A WOMAN was sent a £50 bill for not turning up at a friend’s wedding.<br /><br />Stunned Jessica Baker received the bill to cover costs for her and her husband’s food when they had to cancel at the last minute.<br /><br />Jessica's mum had called to say she could no longer babysit her kids while they were at the wedding, so she was forced to cancel.<br /><br />A few weeks later a bill for $75 dollars came through the post charging her for two herb-crusted walleye fish.<br /><br />Jessica, from Minnesota, told KARE 11 news in the States: “You’ve got to be kidding me.<br /><br />“It listed, we would have had two herb crusted walleye and there was also a service and tax charge.”<br /><br />The bill also came with a note that read: “This cost reflects the amount paid by the bride and groom for meals that were RSVP'd for, reimbursement and explanation for no show, card, call or text would be appreciated.”<br /><br />Jessica doesn’t plan to pay the bill. <br /><br /></div>

A STUDY has found that one in four Brits would ditch their partners for a free holiday.<br /><br />An online travel agency polled 1,472 people, all of whom were in a relationship of more than three years, about what they’d give up for a free luxury round-the-world trip.<br /><br />An astounding 26 per cent said they’d be willing to dump their partners for the prize. And 51 per cent said they’d leave their dream job.<br /><br />A huge 38 per cent were willing to give up sex forever – compared to the lowly 16 per cent who would permanently unplug from the web.<br /><br />Just nine per cent were up for losing a kidney, but 23 per cent said they’d sleep on the streets for a week.<br /><br />Touchingly, only five per cent said they’d sacrifice their closest friendship for the trip.<br /><br />Chris Clarkson, Managing Director of sunshine.co.uk, who ran the poll, said: “Let's be honest, it would be the trip of a lifetime; but I can't believe as many as a quarter would be willing to walk out on a long term relationship for it!<br /><br />"Either there's trouble in paradise there, or those people really are just a touch heartless."</div>

<b>A YOUNG family has been left with virtually nothing  after a dodgy
 “man with a van” from a Facebook page drove off with £10,000 of their 
belongings.</b><br />
Becky Szenk, 22, and fiancé Mark Higgins, 28,  had
 booked a removal firm to move possessions from their flat to a nearby 
apartment above the pub they manage.<br />
But after two removal men 
from the firm, named Lee Green, arrived  in a van to pack up the 
family’s property the Facebook page was taken down and the men have not 
been heard of since.<br />
Among the 
items taken last Friday from the flat in Walsall, West Midlands,  were a
 fridge freezer, a washing machine, furniture and clothing  along with 
all of the family’s photographs and Becky’s engagement ring.<br />

van the men,  who were described as courteous and polite and spoke with 
Black Country accents,  vanished without a trace.<br />
Now the only possession left is the family’s TV, which they took with them in their car to prevent it being damaged in the move.<br />
Devastated Becky said: “The removal men were racing in and out of the flat.<br />
“We just thought they were being very professional. But once they drove away we didn’t see them again.<br />
“The
 only thing that didn’t go was the television, and that’s only because 
we moved that ourselves in the car as we were worried about it getting 
damaged.<br />
“Everything we own was packed into that van. It all happened so quickly, around 45 minutes from start to finish.<br />
“They were supposed to meet my partner at the pub but never turned up. We have been left with virtually nothing.”<br />

The family have had to rely on the kindness of strangers to get back on their feet.<br />
Becky
 added: “We were in our new home on Friday night, but it wasn’t a home, 
it was four walls. We didn’t even have a blanket to sleep under.<br />
“Some people have come forward recently to provide us with essentials, but we still don’t have everything.<br />
“I have to put my daughter first and it is important that she is looked after before Mark and I have what we need to live.<br />
“It’s left us absolutely heartbroken. We can get new furniture but the personal stuff cannot be replaced.<br />
“For
 us it’s been a big lesson to learn. I just hope others can be more 
careful about trusting people they book over social media as I would 
hate for this to happen to anyone else.”<br />

The
 actress reveals every step of her incredible transformation in a new 
show   called Tina Malone: My New Body on TLC tomorrow night. <br />
In 
the show, before she has the surgery Tina, 52, says: “It’s such a shame 
to   have lost all the weight, and then to be left with all this excess 
skin. <br />
“I’ve looked like a piece of ugly s**t for 18 years. I’m prepared to risk   everything to get the body I’ve never had. <br />

In

one bag of crisps, I want six bags. I don’t want three   biscuits, I 
want the whole packet and I’ve been like that all my life. There   is no
 dignity in eating too much. <br />
“Part of the weight could’ve been 
rebelling against my parents. I’d eat to   annoy them. I never wanted my
 parents to come to school for parents' evening   because everybody 
looked at them because they were so good looking. I was   never a pretty
 kid. My parents never told me I was good looking.”<br />
After the skin
 removal a happy Tina says: “I’m so much more comfortable in my   skin 
because I have less of it to be comfortable in. <br />
“To hear my mum say I look beautiful is amazing. She doesn’t drop compliments   easy so it’s worth its weight in gold.”<br />

Tragic teen set herself on fire after love split

15-year-old Rebecca then sat in her den – a shrine to her kitten Honey – where there were tea light candles and set herself alight.<br /><br />It was only when she failed to come in to watch one of her favourite TV shows I’m a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! that her family became worried.<br /><br />A coroner heard she had been in a relationship with the boy – who cannot be named – for seven months but he then ended it.<br /><br />Rebe tried to win him back before she started to send him suicidal messages, but he didn’t take them seriously because she had made similar threats before.<br /><br />Sergeant Joe Williams said: “Rebe’s boyfriend had ended their relationship at school on the Friday, prior to her death on the Monday.<br /><br />“She was in denial about this and was in tears at school, having to be taken into a classroom by a member of staff.”<br /><br />Her ex-boyfriend sobbed as he said: “After we broke up she messaged me loads saying she was thinking about hurting herself.<br /><br />“I blocked her quite a few times from Facebook but then she would say she was going to do something stupid so I unblocked her and tried to talk to her.<br /><br />“I didn’t seriously think she was going to do anything even though she had said all this stuff about killing herself before but hadn’t actually done anything.”<br /><br />Her mum Gill Scott-Taylor found her lifeless body in their garden in Edmondsham, near Verwood, Dorset, on December 1 last year.<br /><br />The coroner heard she had been dead for several hours.<br /><br />Her mum said: “I had been taking Rebe cups of tea earlier in the evening and she seemed fine.”<br /><br />When Rebe didn’t appear, her mum said her immediate thought was that she had gone to see her ex-boyfriend.<br /><br />A light was then spotted in the shrine and she added: “Something stopped me from calling out to her.<br /><br />“I expected to see her kneeling or sat down but she was laid on the floor.”<br /><br />Paramedic Emily Schofield said: “She had suffered chest burns, had been deceased for some time when we arrived.”<br /><br />A post mortem found the schoolgirl had died from inhaling toxic fumes.<br /><br />Recording a narrative verdict, Dorset coroner Sheriff Payne said he believed Rebe’s actions were a cry for help rather than suicide.<br /><br />He said: “She died as a result of self-immolation but there is doubt as to whether she intended her actions to result in her death.<br /><br />“It is sad for anyone to die in this manner, let alone a young girl with so much ahead of her.<br /><br />“I really don’t think at the end of the day that she had thought this through.”<br /><br />If there’s something troubling you, get in touch with the Samaritans for free on 116 123</div>

Mercy Bundi committed suicide after a foreigner lured her through 
Facebook and assaulted her, the family revealed on Monday, September 28.
The 19-year-old college student left a suicide note in which she named 
the man and gave details of where he assaulted her and why she took her 
life.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"The day we met was the day my problems started. He was not the man I knew on Facebook," Mercy said in her suicide note.
<br />
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="more"></a></blockquote>
She said she was traumatised after the man, who identified himself to 
her as Marco Ritz, threatened to post her naked photos online for the 
whole world to see.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"He took my nude pics and told me if I say this to anyone he will sell 
them on the internet and say I am a prostitute, she wrote.
</blockquote>
Mercy was too afraid to wait for that moment. On September 12, she was 
found dead in her bed, a bottle of poison by her side. Her Sh3,190, the 
suicide note and her phone were all by her side.
Although she was born in Tanzania, she attended primary school in Kisii,
 joining Nyakach Girls High School but later transferring to St 
Michael’s School in Nakuru where she sat her KCSE exams in 2013. This 
year, she joined Bugema University in Uganda, where she died.
Police are investigating the incident amid reports that there is an 
increase in insidious crimes that have left thousands of Kenyans 
suffering in silence.<br />
<br />
Mercy joined the Facebook page, “Love beyond skin colour (white men and 
black women)”, where she met Marco.
On September 9, he travelled to Kenya and sent money to Mercy, who was 
then in Kampala. Marco had claimed that he was from Trittenheim but 
lived in Berlicht, Germany.
Mercy’s sister, Sarah Mauya Bundi, on Monday told the Nation that Mercy 
had travelled to Mombasa and met Marco there. She said she had warned 
Mercy against meeting the man and, in her suicide note, Mercy said she 
regretted not listening to her sister.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"As I am writing this, I cannot sit, eat or walk as normal. I am regretting not to listen to my sisters" the note continues
</blockquote>
On the day Mercy travelled to Mombasa, Marco posted a photo on Facebook,
 indicating that he was at the Kinondo Poa Hotel, near the Galu Kinondo 
Beach. On Monday, an assistant director at the hotel, Ms Laura Nanyuli, 
said Marco had been to the hotel twice in April and September this year 
with a woman whom he described as a lawyer and model. On his last visit,
 she said Marco did not spend the night in the hotel.<br />
<br />
On September 11, Mercy travelled to Nairobi and spent a night in her 
sister’s house in Embakasi. She could hardly walk and was in pain but 
when asked what was the problem, she told her sister that she was having
 a bad dream.
In her suicide note, however, she revealed that she was sexually 
assaulted for two days at a Mombasa hotel. After she travelled back to 
Kampala, she tried to contact Marco so that he could help her pay for 
treatment, in vain.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"I have tried to contact him for help to treat myself, he has blocked me
 in everywhere. I cannot face my sister and tell them I must rest 
because of him" says the suicide note.
</blockquote>
After her family was informed of her death, they flew the body to 
Nairobi on September 14 and reported the matter at the Jomo Kenyatta 
International Airport police station. They also gave police a photo of 
the suspect, hoping that he would be arrested before he could leave the 
country. He wasn’t. Find attached the suicide note she left. I can't 
confirm the photo used.

Press statement from the Nigerian Army<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Information reaching the Theatre Command, Operation Lafiya Dole 
indicates that Boko Haram terrorists have now resorted to poisoning 
water sources like wells and streams in areas they were dislodged by 
gallant troops or areas threatened by offensive operations.

The latest being the poisoning of the cattle water ponds in Kangallam 
village along Marte and Abadam axis in Borno State where a large number 
of cattle died after drinking water from the ponds. <br />
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="more"></a>Credible information available to the Theatre Command
 indicates that though no human life was lost as a result of the 
barbaric act of the terrorists, however, some cattle were killed after 
drinking water from some poisoned sources.

The action of the terrorists is no doubt aimed at taking their own pound
 of flesh on the innocent citizens and livestock as a result of the 
unbearable offensive operations through the combined effort of the 
Nigerian Army and the Nigerian Air Force to route them out completely 
from their enclaves and hide-outs all over the North East.

In view of this development citizens are called upon to avoid as much as
 possible drinking water from unverified sources especially in locations
 that troops routed out Boko Haram terrorists.

You are please requested to disseminate this information to the public 
through your medium.

Thank you for your usual cooperation.

Respite appears to be coming the way of residence of Ago palace way in 
Lagos as the state governor, Akinwunmi Ambode has vowed to complete the 
ongoing repairs of the road that has been in a deplorable state for so 
many years.<br />
<br />
In a statement released by the  State Ministry of Works and 
Infrastructure today September 30th, the state government said the final
 repairs along Fedrick Fasheun junction to Amuwo-Odofin Bridge and other
 road projects across the State will receive adequate and prompt 
attention by his government.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="more"></a>Ambode said efforts are on to ensure that contractors
 on all its road projects return to work and deliver high quality roads 
within reasonable timeframe. It explained that in view of the link 
between Isolo axis and the Apapa-Oshodi and Lagos Badagry Expressway, 
the Ago Palace way was segmented into phases to ensure ease of financing
 and delivery.<br />
<br />
“Phase 1 of the road is 1.7km long road. It spans between Durban 
junction and the bridge. Phase 11 is the expansion of the 700m long 
bridge, while Phase 111 is 1.65km long road that spans between Okota Rd 
Junction and Fredric Fasehun junction. The three phase have been 
completed and in use. The phase IV is a 3.05km long road. Currently the 
project has attained 45% completion with significant works done on all 
the drainage/culvert and New Jersey barrier works. Also work is at 
advance stage on relocation of services, soil stabilization, and 
provision of crush stone before laying of 80mm interlocking paving stone
 on a segment of the road".

The state government noted that erosion and flooding within the 
carriageway has subsided with the completion of drainage works on both 
sides of the 3.05 km road, adding that the inclement weather had reduced
 the pace of activities on the road.<br />
<br />
 While assuring that pace of work will soon pick up, the statement 
stressed that optional routes have been provided and made motorable by 
the contractor. They include Lamidi Ariyo, Folarin Fatunisi, Femi Kila, 
Ostra Lane, Zoostra Lane, Hakeem Dosunmu, Prince Joseph Adebayo, Awka 
Etiti, Okiki and Jemtok Street.
