Man goes fishing in flooded cellar


Belgrade - A man whose house was flooded after a storm has found the lighter side by catching trout in his cellar.

Mile Tutic, from Tutici in Montenegro, astounded neighbours by catching eight trout in his cellar when a nearby river burst its banks.

Tutic said: "It's great that I can go fishing whenever I want and I will be sad when the floods subside."

Leave my gnomes alone, woman warns taxman

London - A disabled council tax rebel has sent her collection of garden gnomes into hiding to avoid them being seized by local officials.

The officials had threatened to take the gnomes from widow Gwynneth Lester in Fareham, about 113km south-west of London, after she refused to pay up.

Lester, 57, refuses to pay the tax which finances local services because, she says, she gets nothing for it.

Her rebellion has landed her in court with a demand to pay up about £670 - in cash or in kind - or face prison.

"Well, they won't be taking the garden gnomes now because I have given them away," she said on Monday. "In fact, they won't be getting anything that I have collected over the years because I have given it all away to keep it from them."

wow...basement fishing...i'd never have to leave my home...that gives me an idea...

Well . . that's very convenient, basement fishing.

Eight trout? I could never manage that on my best day in a river...And who thinks, "Get the gnomes", when someone owes money?

So that they can ransom the gnomes of course

As for fishing in the basement.... That could be pretty cool, apart from the fact that everything you stored there would get destroyed.
