burglar stuck in tesco chimney naked

blog de ahpoh - tesco chimney naked burglar

A would-be-burglar or a really silly santa manage to get himself stuck, most of all naked in the chimney of tesco.

this 20 year old guy was found by a delivery driver who heard someone shouting 'help me' from the chimney stack of the Tesco Express store.

Firefighters had to use lump hammers to dismantle the chimney breast on the first floor of the building to get to him.

After been rescued by firefighters, he told the police that he 'fell' into the chimney and it appeared his clothes came off as he tried to wriggle free.

PORN on disney channel


A cable television company is investigating just how children in some New Jersey homes ended up watching hardcore pornography when they tuned into a popular cartoon programme on the Disney Channel.

Paul Dunleavy, a Middletown, New Jersey, subscriber to cable giant Comcast, was stunned on Tuesday to find his five-year-old son watching something other than Handy Manny, a cartoon show about a bilingual Latino handyman, Manny Garcia, and his talking tools.

"It was two people doing their thing, it was full-on and it was disgusting," the Middletown father of three told The New York Daily News newspaper on Wednesday.

blogging as a new media

a blog of funny things - blogging mediaKUALA LUMPUR: The National Union of Journalists Malaysia has urged the Government to acknowledge the existence of Internet citizen reporting and blogging as a new media for disseminating information.

NUJ president Norila Mohd Daud said this online phenomenon had made a great impact on the country as an alternative information source on current issues affecting the public.

“The usage of Internet and the concept of the uncensored ‘borderless world’ have made information more easily accessible to anyone. As such, any abuses by public officials can be immediately exposed on the Internet,” she said in a statement issued in conjunction with World Press Freedom Day yesterday.

‘Ghostbusters’ back in action

KOTA BARU: Kelantan religious authorities are going to call some “ghostbusters” to clean up strange things happening in some neighbourhoods.

Also called doktor syaitan by people here, they are well versed in the Quran and draw inspiration from its verses to drive out evil spirits believed to dwell in deviant groups.

It is learnt that some enforcement officers sent out to investigate deviant groups sometimes end up being their followers.

“Perhaps meals or drinks served to the officers were spiked,” Kelantan Islamic Affairs Department director Ab Aziz Ab Rahman told reporters yesterday.

do you dare to play?

a blog of funny things - click to enlargeFancy a roller coaster ride? I was surfing the net recently and found this amazing Half Pipe Coaster. I'm sure this is something which could give you the biggest adrenaline rush u've ever experience.

Half Pipe is a steel roller coaster located at Elitch Gardens (Amusement Park) in Denver, Colorado. I wonder if we could get this in Genting Highland one day. I bet Uncle Lim (Lim Goh Tong) wouldnt mind installing a small amusement roller coaster for everyone to enjoy.

This roller coaster takes advantage of Denver’s proximity to nearby ski resorts that cater to snowboarders. Riders are placed in one of two cars on the train which is made to resemble a giant snowboard. Each car is a free-spinning circle that holds eight people. The track is essentially a giant, upright U and trains are loaded at the bottom of the U. LIM engines accelerate the train up both sides of the track. A typical ride consists of approximately five to six cycles of the train travelling through the U. [via]

a crocodile just ate my arm!!

pic via METRO (the crocodile just ate my arm...)

A 200kg crocodile has bitten off a zookeeper's arm - but surgeons managed to reattach it after reclaiming the limb from the reptile's mouth.

The male crocodile severed Chang Po-yu's forearm at the Shaoshan Zoo in the southern Taiwanese city of Kaohsiung.

Mr Chang, a zookeeper and vet, had been trying to retrieve a tranquiliser dart from the crocodile's hide so he could give it medication.

(Mr Chang with his arm reattached...lucky man)

But he appears not to have realised the reptile was not fully sedated when he stuck his arm through an iron rail.

As Chang was rushed to the hospital, a zoo worker ran up to the crocodile and carefully fired at its neck. The arm slipped from the animal's jaw and bounced across the ground.

As the crocodile slumped stunned, an anxious zoo worker sealed the severed arm in a bag and sprinted off with it towards the hospital.

'Girl Power' town in China

It may be a man's world still but one part at least is about to become exclusively woman's. A district in China will be renamed 'Woman Town' - with strict rules that whatever women want, they get. And disobedient men will be punished, either with wooden boards or menial chores.

The 2.3km Shuangqiao district in Chongqing will become what is thought to be the world's first 'Woman Town'. The town gates will bear the ruling philosophy: 'A woman never makes a mistake. A man can never reject a woman's request.'

Girl Power : Spice Girl would rule in this town.

Toyota Belta (Replacement for VIOS)

The Toyota Belta (referred to in North American markets as the Toyota Yaris) is a compact sedan manufactured by the Toyota Motor Corporation. It is basically a redesigned and sportier version of the discontinued Toyota Platz, and is similar to the Toyota Vitz.


Toyota Singapore, with Thailand confirmed the launch of the new Belta. Only the 1.5 L engine is offered in both Singapore and Thailand. In Indonesia, the new Belta will be launched in April 2007.


There’s rumors said that Toyota will bring Belta 1.3 to Malaysia instead of Vios 1.3. Indonesia and Philliphines both receive 1.3 version of Toyota Vios and most probably, Malaysian will received the Belta version. Powered by 1.3 2SZ-FE with Super CVT-i continuously variable transmission, it’s gonna be a popular choice by Malaysian. The entry level of Belta is powered by 1.0L. [via]


Rumour has it - Belta selling for : RM 80,436.00 ?? Not sure how true is this...what do u think?

college courses on how to keep public restrooms clean


KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia - It's never too late for toilet training. Some Malaysian colleges may soon offer courses on how to keep public restrooms clean, the national news agency reported Thursday.

The effort is meant to help Malaysia's public lavatories become as hygienic as those in countries such as Britain and Singapore, Deputy Housing and Local Government Minister Robert Lau was quoted as saying by Bernama news agency.

"Clean toilets cannot merely be judged by the eyes," Lau was quoted as saying. "This matter also involves the use of cleaning equipment, soap, fragrances and proper tissues."

Courses would involve managing washrooms by the highest standards in design and sanitation technology, said Lau.

Malaysia's government recently said it wanted to start a "toilet revolution" in a country where public restrooms have long nauseated citizens and tourists with their lack of basic items such as toilet paper, soap and sometimes even toilet seats.

Lau said his ministry plans to soon introduce a system for the public to lodge complaints about filthy toilets via cell phone text messages.

Other recent measures have included setting up modern self-cleaning toilets in popular shopping districts of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia's largest city, and scrapping the business licenses of restaurants found to have foul lavatories.

kelantan traditional delicacies

Kelantan food has always been popular, but not many know of the unusual names of the various delicacies.

Names of traditional sweets and cakes like tahi itik (duck’s droppings) and badak berendam (bathing hippos) are among them.

“Nasi 100” is a rice dish that contains 100 herbs, and is a form of traditional medicine usually consumed by women in the post-natal period.

These delicious traditional dishes are among many that are unique to the state.

The better-known Kelantan dishes include nasi kerabu, nasi berlauk, nasi tumpang, laksam and solok lada, and they are so popular that they are being used to boost tourism here.

[nasi kerabu]

Kelantan Tourism Association vice-president Mustafa Ibrahim said there were more than 170 Kelantan traditional delights.

“Kelantan is not only renowned for the its unique culture, but also for its traditional kuih (Malay cakes) heritage,” he said.

[cik mek molek, buah tanjung, nasi kaya, jala mas, tepung pelita dan akok]

To ensure that the various traditional kuih are not lost in time, the Culture, Arts and Heritage Ministry has compiled the recipes in a book.

The ministry’s deputy secretary-general Datuk Che Mat Md Daud said this was done in 2005, and added that it would be a shame if the traditional recipes were lost.

the story of mickey, minnie, goofy and a gay snowman

Get your paws off me ... Goofy grabs Minnie's boobs from behind backstage at the Magic Kingdom


In the World of Disney, it seems, it's OK to be gay, but you'd better not pretend good old asexual Mickey Mouse has any of those tendencies.

According to reports in England's Sun and elsewhere, the video posted on YouTube.com shows some Disneyland Paris staffers acting kinky backstage while dressed as Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Goofy and a snowman.

"The footage showed Goofy grabbing Minnie Mouse from behind before she was cornered for more groping by a giant snowman, who later had his way with Mickey Mouse too," said the version offered by the German Press Agency.

The short clip was removed from YouTube shortly after Disney executives found out about it and issued this statement: "We are aware of the video that was taken in an area not accessible to guests at Disneyland Resort Paris.

We regret any offense it might cause. Action has been taken to prevent this happening again."

Where does Elton fit in? The "legendary songwriter" was one of a number of people honored by Disney for their contributions to "unparalleled creativity, quality and innovation."

i cant seem to find the video though. anyone know where can i find it pls let me know. haha. would like to watch it. disney gone wild!!

hotdog for sale


Warning: this post carried quite a disgusting story. It involves chewed, but undigested, hot dogs.

Would You Be So Kind as to Vomit Your Hot Dogs into my Bag?

"At the Kansas State Fair teams of sheriff’s officers, media personalities, firefighters and grocery clerks competed in this year’s hot dog eating contest, which drew a totoal of 28 competitors.

"Some were looking for entertainment. Others wanted a free lunch. But for Pat Garety there was a very specific reason he was there.

"Takeru Kobayashi, who on July 4, 2004, ate 53 1/2 hot dogs and buns in just 12 minutes was the winner and afterward when he went to rid himself of his full stomach he saw Pat Garety blocking his way to the bathroom.

"Garety held in his hand five one hundred dollar bills and requested Takeru deposit his vomit in a special “clean” bag.

Takeru obliged and left $500 richer. It appears Garety is planning on selling his bag of hot dog chunks on Ebay and expects to net a quick two - three thousand dollars for the mess."

January 5, 2007 (SAN JOSE, Calif.) - Drinking on the job can get you in trouble, especially if you're a crook. Authorities in Northern California charge Esteban Avila Junior broke into a house, then passed out after helping himself to some beans and booze. Santa Clara County deputies say they found the suspect catching some "Z's" on the floor of the living room.

don't fall for home-made liquor in pubs


KUALA LUMPUR: From the labels, a person could be duped into thinking they are famous liquor brands.

Beware. The brandy or premium whisky that you get at your favourite club or pub could be nothing more than a home-brewed concoction of mineral water, caramel and sub-quality liquor.

Enforcement officers from the Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry who raided a house in Taman Prima Impian in Segambut here believe some entertainment outlets in the Klang Valley may be serving this homemade liquor to their customers.

The enforcers seized 1,000 bottles of adulterated liquor that can fetch about RM50,000 for the producer from the house in the noon raid on Wednesday.

cheap liquor offered is not always wat u think it is. i doubt lots of people can tell d diff. lol. man...hope this is not happening in sheffield. these days liquor oso got 'pirated'.

danger of cell phones


VALLEJO, California (AP) - A cell phone apparently ignited in a man's pocket and started a fire that burned his hotel room and caused severe burns over half his body, fire department officials said.

Luis Picaso, 59, was in stable condition Monday with second- and third-degree burns to his upper body, back, right arm and right leg, Vallejo Fire Department assistant chief Kurt Henke said.

Firefighters arrived at the residential hotel Saturday night to find Picaso lying on the bathroom floor after a malfunctioning cell phone in his pants pocket set fire to his nylon and polyester clothes, Henke said.

The flames spread to a plastic chair, setting off a sprinkler that held the fire in check, he said.

Authorities declined to name the phone's manufacturer and model.

The fire and water caused $75,000 (euro57,955) damage to the room and a business on the ground floor, Henke said.-AP

going abroad or not to go?


KOTA BARU: The country can reap immense benefits from professionals who return to Malaysia with their vast experience after working abroad.

In saying this, Higher Education Minister Datuk Mustapa Mohamed added that Malaysians who sought greener pastures overseas were not unpatriotic.

“It is a global trend. Highly-skilled people are sought after all over the world,” he told reporters after a meeting with the Jeli district education department officials and principals here yesterday.

“Of course, we want to stop a brain drain in certain critical areas but we feel those who go overseas to work can gain valuable experience and good income,” he said.

Mustapa was commenting on a report in The Star that Malaysian professionals who hold an MBA from a British-approved institution would stand a better chance of working in Britain.

The report said the prospective professionals were mostly doctors, lawyers, accountants, engineers and entrepreneurs, who must score at least 75 points in Britain's highly skilled migrant programme (HSMP).

Mustapa said that besides the perceived better quality of life, Malaysians go abroad for reasons that included better opportunities, better salary and promotion prospects, and wider exposure.

However, he said the Government discouraged any mass migration of skilled workers in critical areas such as medicine, dentistry, engineering and science.

working in britain? get an MBA


LONDON: Malaysian professionals who hold an MBA from any of 50 British-approved institutions will stand a better chance of working in Britain.

They will automatically get 75 points – the minimum qualifying mark under the point-based system in the Highly-Skilled Migrant Programme (HSMP), which came into force on Dec 5.

The move affects mostly doctors, lawyers, accountants, engineers and entrepreneurs, who must score at least 75 points to cross the HSMP hurdle.

Westminster City Council Chinese liaison officer David Tan said the Home Office had set the new rules and guidelines for the scheme, with the HSMP category designed to attract people with very special skills and who were highly trained and qualified to work in Britain.

Tan said those awarded the MBA from one of the 50 Home Office-approved institutions from December 2004 onwards would be entitled to the 75 instant points.

The full list of approved institutions can be viewed at http://www.hm-treasury.gov.uk/
