Zammo’s rant at ban
ACTOR Lee MacDonald, who played Zammo in children’s TV show in the 1980s, told the BBC he has had an “absolute nightmare” following TSB’s IT glitches.
The boss of TSB has apologised for the problems which left online customers unable to access their money and some able to see other people’s accounts.
Paul Pester said he was “deeply sorry” for the problems as data and banking watchdogs confirmed they were looking into the situation.
Customers complained of problems with mobile and online accounts several hours after a system upgrade was supposed to have been completed on Sunday.
Lee, now a key cutter and locksmith, told BBC Radio 5 Live: “I’m having an absolute nightmare. My business has literally stopped. I don’t know what money’s coming in, what money’s going out.
“It is unbelievable for a big company. I’m in absolute turmoil at the moment. When you run a small business, every job counts.” PINT-SIZED actor Verne Troyer passed away on Saturday after struggling for years with an alcohol addiction.
The 2ft 8in former Austin Powers star was just 49 years old, but definitely lived life to the full – as his photos with some of the best known Sport babes prove.
Verne once boasted about his sexual prowess and said: “I know exactly how to make a woman feel like a woman. I know the spot, and I’ve got plenty of inches where it matters.”
And it didn’t take him long to make his moves on glamour girls Verena Twigg and Tommie Jo when they bumped into the little fella during a trip to Hollywood in 2010.
Verena, 30, showed off her 34D painted boobs at a showbiz bash and said: “We spotted Verne and immediately went over to ask for a photo.
“We ended up chatting and that turned to flirting. You could tell we were turning him on, so to give him a bit more of a thrill Tommie and I snogged in front of him.”
“He said we should carry on a little party of our own, asking us ‘Do you want to meet mini, Mini-Me?’”
Blonde bombshell Tommie Jo, 28, locked lips with Verena to tease the Harry Potter actor – and she also left him impressed with her 32G norks.
She added: “I can see why girls go for him. He enjoyed watching me and Verena kiss. It was a tempting offer but we had to say no.”
Instead of being put off by Tommie and BIG STAR: Verne in Verena’s rejection, Verne attempted to work his charm on topless hottie Gemma Hiles, 29, at the Vendome Club, London.
Offering to take her to “heaven and back” Verne fancied the pants off Gemma and her 32E boobs but she rebuffed him.
She said: “I was flattered, but taken aback at the same time.
“Within minutes of meeting him he suggested we go somewhere a little quieter together. He was deadly serious. I mean, he’s a big star, but he’s just not my type.”
