Odds And Euro Sods

Pumpkin Face

A 23 year old girl from Castellon in Spain who had been dumped, attacked her ex-boyfriend at the market where he worked, by throwing pumpkins seeds at his face, while shouting "Take that you son of a bitch".

Pumpkin Face .....

While this seems an odd thing to do, there was method in her madness.

Her ex is allergic to pumpkin seeds  and he had to go to a medical centre for an immediate injection to prevent his throat swelling, and his body going into shock .... he said that he was lucky that he 'didn't have his mouth open'.

Going Crackers

Bonjour You English Cheese Eating Surrender Monkeys
Bonjour You English Cheese Eating .......

Now that we are leaving the EU, the French have apparently decided that British foods are not that bad after all. There has been a large increase in demand for Cheddar, Red Leicester and Double Gloucester cheeses at the 150 Franprix food chain in Paris, according to food chain Waitrose ..... Too late you cheese eating surrender monkeys!! 

Strange Ethics

Scientists in Toulouse France have developed what is claimed to be 'ethical' foi gras, which requires no force feeding of geese. They use an enzyme instead to fatten the geese livers ... define 'ethical' for me again?

Strange Customs

In the Portuguese village of Vale de Salgueiro a strange tradition has grown up over the years.

On Epiphany (the 12th day of Christmas, when tradition says that the Magi - 3 wise men - arrived Jesus Christ after he was born), parents buy cigarettes for their children, some of whom are as young as 5 years old. This is illegal in Portugal, but of course no one does anything to stop it.

Time For Change

A lorry driver in Bremervorde Germany had collected 2.5 tons of loose change, in the form of 1.2 million pfennig coins when he died. It took a banker six months to count it - value just £7,000 .... interestingly the question of whether it was even legal currency in Germany any more, wasn't discussed in the news snippet.

Dopey Thief

A drug dealer in Copenhagen jumped into the back of a taxi with about 1,000 joints on him, only to find it was a police car .... he was arrested.

Lost And Found

A 56 year old German man reported his car as missing in Frankfurt in 1997. He was reunited with the car last year, when demolition workers found it in the garage where he had parked it. It had lain undisturbed ever since. Now 76, he was taken to the car, but it was in a sad state of neglect and had to be towed away.       

Gym Jam

A German man, in the city of Worms somehow managed to get his penis stuck in the hole in a gym weight on the 16th of September  .... my how we boys seem to be able find new and inventive ways to do this .... He needed the help of both the medics and the fire brigade, plus a number of power tools to free him.

Bad Call

A woman in France, is suing a telephone clairvoyant who had told her she would be dead in six weeks.

Clairvoyants Rarely See The Future
Clairvoyants Rarely See The Future .....

The swindled 35 year old customer from Thionville in France, says she suffered severe psychological torture when told she was going to die. "The fortune teller said I had heart trouble and I'd die in six months. I got so traumatised I saw a therapist who advised me to sue". .... You have to ask how the clairvoyant didn't see this coming ....

    1. Claire, firstly thanks for the comment. Secondly, what can I say? There are men who seem to have a sexual interest in the most bizarre of things. Keep an eye out for a future post.
