Man beheads girlfriend.......
Greece is not having a good time of it lately for violent incidences.
After an argument and beheading her dog - Athanassios Arvanitis beheaded his girlfriend - and paraded it for all to see.
He stabbed a police officer whilst being arrested - took off in another police car - ran over two female doctors and was shot 5 times by police.
A police official said:

'They knew he had psychological problems ... but they didn't expect he would reach this point.'

Well - that explains it then doesn't it!?!?

Overfill your bins? Leave them out too early? Put out extra sacks of garbage?.......
Then you could be fined (on-the-spot) up to £110 ($203 approx)!
That is more than a drunken lout or a shoplifter would receive!
People have received fine notices for over-filling bins - but the new on-the-spot fines - according to government guidelines should be at least £75.
However - if you cannot pay straight away - you will be prosecuted and receive a record for just not having that amount of cash available!
Yet another way how to decrease fly-tipping huh???!!!!
