Girls of Nellos Take Note:
A jilted lover is taking legal action against his former girlfriend
for the return of the chocolates and other food he gave her

the gifts, including Swiss chocolates, nuts, three kilos
of bananas and "a bright red apple", because she's already
eaten them.

after being dumped by his girlfriend, according to

But his unnamed girlfriend, said in a letter to the courts in
Yekaterinburg: "Most of his presents have already been eaten. I
can't give them back."

VANCOUVER, British Columbia - Two exotic dancers who punctured a
third dancer's breast implant with a broken wine
glass onstage have been spared jail time.
According to testimony Wednesday in British Columbia Supreme Court,
customers in a downtown nightclub were stunned
when two dancers attacked a third after a performance on July 18,
2002, cutting her in the right breast and rupturing
her implant.
The attackers got angry because they believe the dancer had a snooty attitude, Justice Deborah A. Satanove was told.
Andrea Hauser, 25, convicted of aggravated assault, was sentenced to
a year of community service, a year on probation
and payment of $3,750 to the injured dancer for medical expenses.
Shayla Clewis, 25, convicted of assault, received a three-month conditional sentence and three months on probation.

A 23-year-old middle-school teacher was charged with having sex with
a 14-year-old student in a classroom, at her
apartment and, once, in a vehicle while the teen's 15-year-old cousin drove.
Detectives said that the cousins provided matching statements
incriminating Debra Beasley Lafave and that the 14-year-
old described Lafave's apartment and her tattoos and birthmarks.
Lafave, who teaches reading in the Tampa suburb of Temple Terrace,
was arrested there last week on lewd and lascivious
battery charges, accused of having sex with the teen earlier this
month at her apartment and in a portable classroom at Greco
Middle School.
She was out on bond on those charges when she turned herself in
Monday in Marion County, about 80 miles north of Tampa,
where the cousin lives. There, she is charged with lewd and
lascivious battery and exhibition. She was released Monday
on $25,000 bail.
Her lawyer, John Fitzgibbons, said he was not ready to respond to the
allegations. "There is a presumption of innocence in
this country," he said.
The teen told investigators that he and Lafave got to know each other
during a class trip last month, and their sexual
relationship began June 3.
The boy told detectives that Lafave told him that her months-old
marriage was in trouble and that she was attracted to him
because having sex with him was not allowed.
Lafave, who has worked with the Hillsborough County school system for
two years, has been placed on administrative
duty and could be suspended without pay at the next school board
meeting, officials said.
In Marion County, authorities say Lafave had sex with the student in
the back of her sport utility vehicle while the cousin
drove them around the Ocala area.
Webmaster Note: I never had teachers like this in school. although on
July 8 I did meet some very nice school teachers
while out with the gang from work. Be sure to check my What's New

More than 80 percent of single German women are perfectly happy
without a man in tow and say living solo gives them
more freedom to do what they want, according to a survey for Stern magazine.
Coming amid mounting political alarm about Germany's low birthrate
and aging population, the survey of 1,003 women
showed only two percent did not enjoy their solitary lifestyle and 36
percent opted to stay single because it was more fun.
Almost half the women said they preferred single life because it was
easier to keep their homes tidy and 36 percent said
with no man on the scene they didn't have to endure watching sports
on television.

A woman in the US state of Washington has been arrested on suspicion
of hanging topless and upside down from a
moving train.
Robin Bishop has been charged with assault, trespassing and resisting arrest following the incident in Hoquiam.
The 31-year-old was reported to police by an engineer on a Puget
Sound & Pacific train who discovered her hanging from
the rear of the train as it approached a bridge.
"She was wearing jeans and nothing else," Hoquiam police
lieutenant Mike Whittaker told The Daily World of Aberdeen.
"She was hanging upside down, topless, from a moving train."
Police Captain Jim Maloney says engineers stopped the train, which
had only four or five carriages, and approached
the woman. She shouted at them and struck one with a rock before
climbing to the roof of one of the carriages.
"The officers thought she might have been under the influence of alcohol," Maloney said.
Police don't know how the woman got onto the train.
