It seems love might be in the air for a Scottish backpacker who managed to woo a handsome man she saw on the beach by painting him a poster that went viral. Glasgow artist Sarah Milne was relaxing at the beach in Picton - north of Christchurch on New Zealand's South Island - when she spotted her mystery man 'shirtless, wearing black shorts with stars tattooed on his torso and running with a curly, bouncy and blonde dog'. She decided she had to see him again, and despite not knowing anything about him apart from how he looked, decided to create a poster which she hung next to the beach in the hope he would see it. And on Tuesday, she met the elusive gentleman, now revealed as William Chalmers, after her note went viral on social media. Scroll down for video . Love at first sight? Sarah Milne, a backpacker from Scotland, meets William Chalmers, after her note brought them together . He works at a local burger joint and the pair met for the first time on Tuesday in front of a small audience who had gathered at beach to witness the meeting. They were still on the date when they spoke to Daily Mail Australia later that night. Mr Chalmers said the date was going 'fantastically’. ‘We had a bottle of sauv blanc and sparkling pinot gris. We had a great night. Now we’re grabbing a box of cheap beers... and we’re going to have a party,' he said. When asked if there will be a second date, Mr Chalmers joked to Daily Mail Australia: 'I'm not too sure. You might have to ask me tomorrow just in case I've made an ass of myself.' He added that his and Milne's story proved the world was not such a bad place. They finally meet: Mr Chalmers met Milne just after 2pm and asked if she wanted to go somewhere quiet and have a drink .

'I had no idea it would go the way it has gone,' she told Daily Mail Australia. '[The date has] been going alright, we've had a few glasses of wine. 'It was overshadowed by every other person in Picton and... [this] very sweet thing it could have been has become this huge public thing. 'It was very embarrassing. I’m not someone who is used to the spotlight. Thankfully he took me away from [the attention at the meeting point].' Milne also played coy when asked if the couple would be seeing each other again. 'We haven't even finished this one because of everyone’s attention but maybe,' she said. 'We need to get over this one first. We're really struggling to find our own space.'

Two-time Masters champion Bubba Watson believes he can freewheel at Augusta this year because all the pressure will be heaped on Rory McIlroy as he goes for the career grand slam. Watson failed miserably the last time he was in the limelight as defending champion, only just making the halfway cut at Augusta in 2013. But the big-hitting American is convinced he can live up to his status as one of the favourites this time because all the attention next month will be focussed on the Northern Irishman. Reigning Masters champions prepares for Augusta by playing at the WGC Cadillac Championships in Doral . Watson insists that Rory McIlroy will be under more pressure than himself at the Masters . The world No 1 only needs an Masters crown to complete a full set of grand slams . ‘There’s no pressure on me because I have two green jackets already, but it will be different for Rory,’ he said. ‘To be going for the career grand slam and at such a young age as well, if that was me in his shoes I would consider myself under a lot of pressure because who would not want to complete that? I think the key for Rory will be to try to look at it from an achievement standpoint rather than a pressure situation – that he’s there because of the amazing feat of winning three of the four majors at aged 25. 'He can also think to himself that if it doesn’t work out this year, then at least he is going to have plenty more tries in years to come.’ Like McIlroy, Watson will complete his pre-Masters tournament preparations at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, which begins at Bay Hill in Orlando on Thursday. And the gifted leftie was full of praise for the world number one, predicting he will break many golfing records in years to come. The American hits a shot out from the crowd on his way to victory last time round . Watson is bidding for back to back titles and a third crown at Augusta after wining last year (above) Jack Nicklaus 6 . Arnold Palmer 4 . Tiger Woods 4 . Jimmy Demaret 3 . Sam Snead 3 . Gary Player 3 . Nick Faldo 3 . Phil Mickelson 3 . Bubba Watson 2 . (plus eight others on two) ‘What was I doing at 25? Just trying to keep hold of my PGA Tour card,’ he said. ‘And yet here’s Rory with all these tournaments he’s won already. With the talent he has, there are plenty of records he could beat as he gets older.’ Watson, of course, is not exactly short of talent himself. Twelve months on, people still talk about the pivotal drive he hit at the par five 13th during the final round at Augusta last year, that cleared the corner to set up victory – a carry of a mere 360 yards. ‘I did push it a bit,’ admitted the gifted leftie. ‘Lucky for me I hit it well and so it

Premiership Rugby's longest-ever broadcasting rights deal with BT Sport could lead to another rise in the competition's salary cap. Chief executive Mark McCafferty admitted the four-year contract extension with BT Sport will feature in talks over setting the salary cap level for the 2016-17 Aviva Premiership season. Premiership bosses confirmed the new BT deal on Monday, extending the existing four-year contract until 2021. Premiership Rugby Chief executive Mark McCafferty admits the new BT Sport deal could raise the salary cap . McCafferty accepted the salary cap could 'possibly' rise again off the back of the BT deal - but not straight away. 'We've got the salary cap levels in place for the 2015-16 season next year, and we will start discussions with the clubs over the next few months on the cap for 2016-17 onwards,' said McCafferty. 'No doubt the new BT deal gives us some certainty against which to plan those discussions.' Premiership chiefs netted £152million when agreeing their first deal with BT Sport in 2012, and this new extension is expected to command a sizeable increase. The salary cap for the Aviva Premiership will be discussed for 2016-17 onwards in the next few months . Premiership clubs continue to battle the lure of big-money moves to France in the bid to retain their top stars. Northampton skipper Dylan Hartley rejected several lucrative contract offers from French clubs to commit to Franklin's Gardens earlier this season however, and league bosses will hope increasing revenue through deals similar to the BT contract will continue to boost that ongoing fight. The Premiership's salary cap is already set to rise to £5.1million for 2015-16, with clubs able to gain £400,000 in credits for the number of home-grown players in their squad. Premiership clubs will also be able to nominate two marquee players, whose salaries are not included in the cap. McCafferty believes progressive sponsorship and commercial arrangements like the new BT deal will continue to help Premiership clubs build squads potent both at home and abroad. Dylan Hartley (centre) raises the trophy for Northampton having won the 2014 Aviva Premiership . English and French clubs spent two years haggling over reform of the European rugby competitions, securing meritocratic qualification and record broadcasting investment in the process. For the first time since 1998, four English clubs have qualified for the quarter-finals of Europe's top club contest, in the inaugural European Champions Cup. 'We're particularly keen on all of the talent that we've been developing through the academies: those players have been breaking through into the England set-up at a younger age,' said McCafferty. 'We've got a good, strong, young English squad, and we've had strong performances in Europe from our top clubs. 'The whole picture is coming together but all of that requires more investment, and that's what we intend to do.'

Summary: The four-year contract extension is the league's longest ever TV rights deal . Premiership Rugby signed a £152m four-year deal with BT Sport in 2012 . New BT deal is expected to help Premiership clubs keep hold of their players and in competition with cash-rich French sides . Live Premiership games will increase to 80 a season in the new TV deal .

A fifth of patients turning up in A&E have self-treatable conditions including sore throats, athlete’s foot and head lice, a study has claimed. Researchers have calculated that more than 4 million visits a year are unnecessary – costing the NHS £290 million. Doctors have even reported patients showing up because they were hungover, their false nails were hurting or they had paint in their hair. More than four million A&E visits each year are unnecessary – costing the NHS £290million, a survey claims . Doctors have even reported patients showing up because their children had headlice, or because their false nails were hurting . The analysis of data from 15 A&E units by consultancy firm IMS Health found that 19 per cent of patients had what is called a ‘self-treatable condition’. The data covered one in ten A&E units across England, so if the trends are mirrored across the country, then an estimated 4.1million of the 21.7million visits last year were for minor ailments. The problem is largely caused by the fact that patients find it difficult to see a GP, particularly out of hours. Many go to A&E in the knowledge that they will at least be seen by a doctor that day, even if they have to wait four hours. Even the Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt has admitted taking his children to casualty at the weekend rather than making an appointment with a GP. But the unnecessary visits are adding to the pressures of busy departments and diverting staff from treating patients who are very seriously ill. It all came to a head in January when 13 hospitals declared major internal incidents in a two-day period as they were unable to cope with the numbers coming through the door. Now experts are urging patients to use local pharmacies, where they can be offered advice and treatment. Matthew Speers, from the Proprietary Association of Great Britain – which represents medicine manufacturers and commissioned the research – said: ‘Pharmacists are well placed to provide advice to people with minor conditions, ensuring they get support without diverting NHS resources from people who really need them.’ Figures show that 21.7 million patients attended A&E in 2013/14 - a rise of more than a third in a decade . But Dr Clifford Mann, president of the College of Emergency Medicine, which represents A&E doctors said attempts to divert patients did not work. Dr Mann, an A&E consultant at Musgrove Park Hospital in Taunton, Dorset, added that the ‘A&E brand is well-known and trusted’ so ‘patients will continue to attend.’ He said the only solution was to install GP clinics at A&E units so patients with minor ailments could be sent there leaving staff to deal with the more serious cases. Figures show that 21.7 million patients attended A&E in 2013/14 - a rise of more than a third in a decade. And the NHS has missed its target for ensuring 95 per cent of patients are dealt with within four hours every week for the last six months. In November, Jeremy Hunt admitted in the

Summary: More than 4 million visits a year are unnecessary – costing the NHS £290m . Doctors say some patients have even turned up because they were hungover, their false nails were hurting or they had paint in their hair . Problem is exacerbated by the fact it is so hard to see a GP, experts say .


A nine-year-old girl has been praised by police after grabbing the steering wheel and driving her family including her little sister to safety when her mother had a seizure in the driver's seat. Jacey Jones, who is in the fourth grade, was traveling down a curvy road in Bay City, Michigan, with her younger sibling and mother, Samantha Jones, last September when the latter started fitting. As Mrs Jones fell unconscious, Jacey, who was in the back seat of her family's Hyundai, climbed into the front and took hold of the wheel. She then drove the short distance to her school's parking lot. There, she drove the car around in circles until she attracted the attention of a passing parent. The adult then opened the vehicle's door and put it in park, before lifting the girls out and calling 911. Scroll down for video .

A Florida ex-convict has been arrested and charged with murder and arson in the death of a retired university professor, who had given the suspect and his wife close to $40,000 in financial aid. Dr Thomas Oakland, 75, was initially believed to have died in a house fire, but an autopsy on the retired University of Florida professor found that he'd been bludgeoned and was already dead when fire consumed his Gainesville home Wednesday. Police opened a homicide investigation and began searching for a couple who knew the professor. Late Thursday, the US Marshals Florida Regional Fugitive Task Force apprehended 37-year-old Stephen Underwood Jr. in Jacksonville. Underwood had been released from prison December 22 after convictions for fraud and trafficking in stolen property, according to state records. Arrest: Stephen Underwood Jr (left), 37, has been charged of murder, arson, burglary and grand theft in the death of Dr Thomas Oakland (right), 75, whose body was recovered inside his fire-ravaged home . Inferno: Oakland's body was found by firefighters responding to a call about flames coming from his home in Gainesville, Florida . Underwood, a day laborer who is currently unemployed, is now being held on charges of murder, arson, burglary and grand theft. The suspect and his wife of two years, Sherry Sidell Underwood, 48, had a relationship with Oakland that was ‘financial,’ Gainesville Police spokesman Officer Ben Tobias said. Gainesville Fire Rescue got the call at 1.07pm Wednesday about flames coming from Oakland's home at 1921 SW 8th Drive in the Kirkwood subdivision, reported the Gainesville Sun. The man's body was discovered in one of the home's three bedrooms. For years before his death, Oakland had been a ‘Good Samaritan’ who was trying to help Underwood out, police said. Over the year before Underwood went to prison, investigators believe Oakland gave him more than $37,000 in cash. ‘Apparently, Underwood knew Oakland kept cash in the house,’ Tobias said. When Underwood got out of prison, the relationship became a problem for Oakland, police said. The professor contacted police last month to file reports that he'd been defrauded by Underwood. Oakland told officers at the time that he knew Underwood had taken advantage of him, but wanted to help. Beneficiaries: For years before his death, Oakland had been a ‘Good Samaritan’ who was trying to help Underwood (left) and his disabled wife, Sherry Sidell Underwood (right), 48 . Oakland said he ‘just wanted to be a good Christian and help a poor man get back on his feet,’ according to police documents. It wasn't immediately clear how Oakland said he had been defrauded. Police said Underwood's wife, who is disabled, told police that her husband had a large bag of cash she believed he had taken from Oakland. Scholar: Oakland was a prominent professor of education until his retirement in 2010, and a former Fulbright Scholar . ‘She knew he was unemployed and had no funds of his own, and all of a sudden he had a bag of cash,’ Tobias said, adding that the woman is not being charged.

He liked nothing better than to nibble on a shortbread biscuit with a cup of Earl Grey and a dash of honey. You could often hear him singing Martha and the Vandellas hits or bopping along to some reggae. And if trouble ever loomed for his owner Cara Cosson, he could always be relied on to bark like a dog. Scroll down for video . JoeJoe the African Grey parrot, pictured left and right with owner Cara Cosson, 45, was snatched from his home in Bedford during a burglary - but nothing else was taken . But something dastardly happened to JoeJoe the parrot the day someone broke into her house while she was out. A heartless intruder kidnapped the 16-year-old African Grey – and left a threatening letter made from newspaper headline clippings inside his cage. The note is understood to have warned: ‘If you want to see the bird again text [phone number]. If you go to the police I will kill him.’ Quite what fate has befallen this remarkable performing bird is a mystery that has so far involved the police, a psychic, Parrot Society experts and an international appeal on the internet. The thief even left a threatening note in JoeJoe's cage, made out of newspaper headline clippings, which read: ‘If you want to see the bird again text [phone number]. If you go to the police I will kill him’ Alas, there has been no word from him since. Not even on Twitter. The abductor struck two weeks ago while Miss Cosson, a 45-year-old contracts officer, was out at work. She returned to her home in Bedford after her mother phoned her to say that there had been a break-in. But when she walked in, to her absolute despair she realised that JoeJoe was missing. ‘He is not a pet, he is family,’ said Miss Cosson, who has no children. ‘I am devastated. People will think it’s just a bird but it’s not. It feels to me that my child has been kidnapped. I’m trying not to think the worst but I suspect the worst may already have happened.’ Nothing else was taken in the robbery and Miss Cosson, a divorcee who split up with her partner earlier this year, believes she knows who is responsible. ‘The person who stole him has taken him because that is the only thing that would be able to hurt me,’ she said. The kidnap-style letter did not ask for money but said the bird would be killed if she called police. But she did call them – and an immediate investigation was started by what ribald locals nicknamed the flying squad. Bedfordshire police did arrest and bail a 40-year-old man on suspicion of burglary but are still searching for the bird. Miss Cosson, who launched a Facebook appeal and pledged she would ‘never give up’, even consulted a clairvoyant in a desperate attempt to be reunited with the parrot that has been her companion since it was 14 weeks old. The psychic used tarot cards to conclude that JoeJoe was

'The failure to detect a fracture on an X-ray is the most common diagnostic error made in A&E,' says Michael Kelly, an orthopaedic trauma surgeon . Shirley Johnstone had mixed feelings when the A&E doctor said the X-ray of her elbow showed no sign of a fracture. ‘It was a relief there was no serious damage. But I was in agony — I couldn’t move or straighten my arm, and felt I needed more than just paracetamol and a few days off work,’ recalls Shirley, 60, a chef from Great Wakering in Essex. The pain had begun suddenly when she stretched up to adjust a showerhead. ‘At first I thought I’d slept on my arm badly,’ she says. ‘But it was so painful, my partner advised me to get it checked.’ Six days after she was seen at A&E, Shirley received a phone call from the hospital. Doctors had reviewed the X-ray and there was a fracture after all, in the olecranon, the protruding bone that forms the tip of the elbow. It was a mistake that, four years on, is still affecting Shirley’s life. For a second X-ray showed that the fractured bone fragments had moved 4mm in the intervening days. Her arm was put in a cast, then a week later she had surgery to pin the bone in place. But a year after the operation she developed a painful infection because fluid had built up around the fracture. And three years later she still gets pain in the joint, especially in cold weather. ‘I had to have so much time off work, I was demoted and put on a lower wage,’ she says. ‘I’ve never got back on track.’ Shirley has never had a proper explanation for the delay in spotting the fracture. ‘One doctor told me, “I’m afraid sometimes these things get missed”,’ she says. Every year one person in 100 in the UK breaks a bone, and about half the 20 million or so visits to A&E involve having an X-ray, mostly to check for bone injury. But research suggests that thousands of patients walk out of A&E with doctors having failed to spot their fracture. ‘Numerous studies have shown that failure to detect a fracture on an X-ray is the most common diagnostic error made in A&E,’ says Michael Kelly, consultant orthopaedic trauma surgeon at North Bristol NHS Trust. And if a broken bone is not stabilised quickly, the impact can be devastating. ‘At the very least, people suffer prolonged pain and inconvenience,’ says Mr Kelly, ‘but it can also lead to ‘chronic functional limitation with long-term pain, early symptoms of osteoarthritis or a stiff joint.’ The bone may also fail to fuse and need complex surgery later. So why does it happen? Ordering the correct X-ray, then detecting an abnormality on the image takes skill and experience. Yet A&E patients are most likely to be seen by junior doctors, with new doctors ‘fresh from medical school being the most senior staff working at evenings and weekends in one in five A&E departments’, according to a

Summary: For Shirley Johnstone, a fracture of her elbow that was missed is still affecting her life . Some hospitals have introduced a safety net in which all X-rays are reviewed by a specialist .


Toby Alderweireld would like to make his loan move to Southampton permanent, despite reported interest from the likes of Manchester City and Tottenham. The 26-year-old's September arrival from Atletico Madrid appeared quite the coup, especially as the season-long loan gave Saints the option to make the move permanent for just £6.8million. Alderweireld's impressive performances have made that fee look all the more paltry, but parent club Atletico could cancel that buy-out clause by paying Saints £1.5million .

Alderweireld celebrates victory against Hull with fellow teammates Jose Fonte and Morgan Schneiderlin . That, along with growing interest in his services, muddies the water somewhat, but the Belgium international would be keen to stay at St Mary's.

Terrifying new reports have revealed that farmers in New Zealand have been sent letters which threaten to contaminate baby formula, in an apparent protest against the use of pesticides. Sent anonymously to Federation Farmers and Fonterra in November, the letters also included small packages of milk powder which were laced with concentrated 1080 poison, according to the NZ Herald. Detailed in the letters were threats claiming that if New Zealand didn't stop using poison 1080 - a chemical used in pesticides - by the end of March the senders would contaminate baby and other formulas. Letters sent to Federation Farmers in New Zealand last November contained threats to contaminate baby formula with poison 1080 . Police are now appealing for the public's help in catching the letter senders. They launched their investigation in November, headed up by an Auckland-based team called Operation Concord and involving up to 36 police officers. New Zealand's Prime Minister John Key has described the attack as a 'form of ecoterrorism'. 'Police have advised there is a low likelihood of the threat being carried out, but because of the nature of it, both the police and ministers have taken the treat seriously,' Mr Key said in a press conference in Parliament according to the NZ Herald. He also added that testing through each step of the supply chain was carried out before the public was notified of the potential threat. Mike Clement, Police Deputy Commissioner of National Operations said the threat needed to be treated in a serious matter despite that fact it could be a hoax. Mr Clement urged the person, or people, responsible for the distribution of the letters to make themselves known to police. 'The letter writer may not have really considered the implications of their actions when this communication was drafted,' Mr Clement said. No specific brand was targeted and officials say they are certain no formulas are currently contaminated . Ministry for Primary Industries Deputy Director General Scott Gallagher said he was sure that New Zealand baby and other formula was still safe despite the threats. 'This criminal threat is designed to cause fear in order to generate a domestic policy outcome,' Mr Gallagher also said. He also confirmed that there is currently no 1080 poison in any baby formula. Mr Clement urged people to check packets for any signs of tampering or interference after 'this criminal blackmail threat', and said that no particular brand had been targeted. As officials have been aware of the threat since last November, they are positive that there is currently no danger of contamination and in fact formulas are safer than ever due to stricter screening and control. Global dairy company Fonterra said the whole industry is onside with the investigation, ready to assist police and government officials. Chief executive Theo Spierings revealed the news of the threat made him 'quite angry.'

Summary: Threats to poison baby formula have been made to farmers . Federation Farmers in New Zealand received the letters last November . Police Deputy Commissioner described the letters as a 'blackmail threat' Officials have assured the public there is no immediate threat to infants .

Mr Lewis told Australian TV: 'The . editor at the time was Andy Coulson, and I think that's worth . remembering because of the future relationship that we have between the . Conservative Party, the Prime Minister and Andy Coulson.' He added: 'Andy Coulson had done . George Osborner a favour; perhaps it was time for George Osborne to . reciprocate and do a favour back.' But Tory MPs rounded on Mr Lewis, calling it a 'spurious' attempt to embarrass the Chancellor with 'the wprst sort of smear'. In the leader column the paper said Mr . Osborne was 'a young man when he found himself in a murky world', and . said it was up to the voters to judge at election time.

Most of America has spent this winter shivering in a colder-than-usual polar plunge that's seen almost every state turned white and the Great Lakes freeze over. But in Alaska, residents are wondering what's become of the blizzards and arctic lows that usually characterize the northernmost state. The biggest city, Anchorage, is so unseasonably warm that a winter festival could only go ahead after trucks drove in snow from a stockpile, and hide it under PVC to stop it from melting away. No-show snow: Streets in Anchorage were snowless (left) for a winter festival, while volunteers (right) had to pile up snow and cover it with PVC so a sculpting competition could go ahed. The rest of the U.S. has had a frigid winter . We took your winter! This was the scene Saturday on Boston Common, the heart of a city buried in snow - prompting the envy of Alaskans . Digging out: Boston's motorists found their cars swamped by snow, while the usually frigid land of Alaska was left hardly touched . Want some of this? In the Massachusetts capital, huge piles of snow have emerged as authorities struggle to find anywhere to put snow taken off the roads . Bemused residents even took to asking Boston - which has been swamped with more than 100 inches of snow in a record-breaking winter - if they can have their winter back. Speaking to the Boston Globe, Anchorage-dweller Danielle Crelley, 19, said said: 'This is the worst winter ever... We can’t even go sledding. I just want to build a snowman.' Another, store owner Nina Walker, proposed a trade between Massachusetts and Alaska. She said: 'You give us your snow, and we’ll give you the Palins.' Cameras from local station KTUU showed the snow-less scenes in the city. Their comments follow an unusual set-up for the annual Fur Rendezvous festival, in which Anchorage city authorities had to spread a thin coating of snow from diminishing stockpile to create a winter feel. Sunday highs in the city are set to be above freezing, while Wednesday is predicted rain. A dog sledding race, which usually winds through the Anchorage streets, has been relocated 260 miles north, where there is still enough snow. It was the first time the event had to move since it began in 1946. Wanna trade? One Alaskan said that Boston was welcome to Sarah Palin and her family - if they can restore winter to Anchorage . Winter of two Americas: Climate figures showed that this winter has seen western states experience unseasonable warmth, while the east shivered. Alaska has been warmed by the same phenomenon heating California . Speaking to the KTVA station, former organizer Gary Huffard said: 'This weather is as crazy as it can get!'. He later encouraged people to come down to the event's funfair because, for once, 'you can enjoy the carnival without turning blue'. It comes as cold weather records continue to fall across the country, with February declared the coldest month in New York for 81 years. Boston was predicted still more snow

Summary: Winter has seen snow in almost every state, and frigid lows in the Northeast - but Alaska is balmy by comparison . In largest city, Anchorage, snow for winter festival was driven in from stockpiles after less than an inch fell last month . Dog-sledding forced to move 260 miles north to get enough snow - the first time since the event began in 1946 . Residents jokingly asked Boston - been buried by more than 100 inches in recent months - for its snow back . Alaskan warmth and frigid lows further south are both caused by atmospheric movements in the jet stream .

And the 70-year-old admitted the furore that followed has put him off the game. He told the MailOnline that he had 'sought solace' in the app during an opening speech by Conservative deputy council leader Geoffrey Samuel. 'Councillor Samuel was giving a speech in a bombastic and aggressive manor and, to be somewhat blunt, I'd run our of budget agendas and I unwisely sought solace in the Scrabble board,' he said. 'I admit it could be seen as (not representing those who voted for him). I do apologise unreservedly if it created the wrong impression. The councillor and keen Scrabble player said the incident had put him off playing the game for the foreseeable future . 'In fact I was listening to every word he said.' Mr Samuel, who was opening the annual budget and council tax meeting, called Mr Elengorn's behaviour 'outrageous'. 'He is paid, not an inconsiderable amount of money, to represent his residents and not play silly games. 'This is typical of his arrogant attitude and the flippant way he takes his public duties. 'If it was me, I would consider stepping down.' Conservative councillor Helen Hill, who took the photograph, said she was 'shocked' when she noticed him playing the game.

Lib-Dem leader Stephen Knight said: 'I think Martin recognises it was not the wisest thing to be doing in a council meeting. Tory MP Nigel Mills was forced to apologise after he was caught playing games on his iPad during a select committee hearing last December - as the Commons authorities launched a mole hunt for whoever caught him on camera. Photographs published by The Sun showed Nigel Mills enjoying online hit Candy Crush Saga during a Work and Pensions Committee evidence session. The Amber Valley MP, who has been issued with a tablet at the taxpayers' expense, initially told the newspaper he would merely 'try' not to be diverted by the game again.

Beers and ales have been brewed for centuries but it appears the taste hasn't changed all that much during this time. Chemical analysis from two bottled drinks found on a shipwreck in Finland has revealed their similarities to modern-day lagers. This includes high levels of ‘green leaf’ flavours, sweet apple and rose compounds and a proof of around 3 per cent. Chemical analysis from two bottled drinks - known as A56 (pictured) and C49 - found on a shipwreck in Finland has revealed their similarities to modern-day lagers. This includes high levels of ‘green leaf’ flavours, sweet apple and rose compounds and a proof of around 3 per cent. The bottles date back to the 1840s . The bottles were found in the summer of 2010 when the wreck of a schooner was discovered in the Baltic Sea. It was found at a depth of 165ft (50 metres) just off the coast of the Åland Islands, Finland. Archaeological evidence suggests the shipwreck occurred during the 1840s, but the schooner’s name, its destination, and its last port-of-call have not yet been identified. The cargo consisted of luxury items, including more than 150 bottles of champagne, and five bottles that look like typical early 19th century beer bottles were also brought to the surface. One of these cracked in the divers’ boat and the liquid that foamed from the cracked bottle looked and, according to the divers, tasted like beer.

Initial taste tests said the beers were ‘vinegary, goaty and tasted of sour milk’ and this said to have been caused by bacteria that had grown in the bottles over the years. But when experts from the VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland and the Technical University of Munich tested the beers they pinpointed specific flavours. The experts took samples from two of these bottles – known as A56 and C49 – and analysed their physicochemical characteristics and flavour compounds. They also analysed six reference beers including Leffe Brune, Koff Porter, Weihenstephan Hefe Weissbier, Paulaner Hefe Weissbier, Aldaris Porteris Alus, and Olvi Sandels. The

Alan Pardew believes English football is not doing enough to include black coaches – and wants to see more ethnic minorities in top jobs in the Barclays Premier League. Pardew’s Crystal Palace side face Queens Park Rangers at Selhurst Park in Saturday’s lunchtime kick-off, and the visitors have the top flight’s only black manager in Chris Ramsey. QPR appointed Ramsey last month unexpectedly after Harry Redknapp left the club, and Pardew believes the appointment was a great boost for the Premier League. Palace manager Alan Pardew believes that English football isn't doing enough to include black coaches . Chris Ramsey, QPR boss, is the only black coach in the top flight - and one of just six in the Football League . ‘He’s black, which I think is great for the Premier League,’ Pardew said. 'We’ve got a black manager, and it’s something that I want to promote here in terms of our coaches, because the percentage of players we have to percentage of coaches in terms of origin isn’t right. ‘So I’m pleased (he got the role), I hope he does well, he’s done a terrific job so far because that QPR team has improved under his tutorage, though hopefully not improved too much tomorrow otherwise we’re going to be in trouble.’ And Pardew said he feels the entire English game needs to work on being more inclusive in the people it hires. Ramsey takes a coaching session at the QPR training ground this week ahead of his side's trip to Palace . Former Chelsea striker Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink is currently managing League Two outfit Burton Albion . Ramsey is one of just six black or ethnic minorities bosses in the Football League, along with Huddersfield Town boss Chris Powell, Brighton’s Chris Hughton, Carlisle manager Keith Curle, Leyton Orient boss Fabio Liverani and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink with Burton Albion. ‘I think it’s just important to promote coaches. The proportion of African, Afro-Caribbean players to coaches is not right,’ Pardew said. ‘I think it’s something that needs to be spoken about and something that we need to work on as an FA and the chairmen up and down the country need to give more chances.’ ‘I actually do feel that a lot of black players or Afro-Caribbean players don’t go into the coaching courses. Perhaps they feel it’s not going to help them, but it will. ‘We need a greater influx of Indians, Afro-Caribbeans, entering our coaching system and getting jobs, so the proportion makes sense.’

Waterways around the Northeast are beset by ice that is more than a foot thick in some places, making life miserable for those who make their living on the water. Scott Werner of Portland, Maine, said this winter has been 'a horror show' for lobster fishermen like himself. The ice has prevented him from getting his boat out to fish in recent weeks, and cut into his ability to make money in the already slow winter lobstering season, he said. 'I'm not going to risk it. I don't want to break anything,' Werner said. 'It's been brutal, but what are you going to do?' Scroll down for video . New lows: Portland Harbor in Maine is encountering more ice than ever thanks to the coldest February on record - several lobster boats were locked in the ice and ice breakers are needed to keep commerce flowing . Iced waterways are a problem in other Northeast locations, such as off of Boston, where a commuter ferry carrying more than 100 passengers got delayed by about 45 minutes when it was slowed down by the coastal ice pack on February 20. And in New York, where the Coast Guard is cutting ice on the Hudson River so barges carrying heating oil, gasoline and jet fuel can reach destinations. The thickest part is in the area of Germantown and Hudson, north of New York City. In some spots the ice is a foot-and-a-half thick, Coast Guard officials said. 'The barges traveling from New York City to Albany have the most difficult time transiting through that one area, so that's where the Coast Guard is devoting its effort to keep clean,' Coast Guard Lt. Ken Sauerbrunn said. Landlocked: Lobster fishing boats are locked in ice at Widgery Wharf in Portland, Maine . It was the coldest February on record in Portland according to National Weather Service records that go back to 1940. The frigid temperatures froze more than ten lobster fishing boats in ice off of Portland, said Bill Needelman, the city's waterfront coordinator. Fewer fishermen have been able to pursue key food fish such as haddock and pollock, which has cut into landings at the city's fish pier and lessened activity at the Portland Fish Exchange auction, he said. The ice also is causing damage to piers and could contribute to erosion, Needelman said. Freezing conditions: A lobsterman looks out at the icy waters while checking on the condition of his boat in Portland, Maine - Ice clings to pilings at the high-tide mark in the background . He said this year's ice likely will take a heavy toll on waterfront infrastructure in the city. 'It's a highly destructive force and we can anticipate that there will be a lot of maintenance needs and repair needs,' he said. The Coast Guard experienced an approximately two week period in February when it's ice-cutting tug, Shackle, was out cutting ice every day, Chief Warrant Officer Bob Albert said. Cutting was needed in Portland Harbor, the Fore River and parts of Casco Bay to allow for petroleum deliveries

Summary: Scott Werner of Portland said this winter has been 'a horror show' for lobster fishermen like himself . The ice has prevented him from getting his boat out to fish in recent weeks, and cut into his ability to make money in the slow winter lobstering season . The Coast Guard experienced an approximately two week period in February when it's ice-cutting tug, Shackle, was out cutting ice every day .


Meeting the parents of your romantic interest can be a terrifying experience. But imagine how much worse it would be if they had read the sexts you had sent their son to kick off the romance! YouTuber Riyadh Khalaf, 24, bravely invited his mum Lorraine, 46, to join him on his Youtube channel to filter some potential dates by reading out messages he had received on gay dating app Grindr. Ahead of filming Riyadh left the app open on his phone for an hour each night for three weeks, and in the video the pair sit sipping wine as Lorraine proceeds to read out the uncensored messages to her son, who has yet to hear them himself. The experience makes for a cringeworthy but quite adorable video that sees Lorraine shocked by some of the explicit messages that her son has received. 'Group fun.' She reads from one user, 'What does that mean?!' 'That they want to play Monopoly together,' a joking Riyadh responds. Like any good mother Lorraine is quick to offer advice on who might be suitable match for Riyadh. 'He's nice' she says about one Grindr member. When asked why she adds: 'Nice body. Lovely muscles, lovely skin.' Youtuber Riyadh Khalaf invited his mother Lorraine to read his Grindr messages to him on video . But Lorraine isn't impressed by everyone, saying of one user: 'He is gross. Well he's scruffy. His hair's all over the place, he's just a dog.' Despite some awkward messages cropping up including a semi nude picture, Lorraine makes a stoic effort to act cool before admitting that she is 'slightly traumatised' at the end of the video. Ahead of filming Riyadh left the gay dating app open for an hour each night to allow the messages to pour in . Lorraine says she was left 'slightly traumatised' after reading some of the more explicit messages to her son . Speaking to the MailOnline Riyadh says that he couldn't think of anyone better to sift through potential dates than his own mother. 'I decided to get my mom involved because I wanted her to say which ones she found appropriate. 'She has this amazing filter for who would be right for me and so does my dad, they are both very protective of who would be good enough for their boy.' Riyadh says he could not think of anyone better to filter through potential partners than his own mother . Although Lorraine took a little convincing to take part Riyadh says that she turned out to be the more enthusiastic of the two. 'It took me about a month to persuade her. When I first asked she said "absolutely not." 'But I promised to give her complete editorial control and when I had actually edited it she wanted to put more in! 'There were some I had to cut though. I wasn't going to put clips of my mother discussing male appendages online, those clips will never see the light of day.' Although he proved popular on Grindr Riyadh says that the experience hadn't

Pope Francis has said he has accepted that he may be assassinated- but has asked God to make sure it doesn't hurt too much as he is 'a real wimp'. Francis said that if fanatics want to kill him, it is 'God's will'. He said: 'Life is in God's hands. I have said to the Lord, "You take care of me. But if it is your will that I die or something happens to me, I ask you only one favour: that it doesn't hurt. Because I am a real wimp when it comes to physical pain."' Pope Francis has revealed that he accepts he may be assassinated - but has asked God to make sure it does not hurt too much . The pope made the light-hearted comments in an interview with Buenos Aires favela tabloid La Carcova News in which inhabitants of the shantytown Villa La Carcova collectively came up with the questions. The parish priest of the extremely poor area is Jose Maria Di Paola, or Father Pepe, described as 'the spiritual son of Francis'. For months, there have been threats against Pope Francis by the ISIS militants, who call him the 'bearer of false truth.' In January an assassination plot to kill Francis by detonating a bomb in Manila was reportedly thwarted by the Philippines military, although this was denied by the Vatican. Former Special Action Force (SAF) commander Getulio Napeñas testified before the Philippine senate that the Philippines National Police had received information that Southeast Asian Jihadist terrorist organization Jemaah Islamiya, planned to set off a bomb near the papal convoy. Francis (pictured) said that if fanatics want to kill him, it is 'God's will'. he made the comments in an interview with Buenos Aires tabloid La Carcova News . Italian prosecutors have also warned that the Mafia have considered a lethal strike on Francis. Francis also used the unusual interview to address the concerns of the slum dwellers. He condemned drug trafficking saying that there are now countries that are 'slaves to drugs', and where the traffickers are 'triumphant because they feel that they have won'. He also answered the concerns of those that feel that today's children 'often live virtual relationships,' The real 'danger' is that children today have the capacity to gather information, but will be transformed into 'young museums', who do not know what to do with what they know. He said he would visit Argentina in 2016 'in principle'.

Summary: Pope Francis says that if fanatics want to kill him them it is 'God's will' But said in interview he was a 'real wimp' when it came to physical pain . There have been a number of threats against him by Islamic State militants .


Prince Charles can often be found in his study late at night writing letters to ministers, civil servants and other prominent figures . Long after the servants – and his wife – have retired to their beds at Clarence House, Prince Charles can often be found in his study, a lamp burning on the desk as he scratches away in black ink. At his most productive period, his passionate words have poured out at the rate of 1,000 letters a year to ministers, civil servants and other prominent public figures. To regular recipients, this correspondence is known as the ‘black spider’ memos, which have been thumping on to the desks of successive government members for well over three decades. An underlined phrase here, an exclamation mark there and notes of emphasis in the margins everywhere. This has been the Prince’s modus operandi for tackling the issues of the day for so long now that no one among his staff can remember a time when he was not crafting these often heartfelt missives in the dead of night. He sees it as his constitutional duty to speak his mind about the subjects that matter to him. Indeed, the closer he edges to the throne, the more opinionated he seems to become. He freely admits that he is an ‘inveterate interferer and meddler’. Only last week he made a rare public defence of his interventions during a visit to Washington. Asked why he ‘still cared so much’ about environmental issues, he replied: ‘Well, I’ll turn it round the other way. I think you’d be surprised if I didn’t care about things,’ adding: ‘There’s an awful lot to worry about.’ To some, these regal intrusions have become dangerously parti pris and political – a charge Charles denies. In private, he maintains that because he’s been around so long and meets so many different people his own experiences of many matters are often greater than those of the minister charged with dealing with them. Indeed, there is an argument he would have avoided the controversy over the 27 letters written to seven Whitehall departments in a six-month period between September 2004 and March 2005 – and seized back the initiative – by disclosing them in full himself. One former advisor tells me that he would have urged the Prince to publish them on his website to allow the public to make up its mind about their content. ‘Publish and be damned, because what he was saying was just great common sense that would strike a chord with the public,’ the ex-aide says. Instead, a legal battle has waged for ten years. According to former Attorney General Dominic Grieve, who fought the case all the way to the Supreme Court because he said the notes risked sacrificing the political neutrality of the future king, they reflect the Prince’s ‘most deeply held personal views and beliefs’. Yet not all his views are expressed with sense. Long before these fears surfaced, it was known that Charles was at odds with the then Labour government. In 2002, he was reported

Summary: Prince Charles often writes to ministers, civil servants and public figures . At his most productive period, Charles has written 1,000 letters a year . To regular recipients, these letters are known as the 'black spider' memos . However, previously leaked letters reveal a snapshot of his political views .


Terry Gibson is sitting in a restaurant in Wimbledon, recalling the 12 absurd and wonderful chapters of his life that were spent in this part of town. ‘It was nuts,’ he says. ‘You didn’t need Fash and Jonesy to lie about what went on — the reality was mad enough.’ In time, Gibson will come back to the sore point of how the Wimbledon side of the Eighties was represented in a recent documentary. Terry Gibson laughs whilst recalling his eventful spell playing for Wimbledon's Crazy Gang . He will address the myth that the Crazy Gang was ruled by the bullying of John Fashanu and Vinnie Jones, even if there is a memory of the former stripped to his underpants and covered in baby oil ahead of a dressing-room fight. But, for now, Gibson wants to laugh rather than seethe. The little striker, who won the Cup, once told Alex Ferguson where to go and pocketed £200 for scouting Pablo Zabaleta, wants to present a fuller picture of life at Plough Lane. ‘I remember Dennis Wise,’ he says. ‘Just after we won the FA Cup in 1988 players were getting sold and he was desperate for Bobby Gould to give him a big move. We went on a trip to Sweden and he’s bought a load of fireworks. Back at the hotel, Wisey is letting them off from the fifth floor into a crowded street. The locals are running for cover. Unbelievable. Bobby knew he was trying to force a move and wouldn’t budge. Just another day at Wimbledon.’ The Wimbledon players celebrate having won the 1988 FA Cup at Wembley against favourites Liverpool . Gibson poses for the camera when speaking to Sportsmail's Riath Al-Samarrai about his career . Gibson laughs. ‘There was a time when Fash was telling the newspapers he was getting threatening letters at the training ground,’ he says. ‘We all knew it was rubbish so one day I cut out letters from a newspaper, like in the films, and spelled, “Meester Fash, we are watching your every move”. I slipped it in his pocket and when he found it he starts panicking. He disappears with his big mobile phone and the next day’s papers say Fash has had another threat. He always was a drama queen.’ Gibson adds: ‘My first day at the club, I saw Wisey pinching the Volkswagen badge off Vinnie Jones’s dad’s truck. Vinnie was panicking that his dad was going to kill him. ‘There were a lot more laughs than people might have thought based only on the documentary.’ John Fashanu, in action during his Wimbledon playing days, was certainly a character in the Crazy Gang . Gibson, like most associated with the programme, The Crazy Gang, has taken exception to claims from Fashanu that he was ‘the leader’ and ruled by fear. ‘The truth is we tolerated Fash,’ says Gibson, who spent six years at the club. ‘He was a bit of a clown. He was the perfect player for us but he always tried to present himself as something he

Lasting love: The star with husband Grant Roffey . Having forged a career starring in Hollywood blockbusters and packed theatres, people might assume Julie Walters to be brimming with confidence. But the veteran star has revealed that when it came to romance in her younger years, she relied on a helping hand from alcohol to bring her out of her shell. The mother-of-one, 65, has admitted that before meeting her husband Grant Roffey, 57, thirty years ago, she had never had sex while sober. However, now she has been diagnosed with a yeast allergy she almost never drinks and, on the rare occasions she does, hates the effect it has on her health. In a candid interview, she also reveals she is finding it increasingly difficult to learn her lines, a problem she has increasingly found as she stars in new series Indian Summers. The Mamma Mia! star met Mr Roffey while she was starring in a production of Macbeth and began a whirlwind romance almost immediately but they only married in 1997, 11 years into their relationship. Talking to Saga magazine, she has said how their first encounter ended with a drunken tryst and that, at that time in her life, she always needed to drink before being able to have sex. She described how she and a friend had drunk three bottles of champagne before bumping into her future husband at a bar in Leicester. She said: ‘It was full of Hooray Henries. I remember saying, “I bet nobody here’s a member of the Labour Party.” And he turned round and said, “Well I am, actually.” ‘“Cor, you’re massive! Look at this bloke’s neck. God, it’s as big as my thigh!” I was so embarrassing. We started talking about God knows what, and when Ros [her friend] and I left he said, “I’ll see you home.” And we staggered out with him. ‘So we walked Ros home, then he walked me home. I said, “Come in!” He said, “No, it’s all right.” I said, “Come iiiiinnn! I’ve got a bottle of Beaujolais Nouveau!” He moved in and never moved out. It was instant for me. ‘I remember saying, “Do you want my children?” That first night – terrible things! – it was driven by alcohol. I was shy like that. Who’d have sex without alcohol? Especially the first time. He was really sweet about it. Before we were together, I don’t think I’d ever done it sober.’ While she might owe her happy marriage to alcohol, she now hardly touches a drop due to a yeast allergy. She explains that she had always felt ill after drinking but assumed it was the same for everyone. It was only well into adulthood that a doctor suggested an allergy test that revealed the true cause. The actress met her husband in 1986 and began a whirlwind romance almost immediately. Pictured, Julie flaunts her sexy side that same year in comedy Car Trouble . She said: ‘If I were to have Marmite, it would just take the roof of my mouth right off.

In a bid to potentially bring the woolly mammoth back from the dead scientists have begun extracting DNA from the remains of a beast found in Siberia. A team of experts took samples of bone marrow from the extinct creature's front left leg during a special symposium at a university in Siberia on Monday. The samples will be examined at a laboratory in Yakutsk and by scientists in South Korea with the hope of being able to clone one of the prehistoric animals. Scroll down for video . A team of experts took samples of bone marrow from the extinct creature's front left leg during a symposium at a university in Siberia on Monday (pictured). The samples will be examined at a laboratory in Yakutsk and by scientists in South Korea with the hope of being able to clone one of the prehistoric animals . At the very least, the Russians hope to decipher the mammoth's complete DNA structure by 2017. The perfectly-preserved remains were discovered two years ago in the Sakha Republic permafrost region, having been frozen for about 28,000 years. Dr Semyon Grigoriev, the director of the Mammoth Museum in Yakutsk, told The Siberian Times: 'If the samples are good then our coordinated work, I think, will allow in a year or two to decipher the world's first nuclear genome of the mammoth. 'Today the technology allows it. We're doing all this as part of 'the Revival of Mammoth' project, which is being implemented in two ways. The perfectly-preserved remains (pictured) were discovered two years ago in the Sakha Republic permafrost region, having been frozen for about 28,000 years. It is thought the carcass belonged to a female woolly mammoth aged between 50 and 60 when she died . Mammoth blood (shown) was also found in the permafrost close to the perfectly-preserved trunk. Experts will use modern methods to analyse samples taken from the creature and the facility, which will specialise in molecular palaeontology, will also study the remains of other dinosaurs found in the region . 'Firstly by searching for live cells, culturing them and creating a clone, then secondly by creating artificial living cells based on artificial nucleus DNA.' The remains, complete with the creature's famous hair, were discovered in May 2013 on an Arctic island off the diamond-rich Sakha Republic, the largest region in Russia. Mammoth blood was also found in the permafrost close to the perfectly-preserved trunk. It is thought the carcass belonged to a female aged between 50 and 60 when she perished. The team was led by the Dr Hwang Woo Sul, a professor of the Korean Foundation of Biotechnology Research in Seoul (pictured above the carcass). The work forms part of 'the Revival of Mammoth' project, which plans to search for live cells, culture them and create a clone before creating artificial living cells . The mammoth (remains pictured) was roughly the size as a modern African elephant, standing up to 11ft (3.3 metres) tall and weighing about seven tonnes. Its fur and long hair protected it from the harsh winters. The remains

Arsene Wenger has insisted there is no European crisis for English clubs despite a second year out of three with no representatives in the last eight of the Champions League – but he does believe it is time to change the away-goals rule. Arsenal and Chelsea both crashed out of the competition on away goals in the first knockout stage, beaten by Monaco and Paris Saint-Germain respectively. Wenger, however, has long championed a change to the rule. Arsenal crashed out of the Champions League on away goals despite beating Monaco on Tuesday . Monaco scored three away goals at the Emirates which proved to be the difference in the tie . If at the end of two-legged tie the score is level, the team that has scored the most goals away from home is declared the winner. For example, Monaco beat Arsenal 3-1 away from home before losing 2-0 in Monte Carlo. With the score tied at 3-3, Monaco progressed courtesy of having scored on more goal on their travels. 'That's a rule that's outdated now and should be changed,' the Arsenal boss said. 'It should count maybe after extra-time. It was created in the 1960s to get teams to attack away from home. 'Since then football has changed and the weight of the away goals is too big today. Maybe count it after extra-time like in the League Cup in England. 'I think the quality of Premier League is high and physical demands are extreme but I'm not in the mood to analyse too much what's wrong with English football. I don't think there's a lot wrong.' Wenger must pick up his players ahead of Saturday's game at Newcastle as the battle for a top-four finish in the Premier League continues. He added: 'The mood is down and we are disappointed. The tie lasted 180 minutes and we were not cautious enough in the first 90. We know why we went out, it's down to a dreadful defensive performance in the first leg. Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger wants the away-goals rule changed in European competition . Manchester City were the third English club to be knocked out at the last-16 stage after they lost to Barcelona . 'We must focus on next targets and we have to continue to improve. We are better today than four months ago. 'Let's keep that attitude. There's a fantastic spirit and great quality. Let's rectify what we didn't do well in first game and continue to improve. 'We've won 13 of the last 15 and that's down to quality and improvement. We are not in a transfer period. Ninety-five per cent of the players will still be here next season and what is important is their attitude and improvement. We are in the semi-finals of the FA Cup, and in a strong fight in the Premier League. We can do that straight away on Saturday. 'We're on a good run. We won the game in Monaco. We're frustrated and disappointed to go out but that's down to our home performance especially on the defensive front.
