I'll have a look through the Paisley Daily Express next time I have access to a copy - there's always a story of the pointless variety in there or something about David Tennant (who lived here for a time apparently).
That story I think is probably one of those "And finally..." type stories the news programmes run to lighten the mood. That or it was a VERY slow news day

i know, of all the sick and twisted things that they could have done, moving a mans train set is just taking it to another level altogether
iirc not only did they move part of it a whole 2 inches, but they disconected one of the locomotives from its carriages!!

McDonald's outlet in the Netherlands was wrong to sack an employee for giving a colleague a piece of cheese on a hamburger, a court has ruled.
The worker lost her job at a branch of the fast-food chain in the northern town of Lemmer in March last year.
A written warning would have been more appropriate, the district court in Leeuwarden ruled.McDonald's was ordered to pay her more than 4,200 euros ($5,900; £3,660) for the last five months of her contract.
The worker was fired after she sold a hamburger to a colleague who then asked for cheese, which she added to the meal.

Damn them for using real food, of course she should've been fired - it's not natural for that to happen at a fast food establishment :nutter:
