FLY CHASE TRAGEDY

A man in France has accidental­ly blown up part of his house while trying to chase a fly with an electric swat.

The man, in his 80s, was eating his dinner last week when he became annoyed at a fly buzzing around him.

He picked up the electronic fly swat and took aim at it, as he was unaware of a gas cylinder leaking at his home in the village of Parcoul-Chenaud in Dordogne.

A reaction occurred between the swat and the gas, causing an explosion and part of his kitchen to blow up.

The blast also damaged a section of his roof and the house is currently uninhabita­ble.

Somehow the man managed to escape the catastroph­e with just a burn to his hand.

His family are repairing the house while he resides at a local campsite, news outlet Sud Ouest reported. It is unknown what happened to the fly. — Sky News.

sc orned WIFE

A sc orned wife has publicly exposed her husband as a cheater by posting flyers “all over the city” — but people have criticised her for involving their children in the spat.

The posters were spotted in the United States, showing a family photo with a red circle around the husband, alongside his wife and two children.

Underneath it reads: “ABANDON ED his wife and kids in NY to come to RTC and screw MILFs! (and for a cr***y gov’t job!)

It included of a photo of the family he was accused of “abandoning”.

It was shared on Reddit, with the user saying the posters had been torn down by the following day.

But some questioned the wife’s actions, writing: “Why would she put the kids pictures on the flyers?! Do that to this scumbag if you wish.

“Considerin­g the children’s pictures are on there, I’m sure they have already been put through hell by their parents. I get it, a lover scorned, but the kids? Really?”

Another wrote: “I would never do this either way, but I can’t understand why she didn't just do a giant head shot of him. I understand she wants to emphasize the abandonmen­t of his family component, but I feel like the words would have been enough.

“My dad cheated and left us for another woman/life and I would never have wanted this . . .”

But others said it was understand­able, arguing: “She’ll regret it later, but she must have been filled with absolute rage.”

Another added: “Hell hath no fury . . .” — Mirror UK.
