Prices can be pretty high these days, you can’t always
afford everything you want. We get it. That’s why haggling is a thing; it
pretty much never works, but occasionally you’ll get a couple of quid knocked
off just by asking. Or so we hear, we’ve never actually seen it happen. But a
man in Manchester liked his chances and thought he’d try asking for £1 off when
he tried to buy 2 bottles of beer.

Drunk Guy call 999 Repeatedly to Brag about his Sex Life
Repeatedly is probably an understatement. This guy called
them 30 TIMES over the course of 4
hours to let them know the ins and outs of his sexual endeavours. How bombed do
you have to be to think it’s a good idea to call emergency services for 4 hours
about what you get up to in the bedroom? Surely if you’re drunk enough to think
that’s a great plan, you’d be too drunk to actually execute it…
Surgeon Stamps his Initials on a Patients Liver
So, you’ve had to go into hospital for surgery. Not ideal,
but at least you’ll be operated on by someone qualified. As in someone
professional, who is responsible and knows what they’re doing. Someone who you
can trust to be digging around in all the squishy goo inside that makes you
work. Unfortunately, sometimes, someone you probably wouldn’t want messing
around with your vital organs manages to get in there anyway.
George Zimmerman Painting Sells For $100,099 on Ebay
The American gunman has sold his first painting on ebay for the whopping sum of $100,099.99.
George Zimmerman shot dead 17 year old American high school student Teyvon Martin in 2012 but was acquitted of the charge of manslaughter in June of this year. He shot the teen after allegedly acting in self-defense, following an altercation between the two that left him with head injuries.
The 30 year old has said he has found an outlet for the frustration and emotion caused by the court case, and the abuse he has received from it, in the form of art. And now some chump has paid over 100 grand for the "pleasure" of having the work hang in their house.
Zimmerman said on the ebay post attached to his work "First hand painted artwork by me, George Zimmerman. Everyone has been asking what I have been doing with myself. I found a creative, way to express myself, my emotions and the symbols that represent my experiences. My art work allows me to reflect, providing a therapeutic outlet and allows me to remain indoors; I hope you enjoy owning this piece as much as I enjoyed creating it. Your friend, George Zimmerman.”

The painting itself seems to be trying to show some level of patriotism but ultimately just strikes the eye as being really, really blue. Newscorpse.com has also gone so far as to call the "original" work, a copy, demonstrating that it could be a cold coloured copy of a Shutterstock picture.

As if having this piece of... art, in their house, the winning bidder number 96 (that's right, 96 people actually wanted this thing) will be having the painting hand delivered by Zimmerman himself, who has promised to bring the parcel in person.
Because what better way to start the new year than with a visit from a trigger happy "artist"!?
The sum that the painting has gone for is amazing given that works by legitimate artists such as Vincent Van Gogh have been sold for less money than that.
Yet, infamy is something that makes art by certain people, desirable to collectors. For example, Adolf Hitler was a total bastard, yet his drawings demand huge amounts at auction, with an individual work going for $42,200 and a collection of 15 for $100,000.
Considering the number of people who are aware of Hitler in comparison with the number who know Zimmerman, the price his painting fetched is astounding.
Comparing Zimmerman to Hitler is maybe taking it a bit far. But all I can say is that I really hope that person bought the painting with the intention of destroying it. Just because you have a paintbrush, doesn't make you a good artist. It can, however, make you very rich.

Def Leppard to Sue One Direction
If you’re lucky, you won’t have heard One Direction’s latest
tune, Midnight Memories. That said, you probably will have by the time you get
to the end of this article, because you’ll no doubt want to check for yourself.
That’s why I have to live with the fact I’ve heard it three times now.

Scam Bait; Gazz Wood vs Ban Ki Moon
Like many people, I have a real e-mail address and a junk e-mail address. The real one is for business correspondance, Amazon order confirmations and my phone bill. The junk address (hotmail, of course) is for when a website requires that I sign up or enter a valid e-mail before allowing me to continue. 4od has my junk address, as does Cadburys from when I won that Crispello last month.
Since I use the junk address to indistriminately sign up for things, I receive an inordinate amount of spam. Phishing e-mails, scammers and a number of tragedy striken members of the royal family of Nigeria get hold of me on a daily basis trying to trick me into handing over quick cash. I usually just delete these e-mails, but the other day I received one from Ban Ki Moon, Secretary General of the United Nations!
It was titled “The Truth About Your Fund” and began with the words “Dear Victim…” so obviously I was in.

Drunk Driving Killer Teenager Too Rich to Jail

Supermarket Re-sells Meat Found in Thief’s Pants
A convenience store in Canada recently discovered a man
trying to steal from them by stuffing the goods down his trousers. So they did
what any good store would do in that situation. They removed the goods from the
man’s trousers and re-sold them to the unsuspecting public.
Jeffrey Feehan, a 29 year old man, decided to rob a convenience
store. But he wanted to put his own spin on it and do something original. So
that meant he couldn’t hold up the cashier at gunpoint, or go round with a
large empty bag or stuff small items in his pockets. Those are all played out,
common forms of thievery. That’s not how Jeffrey plays, he likes to be unique.
So he decided to take $71 (£41) worth of chicken breasts, bacon and steak down
his trousers to join his own meat.

Man Who Went on Naked, Racist, 'fire-extinguisher-up-the-bum' Rampage Walks a Free

damage on his ‘adventure’ through the corridors of the London hotel branch.
