released after his owner paid for the hospital bills of the two victims and also a fine for the assualt.

The donkeys owner believes the case is over and he is not involved any more but he still has payments of just under $500 to make to each of the victims in compensation.

A jailed donkey, I thought I had heard it all.

Bartering Drugs for Snacks

A man called Wade Churchward is awaiting sentence in New Zealand for bartering marijuana for snacks from the local petrol station.

Wade Churchward, a 28 year old man from Wellington, New Zealand travelled to his local late night petrol station for chocolate and crisps. Obviously suffering with the late night munchies he started eating the chocolate before reaching the counter to pay for them.

Upon reaching the counter Wade realised he actually had no money on him so tried to persuade the cashier to let him keep the small haul of munchies by offer twelve grams of marijuana and a pipe.

Unfortunately for our good friend Wade Churchward he had neglected to notice that a police car had pulled up on the petrol station forecourt and that one of the police man was actually standing behind him in the queue at the counter.

Needless to say Mr. Churchward was dully arrested for drug possession and is awaiting sentence on the 3rd July.

Drunk and Naked except for Ugg Boots

David Ball a 32 year old man from Tyseley in Birmingham, England has been arrested and jailed for four years following the burglary of a supermarket and theft of a motor vehicle.

This may sound like a simple crime to some but this could not be further from the truth!

David Ball went out for a night on the town and got blind drunk. After getting home he realised he wanted to smoke a cigarette but didnt have any so he put on his girlfriends UGG boots, wrapped a white sheet round his naked body, stole his girlfriends car and drove to the closest supermarket.

Once at the supermarket the drunk David rammed his girlfriends car repeatedly in to the supermarket doors until they broke, he then climbed out of the car with the sheet over his head and his bottom on show. After getting in to the supermarket David Ball started grabbing boxes of cigarettes.

David Ball climbed back in to his girlfriends car before police started after him in a high speed car chase that only finished when the drunk David crashed in to two parked cars.

The blind drunk David initially said he had no recollection of the burgalry but chased his mind after seeing the footage taken from a CCTV camera of his bare bottom running in to the supermarket and grabbing the cigarettes.

Caught Stealing Grapes

Imagine getting caught stealing grapes...not something you would want to admit to your mate, but how about getting caught stealing five hundred and eighty kilograms of grapes!

Ladislau Darocz and Florin Calin, two greengrocers from the Lasi region found in the east of Romania (second Romanian story on VVIDE in three days) were caught stealing 580 kilograms from a rivals warehouse.

Ladislau Darocz and Florin Calin were caught as there "getaway" plan involved hiring three taxis to take the grapes away. Police in the area thought it odd to see three taxis in convoy so late at night so decided to stop them and have a look, needless to say they were shocked to find a taxi driver surrounded by grapes, in the front of the car, in the back of the car and in the boot of the car.

Both greengrocers complained to the police that they had took the grapes as their rival was putting them out of business with his larger store. Unfortunately for these two greengrocers they may not have a business to run any more as they both face jail time.

The Sixty Year Old Virgin

Rodica Trandafir a sixty year old lady from Romania has been forced to go to a gynaecologist to prove that even at her ripe old age, she is a virgin!

Rodica Trandafir lives in the eastern provinces of Romania in the county of Bacau and has felt the need to visit her local gynaecologist due to locals in the county spreading viscous rumours about her being a lady of the night.

Locals from Rodica's home town had frequently been whispering about men coming and going from her home at all hours of day and night. After putting up with this gossip for some time Rodica decided to take the unorthodox approach of visiting a gynaecologist and getting a certificate to prove that she is not only NOT a loose lady but even at sixty years old, still a virgin.

After getting the certificate proving her chastity Rodica then posted a copy to all her neighbours that had been questioning her sex life.

Rodica even went to the local media and said "There has been some nasty gossip about me. The men my neighbours are talking about are relatives who are helping me do some work on my house.

Your Bum Needs A Bra Love!

Dr Hart, an American psychologist has revolutionised ladies attire by creating a bra for a ladies bum!

Dr. Hart, who is female herself, believes that her nesw invention will restore a sagging bottom to its former pert self. The bum bra in question is simply a set of straps that go around the waist and under the bum lifting it slightly.

Karin Hart says by lifting the bum in this manner for long periods the bum bra is giving shape and tone to the saggy buttocks.

So how did Dr. Hart design this highly technical product?

The lovely Doctor saw her bum become saggy after a large amount of weight loss so took adhesive and started taping her bum in different positions until the optimum position became apparent and she then set about making designs of the garment from there.

The bum bra has been patented so I imagine a high number of you are moaning about not being able to create and sell your own versions.

This miraculous invention will set you back $30 (£15), lets just hope for this price it will give you the same affects as a surgical bum lift as the product professes to do!

School Dinners Drugged

Imagine going to school and being bored through your morning lessons before going in to the diner hall and finding fellow students stripping off their clothes, climbing walls and collapsing in fits of laughter on the floor! Sounds crazy doesn't it, but this actually happened in the easterns Russian city of Yuzhno Sakhalinsk.

Many thirteen to fifteen year old students were running wild after eating the soup in the dinner hall and others were affected after purchasing drinks at dinner time.

The worst affected were found to be unable to move from the floor as they were laughing so much their sides hurt while male and female students alike were stripping down to their birthday suits just for the fun of it, one teacher alikened the dinner hall to "a lunatic asylum".

After investigations were underway it was found that the soup and drinks were laced with Ecstacy and this is what caused the students to run wild.

Ten Million Hiccups!!

Ten million hiccups, imagine hiccuping ten million times in 15 months and beiong a proffesional singer!

A twenty four year old British man named Christopher Sands is a professional backing singer who has had the hiccups for fifteen months. On some days he can hiccup every two seconds while he is awake.

Starting in September 2006 these hiccups have been the bain of Christophers existence with the only way to keep them away for a short period being to hunch his body in to a tight ball...which as you can imagine is not the most easy thing to do if your not in the comfort of your own home.

Christopher has decided to have an operation to stop these pesky hiccups as it is affecting his singing career greatly for obvious reasons.

So what is the reason this poor man is hiccuping so often? A faulty stomach valve is what the Doctors think so the operation that Christopher is having will be to create a new one that functions correctly.

Football Playing Goldfish

I thought I had heard it all, that was until forty one year old Dr Dean Pomerleau from Los Angeles stepped forward and announced that he had trained his goldfish to play football!

You think its crazy that a goldfish can play football? Well Comet the goldfish not only plays football, this clever little goldfish plays fetch, pushes a rugger ball over a series of posts and even slaloms round poles.

Comet is a young two year old goldfish with the world at his feet, well flippers. His owner Dr Pomerleau has spent alot of time using food as a reward for Comet completing tasks like playing football, much like how you would train a dog. This type of training is called positive reinforcement training.

Dr Pomerleau has even gone as far as to say that given the correct training a fish can LIMBO!!! Due to the sensational football playing Comet the goldfish Dr Pomerleau has worked with a company called R2 solutions to create a special kit so anyone can train their goldfish in the comfort of their own home.

Well I dont know about you but Comet the goldfish sounds like one in a million to me, I have never seen or heard of a goldfish playing football...they normally just swim around making bubbles.

Azerbaijan Angered by Nestle Cereal Gift

The country of Azerbaijan has become so angered by a free gift from a Nestle cereal that Nestle has withdrawn the cereal.

The free gift in question is a CD-Rom that carried information about different countries from across the globe. Unfortunately for Swiss based Nestle the information on Azerbaijan was in reference to the territory of Nagorno-Karabakh. The information said that Azerbaijan started a war with Armenia in the early 1990's and that Nagorno-Karabakh belongs to Armenia.

Azerbaijan is saying that Nestle is supporting Armenia and have called for all its citizens to boycott Nestle products!

Nestle have given a formal apology but this seems to have done nothing to quell the issue.

Who ever thought that a simple free gift with a cereal box can cause such outrage to the point that a cereal company is being accused of joining forces with one country over another!

Teddy Bear Mother to Baby Monkey

A white naped mangabey monkey that is only three weeks old has been seperated from her real mother since birth as her mother is recovering from having a caesarean birth at London Zoo.

This may not sound interesting but becomes interesting until you find out that being motherless isn't worrying the three week old white naped mangabey monkey as she has become best friends with a teddy bear that zoo keepers have given her.

Yes, yes the tiny primate is enjoying the comfort of a big fluffy teddy bear that she is using as a replacement to its mother for the time being. It seems that this little monkey is more than happy with her motherly replacement so is not getting lonely during her time away from her real mother.


It seems that the endangered species of white naped mangabey monkey's have managed to increase their number by one very cute and adorable little female who has a teddy bear for a mother!

360 Billion Dollar Cheque Anyone?

Charles Ray Fuller, a twenty one year old man from Texas, has been arrested on the suspicion of attempted fraud. The case isn't that complex to be fair, the young lad decided to try and walk in to a bank with a cheque for three hundred and sixty billion dollars, yes thats $360,000,000,000 and cash it in.

Luckily the lady cashier at the Chase Bank in Fort Worth was not as silly as the young man in question and called the account holder. The account holder said that Charles Fuller was her daughters boyfriend and he by no means had authority to be cashing a cheque of that size!

As well as being arrested on the "suspicion" of fraud Charles Fuller has also been charged with unlawfully carrying a weapon and Marijuana.

You may wonder what craziness drove Mr. Fuller to try such an act.....well his answer in the back of the police car was simple...he claims that the money was given by his girlfriends mother so he could start his own record label!!

Maybe he should count the amount of zeros he sticks on a cheque before thinking a bank will believe his story.
