As you know, English singer Robbie Williams,35, proposed to his Turkish American girlfriend Ayda Field, 30, while visiting an Australian radio show.  It seems they both now want to keep it private as both are hiding their engagement.  Williams posted a note on his website saying:

“Robbie And Ayda: Are They Or Aren’t They? Hey all. We are not engaged. Rob.”

However, his mother said they are engaged and Miss Field tried her best to hide her engagement finger while together at the Los Angeles airport.  She’s smart because she kept her hand hidden the whole time. The paparazzi couldn’t catch a thing.

So whatever the case may be, who the heck is Ayda Field? She managed to get England’s most eligible bachelor to propose, so let’s find out about her, shall we?

Name: Ayda S. Evecan

Birth: May 17, 1979 in Los Angeles, California

Parents: Both parents split up when she was young. Her dad lives in Turkey. She’s not close to her dad and that’s why she opted to use her mother’s last name – Field instead of Evecan. Her mother’s been divorced twice.

Occupation: Television actress

Education: Harvard-Westlake School, Duke University (International Political Science & Economics major)

Languages: She speaks an impressive four languages! English, Turkish, French and Italian

TV Appearances: Days of our Lives (soap opera), Blue Collar TV, Eve, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, Back to You, Making it Legal (sitcom pilot), and others

Might As Well Just Totally Ban It !!!!

The legal drink-drive limit is being examined for a possible change

The government has asked a legal expert to examine the case for lowering the legal alcohol limit for drivers and tightening the laws on drug-driving.

Sir Peter North will give a report of his independent research to Transport Secretary Lord Adonis before April. The current limit is 80 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood, but there has been support for a lowering of the limit to 50 milligrams. The government is launching a £1.2m Christmas anti-drink-drive campaign. Lord Adonis said: “Road safety has improved significantly in recent years – 1,000 fewer people now die on the roads in a year than in the mid-1990s – and Britain now has one of the safest road systems in the world. “But we need to cut further the number of tragedies on our roads. Drink-driving killed 430 people last year, and research suggests drug-driving is a key concern for the public.” Lord Adonis also said that there “may be a case for further strengthening the law”.

Sir Peter said: “Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs still leads to a large number of deaths and serious injuries. The challenge is to see whether changes in the law and its processes can reduce casualties. “The legal and practical issues are not easy to resolve, but I intend to consult widely on these matters.”

Is this the UK’s worst Christmas tree? Villagers slam 4ft ‘bush’ a disgrace

When the villagers of Sacriston bagged an Only Fools and Horses star to switch on their Christmas lights they could have been forgiven for thinking they would be in for a spectacular display.In the centre of the village a wire frame festooned with lights was supposed to protect the centrepiece of the display.But on Monday, as the festive lights were flicked on by Only Fools and Horses star John Challis, who played Boycie, and James Baxter, who played Jake Doland in  Emmerdale, villagers looked on aghast at the four-foot ‘bush’ they were confronted with.

According to one councillor the tree had looked slightly more imposing but the tip snapped off in a storm just after it was planted two weeks ago.Village resident John Meek, 72, a retired entertainer, said: ‘I used to be the chairman of the parish council. This tree is an insult to the people of Sacriston.’Yesterday someone asked me if I’d seen it – I said I hadn’t. He told me I’d better come down and see it for myself. ‘It’s a disgrace. If it isn’t looked after it’s going to look worse than what  it does now. ‘The council were saying the tree will grow, but that’s an insult to the intelligence of the people. Do they think we are ignorant? ‘Anyone who has ever held a spade knows the tree isn’t going to grow any bigger.’The growing tip of the tree has gone, and all that will happen is the branches will grow out, it will get wider and look a mess. It’s beyond belief.’Normally the council put a string of lights around trees, so this is the first  year we’ve had a Christmas tree. Not that you can call it that.’Another resident who did not want to be named said: It’s certainly got people talking. I personally think it looks awful – it’s more like a bush.

‘I thought it was a joke when I saw how high the lights were above it. It’s definitely a focal point. They say it will grow, but I doubt that.’Another added: ‘I hope it grows into the frame. There’s other things to worry about that are more important I suppose. The main thing is that we have a Christmas tree.’Allen Turner, Sacriston Parish Councillor, defended the tree and said it was  small because it had been damaged in strong winds.He said: ‘It’s the first time the village has had a living tree and it was always going to be small to start with.’The weather was horrendous a couple of weeks ago and the tree was damaged – part of it snapped off at the top.’If that hadn’t happened the tree would have fitted in the frame better.’The tree will grow and will be there for many years to come.’I have spoken to many villagers and the vast majority are positive about it.’Mr Challis said at the switch-on: ‘Sacriston seems a lovely place and it’s an honour to turn the Christmas lights on to mark the start of the festivities.’

WORDS FAIL ME !!!!

Boy, two, is snatched by social workers after mother refused doctor’s advice to feed him junk food

Like many toddlers, Zak Hessey was a fussy eater who refused his mother’s healthy home cooking.Concerned about his falling weight, his parents sought the advice of doctors. That simple act triggered a shocking chain of events that led to the youngster being put into foster care for four months.Paul and Lisa Hessey believe in the long-term benefits of healthy eating and rejected advice to feed their two-year-old son high-calorie snack food such as chocolate, crisps and cakes.

To their horror, social workers put Zak into foster care ‘to assess his needs’ and allegedly threatened the couple with the loss of their parental rights if they fought the decision in court.’I was absolutely devastated, I broke down in tears,’ recalled Mrs Hessey, 48. ‘I was scared out of my wits. I phoned Paul to tell him and he just broke down on the phone.’But they went to court and, after four months, Zak returned home with the blessing of social services, who accepted he had good and caring parents.Zak is now putting on some weight, but his eating problems were not cured by his time in the care of ‘experts’ and, much to the annoyance of his parents, he has acquired a taste for junk food.Mrs Hessey, of Bolsover, near Chesterfield, said: ‘I thought I was doing the right thing going to the best people for advice when Zak began to lose weight.

‘Instead they basically accused me of neglecting him and implied it was all my fault. I have four other children and they are perfectly healthy, it was just that Zak was refusing food for some reason. They said I should just feed Zak chocolate, cakes and junk food just to get calories into him. But I objected, saying that was only a short-term answer and not a proper solution.’The Government and doctors are always drumming into parents the importance of healthy eating – yet they were telling us to feed Zak all the wrong things.’That is obviously what they were doing when he was in foster care so now it is hard to get him to eat anything else.’Mrs Hessey and her 48-year-old husband, a lorry driver, took Zak to see a paediatrician at Chesterfield Royal Hospital in July. He was 20 months old and weighed 1st 3lb.Mrs Hessey, whose four other children are under ten, said she was happy for Zak to be admitted for a two-week hospital assessment and was hit by a thunderbolt when she went to collect him on July 24.She was taken into a room with a nurse and social worker who apparently told her: ‘We would like Zak to go into foster care to assess how he feeds. You have legal rights but be warned if you oppose this we will go straight to court and have all your parental rights taken away.’Mrs Hessey said: ‘They kept saying, “If you love Zak and you want the best for him then you’ll agree to this”. They said we had been negative about eating. That was because they had been telling us we should feed Zak crisps, chocolate and cakes to get calories into him.’I was questioning that approach. We eat proper home-made food at our house and just have chocolate and cakes as a treat.’

She agreed to Zak going into care after hearing to the possible repercussions if she objected. Initially she and her husband couldn’t see Zak for six days.After hiring a solicitor, they were allowed three hours a day with him during the week in the company of a social worker.The first hearing before the family court in Derby was on September 2 and the case was adjourned for two weeks. Interim care orders were imposed and Zak returned home following a third court hearing on November 18. By this stage social workers had lifted their objections – and he had put on only 1lb.Mrs Hessey said: ‘Social services did a complete about turn. They admitted that in foster care Zak was exactly the same with his food as he was at home.’They said we were very good parents. I still find it hard to come to terms with how we have been treated.’ Derbyshire County Council said: ‘We only take a child into our care either with the consent of the parents or following very careful consideration by a court.’A spokesman for Chesterfield Royal Hospital said: ‘While we understand Mr and Mrs Hessey’s distress, Zak’s welfare was paramount and we believe we acted in his best interest.’

Nazi victim speaks out from beyond the grave at trial of ‘SS death camp guard’

A letter thrown from a train taking more than 2,500 Jews to an extermination camp 66 years ago has surfaced at the trial of an alleged SS guard. Emmy Cortisos wrote the letter three days before a Nazi overseer shoved her at bayonet-point into the gas chamber at Sobibor in Poland. And yesterday the man who may have pushed her to her death sat less than 6ft away from her son at a Munich court.

Victim Emmy Cortisos’s letter was read at the trial of John Denjanjuk

John Demjanjuk is accused of being an accessory to the murders of 27,900 people, including Mrs Cortisos. But the 89-year-old showed no emotion as Rudolf Salomon Cortisos, 70, broke down in tears when testimony began at the trial yesterday.

Mr Cortisos told the court that his mother’s letter and a perfume bottle that once belonged to her were his most treasured possessions.’The letter is the last thing I have of her, the last note that she put her thoughts down about us,’ he said.Mr Cortisos is one of a number of witnesses who lost loved ones in Sobibor during the months that prosecutors in Munich allege Ukrainian-born Demjanjuk worked at the camp.

Emmy Cortisos was asthmatic and left her flat in Amsterdam on a May evening in 1943 to get some fresh air. She was picked up on the street by the Nazi authorities and never seen again by her family. Her husband and son were already in hiding with a Roman Catholic family in the city and the plan was for her to join them. She never did. On May 17 she wrote her letter, addressed to Greet Knuyt, the woman sheltering her family. She wrote: ‘I am on a train taking us east to work with 2,500 others. It will be tough, I will definitely survive. There is nothing that can be done about this. ‘I love you all and will think of you throughout the times ahead. I am certain everything will be all right. Please think of me. ‘Give my love to my husband and my son, tell them I am all right. And give my love to my cousin on her birthday. Greetings to all, see you soon, lots and lots of kisses, Emmy.’ Three days later the train was in Sobibor. An hour after she arrived at the camp, Mrs Cortisos was dead. Her son told the court: ‘The letter was thrown from the train somewhere in Holland. ‘My mother had left a note asking whoever found it to post it on to Greet. Someone did. My father never spoke about it. He died in 1959 and I found it in his possession. ‘Not a day goes by when I don’t read it. It breaks my heart but it gives me strength too. ‘I wanted some emotional connection with Demjanjuk but I never got one. I only saw a cold, cold man. Did he kill my mother? Perhaps he did.’ Demjanjuk, who was tried and cleared in Israel in 1993 of being a guard at another extermination centre, neither confirms nor denies he was a volunteer with the SS. If convicted of the charges he could face 15 years in jail.

The case continues.

Bianca loses temper on her wedding day as Ricky invites along her estranged mother

Ten years after they were ripped apart by Bianca’s affair with her mother Carol’s boyfriend Dan, the Jackson family are back together again.Carol (Lindsey Coulson), Sonia (Natalie Cassidy) and Robbie (Dean Gaffney) return to Albert Square to see Bianca (Patsy Palmer) marry Ricky Butcher (Sid Owen) for the second time. The whole Jackson clan were pictured dressed in their bridal party costumes as they filmed the wedding day at a London church yesterday.But while Bianca is delighted to be back together with her siblings Robbie and Sonia, she is furious to learn Ricky has invited her estranged mother Carol.

As Bianca and Ricky prepare to say their vows for the second time, the feisty redhead is stunned to see her mother Carol arrive at the church after ten years’ estrangement.The two women confront each other in the churchyard and their traded barbs soon escalate to violence.Despite Bianca looking stunning in a white halterneck wedding dress, she ends up tussling with her mother.Carol turns to leave, the bad-tempered bride demands she doesn’t walk away and shoves her.

As Carol turns around, she ends up knocking Bianca on to the grass and dirtying her white gown.Fortunately Billy Mitchell (Perry Fenwick) intervenes before the fight escalates any further.Carol hasn’t been seen in Walford since she discovered her boyfriend Dan had been having an affair with Bianca – who was still married to Ricky at the time.She forced her daughter to confess their affair to a heartbroken Ricky, who promptly left Bianca.Second time lucky? Ricky Butcher (Sid Owen) is hoping his second marriage to Bianca will be more successfulWhile Carol is an unwelcome guest at the wedding, Bianca invited her siblings Sonia and Robbie to share her special day.With her estranged father David Wicks apparently still living in Australia, Bianca asked her brother Robbie – who left Walford in 2003 to start a new life in India – to giver her away at the wedding.

Joining her daughters Whitney (Shona McGarty) and Tiffany (Maisie Smith) as bridesmaids is Bianca’s little sister Sonia Fowler, who has been living in Manchester with husband Martin and their daughter Rebecca.

Top toy testers: Kids test this year’s top ten Christmas must-haves

With just 22 shopping days to go to Christmas, the race is on to find toys that won’t be dumped minutes after being unwrapped.While the toy shops’ and manufacturers’ lists of this year’s must-haves grow ever longer, it’s the children who will decide if a present goes into the toy box or straight on to eBay.So we sent a panel of kids to Tesco to test the chain’s 10 bestsellers to see which they liked most. We also checked how often the toy was played with, to work out the price per play and whether it represented value for money.Our group of six to 10-year-olds from the Cathedral School of St Saviour and St Mary Overy in South London spent a week putting the items through their paces.

And with a price range from under £7 to almost £40, we found that the cheapest toy didn’t always offer the best deal.Monopoly City, Barbie and Gator Golf were the most played  with, followed by Iggle Piggle from hit BBC kids’ show In the Night Garden and Peppa Pig’s Palace.

Meanwhile, Star Wars Lego was bottom of the pile for the play factor and was worst value for money, too. The great news for parents is that our panel’s top five toys worked out at less than 20p per play.Nick Cook, Tesco’s toy expert, says: “We understand that at Christmas parents try to keep costs down while making sure they give their children the gifts they really want.

“The kids’ testing panel has given us a greater insight into the toys that children want to play with again and again.”

Battle Strikers Turbo Tops, £6.47. Cost per play 40p.Tadiwa Lusengo, age nine: “I like it, I’ve never had a toy like it before.”

Barbie Doggie Park, £21.97.Cost per play 9p.Emily Lo, age seven: “This is fun. The dog is quite noisy and barks loudly when you don’t expect him to.”

Monopoly City, £15.97. Cost per play 7p. Ife Ogunjobi, age nine: “It’s great and really enjoyable. I want to play it for ages.”

Fondant Cake Maker, £26.30. Cost per play 54p. Allison Reith, age 10: “It is colourful but hard to use at first. I’m using it to bake cakes with my mum’s help.”

Robbie Williams speaks of ‘profound sadness’ after his lodger is found hanged in woodland

Robbie Williams tonight spoke of his ‘profound sadness’ after a former lodger and friend was found hanged in woodland in an apparent suicide.The body of Aaron Vickers, 25, was discovered in an area of urban woodland on Monday morning.Hairdresser Mr Vickers had rented a small wooden cabin on William’s £8.5 million Wiltshire estate over the summer but moved out several months ago.He was suffering from financial problems.He had met Williams through a mutual friend, Jonathan Wilkes, during a recent visit to Los Angeles. Mr Vickers was apparently last seen by his boyfriend, Paul, at 1am on Monday when he said he was going for a walk.Seven hours later, his body was spotted by a 16-year-old girl who was on her way to work in Swindon, Wiltshire.The teenager, who did not wish to be identified, said: ‘I was on my way to work at 8am and was running late so I went through the woods. It was just getting light. I started crying but was frozen.’I have been a wreck all day – I can’t eat – it’s as though I am caught in a nightmare.’Williams, 35, is understood to be in the process of selling his seven bedroom country mansion after moving back to LA to live with his fiancee, Ayda Field.The star last night spoke of his ‘profound sadness’ at Mr Vickers’ death and revealed that the hairdresser lived on his estate for two months earlier this year.The pop star was at his US home in Los Angeles, California, when he learnt of the tragedy.The singer confirmed that Mr Vickers had stayed in a cabin on his Wiltshire estate earlier this year.Mr Williams also told how he had been introduced to Mr Vickers by actor Jonathan Wilkes, who has been the pop star’s best friend since they were teenagers and also lives in the Swindon area.

A statement from the pop star read: ‘Robbie Williams would like to express his profound sadness at the news of Aaron Vicker’s death, and sends his deepest condolences to Aaron’s partner, his family and his friends.‘Robbie did allow Aaron and his partner to stay in a property on his estate for a period of two months this spring.’However, Aaron was not employed by Robbie as his hairdresser and their acquaintance came about through mutual friends Jonathan and Nikki Wilkes.’Mr Williams bought the mansion – complete with a helicopter hangar, temples and fountains – in February.  But he has decided to move back to the States because he didn’t like the British weather.

Williams is in the process of selling his Wiltshire property after moving back to Los Angeles to comfort his girlfriend

Aaron was working at Knock-em-Dead hairdressers in Swindon, at the time of his death.

Mick Green, who works at the shop, said: ‘Aaron was a larger than life character who touched everyone he met.’When we all found out everyone was devastated we closed the shop and went home.’He was so popular, vibrant and super creative. This is such a waste. He had a big clientele and was always very busy. He had been working here since he was 19.’Jane Jennings, of JJs Hair Group in Swindon, said: ‘Aaron worked as a trainee and colourist for me a good few years ago now.’I'm so shocked to hear what happened and so sorry for his family and loved ones. He was a unique person, a real character. He had a striking image – his hair was always amazing.’I saw him recently from time-to-time. I know he and his partner were living on Robbie’s estate for a while before recently moving off the land.’They met through a mutual friend and Aaron would cut his hair.’A spokesman for Wiltshire Police said: ‘It is not believed there are any suspicious circumstances surrounding the death but as enquiries are still ongoing it would not be appropriate to comment further.’Yesterday it emerged that Mr Vickers was declared bankrupt earlier this year.A source claiming to be close to the family said the hairdresser had moved out of Williams’ estate following a disagreement but that it was not directly between Mr Vickers and the pop star.It also emerged that Mr Vickers had not cut Mr Williams’ hair on a regular basis.

I’m A Celebrity: ‘Starving’ stars lose an average 18lbs… as Stuart Manning leaves the jungle

They spend their days moaning about the lack of food, with their only distraction  excursions to try to win more in bushtucker trials.But while the jungle rations may not be good for morale, they have done much for the I’m A Celebrity contestants’ figures.The five final competitors have lost a total of 91lbs, more than a stone each, in just 18 days.

The biggest loser is snooker player Jimmy White, whose weight dropped 1st 8lb, from 15st 10lb to 14st 2lb.He was shocked, and vowed to keep the weight off, declaring: ‘So I’ve lost eleven bags of sugar?’Close behind him was interior designer Justin Ryan, who lost 1st 7lb, to drop from 13st 10lb to 12st 3lb.He was clearly thrilled, commenting: ‘Oh my god, have you any idea how much I’ve spent on milkshake drinks!’

Delighted cleaner Kim Woodburn lost the same, dropping from 14st 11lb to 13st 4lb.Even petite chef Gino D’Acampo shed weight, dropping 1st 4lb from 11st 11lb to 10st 7lb.He told the group it was because of his ‘Italian diet’.And Hollyoaks actor Stuart Manning, who was voted out of the camp on last night’s show, lost 1st 2lb. His weight fell from 12st 2lb to 11st.

All the group were clearly delighted with their weight loss, but that didn’t mean they were more accepting of their limited diet.After Kim and Jimmy completed a celebrity chest the group finally managed to answer the question correctly.They were rewarded with cream teas.

But when only three scones arrived, to be shared between five celebrities, it sparked a revolution.The celebrities threw down their microphones in rage, confronted producers and threatened a mutiny.They were incensed they didn’t have a whole scone each and that they were served without tea.

Gino led the revolt by storming into the Bush Telegraph: ‘We won a cream tea, this is my ultimatum: I want five scones with jam and cream and I want tea.’If I don’t get that I will convince everybody to take the mike off and don’t come here till the end of the day.’Kim and Justin then burst into the Bush Telegraph and repeated the demands.’Three scones is not a cream tea, we’re putting our mikes down and we’re not putting them on again until we get what we want,’ shouted Kim.Gino was showered in rotting fruit and insects during the bushtucker trial

‘We want five big scones, plenty of cream and plenty of jam with lots of tea, milk and sugar so we can have a second cup if we want. If we don’t get it we don’t play ball.’Eventually, producers told the celebrities that as a result of them failing on so many celebrity chest questions, they could have a scone each and tea on this one occasion.The bushtucker trial also had a food theme. Gino and Justin had to race around the jungle supermarket looking for stars inside bags and boxes of rotten food, laced with insects.They found three out of five, and were rewarded with emu meat.

Last night saw Stuart voted out the jungle.He said he was ‘disappointed’ to leave, but looking forward to seeing his family.But all Ant and Dec really wanted to know about was his relationship with former campmate Sabrina Washington.Stuart remained tight-lipped, simply admitting: ‘She’s a lovely girl.’And when questioned about whether he would see her again, he refused to answer.’I'm going to speak to everyone when they come out,’ he said. ‘They’re all my friends. We’re the same age bracket. We’re just good friends, good friends.’

Thick Reptile

Snake in a bind after eating its own tail

A pet snake got itself in a bit of a bind after it mistook its own tail for a tasty dinner.Reggie the King snake soon realised his mistake after chomping down on his back end but then couldn’t release himself after his teeth had taken hold.This snake’s owner rushed the hungry reptile to the vet after it lunge at its own tailLuckily the hungry reptile’s owner arrived on the scene before the snake began to digest its own body, and rushed him to the vet. ‘Its backward facing teeth were acting like a ratchet,’ vet Bob Reynolds from Faygate, West Sussex told the Mail Online.’The snake had also dislocated its jaw in its attempt to get its mouth around the tail and this isn’t easy to reverse.’Mr Reynolds was able to gently untangle Reggie by prising its jaws open a little wider and sliding the teeth off the flesh using a probe. The whole operation took only half an hour.’I have never seen a case like it, although I have head about it happening,’ the reptiles expert said.’There is a temptation for a snake-eater like this one to lunge at its own tail, especially if kept in a small enclosure. They can’t spread themselves out and think their tails are another snake.’Vet Bob Reynolds was able to untangle the distressed reptileLuckily the tip of the 18-year-old snake’s tail hadn’t entered its stomach so it hadn’t come to any harm. All Reggie was left nursing was perhaps wounded pride.King snakes range from southern Canada down to South America. They can grow up to seven feet and live up to 20 years in the wild, but can live much longer as pets.The constrictors hunt a variety of prey from rodents to birds and other snakes… and at times even themselves.

Drug smuggler who swallowed 67 packages of cocaine caught because of his bulging belly

A drug smuggler swallowed 67 packages of cocaine in an attempt to get through British customs. Student Fidelis Ozouli, 30, risked his life trying to hide the 1kg haul of the class A substance in his stomach. He later claimed he did not know the packets contained drugs. Officers at Manchester Airport became suspicious because Ozouli looked unnaturally bloated.  They carried out X-rays on his stomach and discovered a quantity of cocaine equivalent to two bags of sugar. It is one of the largest amounts ever found internally by UK customs officers. The drug, hidden inside scores of condoms, was 78 per cent pure and had a street value of £250,000. Ozouli left officials and a court baffled by claiming: ‘I didn’t know they were drugs.’ He added: ‘I just did not know what they were. I thought I was swallowing something else to take into Britain as a favour for a pal.’ At Manchester Crown Court, Ozouli, who is from Nigeria but lives and studies in London, pleaded guilty to importing class A drugs and was jailed for ten years – but continued to deny knowing what the haul was. Judge Thomas Gilbart QC told him: ‘I do not accept your evidence and do not believe it is credible. ‘The story is fantastical and I don’t believe a word of it. This was a calculated decision on your part to solve your money worries.’ Ozouli, of Kennington, South London, was stopped by UK Border Agency officers on his arrival at Manchester from Switzerland on September 5. He claimed he was on a business trip from Zurich on behalf of a pharmaceuticals company but inquiries revealed he had taken a lengthy and unusual route back to the UK from countries in Africa. He was arrested and the case was passed to customs officers who interviewed him. Later he was taken to a nearby hospital where he was X-rayed to ensure all the packages had been recovered.

Mike O’Grady, assistant director of criminal investigation for Revenue and Customs said yesterday: ‘Forensic tests showed that the purity of this cocaine is significantly above what we would normally find. ‘Swallowing any drugs puts the courier at risk, but with purity levels this high he was putting himself at considerable risk of death. ‘Criminals dealing in drugs with high purity levels are thinking solely of increased profits, to further fund their illegal activity.

Mr O’Grady added: ‘They show utter disregard for the damage drugs do to individuals and communities. ‘Customs is working closely with our partners in the UK Border Agency, police and other law enforcement agencies such as the Serious Organised Crime Agency to protect the public from the significant and damaging effect drugs have on our communities.’ The biggest ever recorded haul of cocaine found in a smuggler’s stomach in Britain was 1.5kg found inside 39 packages in 2003.

2 Lucky Guys

The independent Treasure Valuation Committee reached the figure after meeting at the museum.

The money will be split equally between the finder Terry Herbert and the landowner Fred Johnson, the museum said.The two men and the two museums which hope to acquire the hoard, Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery and the Potteries Museum & Art Gallery in Stoke-on-Trent, have all approved the valuation, a spokesman added.Professor Norman Palmer, chairman of the Government-appointed committee, said: “The task of valuing this hoard required the Treasure Valuation Committee to analyse a very large amount of information in order to arrive at a fair market price and I am personally indebted to my fellow members whose energy and expertise made this result possible in so short a time.”He added: “All finders of treasure can take encouragement that the most valuable treasure find ever made was dealt with so speedily and yet so scrupulously by all parties concerned, given that the hoard was discovered only in July.”It is of course immensely important that this extraordinary hoard is acquired for public benefit and I know that the two museums are anxious to raise the funding to keep the hoard in the West Midlands as soon as they can.”

A fundraising campaign is being launched to help the two museums buy the hoard, highlights of which are currently on display at the British Museum in London.British Museum Press has published a book about the find, called The Staffordshire Hoard, and £1 from every sale is going to the appeal fund.A selection of objects from the hoard will also go on display at the Potteries Museum & Art Gallery from February 13 to March 7 next year.Mr Herbert, 55, from Burntwood, Staffs, a jobless council tenant on disability benefit, discovered the hoard while searching the field near the M6 toll road between Lichfield and Tamworth on July 5 using his 14 year old metal detector.He has described unearthing the treasure as “more fun than winning the lottery” and said he hopes to buy a bungalow with some of his windfall.Mr Johnson, 65, described the valuation as a “fair and reasonable figure”.He said: “The public have to raise that money and I don’t think we could have expected anything more.”The haul of over one thousand items – most of it gold and silver and thought to date back to between 675 and 725AD – has been hailed as a hugely important find.Experts believe it was buried at the site by its owners at a time of danger and then never recovered.

Horrendous

Ten students at North Naples Middle School were sent home for a day after a girl told the head teacher that she believed she had been kicked for being Jewish, prompting further instances to come to light. Florida passed strict anti-bullying laws last year and schools that do not do enough to stop it risk losing their state funding. Margaret Jackson, the school’s head teacher, has responded to the kicking incident by setting aside the first 20 minutes of each day to teaching students – aged 12 to 15 – about kindness, respect and ways of preventing bullying. David Barkey of the Florida Anti-Defamation League said the organisation had been consulted over the incident. “You are talking about an incident that has anti-Jewish bias if not anti-semitism. You have Jewish students being singled out, harassed and assaulted,” he said. Last year, four pupils were suspended from a middle school in St Louis over a “Hit a Jew Day” in which one Jewish student was slapped in the face. The “day” had been the culmination of a “Spirit Week” organised by pupils which included “Hug a Friend Day” and “Hit a Tall Person Day”.Some believe the idea for such behaviour originally came from the satirical cartoon show South Park which featured a “Kick a Ginger Day” in an episode.

Mad…But Very Sad

The 55-year-old man from a small town in the central province of Quang Nam opened up his wife’s grave in 2004, moulded clay around the remains to give the figure of a woman, put clothes on her and then placed her in his bed, Vietnamnet.vn said. The man, Le Van, told the website that after his wife died in 2003 he slept on top of her grave, but about 20 months later he worried about rain, wind and cold, so he decided to dig a tunnel into the grave “to sleep with her”. His children found out, though, and prevented him from going to the grave. So one night in November 2004 he dug up his wife’s remains and took them home, Vietnamnet reported. The father of seven said neighbours did not dare visit the house for several years.”I’m a person that does things differently. I’m not like normal people,” he was quoted as saying.

Princess of whales: A diver’s magical encounter with a smiling giant of the Arctic deep

Hitching a ride on a Beluga whale’s back, a daring diver glides through the icy waters of the Arctic.In an extraordinarily rare encounter between a human and this beautiful giant of the deep, the white whale is perfectly at ease with her new companion – and even appears to be smiling.Which is just as well – as no one really knew how the Beluga would react to human company before Julia Petrik made this dazzling dive.

For these muscular 16ft whales can get agitated if subjected to unwanted contact and aggressively defend themselves.Thankfully, this magnificent individual was only too happy to let Miss Petrik gently cling on to him and took her for a spin through the deep.The incredible pictures were shot beneath the pack ice in Russia’s White Sea, where a pod of the magnificent Belugas are being studied for a conservation programme.Miss Petrik is an expert free diver and is able to hold her breath for minutes at a time. This avoids the need to use bulky scuba tanks, which release bubbles that can disorientate the whales.

The lack of kit also gives her more freedom to move and synchronise her movements with the whale. The only downside is that free diving in icy cold water takes a heavy toll on the diver’s respiratory system.Julia Petrik had to saw through more than a foot of solid ice just to reach the freezing water below and wears a thick rubber suit to guard against the extreme conditions.Beluga whales – the name is Russian for ‘the white one’ – can survive here because they are able to use their powerful bulk to butt through the ice to breathe oxygen, before submerging once again into the abyss.Their domed foreheads contain a waxy substance, thought to be involved in their ability to communicate.They ‘chatter’ by whistling to each other – so much so that sailors and fishermen call them the ’sea canaries’.Divers can spend weeks searching for Belugas in the wild, but some of the whales are being kept in a large netted enclosure to be studied. Due to its high salinity, the water here freezes at a lower temperature than fresh water and can drop to a bone-chilling minus 2c. But Julia Petrik, given the ride of her life by this giant of the deep, soon forgot about the cold and was having a whale of time.

And in In The Jungle…..

I’m A Celebrity: Is this the most vile trial ever as Kim and Joe drink pulped kangaroo anus and cockroach juice?

Kim Woodburn and Joe Bugner were seen last night taking part in one of the most vile and stomach-retching trials the campmates have ever seen.They had to drink pulped cockroaches, pureed kangaroo anus and pulped crocodile foreskin during the Jungle Arms task.

TV presenter Kim took offence at being voted to do yet another and said: ‘You are very mean, it’s my fourth one – it’s a test of my mettle.’

Down the hatch: Kim Woodburn downs a shot full of pulped witchetty grub… then retches…

…and is sick, leaving her with slime down her chin

The first drink was Castlemaine Four Legs, a combination of pulped cockroaches and mealworms with a couple of live cockroaches as a garnish.The pair toasted each other and attempted to drink the vile mixture. But while retired boxer Joe seemed to have no trouble downing the drinks, and even seemed to like them, Kim stuggled.The second round was ‘Foreskin and Tonic’.Host Ant McPartlin told them: ‘This is pulped crocodile foreskin, garnished with a crocodile penis stirrer, once again each one is worth one star. You only have to drink the drink.’

Joe swiftly drank his, but it took Kim several goes. She branded it ‘vile’ while Joe said it merely tasted like washing-up liquid and then pretended to use the penis stirrers as fangs.’You have to pull yourself together. You’re crackers,’ Kim snapped at him.Their third round was Bum and Cokes -  pulped kangaroo anus and water.But while Joe thought it tasted like popcorn, Kim admitted it was more like ‘very sour rotten water that had pee in it’.Their fourth round was Croc-Tail – pulped crocodile tail with a croc tail stirrer.

‘The smell is atrocious, it smells like poo. The smell is so bad you could die,’ said Kim as she gagged on the drink.For the fifth and final round, Joe downed an Eye-ball – a glass of crushed crocodile eyes.But Kim had to drink a Sam-Puka – pulped Witchetty grub. She managed to drink the shot glass-full but then gagged and threw up the slimy mixture to the delight and disgust of Ant and Dec.’I’ve sicked a little bit but not much,’ she confessed.

But Ant told her: ‘We can’t take that one, will you give it another go?’Joe offered to do it for her, but was not allowed and she finally downed it after telling Ant and Dec ‘Boys: Stand aside. This is repulsing me.’The pair won all nine stars for the campmates plus an extra treat of chocolate.Joe said afterward: ‘It was disgusting but if I had to live on it, I would.’But Kim added: ‘If I had to live on it, I’d hang myself from the nearest tree.’Meanwhile the campmates are determined that actor Stuart Manning and singer Sabrina Walsh begin a romance in the jungle.Gino D’Acampo has been the chief teaser and is convinced that they fancy each other.He joked to Stuart that he thought the actor had dreamt he’d bought a new car because he kept calling out ‘Sab, Sab!’

But the pair deny anything is going on.

The two sat together on the love seat and Stuart said to her: ‘We’re just good mates, I’d understand it if I was always trying to touch you or something but nothing has happened at all.’People are obsessed, two people have got to get together – why are they so intrigued? I’m not in it to have a relationship.’And while Sabrina smiled and coyly agreed, she did look a little disappointed… Until Stuart asked her: ‘Do you want to lie down?’

Night task: Sabrina and Gino had to stay awake all night after drinking beer and eating sausages in order to turn back the hands on a clock and win a chest

She laughed it off but the glances between them continued.Sabrina said in the bush telegraph: ‘I don’t know what they are trying to do but I think it’s hilarious and I get on with Stuart just like everyone else.’Gino, in an impish mood, then starting singing Let’s Get It On as Sabrina was pushed by the campmates to massage Stuart.The chef said in the bush telegraph: ‘I know that they fancy each other. They know they are being watched by everyone so they are probably not realising their love at the moment but I know it’s there!’

Gino and Sabrina also completed an overnight challenge to win a celebrity chest for the group.They had to trek through the jungle, walk along a tightrope across a ravine and then stay awake all night in order to win treats for camp.They were given sausages and beer for the evening and spent the time staying awake in shifts, trying to prevent the hands of a clock ticking for more than 30 minutes.Inside the chest were tins of food for the camp, including a can of Spam which Gino cooked up.

Justin said: ‘Who knew that a staple tin of spam could send the entire camp into such rhapsodies.’Meanwhile George Hamilton has been regaling the campmates with tales of his famous friends such as Frank Sinatra, Anthony Hopkins, former lover Sharon Stone, Marilyn Monroe and even Puff Daddy.He said: ‘Elizabeth Taylor, we went out together, we worked together.  Elizabeth is an extraordinary human being and she’s an amazing friend.’And he added: ‘[David] Niven said one of the best things about Errol Flynn ever.  He said you can always count on Errol Flynn to let you down.’

Jimmy White asked George about Marilyn Monroe. He said:  ‘You went on a date with her didn’t you George?’George said: ‘Yeah, she was forever getting ready.  She’d come out and she’d say does my hair look… and she’d go back fiddle with the hair some more.’He told Sabrina that he was a friend of Puff Daddy. He said: ‘Puffy’s a very good friend of mine.  Puffy’s a really good friend.  I like him a lot.  Do you want me to speak to him.  Would you like that?’And he said: ‘My first movie with Robert Mitchum, he said “You know they say I don’t know any lines.”  He says, “It’s not true.  I’m just too drunk to say ‘em.”‘Meanwhile, one of three celebrities will be voted off on tonight’s show.Sam Fox, Sabrina Washington and Jimmy White were told they were all up for the vote.

The Future Mrs Robbie Williams ?

Absoloute Tw@t  They should amuptate his limbs !!!!

Uncle of meningitis amputee toddler stole £315,000 from her trust fund to pay for holidays… leaving just £239

Claims he didn’t know the £250,000 worth of cocaine capsules found in his stomach was drugs…..What a Di**head !!!

Drug smuggler who swallowed 67 packages of cocaine caught because of his bulging belly

A drug smuggler swallowed 67 packages of cocaine in an attempt to get through British customs. Student Fidelis Ozouli, 30, risked his life trying to hide the 1kg haul of the class A substance in his stomach. He later claimed he did not know the packets contained drugs. Officers at Manchester Airport became suspicious because Ozouli looked unnaturally bloated.  They carried out X-rays on his stomach and discovered a quantity of cocaine equivalent to two bags of sugar. It is one of the largest amounts ever found internally by UK customs officers. The drug, hidden inside scores of condoms, was 78 per cent pure and had a street value of £250,000. Ozouli left officials and a court baffled by claiming: ‘I didn’t know they were drugs.’ He added: ‘I just did not know what they were. I thought I was swallowing something else to take into Britain as a favour for a pal.’ At Manchester Crown Court, Ozouli, who is from Nigeria but lives and studies in London, pleaded guilty to importing class A drugs and was jailed for ten years – but continued to deny knowing what the haul was. Judge Thomas Gilbart QC told him: ‘I do not accept your evidence and do not believe it is credible. ‘The story is fantastical and I don’t believe a word of it. This was a calculated decision on your part to solve your money worries.’ Ozouli, of Kennington, South London, was stopped by UK Border Agency officers on his arrival at Manchester from Switzerland on September 5. He claimed he was on a business trip from Zurich on behalf of a pharmaceuticals company but inquiries revealed he had taken a lengthy and unusual route back to the UK from countries in Africa. He was arrested and the case was passed to customs officers who interviewed him. Later he was taken to a nearby hospital where he was X-rayed to ensure all the packages had been recovered.

Mike O’Grady, assistant director of criminal investigation for Revenue and Customs said yesterday: ‘Forensic tests showed that the purity of this cocaine is significantly above what we would normally find. ‘Swallowing any drugs puts the courier at risk, but with purity levels this high he was putting himself at considerable risk of death. ‘Criminals dealing in drugs with high purity levels are thinking solely of increased profits, to further fund their illegal activity.

Mr O’Grady added: ‘They show utter disregard for the damage drugs do to individuals and communities. ‘Customs is working closely with our partners in the UK Border Agency, police and other law enforcement agencies such as the Serious Organised Crime Agency to protect the public from the significant and damaging effect drugs have on our communities.’ The biggest ever recorded haul of cocaine found in a smuggler’s stomach in Britain was 1.5kg found inside 39 packages in 2003.

The Future Mrs Robbie Williams ?

Jag letade efter en rolig bild på Robbie Williams till det här inlägget och den jag hittade råkade innehålla Gisele Bundchen i underkläder. Hon har absolut ingenting att göra med artikeln, men kolla på henne. Man skulle kunna skriva om svenska kungafamiljernas släktträd under 1400-talet och ändå få människor intresserade av att läsa om man inkluderar den där kroppen. (Note to self: kom ihåg det här till examensarbetet!). Nyheten är att Robbie friade till sin flickvän Ayda Field på ett radioprogram.. igår? Jag tror att det var igår. Det var garanterat inte imorgon i alla fall. Hur som helst spelar det ingen roll för Robbie drev tydligen, och man måste älska en snubbe som under en livesändning får ett ja på frågan vill du gifta dig för att sedan säga att han drev. Killen har mer balls än Keno och Bingolotto kombinerat.

Robbie Williams and his girlfriend Ayda Field have arrived in Sydney where the Brit pop star is slated to perform at the ARIA Awards gala and the pair may even go house hunting.

The couple kept avoided speaking to the media as they headed to Harbourside hotel from the Sydney’’s International Airport.

However, it is speculated that the duo may look for a lovenest Down Under.

“I”m thinking of coming down there. I have been looking for places out in the Outback, maybe a farm,” News.com.au quoted Williams as saying, before the release of his latest album Reality Killed The Video Star.

Willims is scheduled to reintroduce himself to Aussie fans, as he croons at the Metro Theatre.

And ARIA Awards is certainly a big act for Williams, who is headlining the event.

Nach dem Mega-Flop seines letzten Albums „Rudebox“ und aufgrund seiner schweren Medikamentensucht, zog sich Robbie Williams vor fast drei Jahren komplett aus dem Rampenlicht zurück und verbrachte einige Wochen in einer Entzugsklinik. Es war fraglich, ob es ein Comeback überhaupt noch geben würde – die Gerüchteküche brodelte. Am Freitag überraschte Robbie dann aber mit einem (mehr oder weniger) spontanen Konzert in Berlin, wo ihm an die 10.000 Fans wieder zujubelten  – Robbie Williams is back!

40 Minuten und 7 Songs – genau so lange dauerte der Gratis-Gig von Robbie in Deutschland! Er spielte seine alten Hits, wie z.B. „Angel“, aber auch Songs wie „Bodies“, aus seinem neuen Album „Reality killed the Video Star“ (Release: 6.11.). Für alle die am Freitag nicht zufällig in Berlin waren, hier die Videos vom Spontan-Robbie-Gig:

Robbie ist jetzt zwar wieder in England, er wird aber schon am 5.11 zurück nach Deutschland kommen, denn er wird bei den EMA-Awards anwesend sein und tritt dann am 7.11 auch noch bei „Wetten dass…?“ auf. Es gibt Gerüchte, dass Robbie am 9.11 sogar beim „Fest der Freiheit“ am Brandenburger Tor ein Konzert geben wird – mal sehen, ob er wirklich dort auftauchen wird!

Der Ex-Take That-Sänger zählt sicherlich nicht zu den größten Sängern, aber ein bemerkenswerter Entertainer mit einem enormen Kampfgeist ist er allemal!

Since Ayda Field has refused his request in marriage, Robbie Williams is doing everything possible that his beloved girlfriend is not bored when they are together.
After visiting the X Factor contestants the past days, the two stopped at “Waterstone” for some shopping. While waiting in line, the singer was able to horrify and amuse his girlfriend in an interval of a few seconds.

Robbie Williams desperately wants to lead his current girlfriend, Ayda Field, at the altar! Badly for him, she refused the request to marry the singer!
Although it seems to love him as much, Ayda is not believing in marriage, perhaps because of his mother’s divorces.

“Ayda loves Robbie with all her heart and would do anything for him, less to go before the altar. The idea was born after the first months of relationship, representing a giant leap for Robbie, because he finally understood that he found his other half”, said a close associate of the singer.

Popstar Robbie Williams will seine Freundin Ayda Field heiraten. Er sagt, er nenne sie schon Frau Williams.

Williams kenne schon den Hochzeitstermin, wolle ihn aber nicht verraten. Er sagt, er habe seine Liebe gefunden.

Er sagt auch, sie hätten über Kinder nachgedacht. Er sei da nostalgisch geworden. Er habe sich verändert, aber nicht, weil sie es verlangt habe.

Por Claudio García, Dark Suns/Otra Voz

El cantante británico Robbie Williams (Take That) asegura que en la mansión donde actualmente reside con su esposa Ayda Field, vaga el espíritu de Catherine Parr, la última esposa de Enrique VIII.
“Creo que hay fantasmas. No he visto ni oído nada pero, definitivamente, he sentido algo“, comentó Robbie. “Es la vieja casa de Catherine Parr. De hecho, no estamos en la antigua casa, sino en su establo“.
Williams y Field viajaron de Los Ángeles a Londres para preparar el regreso musical del cantante. “No puedo creer que yo, con 35 años, haya comprado una casa de 500. Porque a los 26 ó 27 no habría elegido ni por asomo estar aquí o en cualquier sitio de los alrededores, pero es preciosa y la gente se ha portado muy bien con nosotros“.
Robbie siempre ha estado obsesionado con los temas paranormales. Debido a ello, se dedicó fielmente a la investigación ufológica, ya que afirma haber visto nada más y nada menos que tres OVNIs a lo largo de su vida.

Robbie Williams verzoent zich met zijn schoonmoeder. Schoonmoeder Gwen, de moeder van zijn vriendin Ayda Field, mag van hem komen inwonen op zijn nieuw landgoed in het Engelse Swindon. Ze houden er allebei van poker te spelen.

Robbie liet Gwen al verschillende keren overvliegen van Californië naar zijn stulpje in Wiltshire dat hij kocht voor zo’n 10 miljoen euro. Tot vroeg in de ochtend spelen ze dan samen poker.

Robbie wil zijn vriendin Ayda overhalen om zich met hem in Engeland te vestigen. Binnenkort moet hij er zijn nieuw comeback-album promoten en als hij de schoonmoeder kan paaien, dan misschien ook het ‘vrouwtje’.

Tijd geleden dat we iets van Robbie hebben gehoord laat staan dat we hem hebben gezien! Maar we spotted hem

én zijn vriendin op de luchthaven van Miami. Rob ziet er matig en moe uit, maar

zijn vriendin Ayda Field ziet er stukken beter uit! Ik wist dat hij een vriendin had (al enige tijd), maar wist niet hoe

ze eruit zag en hoe ze heette. Hieronder ziet Ayda er trouwens minder mooi uit.

Ik wist helemaal niet wie ze was, maar het blijkt dat ze een actrice is. Hopelijk krijgt ze Rob weer zover tot

het schrijven van mooie liedjes <3!

34-year-old singer Robbie Williams is convinced there are aliens under the water in California! He is currently planning a trip to the California coast to further investigate.

‘I heard about these sightings at Malibu of things going into the water,’ he says. ‘I thought it would be quite exciting to be on a very small object very high over the ocean floor knowing there might be something down there.

‘We’re renting some jet skis and we are going to go from Marina Del Rey to Catalina.’

The “we” that Robbie is referring to includes his girlfriend, Ayda Field, who is convinced that Robbie is onto something.

“It has changed my perspective on the world,” Anya reveals. ‘Once you’re exposed to it, it’s impossible to go back to thinking about things in the same way.’

Voorlopig lijkt Robbie Williams nog niet veel last te hebben van de crisis. Hij heeft namelijk een nieuw stulpje in Los Angeles gekocht voor het lieve bedrag van omgerekend 9 miljoen euro.

Het nieuwe huis van Robbie staat in een afgesloten gemeenschap: de Beverly Park Estate. Voor een kopje suiker kan hij nu langs bij Sylvester Stallone en Eddie Murphy: dat worden zijn nieuwe buren.

Het huis in mediterrane stijl heeft een enorme tuin, een zwembad en maar liefst zeven slaapkamers. De popster hoeft niet alleen van al die luxe te genieten. Hij gaat in het huis samenwonen met zijn knipperlichtvriendinnetje Ayda.

What is up with the British musicians lately ? George “I’m only going for a leak” Michael has been caught in a public toilet(AGAIN) and Robbie “beam me up” Williams wants to go UFO hunting. Hmm, either record sales suck or both are trying desperately to get out of their ridiculous record deals . Not everyone can be like Coldplay. So, lets start with the loo lizard. OK, for starters, at least he chose a more upmarket location to be sprung this time. That’s the up side. But dear George, surely you can get drugs from your muso mates.Talk to Amy. Fortunately George has been let off with a warning, so I am guessing these cops don’t want a nasty song written about them! Now Robbie, Robbie, Robbie who got caught in a unbreakable contract with his record company? You know, the biggest one ever in the whole entire world. It’s coming back to haunt you, isn’t it? Hmm, seems Robbie’s has ditched talking to angels and is hunting extraterrestrial beings instead. Longest girlfriend in awhile, Ayda Field, has had enough of Robbie’s alien obsession and given him the flick. One down, contract to go (or is that contact?).

Vrienden van Robbie Williams zeggen bezorgd te zijn over de pop zanger, die volgens hen hard op weg is om in een kluizenaar te veranderen. Williams woont sinds enige tijd om Los Angeles, waar hij aan nieuw materiaal zou moeten werken. Het schijnt echter dat hij zijn huis nauwelijks uitkomt. De pop zanger was voorheen een vaak geziene gast in het nachtclub circuit.

“Ik heb hem al dagen niet gezien of gesproken,” vertelde een anonieme vriend. “Bij onze laatste ontmoeting liep hij erbij als Robinson Crusoe, met een gigantische baard en een lijf dat dagenlang niet gewassen leek.”

De 34-jarige zanger verhuisde naar de Amerikaanse westkust toen zijn album Rudebox in 2006 met tegenvallende verkoopcijfers werd ontvangen. Hij zou niet alleen aan de druk van de roem willen ontsnappen die hem in zijn thuisland achtervolgt, maar ook kampen met depressies en een negatief zelfbeeld.

“Hoe langer ik weg ben van het publieke leven, hoe beter het me bevalt,” vertelde de Britse zanger begin dit jaar aan contactmusic.com. Hij benadrukte dat het allerminst zeker was of er binnenkort een nieuw album van hem zou verschijnen.

Het is evenmin zeker of hij nog samen is met zijn vriendinnetje, de actrice Ayda Field. In juni doken geruchten op dat Ayda hem had verlaten omdat Robbie alleen maar thuis TV wilde kijken. Maar misschien is Robbie gewoon zo verliefd op Ayda dat hij geen tijd meer heeft voor zijn vrienden!
