Former MP’s Friend Not Very Helpful In Court
Former Labour MP Helen Clark (Peterborough, Cambridgeshire) is in the soup for some things she allegedly said to a barmaid. You know things are probably not going well when your “friend” testifies … “I felt she had had a lot to drink. I felt she was out of control. In…
Pub Owner Faces The Music
Nobody likes a noisy neighbor. What if you lived next to a bar that cranked out music – outside – from 9 p.m. – 3 a.m., from 5 speakers, nonstop? Such was the fate of some folks in Barcelona, Spain. As reported at canada.com: A court in Barcelona said three…
Dude, You’re iTouch Is On Fire – No, I Mean It’s Really “On Fire”

And I Thought Airline Security Was Crazy In The U.S.
The Juice abhors vagueness. The European Union register of hand-luggage restrictions (which, by the way, was secret until last year!) prohibits passengers from bringing “any blunt instrument capable of causing injury” on the plane, as reported by The Austrian Times. Pretty vague right? Right, as Vienna, Austria resident Gottfried Heinrich…
F-Bombs Hurled At Judge; “No You” Says Judge. The Result?
So the police respond to a call regarding a gas station burglary. At the scene, they see old Bullock trying to hide. When told to halt, he runs – and crashes through a plate glass window. He was caught and taken to the hospital. When the cuffs were removed, and…
