And she says she is engaged as well

Very difficult case
If he had just got up & shot the burglar I would agree with his actions 100%, cant remember all the facts but heard something about the burglar being stuck etc as well as Tony Martin lying in wait with a pump action shotgun which would make me have slight reservations about his actions.........
What would you do?
I think I would have done something similar to Martin, but wouldnt be discussing it close to the 10 year anniversary

TONY MARTIN has declared that he has no remorse about shooting dead a teenage burglar at his remote farmhouse 10 years ago.

The 64-year-old farmer insisted he was right to kill Fred Barras, 16, and seriously injure Brendan Fearon, 31, after they broke into his home.

Martin lay in wait with a pump-action shotgun on August 20, 1999, at Bleak House in Emneth Hungate, Norfolk. His home had been repeatedly raided.

The vigilante said: "I don't have any regrets at all - I don't see why I should.

"It was forced upon me and it would appear it wasn't a bad idea to happen.

Problem "We had no law and order and if I'm responsible for shooting those people, the police are equally culpable."

And Martin insisted little had changed in 10 years.

He said: "The police play this game where they say if you've a problem, give us a ring. When you do ring, they tell you why they can't do anything. "

His conviction for murder in April 2000 was reduced to manslaughter on appeal and he was released in 2003.

He added: "I've no more regrets than people who break into people's houses."

[The most overweight counties in the survey, where the percentage of overweight respondents was the highest were: Tipperary (58pc), Limerick (55pc), Wexford (54pc), Carlow (52pc), Louth (52pc). The 'slimmest' were Kerry (41pc), Monaghan (44pc), Longford (44pc), Leitrim (45pc) and Laois (45pc).]

Has anyone actually taken part in any of these surveys or are they just made up?



NEARLY half the population is overweight, according to a new survey.

While many women spend hours reading magazines in the hope of finding a new miracle diet, it seems their husbands and boyfriends only need to look in the mirror.

Some 61pc of Irish males admitted to being overweight, compared to 39pc of women, according to the survey conducted by Hibernian Aviva Health.

More than 5,000 people took part in the online survey, which used the body mass index (BMI) system.

BMI is a useful tool that compares a person's weight and height, to help establish what a person's ideal healthy body weight should be. A BMI greater than 25 is considered to be overweight while anything above 30 is considered obese.

"Irish males are great believers that their problems will go away if they don't think about them," said GP Stephen Murphy, a member of the Hibernian Aviva health medical council.


Denial

"Many of them are stuck in that little boys' mode of shutting their eyes and wishing their problems away and that can be particularly detrimental to their health."

A total of 48pc of the people surveyed admitted to being overweight or obese, while almost a quarter confessed to doing no exercise at all. "With almost half of the Irish adult population being overweight, these figures are extremely worrying," said Dr Murphy.

"Regular exercise in conjunction with a healthy diet from a young age will have a huge benefit to your health in later years and it is never too late to start a healthier approach to life."

The most overweight counties in the survey, where the percentage of overweight respondents was the highest were: Tipperary (58pc), Limerick (55pc), Wexford (54pc), Carlow (52pc), Louth (52pc). The 'slimmest' were Kerry (41pc), Monaghan (44pc), Longford (44pc), Leitrim (45pc) and Laois (45pc).

["When women become hysterical, it is necessary sometimes to slap them to bring them round."]

The woman, who can't be identified, said: "I remember crossing the road, then just out of nowhere someone grabbed hold of me and threw me against a wall.

"I was telling him 'please stop' then he punched me in the face. The next thing I remember is being on the other side of the wall."

The victim was left covered in cuts and bruises after the attack.

Palmer was arrested the next day in a bookmakers in Bournemouth where he and his friends were picking up winnings from a bet they had made on a horse called Palmer.

He claimed to police the woman had offered him "one last fling" after he stopped and asked her for directions.

He agreed to what he thought would be a "five second fumble".

He claimed: "I thought it was going to be like a five second fumble and whatever and I would go off into the night. She wasn't saying anything until she went berserk.

Doesnt look good

Scientist Professor Stephen Hawking is "very ill" in hospital, Cambridge University has said.

A spokesman said Prof Hawking was undergoing tests at Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge.

The 67-year-old, who has motor neurone disease and is wheelchair bound, speaks with the help of a voice synthesiser.

He has worked at the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics at Cambridge University for more than 30 years.
