BAD WEEK FOR:

  • A six-year old girl, who got trapped in a washing machine at a laundromat in California. Police said she climbed into a washing machine when the door suddenly closed and it began to spin and fill with water. Julian Hernandez needed more than 100 stitches to her face, arms and back
  • A Dutch football player, who has been suspended for kissing a referee after he was sent off during a match. The player had taken the referee by the head and kissed him on the mouth after he was awarded a second yellow card. He has been suspended for 8 matches.
  • An 85-year-old California man, who has been banned from all his local libraries after stealing more than 3,500 books and videos over a four year period. Ernest Heyneman's lawyer said his client was devastated by the punishment. "He loves books. He found solace in books. The penalty is jail for him. Worse than jail."
  • A German man, who caused a huge traffic jam when he threw a pair of lederhosen out of the window during a row with his girlfriend. The leather trousers landed on a tramline in the city of Augsburg, where they fused the overhead electricity lines, forcing trams to a halt and blocking a main road.
  • Victoria Beckham, after a newspaper uncovered a plot to kidnap her and demand a ё5m ransom. The plot, by five eastern European gangsters, was foiled by police
  • Every restaurant and fast-food outlet in Britain, which will be forced to list the calorie and fat content of all the food they sell under legislation proposed by the Food Standards Agency. The agency says the move will encourage healthy eating.
  • A German bank robber, who forgot to cut eye-holes in his mask. The robber, called "Germany's dumbest criminal" by Bild newspaper, had entered a bank with a bag over his head. Bumping into bank customers he pulled out a plastic knife and a toy pistol. He then lifted the front of his mask to look at the cashier and demand money. The robber was told the safe could not be opened and he fled. However he was easily identified from the security cameras and soon arrested.

GOOD WEEK FOR:

  • Thieves, who stole the red carpet outside a high-class hotel in Zurich, Swtizerland. Local police have asked anyone who sees a red carpet with "Welcome to Atlantis Hotel Zurich" in blue letters to telephone them.
  • A Los Angeles restaurateur, who paid $35,000 for a single truffle.
  • Prince Harry, who was named as the 'hottest date' in Tatler magazine's list of eligible bachelors.
  • Tolcarne Beach in Cornwall (about one hour's drive from Plymouth); Experts have identified the beach as the ideal site for Europe's first artificial offshore reef. The ё6m structure is designed to create perfect waves rolling in at two metres high and 200 metres long.

STORY OF THE WEEK:
A Sri Lankan widower has taken over all his late wife's duties - including breast-feeding their baby. Mr B. Wijeratne, 38, astonished villagers in Walapanee with his biological feat. 'My child rejected the bottled milk I tried feeding her,' he says. 'I couldn't bear her crying so I offered her my breast. That's when I discovered that I could breastfeed her.' Doctors believe his unique ability to produce milk may be due to a hyperactive prolactine hormone.

PART C:

I went shopping for clothes yesterday and tried on lots of different things. I’ve grown out of my old winter coat so first I put on a coat that I liked but it was too long. It needed taking up. It was also a bit loose and needed taking in as well. So, then I tried a different style but that was too short and too tight. It needed letting down and letting out. So I changed out of that and decided to go for a party dress instead. I love dressing up for parties.
