Free Flip Flops for Drunken Women in the UK … Cool Beans
Posted by getgoswimwear under Offbeat News | Tags: drunken women, feet, free flipflops, margaritaville, odd news, Offbeat News, uk |1 Comment
Believe it or not … Drunk ladies in high heels in the UK are to be protected – at public expense – from twisting their ankles while drunk. Police will hand them flip-flops to wear outside nightclubs as they head home. The effort is part of a £30,000 drive by police and councillors to prevent ‘alcohol-related harm’.
Superintendent Chris Singer (in the photo on the right) poses with two pairs of flip-flops. As part of a £30,000 health and safety scheme, flip-flops are to be given free to drunk women to prevent injuries on their walk home.

Bra Saves Woman’s Life

I read this on the Lingerie Post Blog. A reader heard on the CW11 Morning News during the week of June 28th, that a woman’s bra saved her life. How you wonder? I seems an American woman was hiking in the Bavarian Alps and used her sports bra as an S.O.S. symbol. She attracted the attention of lumberjacks as the bra was attached to a cable used to move timber down a mountain. Fortunately, a helicopter crew noticed the bra and sent help. The woman is expected to make a full recovery.
Women are so smart aren’t they?

I mean “Really” … I know people like to sizzle at the beach .. but this is a little ridiculous. However, if you are looking for “Mr. Right” this could work. “They” (whoever “They” are) say men love the smell of bacon. In theory, this could work : ) Get the whole story at Loona.net

Polly Doesn’t Want a Cracker – He Simply Wants to Go Home

This is the cutest little story …
When a parrot by the name of Yosuke flew out of his cage and got lost, he did exactly what he had been taught — he recited his name and address to a stranger willing to help. (Why can’t we teach our kids to do this : ) )
Tokyo Police rescued the African grey parrot two weeks ago from a neighbor’s roof and after spending a night at the station, the parrot was transferred to a nearby veterinary hospital while police searched for clues as to who owned the bird.
The bird refused to talk to the cops, but began chatting after a few days with the vet.
“I’m Mr. Yosuke Nakamura,” the bird told the veterinarian. The parrot also provided his full home address, down to the street number, and even Police checked the address, and what do you know, a Nakamura family really lived there. The Nakamura family told police they had been teaching the bird its name and address for about two years.
