Worthing man with foot fetish made nuisance calls to police

A man who called emergency services to indulge his foot fetish has been sentenced again.

Richard Cove, of Boundary Road, Worthing, persistently called police on 101 pretending to be an elderly woman to report trivial matters, before going on to ask call handlers personal questions including the size of their feet.

He also attempted to manipulate them into saying the phrases "cheesy feet" or "smelly feet".

Ferry firm apologises as porn screened to passengers

A ferry company has apologised after children were left "screaming" when pornography was screened on one of its ships bound for Sussex.

DFDS said it was "very sorry" for the incident, which happened late last month onboard the ferry from Dieppe, in France, to Newhaven.

It said that an "adult film" was mistakenly broadcast on the onboard lounge television to passengers who had been watching the Formula One grand prix.

A DFDS spokesperson said the crew were "not aware" the film was being broadcast, adding that "once they were alerted to the content, the channel was swiftly changed."

"Man who cryogenically froze late wife sparks debate by dating new partner"

Look, all I'm saying is that it was established and confirmed several decades ago that cryogenic frozen bodies just turn in to grey mush in a tube. That TNG episode "The Neutral Zone" may have been a classic, but it got a lot of stuff wrong!
 

Drunk raccoon found passed out on liquor store floor after breaking in​

He was found "passed out in the bathroom between the toilet and bin". Sounds like a rough night...
 
Looks like you have had a busy day @GooseOnTheLoose

A woman said she was left "terrified" after a goose crashed through her front door as she watched television.
Lynne Sewell said she initially thought a loud bang was someone trying to kick the door in - before she went to have a gander and found the bird wedged in the door at her home in Countesthorpe, Leicestershire, on Wednesday.
"I was scared by the loud bang to start with, and it was enormous," she said.
Wildlife rescuers, who believe the in-flight Canada goose may have become tired and misjudged its landing, said it suffered just a few cuts and was set to make a swift return to the wild.
Lynne, who was watching Manchester City take on Brentford with her friend Ian Bullock, said she initially thought it was human vandals behind the bang and did not expect fowl play

Oi! I'm a Greylag, thank you very much. It was one of my Canadian cousins.

Turns out she didn't have my bins after all.
