THE BRITAIN WE LIVE IN....

Brighton’s The Argus reports that a bitter break-up has reached the High Court after a couple could not agree who should get the cheese grater and empty paint pots. Robin Williams and Anthony Hull are set for an expensive court battle over their former home near Horsham. Since their split, Ms Williams and Mr Hull have also disagreed about whether the paint pots in the garage, net curtains and lampshades were “joint property”. To cheese grater us do part!

Meanwhile the Southern Daily Echo has got religion telling readers - It started as a normal night out with friends — a curry and a few beers — but student Darren Farrant got a shock when he noticed the face of Christ on the underside of his naan bread. “There it was, staring back at me — Jesus’s face in the naan,” said Darren, originally from East Sussex. “I once spotted Jesus’s face in the crinkles of my mum’s bed cover. It’s really weird, I can’t explain it.” Bed covers! Naan! God does indeed move in mysterious ways

Also on the curry theme the Daily Mirror tells of footballer Levi Foster who got a yellow card for breaking wind in the ref’s face as he was having his boots checked before kick-off. Outraged match official Bunny Reid threatened to send him off until an apologetic Levi talked him into just a caution. Levi, 30, admitted: “I’d had a curry the night before.” He obviously didn’t curry favour with the ref!

...AND A TASTE OF WHAT WE ARE MISSING!

The Indianapolis Star is on to a case of drink driving.”Dude, I do this every night,” Zachary R. Duis, 24, told Indiana State Police officers after being pulled over in Porter County for erratic driving. “I’m straight up and not drunk.” Dubious troopers tested him anyway: his blood alcohol registered 0.30 percent, they say nearly four times the legal limit for drivers. Duis was arrested for drunk driving. “I do this every night” – but is that drinking or erratic driving? Probably both!
