EMERGENCY red herring.
Emergency services rushed enmasse
to an apartment building
in Stockholm to deal with a
suspected gas leak, only to find
instead a bucket of fish.
Emergency crews including fire
fighters and police were braced
to deal with the worst when they
appeared on the scene, entering
the building where the “gas leak”
was reported by neighbours who
smelled the odour in a stairwell.
The search for the gas leak led
the teams to a ripe bucket of
herring fermenting away.
According to reports, the
fermented fish is a Swedish
delicacy which is traditionally
served to guests at gatherings
during the autumnal seasons.
LOSING weight is a bad thing?
A man who lost 63kgs in a year
lost more than fat when he
reached his ideal weight, with his
girlfriend up and leaving as well.
The 26-year old British school
teacher Ryan Buckham tipped the
scales at 140kgs when he made
the decision to slim down,
cutting out all alcohol, sweets,
and otherwise unhealthy foods.
He also took up a regimented
fitness routine, and spent a lot of
his time counting calories.
The strict routine got too much
for his girlfriend of four years
who decided to give up the
relationship just before Buckham
reached his ideal weight.
“Looking back I did get obsessed
with the calorie counter; I was
on it all day and wouldn’t eat
anymore when I reached the
maximum,” said Buckham.
Rather than let the breakup
stop him, Buckham ran a
marathon, became a PE teacher,
“put the calorie counting into
perspective” and gained a few
pounds back.
He also got a new girlfriend, a
fellow PE teacher, and has vowed
to inspire his students who
watched his weight loss, to live
healthier lifestyles.
