Traffic Police Blow It!

Driver Fined For Blowing His Nose
A motorist has expressed disbelief at being fined for blowing his nose while his vehicle was at a standstill. Michael Mancini, from Ayrshirehad, England, stopped his van in traffic and wiped his nose with a handkerchief.
When he moved off, he was pulled over by police who told him he had not been in control of his vehicle.
He was then handed a £60 fine and docked three points on his driving licence.
Mr Mancini has refused to pay the penalty. His solicitor wrote to prosecutors earlier this month explaining the offence could not have occurred because Mr Mancini's handbrake was on.
But prosecutors replied the next day warning that if the fine wasn't paid, the case would be taken to court, which Mr Mancini fully intends to do.

What do you think? Did he deserve the penalty?

Hi Denise, that will be ridiculous if he has been stopped though he had abide the law. Unless he is not doing so ie he may be squeezing and any oh how throwing out of window. Hmm ...yee.. yaks....Otherwise the traffic police must be trying 2 meet his quotas of offenders so he is the unlucky one.

its ridiculous n dumb. Was it when da light was red? If so n already stopped da vehicle then ntin wrong. cops over there need to b retrained or someting

Vanity, Thy Name is Moob!
There has been an 80% jump in the number of men having a breast reduction operation, say the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons.
It's claimed many of the moob (man boobs) operartions were prompted by men feeling pressure to live up to the the role-models in movies, TV shows and magazines.
I wonder if the male patients opted to enhance other parts of their body with the excess stuff from their moobs? Eeew. Chest a joke!

Clairvoyant Cat?
A cat has "predicted" the deaths of 50 elderly patients by curling up with them as they are about to die, according to a new book.
Staff at the nursing home say Oscar the cat often sits with old people who are approaching their final hours.
In one case workers at the home were convinced a patient was about to die.
But Oscar thought otherwise and snuggled up to another person.
The cat and his sixth sense were proved right and the staff wrong.
However, scientists insist there's nothing supernatural or spooky going on. Instead, they think he 'smells' the pheromones released by the patients as they near death.
This is one cat I certainly don’t want to have as a pet. He’d make my whole family nervous.

5 Things
Denise has been attempting to learn how to Tap Dance. Every Tuesday evening, she takes a beginners' class and every Wednesday morning she wonders why she bothers. Her body aches in ways she has never known before! So in a bid to motivate herself, here's...

5 REASONS WHY ADULTS SHOULD LEARN TO TAP DANCE
1. To annoy your annoting neighbour downstairs.
2. You never know when you need to hang a picture and you’ve got the nails, but your hammer’s nowhere to be found.
3. If Tony Danza from Who’s the Boss can, so can you!
4. To drown out the din of your noisy kids.
5. To become an expert pest exterminator. Put on those shoes and crunch away at those bugs!

4. Make sure you are getting enough vitamins, particularly C, E, B12 and folate, preferably from food sources rather than supplements. There is some indication that these vitamins may help in reducing one's risk of developing dementia. However, Mayo Clinic warns against taking large dosages of vitamin E because it increases the risk of bleeding, especially if you are taking blood thinners.

This week, we hunt down the BEST HOKKIN MEE in town. Share your recommendations!

Hi Denise, have you try the Hokkien Mee at the Food Republic at VIVOCITY? I think it looks very tempting in the special leaf-liked plate on which it was served with big prawns. If only they can remove the prawns' skin 'cos i don't like to do it esp in public...Valerie

holkien mee store name is swee guan . Geylang lorong 29 coffeeshop. Price range from 3 to 20 with big prawn . Best to go with their sambal chilli and they are still using the traditional cooking method ( charcoal) thx francis goh

Dear Denise. Geylang Lor 29 Hokkien Mee is located in 396 East Coast "food 'r us" hawker centre. I have been in Singapore the last 24 years and I cannot think of any better hokkien mee stall. The prawns are very fresh and large the mee is the right mix of mee (the thin and the large) and they are blended with a super gravy made of the heads of the prawns (cholesterol punch) but who cares. The lard is chanky and crispy. And last but not least Alex is cooking on charcoal, which gives an estraordinary smooky flavor to the mee. What can I say I can die for it. My biggest problem is that I leave nearby. Only a walkinging distance. So very tempting ah ah. Cheers Ettore Palazzi.
