How about posting the odd and funny things that you come across in newspapers, radio, TV or simply in the street? I read papers everyday and sometimes come across weird or amusing stories that i like to share with my friends and family, so why not do the same here?? :)Ok here is one i read in the evening paper in the tube:James Blunt sold his sister on eBay. Wednesday, 11 July 2007. The London paper. British singer James Blunt sold his little sister to a wealthy man on auction website eBay - and now she is engaged to the winning bidder.The 'You're Beautiful' star put his sister Emily (with Blunt, above) up for sale because she had no transport and needed a man to take her to a funeral.James said in an interview with GQ magazine: "The stupidest thing I've ever sold is my sister, on eBay."I was waiting for my first album to come out and ended up selling pretty much everything I owned on eBay. I had a mild addiction."Anyway, I came back to the flat where my sister was staying and she was crying because she couldn't get to a funeral in Ireland. The planes were on strike, the ferry was out of season and there were no trains. I ended up whacking it on eBay, 'Damsel in distress seeks knight in shining armour! Desperate to get to a funeral in Southern Ireland, please help!'"The bids flooded in and the guy who won had a helicopter. He flew her to the funeral."That was three years ago, this summer they're getting married!"Who ever said romances that begin online never work?I think this is quite a sweet story :)//en.yabiladi.com/topics/funny-world-44-1962081-1962081.html#msg-1962081 Sun, 07 Jun 2026 06:42:21 +0200 Phorum 5.2.15
