She pulled off his left testicle and tried to swallow it, before spitting it out. A friend handed it back to Mr Jones saying: "That's yours." Monti admitted wounding and was jailed for two-and-a-half years. 'Pulled hard' Sentencing Monti, Judge Charles James said it was "a very serious injury" and that Monti was not acting in self-defence. The court heard that Mr Jones had ended his long-term but "open relationship" with Monti towards the end of May last year. The pair remained on good terms and on 30 May she picked him up from a party in Crosby and went back for drinks with friends at Mr Jones's house. An argument ensued and

Fat babies are made to order, by fat mothers, 'that's right'. You fat kids can blame your mother for your weight problems. like pigging out on Trans fat fried Chook and Mac Greaseburgers . The Mothers diet shapes her child's future. AUSTRALIAN scientists have made the world-first discovery that a pregnant woman's diet determines whether her baby grows into a fat adult or a skinny one. The research suggests women who are overweight before they fall pregnant, and during it, may condemn their children to a life of overeating and obesity. It reveals that a mother's diet during pregnancy affects the baby's brain circuits, determining appetite and energy expenditure in their offspring. This suggests that mothers should think twice about overindulging, or using the excuse that they're eating for two during pregnancy. Unlike previous studies, the groundbreaking work highlights the pre -natal period as a critical time for programming of post-natal and adult appe

Should fat people in Australia be paid to lose weight? Fat people will be offered cash incentives to lose weight and take exercise as part of a new Government strategy to tackle the obesity epidemic, which could ultimately cost the NHS in Great Britain £50bn a year to treat. Should overweight people be paid to lose weight? I think not, Stick them with a pin and watch them float off somewhere or anywhere, their early demise will save the taxpayers millions in pension payouts. Employers will be encouraged to set up competitions with cash, vouchers and other rewards for people taking up a healthier lifestyle. Similar schemes have worked in the US, while private medical insurance companies in Britain are already offering discounts to people who regularly go to the gym. Should the overweight be paid to slim? Should employers monitor their employees' fitness regimes? What is the best way to encourage people to lead a healthier lifestyle?

First of all on OZ Strayer day, ask as many people as possible; particularly Aussies, " How many stars are there on the OZ Flag"? or make it harder the number of points on the stars of said flag, last year I received the correct answers from one in every eight enquiries. I am attracting a heap of visitors according to my stats. but comments are sparse. However, its the Quality of my callers I enjoy; the regulars and those with whom I share a common bond, blogging has cemented some great relationships. Not altogether smooth sailing during the past 19 days, when on Thurs 3 inst I decided to take a tumble in the shower, whereby an re enactment of 'psycho ' took place, when I cracked my right shin bone (dead centre) among other bruises.

ABOUT 4000 NSW public servants have been told to stop drinking bottled water - because it is bad for the environment. The Department of Environment and Climate Change (DECC) has sent a memo to staff saying bottled water will no longer be provided at its 120 offices - and encouraging staff to avoid buying their own. "Staff are asked to consider refilling water bottles from the tap. All major centres in NSW have a clean, reliable water supply," a DECC spokesman said. "Staff can buy their own bottled water but we would hope they consider the environment." The decision to scrap bottled water was made on environmental grounds and extends to communal chilled water dispensers. "The environmental costs of bottled water, producing, transporting, refrigerating and disposing of the bottles, have led DECC to eliminate all non-essential bottled water purchases from the department," a small number of the bottles will still be bought for occupational health and safety re

The cricket season in the land where cricket was invented lasts about 15 weeks and is much of the time marred by bad weather. In contrast, we have a 30 week cricket season in OZstrayer , with a 22 week Preview off season producing weather conditions far better than the dismal English conditions. Doesn't sound fair you might say. But the English have only themselves to blame for allowing Oz money grabbing cricketers in the past* to bolster Englands cricket crowds, *only one foreign player per county side will be permitted this year, allowing more English talent-?-into the first class games. The term "It isn't cricket" famed for its description of unfairness, due to the gentle mental attitude of the game of cricket in days of yore, is now the subject of derision, now that the game is dominated by ferocity greed and skulduggery.Oh I nearly forgot Hatred. We often hear that crap about opposing sides being good mates off the field, personally I fin

Welfare Poem. I cross ocean, poor and broke, Take bus, to see employment folk. Nice man treat me good in there, Say I need to see welfare. Welfare say, "You come no more, We send cash right to your door." Welfare cheques, they make you wealthy, Medic aid it keep you healthy! By and by, I got plenty money, Thanks to you, Australian dummy. Write to friends in motherland, Tell them 'come fast as you can.' They come in turbans and Ford trucks, I buy big house with welfare bucks They come here, we live together, More welfare checks -- it gets better! Fourteen families, they moving in, But neighbour's patience wearing thin. Finally, white guy moves away, Now I buy his house, and then I say, "Find more aliens for house to rent." And in the yard I put a tent. Send for family they just trash, But they, too, draw the welfare cash! Everything is very good, And soon we own the neighbourhood. We have hobby, it's called breeding, Welfare pay for baby feeding. Kids
