Man warned over cone sex:#posted by Dave 12:29:00 PM
A man who simulated sex with a traffic cone in an Edinburgh street has escaped with a warning after appearing in court.
Ross Watt, 34, is a registered sex offender with previous convictions that include simulating sex with a training shoe in a public place.
Hmm.. That's a new one...
He was arrested and charged last year after he encouraged a group of teenagers to watch his interaction with the cone at the foot of the city's Calton Hill.
...he offered to give them a public show with the cone and they soon circled their cars around the fetishist, shouting "give it some" to urge him on.
They followed with the ever so casual 'Say It's Name, Bitch.'
His lawyer Andy Gilbertson had argued that his act had been like a piece of Edinburgh Fringe street theatre, but the sheriff said it amounted to a breach of the peace.
That'll hold up in court.
The performance lasted about 20 minutes before police officers arrived to see Watt, who appeared sober, replacing the cone [and added juices?] at the side of Regent Road near the Scottish Executive departments in St Andrew's House.
Damn, that's a lot of cone f*cking.

Holness, 34, says an overzealous security guard ordered him to remove his pants and then fed them through an X-ray machine at a checkpoint as the humiliated passenger and scores of bystanders looked on.
''I'm standing in my underwear, looking stupid,'' said Holness, a truck driver from Miramar. ``Even when I got to Chicago, people from the flight were still looking at me like I was crazy.
He's black -- what did he have to hide?

Ice cream led to flight rage
A steward saw him sneaking his wine into economy and when the steward served ice cream he warned Mr Pidgeon not to take it into economy. But he was caught spoon-feeding his fiancee icecream in business class.
He told her to go back to her seat during meal service, as it was against airline policy for economy passengers to eat or drink food from other classes.
Least he wasn't breastfeeding...

Rock falls out of the sky#posted by Dave 2:15:00 PM
A 10-YEAR-OLD boy has narrowly missed being struck by a suspected falling meteorite outside his home.
Anthony Elliss-Galati claims he was standing in the driveway of his home 40km south of Perth last week when a dark shape came hurtling out of the sky towards him.
Anthony hid behind a car before seeing the object hit the driveway and shatter.
His father's evil plot was then foiled....[Okay, not really... But it sounded good.]
Otherwise, his mother puts the event down to divine intervention - Anthony had been fighting with his brothers that morning in the exact spot where the fragments hit the ground.
