Meet the man who lets his girlfriend have sex with other men… so that she doesn’t leave him

https://www.thesun.co.uk/living/2864302/meet-the-man-who-lets-his-girlfriend-have-sex-with-other-men-so-that-she-doesnt-leave-him/



WAKING up on a Saturday morning, Beatrice Gibbs takes one look at the naked stranger lying next to her before quickly putting on her clothes and leaving. As the 22-year-old make-up artist walks home, she texts her boyfriend Adam Gillet to tell him she’s on her way back. Beatrice feels no guilt as she walks through their front door – because Adam knows exactly where she has been and what she’s been doing.

The pair, who have been together for two years, have a one-sided open relationship.

Beatrice can sleep with who she wants, when she wants, despite Adam, 27, not having the same privileges.


Neuter it with a hedge trimmer, its the only way to be sure.

JOHN HIATT LYRICS
"Gone"

Gone like my last paycheck, gone gone away
Gone like the car I wrecked, gone gone away
Gone like a fifth of gin, gone gone away
Gone like the shape I'm in, gone gone away
My baby's gone away

Gone like a Nixon file, gone gone away
Gone like my landlord’s smile, gone gone away
Gone like the furniture, gone gone away
Gone like the rest of her, gone gone away
My baby's gone away

Gone like the silhouette there by the bed where she undressed
Gone like the candlelight where we made love so sweet and bright
Gone like the one last turn she took before Atlanta burned
Gone like everything I learned, gone gone away

Gone like my last paycheck, gone gone away
Gone like the car I wrecked, gone gone away
Gone like a fifth of gin gone gone away
Gone like the shape I'm in, gone gone away
My baby's gone away

A Man's Pet Squirrel Stops a Would-Be Burglar in Idaho

A pet squirrel named Joey is being called a hero this week after attacking a would-be burglar who broke into an Idaho home.

It all started Tuesday when Meridian, Idaho resident Adam Pearl stepped into his house and realized something was wrong."I came in the front door and I saw snow prints out in the front driveway going to the back of the house, so I thought something was awry because no one usually goes through the yard," Pearl told KIVI-TV....

Arsonist botches effort to blow up home on Valentine's Day, police say

http://www.mlive.com/news/flint/index.ssf/2017/02/gas_line_cut_in_attempt_to_blo.html

GAINES TWP, MI - An inside gas line was cut near a burning candle in an effort to blow up a Gaines Township home on Valentine's Day, police said.

Instead of exploding, however, the suspected arsonist set the candle too close to the line.

"What they wanted to do was fill up the room with gas and blow up the house," said Gaines Township police Chief Mark Schmitzer, adding that firefighters found the broken gas line "spewing out a flame like a blow torch."


Ah stupid people. Who would we laugh at without them.

Got a special sort of stupid one for us today ....

Tenant violates terms of lease by dying so his family can’t get his deposit back

A landlord has refused to give a deposit back to a family because the tenant had violated the terms of the lease – by dying.

Dennis Hanel, 55, had stage four kidney failure and died last month of a heart attack, but his £1,122 deposit will not be returned to his family.

His sister was told that his death ‘violated the terms of his lease’ and a representative of the landlord told her: ‘He’s not getting anything back.’

Debra Tolbert told CrossCut she was planning to use the deposit to cover the cost of her brother’s cremation.

An organiser from the local group, Washington CAN, that is helping Debra said: ‘For a landlord to require someone to give notice that they are going to die in order to get a deposit back is outrageous and unethical, not to mention inhumane.

Xochhitl Maykovich continued: ‘I don’t understand how someone like that can sleep at night.’

I guess you can't terminate your lease by paying the ultimate price.

Hey! What kind of name is 'Xochhitl Maykovich'? Siberian?

Welllll, since Maykovich sounds Russian and Xochhitl sounds Aztec I figured the name originated in Siberia and made it's way to us over some sort of bridge.

The Metro has a few good ones today:

Man ‘discovers wife is prostitute after watching brothel raid on TV’

A man apparently discovered his wife was a prostitute after she was arrested on TV during a brothel raid.

Igor Alexeev had no idea his other half was a sex worker until he watched police storm the premises in Ufa, Bashkortostan, in Russia.

After doing some more research on the internet he apparently found his wife Maria was listed for various sexual services, according to Mundo.

He said her listing showed she charged clients 15,000 RUB (£200) per night.

Mr Alexeev is now trying to get a court order to prevent his wife seeing their six-year-old daughter because he thinks she would be emotionally scarred if she found out the truth.

Toy tiger used to nurse orphaned cubs back to health   
Park rangers at a tiger reserve in India came up with a unique way to nurse three orphaned cubs.

The rangers at the Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve in Madhya Pradesh have fitted a stuffed toy tiger with synthetic nipples and milk bottles for the cubs to feed from, CNN reported.

A policeman's lot is not a happy one.

Police officer sacked for sending his boss picture of porn star that looked like her

A police officer has been sacked after he sent his female boss a picture of a porn star he thought looked like her.

PC Mark Scruby also showed the image to other colleagues telling them it looked just like Detective Sergeant Isobel Lee.

The officer of 14 years insisted it was a ‘joke’ but his boss said it left her feeling ‘humiliated and dirty’, at a misconduct hearing yesterday.

‘To try and keep face in front of the rest of my team for the rest of the day was really hard,’ she said.

He ‘repeatedly’ shared the explicit image with colleagues in a canteen and a report writing room, before he sent it to [DS] Lee over Whatsapp on February 5 last year.

Lee called him into her office at Crawley police station in West Sussex and told him: ‘You were inappropriate, unprofessional and out of order.’

The constable was hauled before a police misconduct hearing last May and was dismissed from the force after his actions were found to be a major breach of standards.

But he was later reinstated as an officer after he lodged an appeal against the ruling.

On Thursday, the case was brought back to a misconduct hearing where DS Lee said the incident left her feeling ’embarrassed and disgusted, humiliated and dirty.’

It's hard to take a side on this one.  A Police Supervisor should be a little tougher than this, but on the other hand he was showing it around to his peers (presumably also working for the Supervisor), making her the butt of the jokes which had the effect of undermining her authority.  Are there pictures of the porn star in the story so we can judge?   :whistle:

When a fellow's not engaged in his employment
or maturing his felonious little plans,
his capacity for innocent enjoyment
is just as great as any honest man's.........


Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

Ex-police officer attempted to create ZOMBIE SLAVES by killing four homeless people during occult rituals in Russian woodlands

    Former policeman allegedly performed occult sacrifices in Verkhnyaya Pyshma
    Arsen Bairambekov had worked as an police officer in Dagestan before killings
    Investigators allege that he tried to bring four vagrants back to life as 'zombies' 

By Naomi Leach For Mailonline

Published: 10:07, 20 February 2017 | Updated: 10:47, 20 February 2017

A former police officer has been accused of killing four homeless people and attempting to resurrect them as ‘zombies’ during occult rituals in a Russian forest.

Arsen Bairambekov allegedly lured the vagrants with free alcohol to a makeshift altar and bonfire in woodlands in Verkhnyaya Pyshma at night-time.

He sacrificed his victims then attempted to turn them into ‘zombies’ a Russian court heard.

After the sacrificial killings Mr Bairambekov buried the four bodies and is said to have returned ‘some time later’ in a bid to unleash his occult powers through further rituals.

Investigators told The Times: ‘He tried to bring the dead back to life then turn them into zombies. However, all his attempts were futile.’

Originally a police officer based in Dagestan in southern Russia, Mr Bairambekov moved to Verkhnyaya Pyshma, 900 miles east of Moscow, where the killings took place in 2014.

The former officer is also facing charges for two contact killings carried out on businessmen in 2002 and 2010 and for the illegal circulation of firearms.

According to the Investigative Committee of Russia, Mr Bairambekov underwent three psychiatric evaluations and was deemed fit to stand trial.

If it's MailOnline BS, it's creative MailOnline BS. I prefer to think it's too ridiculous to be anything but the truth.

Tennessee:
If one reads up on this, the police officer has only been disciplined with a suspension, a few weeks.

Mind you, if talking this way to someone is not bad enough, he also gave her some sort of video of himself as well.

Cop's indecent requests caught on secret recordings
Phil Williams
SOUTH CARTHAGE, Tenn. - Secret recordings obtained by Nashville-based WTVF show a Middle Tennessee police officer making all sorts of indecent requests to a woman he was supposed to be protecting.

Those recordings landed South Carthage officer Frank Geisenhoffer in trouble back in December.

For the victim, they raise questions about why he's still on the job.

"How can you defend speaking to a woman like that?" WTVF asked the veteran officer.

"Ok, sir," he replied. "I don't have any statements."

The recordings, made by convenience store clerk Elizabeth Restrepo, are crude.

"I don't do big girls," Geisenhoffer says at one point. "Don't have to -- not with this d...k."

At another point, he tells Restrepo, "You do look good, baby. F...ing hot!" Later, he comments on the appearance of her nipples.

The thing about the Tennessee case above, is it does seem possible, one could be led on. It sounds like the cop and no one else did wrong but it might be more complex.
