Caption: Nag For Sale - Wife That Is
A BRITISH man fed up with his wife's complaints advertised her for sale - and got a number of offers.
"Nagging Wife. No Tax, No MOT (roadworthy certificate). Very high maintenance - some rust," wrote Gary Bates, 38, in a small ad in Trade-It, more usually used to buy and sell cars or household goods.
Mr Bates, a self-employed builder from Gloucestershire, southwest England, snapped after his wife Donna on got on his nerves while she was watching television and he decided to place the ad as a joke.
"She was nagging me for doing something small, while she was watching some rubbish on TV. So I just thought I'd put an ad in to get rid of her.
"I didn't think anyone would ring up but I've had at least nine or 10 people calling about her. It's gone mad. There was no one I knew - just people asking, 'Is she still available?'"..

AN Indonesian villager had to be rushed to hospital after a horse bit off one of his testicles.
The 35-year-old man was unloading sand from a horse-drawn cart at a construction site in Sulawesi earlier this week when the attack occurred, Indonesia's state-run news agency Antara reported.
A witness said the animal suddenly lunged at the man, sinking its teeth into his crotch.
Shocked bystanders loaded the man into a car to take him to hospital, before one noticed a piece of flesh on the pavement.
"Luckily the horse did not chew up or swallow his testicle, but spit it onto the pavement," the bystander was quoted as saying.
"So I picked it up and brought it to the doctor at the hospital where the victim was being treated

SOME sexual experimentation landed an American woman in a hospital with injuries tough to imagine and even more difficult to forget.
The Maryland woman was flown to hospital on Monday after she was injured in the incident involving a sex toy attached to a sabre saw blade, according to NBCWashington.com.
The man who called 911 about the incident admitted attaching the sex toy to the saw and then using the high-powered, homemade device on his partner, the St Mary's County Sheriff's Office said.
NBCWashington.com reported the saw cut through the plastic toy and wounded the woman.
The injuries were severe enough for her to be flown to hospital but she was released on Tuesday.

OMAHA, Neb. — Some of the dozens of new cars that vanished from a western Nebraska car dealership have turned up in other states and warrants have been issued for three missing executives, a prosecutor said Wednesday.
The 81 Fords and Toyotas taken from Legacy Auto Sales in Scottsbluff were valued at about $2.5 million.
Chief deputy county attorney John Childress of Scotts Bluff County said seven of the cars were found Wednesday at an auto auction in Utah. Others were found in Arizona, but he didn't know the number.
Childress said arrest warrants had been issued for owner Allen Patch, controller Rachel Fait and general manager Rick Covello, who are wanted on suspicion of theft.

A man has survived a plunge over Niagara Falls, clinging to a log long enough for a private helicopter to create a current that pushed him to safety, according to reports.
Investigators tell a Buffalo television station, WGRZ, that the victim was semiconscious when he was rescued and was taken to a hospital in Niagara Falls, Canada. His condition was not immediately known.
While investigators were not yet calling the leap a suicide attempt, they say the man did enter the water on his own. Authorities got a call from a witness telling them a man had jumped into the Horseshoe Falls, as the Canadian Falls are known. A short time later, he was seen near the base of the falls, clinging to a log.
A private helicopter from Niagara Falls Helicopter was called in and got within three metres of the victim. Wind from the chopper's blades forced enough of a current to push him closer to shore where rescuers could get to him.

GOOD HOPE, Ala. — It's one thing for a church in a big city like Dallas or Atlanta to tackle the ticklish topic of sex. It blends in with the urban scene.
It's another thing when a small-town congregation puts up billboards with the phrase "Great sex: God's way" on rural highways to promote a sermon series. You can't even legally buy beer in Cullman County, and a preacher is talking about S-E-X on Sunday morning?
Daystar Church, whose congregation has grown dramatically under pastor Jerry Lawson, has run up against the sensibilities of a conservative north Alabama community with a monthlong focus on sex.

A VICTORIAN funeral home worker accused of stealing cash from the houses of dead people told an assistant they "wouldn't need it any more", a court heard.
It was alleged David Rawlins, 37, looked through bedside drawers, under mattresses and in wardrobes.
Former colleague Rhiannon Leo told the Melbourne Magistrates' Court she saw Mr Rawlins steal money from a tin on a refrigerator as an elderly man lay dead on the kitchen floor.
Mr Rawlins then allegedly looked through the dead man's wallet.
Ms Leo said Mr Rawlins later told her that he should have stuffed something in the tin to stop it rattling and taken it from the house inside the body bag.
As he searched another man's shoes on the pretext of looking for house keys, Mr Rawlins allegedly said: "It's amazing where people hide things."
He also allegedly told Ms Leo that police who first arrived at the homes of the dead would have taken their share, and that "whatever was left was for us".

A FORMER soldier suffering trauma from his time in the army took a loaded gun into a Brisbane nightclub because he wanted to impress women, a court has been told.
Samuel John Radoll, 21, approached two women in The Met nightclub on October 25 last year and asked them to feel the "awesome" thing he had down his pants, the Brisbane Magistrates Court was told today.
The first woman happily chatted to Radoll, sat on his lap and had her photo taken with him after she discovered he had a gun secreted down the front of his jeans.
But the second woman reported him to security personnel, the court was told.
When security guards approached Radoll and tried to take the gun he struggled with them and warned them it was loaded.
