A Romanian town has installed warning signs alerting motorists to the number of drunks crossing the road.

The triangular sign features a man crawling on the floor holding a bottle and has been introduced as the result of a series of accidents.

Mayor of Pecica, Petru Antal said he hopes the sign will act as a warning to motorists who may not know the area - where locals apparently enjoy the town's many bars.

He added that the problem came about because Pecica is a border town which many people drive through quickly on their way somewhere else.

Under the odd graphic it reads 'Attention - Drunks' … the signs are expected to be hanging on the bedroom walls of students by the time anyone sobers up enough to notice.

Millions of Brits are gambling with their future, one-in-ten are relying on a lottery win to fund their retirement, it has been found.

Instead of putting money into a pension or savings account, more than a third are waiting for inheritance money and one in ten are hoping for a big lottery win.

Six per cent even sat they plan to marry someone rich instead of saving for the days when they no longer work.

Slightly more sensible ways people are planning to pay for their lifestyle once they hit retirement age include downsizing to smaller property or simply continuing to go to work.

Hmmm, suddenly we are doubting whether our plan of retiring on all of the money we can find down the back of the sofa is actually realistic.

A demanding bride-to-be told the owner of a bridal shop that her fiance would kill him if he didn't make alterations to her dress.

A mass brawl then broke out in the Detroit store where staff were assaulted by family of the bride.

CCTV cameras show how the confrontation quickly got out of hand when the owner told the irate woman to leave the store.

A group of men - believed to be relatives of the bride - then walked in and started punching staff.

Fashion mannequins were even used as weapons in the fracas… at least the best man now has something to mention in his speech.

A range of sweets have gone on sale that come in wrappers which grow into flowers if dropped on the floor.

The packaging for the chocolates by Marks & Spencer has been impregnated with seeds which grow into Candytuft plants if left on the ground.

Known as Iberis umbellata Rose Cardinal, to the more green-fingered reader, the flowers are popular for their ability to attract British butterflies.

Unfortunately, while the seeds will develop into the pink, white, red or purple flowers within weeks... they will not reproduce the chocolates.

Researchers say they have found a "treasure trove" of previously undiscovered species in the forests of Ecuador.

A recent expedition uncovered dozens of new animals including tiny geckos, a slug-sucking snake and 30 species of rain frog.

Other creatures found in Cerro Pata de Pájaro - a small mountain sitting right atop the Equator - were a glass frog with a transparent chest and lungless salamanders.

Experts say the cloud forest on the site is only a couple miles wide, yet houses at least 14 of the 30 new species known nowhere else on Earth.

However, researchers warn the area is under threat from ecological disturbances and the creatures could become extinct before we ever find them - which after looking at these, would be a shame.

A bull escaped from a rodeo in the US and proceeded to charge around the car park sending visitors fleeing for cover.

The bull, named Hard Ball, had ripped through gates near the Reliant Stadium in Houston before escaping into a nearby car park.

Visitors, who were there to watch the Jonas Brothers perform, scrambled to get away as police used their tasers in a bid to stop it.

But the tasers had little impact - other than to make the bull even more angry - and cowboys who were due to perform, were duly called in.

They soon managed to use their ropes to capture the rampaging beast… and drumm up a few extra audience members with their performance.

Students would perform better in exams if they spent time looking at the letter A, it has been claimed.

And bizarrely, psychologists say exposure to the letter F can even make a student more likely to fail a test.

A study at the University of Missouri looked at the impact of looking at the letters on 130 students. Each of them were sat in front of a test labelled A or F before completing it.

The average score for those who had looked at the A was 11/12 while those who had looked at the F only scored 9/12.

It's thought the inherent implications of an 'A' or 'F' are enough to influence motivational state and performance… say the experts who now write a big A at the top of everything they do.

The Shambles, a famous cobbled lane in York has been named as the most picturesque street in Britain.

Lined with 15th Century buildings The Shambles took the title in the Google Street View Awards for being uniquely British and visually charming.

A panel of experts had created a shortlist which were then voted on by 11,000 people which were viewable on Google Street View.

Stockbridge High Street in Hampshire was voted the best foodie street and Milson Street in Bath won the award of best fashion street in the poll.

One in ten women fake an orgasm almost every single time they have sex, a new study has found.



Researchers found that a whopping 48 per cent of British women have faked it in bed, with nine per cent admitting they do it most of the time, or even every time they have sex.



Seven per cent have even dumped their other half because they didn't satisfy them in bed, but just one in ten of those told them the real reason for the break-up.


Exeter was found to be the city where women are most likely to have faked an orgasm (57 percent) followed by Brighton (56 percent) and Belfast (57 percent).

Women in Oxford fake their orgasms least with only 35 percent owning up to having done it. In other odd news a surprisingly high number of women from Exeter are planing weekend breaks in Oxford.

A pair of "captured sprits" which were put up for sale online after being exorcised from a New Zealand house, have been sold for £1,300.

The seller - who advertised them on the TradeMe auction website - said her house had been haunted for several years until an exorcism was recently performed.

She claims this trapped the spirits in two glass vials where they were kept thanks to stoppers dipped in holy water.

The auction attracted more than 214,000 page views and dozens of bids which reached £1,300.

It's not known what the winning bidder plans to do with the bottled spirits but suggestions have ranged from, releasing them or returning them to their families, to drinking them.
