Drug user repeatedly smacked his penis off shop counter before laughing as he left the store

Joanne Hesse, prosecuting, said that on January 20, last year, Mohan had gone into the Lifestyle Express store in Hartlepool at 9am and approached the shop owner. "He exposed his genitals and started playing with himself", she said. He then placed his penis on the counter and banged it against it several times. He then laughed and left the store.

I swear that these stories always seem to be from the North-East.

Can't say the adverts are effective, what with being more concerned with navigating the traffic around the roundabouts, I've never noticed the ads.

The Express and Star is great.

That's a bar, not a pub. I dare say he's not licensed to actually *sell* intoxicating spirits to his friends. This is far from an unusual feature for a house to have.So, this article fits the remit of this thread very well. Well done, this article!

Indeed. "Call that a pub in a house for sale? THIS is a pub* in a house for sale: https://www.rightmove.co.uk/news/articles/celebrity-homes/iron-maiden-star-sells-his-essex-home-pub-included/"



*not a pub either, well, probably.

Sadly, the police issued a correction - they meant feet, not inches. The idea of a 4" deep pot hole being said to "partially swallow" a car is no longer on the table.

Fantastic story this one, the response of the take away is brilliantly dismissive.
"She says her front tooth was chipped because she bit the kebab. You don't chew with your front teeth, you chew with your back teeth"

Ha merciless response.

OAPs living at seaside home want 55p refund after TV trouble

The aerial at Cliff House stopped working on Saturday - and no one has switched it back on



There is trouble with the TV at a Tudor-style sheltered housing block.The aerial at palatial Cliff House, in Marske , tripped on Saturday. A "simple flick of the switch" would restore it, but that is locked away in the manager's office - and she's off until Tuesday. It means residents are without "entertainment at night" for a third night on Monday. "I'll just turn this on," said resident Derick Walker, in the home's TV room. "There you go, ITV. Then it comes up 'no signal'."



The problem emerged at 8am on Saturday when Derick switched on the morning news. The 74-year-old said: "I got on to Riverside immediately. They are not prepared to do anything. "All the manager has to do is come in, open the cabinet and flick a switch. Simple." Located on the cliff edge, the Grade II-listed home boasts spectacular sea views. The block, which Derick describes as a "bedsit with 12-foot ceilings", is managed by Liverpool-based firm Riverside.Their delayed response has pushed several of the block's 27 residents to buy indoor aerials, at a cost of £20. But some can't make them work and others object in principle.Residents pay 55p per week for aerial maintenance - and now Derick and his neighbours want it back.

He said: "It doesn't sound a great deal. But if you times that by 27 residents, 52 weeks, it's a lot of money in a year. "I may deny them the 55p, deduct it from my next rent payment. If everyone did that, it would be great." The former naval officer, policeman and social worker said the situation has made him "extremely angry". "I can't manage without my TV. It is entertainment at night. It's quite lonely in here at night."

He seemed pretty well-preserved considering he played Dr Who in the '70s.
