Stories that are just downright weird / silly / strange / amazing

This has me going WTF - not just about granny who was silly enough to lie on a baggage carousel but the daughter who sought refuge in the gents' toilet!

Wel that's just bonkers! Imagine if that carousel started up! I've no words for the daughter that slept under the sink in the male toilets except what was wrong with the girls loos

The carousel did start up at 2 a m apparently and Granny had to hop off quickly!

Excluding McCann stories, this has to be one of the silliest of the year.

It appears this chap has something in common with Gordon Brown and Robert Murat.

Wonder what that headmistress would do with a kid going through chemotherapy causing hair to fall out.

How does that work? ^^^

The mind boggles.

I've heard of people marrying inanimate objects though, like the Eiffel Tower and the Berlin Wall. How the latter's wife coped when that was demolished, I don't know.

Oh I watched a documentary on that a few years ago, my jaw was on the floor the whole time!

That's probably the one I saw too. Here is a fairly recent update on the Berlin Wall woman - she has turned her attention to fences!

Some more bonkers reasons why people have phoned 999.

I found a dead fox recently but that wasn't me who rang the police about it!

I'm not even sure 'Wayne Eaglesome' is his real name -

This does sound a bit of an OTT reaction to being called a few names - you'd think that rugby players were used to it.

The house was apparently being renovated - it will need a lot more than that now!

What a charmer and wonderfully intelligent too to put her house number on the note so that she could be identified.

Wow. It's almost as if those in the medical profession are conditioned to believe that everybody else is even stupider than they are.

My son is spitting feathers over this one - in bad taste admittedly but it really was just a joke.
