AND he thought he only had to worry about a hangover. A 32 year old Polish man living in Germany received a blow to the head five years ago when he was attending a street party on New Year’s Eve, but did not seek medical assistance. After feeling a lump in the back of his head recently he saw a doctor who discovered a .22 calibre bullet had been shot into his head five years ago, that fortunately had not penetrated his skull. Police say the bullet must have been a stray fired from a reveller in celebration. WHAT a great motivation to stay the same size. A British man was refused entry back into the UK in Aug 2006, after border control authorities in the Netherlands could not correctly identify 37 year old Derrick Agyeman because he had gained 31kg since getting his passport photo taken nine years ago. Border control said he was not the same person because of the differences in the thickness of his ears and lips. The weekend trip to Amsterdam ended up lasting three months and a court case over his treatment by the country’s Foreign Office. A LABRADOR who ate a beehive has been awarded the dubious honour of being accorded the most unusal pet insurance claim in the USA. The beehive contained pesticides and thousands of dead bees, but thanks to rapid veterinary intervention the dog, named Ellie, fully recovered from the unfortunate incident. Runners up in the unusual award ceremony included a border collie which ran through a window in an attempt to bite a postman, and a terrier that bit a chainsaw while it was running. “The beehive in the backyard was just another culinary adventure for Ellie,” said the labrador’s owner.
