The BBC occasionally seem to have a spate of odd or funny stories ..... last week was obviously one of those weeks.
Last week we had reports the Welsh Darth Vader. He goes by the name of Arwel Wynn Hughes, from Holyhead, Anglesey, Wales. Although I shouldn't laugh because he actually used a metal crutch to assault two "Trekkies" (Star Wars fans) who had set up a "Jedi Temple" which caters for around 30 local members in the Holyhead area, I still thought the story funny.
The two cousins were prancing about dressed as Jedi knights with fake light sabres when Mr Hughes spotted them. He was drunk and managed to find a black plastic bag to put on his head, and with a metal crutch proceeded to give the two 'Jedi Knights' a walloping with it whilst shouting "Darth Vader". He then laughed, said he was joking and ran off.
The police and the courts didn't think it was as absurd as either Mr Hughes or I and gave him two months, suspended for 12 months, plus ordering him to pay money to his 'victims'.
Oddly the whole event was 'filmed' and viewable on the first link above.
