Weight-loss boom & bust
THOUSANDS of women on fitness drives are losing weight, but in the “wrong” places, a survey shows.
Almost a third said the pounds had dropped off where they did not want them to, with 55% of those sad to see them disappear from their bust.
More than half had been targeting their stomachs, health app Jonple found, although 95% said they felt better for starting their healthier regime.
A POLICE officer was jailed yesterday for having sex with a crime victim in a disabled toilet at his station while on duty.
PC Christopher Wilson, 43, flirted with the woman as she gave a statement about “domestic abuse”.
The pair then went into the toilet in Launceston, Cornwall, where he told her being on duty was “the naughty bit that makes it more exciting”.
He admitted misconduct in a public office and was jailed for 10 months.
A MAN has appeared in court after being accused of battering a Travelodge receptionist to death.
Stephen Cole, 32, was charged on Thursday with murdering 27-year-old Spaniard Marta Vento during a December night shift in Bournemouth.
He was remanded into a psychiatric hospital and will return to court in May.
David Attenborough has a point when he says the best way to feel good about yourself is to relax in the woods for 10 minutes where the “experience is humbling” and “extraordinary things happen”. Although the type of experience may differ from woods to woods.
A few weeks ago, a friend was sitting in the wooded area of a Liverpool park when something extraordinary did indeed happen. He was chased by four weed-smoking teenagers screaming “get the baldy grass”. As he made it to the public pathway all he could hear was manic laughter from the weed-smokers as he almost collapsed getting his breath back. He said it was, undoubtedly, very humbling.
I’ve found this lockdown less stressful than the first one due to being kindly given a draught beer machine, which I fill up with 10-pint kegs, allowing a permanent stream of lager and IPA to be on tap in my kitchen. It’s just like owning my own pub, without having to queue behind some dozy sod faffing over a food order or ordering seven cocktails. Many people are frustrated with scientists who say we may have to learn to live with Covid. Roll out the barrel, I say.
A WOMAN told a court she had a “moral responsibility” to tell police Lord Ahmed tried to rape her.
The alleged victim reported Nazir Ahmed of Rotherham, to police in 2016 – four decades after the alleged crime.
She told police in an interview she needed to protect other children.
On more than one occasion in the early 1970s, she claims Ahmed held her down and tried to rape her before letting go.
The woman said: “I thought I had let him do that to me and I felt dirty.”
Ahmed, 63, denies two counts of attempting to rape a girl under 16, indecent assault of a boy under 14 and raping a boy under 16, all in the early 1970s.
The case at Sheffield crown court continues.
