Boston: A convicted bank robber, Timothy Elliot, who is not supposed to be gambling has won US$1 million from the “$800 Million Spectacular” game. He bought the US$10winning lottery scratch ticket from a supermarket.
The state probation commissioner has started a hearing to determine if Timothy has violated his probation when he bought the ticket.
Elliot has already collect and probably enjoyed the money, from the first of his 20 annual US$500,000 checks from the Massachusetts’ Lottery Commission.
Blogerita says:
Is this considered gambling? The lottery tickets are sold openly in supermarkets, etc. It’s not the Las Vegas’ casino type of gambling. Give him a break. I would suggest to the state probation commisioner to provide Timothy financial counselling to help him invest his winnings wisely.
Making out in train station November 27, 2007

Copenhagen:Passengers at a Danish train station were left standing in the cold because a couple began having sex in the waiting room. Passengers decided to report this to the rail company to complain that they were stuck out in the cold because of a couple making love in the waiting room.
Police were called in and they put an end to their fun with an advice to “go back to your bed, away from prying eyes”.
Interestingly, the police did not charge them for indecency. According to the police spokesperson, “I guess they were not Vikings (because) they remained dressed. That’s why we did not charge them for indecency”.
Blogerita says:
People do have animal instinct in them. When they get horny, they just do it. Well, some people have less control over their sex hormones.
My advice to the couple is to leave public places to others. Go make love at home. Make out like rabbits for all I care. If you are an exhibitionist, go make out in the park. Go make out in the zoo. Go make out it in the cinema. But not in a train station, bus station or airport. Leave these places alone.

EPL is going on a team manager sacking season. It looks like this is the best and easiest decision for the board of director to take whenever a team does not meet the expectation. My advice to Billy is to take sometime off to rest and you will be back to top flight soccer soon. Best of luck to you.

Hong Kong: A luxury apartment here has set a new record as the most expensive flat in Asia, after fetching US$36.3 million. The penthouse in the upscale Mid-Levels district sold earlier this month for US$5,142 per square foot. The Mid-Levels penthouse is located at 52nd and 53rd floors of the Branksome Crest tower. Each penthouse covers 658.5 square meters.
The price shattered the previous record for Asia most expensive apartment which was held by another property in Hong Kong that was sold in October at US$4,370 per square foot.
Blogerita says:
This is real crazy man!!! Who would want to pay so much for an apartment. What happens when the economic climate changes? Whoever bought it must be a super-duper rich person.
For me, I would spend the money to provide for the needy. Help to place food on the table for thousands of families and educate the poor. I want to change the world if I have so much money. To me, over pampering oneself is a sin.

Wellington: A New Zealand father has been convicted of assault for smacking his eight-year-old son on the bottom in what is believed to be the first case under a controversial new law. The man was sentenced to nine months supervision including undergoing anger management.
The new law was passed in May removing a provision allowing parents to used ‘reasonable force’ in disciplining their children.
Blogerita says:
Watchout New Zealand government! What you have done is “Spare the rod and spoil the child”. In short term, you may look good. In long term, you may have just created a generation of children who will misbehave and be irresponsible towards their parents.
With greying population increasing each year, raising an irresponsible young generation will place a whole lot of financial burden on the government to look after the greying generation.
Think again, New Zealand government!

The ad says “Impressive waterfront views! Poised on the top of a hill and the envy of many onlookers. This two-storey house is a residence of power. Breathtaking views of Sydney’s beautiful harbour, perfect place to view Sydney’s fireworks”.
This prank appeared on the eve of Australian national election where conservative John Howard is fighting in the fiercest electoral battle of his life. Labor’s Kevin Rudd is leading in opinion polls where a defeat of John Howard in on the card.
Blogerita says:
If the PM house is for sale, can a foreigner buy it? I want to live there. I want to see the spectacular fireworks at Sydney harbour. The view is truly beautiful.
I hope Kevin Rudd and Labor party will win and form the next government. My wish is for him to fulfill his electoral promises and to bring back the Australian troops from Iraq. Build better relationship with their neighbours in Asia Pacific. Stop being an American Sheriff in Asia. Be friendlier to immigrants.
When you are rich November 24, 2007

Dublin:Heather Milla McCartney denounced the world’s rich and famous as insufferable misers and snobs. She said this to the debating society of Trinity College Dublin. She said she reluctantly obliged to befriend the world’s wealthy - despite their nasty qualities - because this was the only way to maximize her power as an agent for change.
Blogerita says:
Heather has no reason to complain about the rich and famous as she is equally rich and famous. She gained her fame from her marriage to Beatles’ legend Paul McCartney. She became even more famous from her divorce from Paul. She is going to get richer if she is successful in her bid to get tens of millions of her famous legendary Beatles husband.
Could her second statement is the insurance in case there is a backlash against her for uttering rubbish.
Well, Heather, don’t rock the boat when you are in it or else you will have no shoulders to rub with.
Who are the Kings and Queens of Hollywood? November 23, 2007
Posted by blogerita in : Entertainment , add a commentTry to guess who are the real Kings and Queens of Hollywood? Hint: They don’t appear on interviews, people don’t recall their names, people don’t see their faces. Obviously, these people are not the producers, not the directors and definitely, not the actors and actresses.
Producers, directors, actors and actresses are easily replaceable. As long as you dangle the carrots in front of them, they will queue up for the jobs.
The real Kings and Queens of Hollywood are the scriptwriters. Their current strike over wages is crippling the whole industry. Many theaters are closed. Many more will follow suit. An estimate of 60 television programs will stop. Many more people will be out of their jobs.
I hope they will find an amicable solution to this problem or else my favorite television programs will go off the air soon.
