In fact Guy’s Hospital medical museum curator Bill Edwards thinks the remains of some poor soul which are a rib-cage and backbone were probably wired together in the 1950’s and since then presumed to be artificial. The curator will also be returning to see if a second skeleton hanging in a cage is also made of human remains. Apparently dungeon bosses are thought to be ’99 per cent’ sure that they are real.

According to the BBC, he said: “I need to go back and examine that one more closely when the Dungeon team can get it down from the wall. But from what I could see, it looks either human, or a combination of some human and some artificial parts.”

Because the first skeleton was found to be human, the London Dungeon must now decide whether or not they are willing to pay for a licence from the Human Tissues Authority which costs £2000 a year.

Spokesman Mark Oakley stated to TravelMail: “We had suspicions that these skeletons might be real, but it still came as a bit of a shock to have it confirmed. We have yet to decide [what to do]. We’ve even talked about giving them a dignified burial. We’re still mulling that. We’ll probably go and look at some artificial skeletons and see how good they are.”

Mr Oakley said: “The London Dungeon is full of secrets and we’re forever turning up surprises.”

They recently discovered that the Dungeon was near a World War Two bomb shelter, which was the scene of ‘quite a horrific tragedy’.
The skeleton remains were set to be used for the London Dungeon’s yearly ‘Satan’s Grotto’ exhibit however because of recent findings they will now be making sure they use artificial props.

Police shut the effected section of the M1 in both directions between junction 32 and 33 whilst clean-up operations were underway. It is believed this also caused problems still this morning during rush hour.

A spokeswoman for South Yorkshire Police said the tanker overturned after being involved in a collision with a motor caravan. The driver of the tanker was taken to hospital however the injuries are not believed to be serious.

A police force spokeswoman said: “We were called at 10.15pm yesterday to reports of a tanker, which was carrying 23.5 tonnes of waste yeast, overturning. Some of the contents were spilled on the northbound carriageway and we are in the process of emptying the remaining contents of the tanker and clearing up the spillage before it can be moved and the road reopened.”

The Highways Agency said it expected the road to be reopened at around 8am.

Marmite is known for its popular ‘love it or hate it’ advertising campaign, however those caught up in traffic because of this incident may have more reason to hate the savoury spread!

The grandmother says she began experiencing the night-time naughtiness in her flat four months ago. She said: “It’s like an octopus. I was lying in bed when I felt this creepy pair of hands. I kicked frantically and it went away. I’ve tried sleeping without the duvet. But it started shaking my mattress. I even threw the mattress off the bed and bought a new one but it has made no difference. This is very creepy and is giving me the jitters. It’s harassing me. I need to call in the Ghostbusters.”

Worried about the disturbances Mrs Birch, who lives alone, consulted a vicar who believes the disturbances are being caused by a ‘lost spirit. However Methodist Minister Hugh-Nigel Sheehan of the nearby United Church was unable to help. So now she is seeking the experts of local husband-and-wife ghost hunting team to get rid of the perverted poltergeist.

Spirit medium Ray Herne says he will draw the ghost into him while his wife Beryl will capture it in a ‘vortex of light’ and send it to the ‘other side’.

Canterbury City Council’s Head of Housing, Larissa Laing, said: “The council has a duty of care and will respond to any complaints or concerns experienced by our tenants. Therefore even though we have received no similar reports from residents living in Margaret Court I’m more than happy to meet Doris Birch and discuss her situation.”

Reports from members of the public of the big cat or possible cub in the area caused the delays as officers searched the area using a police helicopter, train services were resumed after nothing was found. In total passengers were delayed for only 17 minutes before the search was stopped at around 3.30pm. Investigations into the incident were continuing, according to a spokesman for West Yorkshire Police last night.

Network rail also issued a statement stating that one train service was delayed for 17 minutes while police carried out the search. The spokeswoman said: “There were slight delays to services because of the alleged sightings of a lioness and her cub.”

According to Inspector Carlton Young, of West Yorkshire Police the search would be resumed if there were any more reports.
Passengers were kept up to date with the goings on with National Rail Enquiries stating on their Twitter feed: “Passengers are currently unable to alight from trains at Shepley due to reports by police of a lion in the area.”

It’s not the first time police have been scrambled this year due to a big cat sighting, in May Police received several calls reporting sightings of the tiger in a field near Hedge End, Southampton. A police helicopter was scrambled and a golf course cleared after a white tiger was spotted by members of the public. However this tiger turned out to be a stuffed toy!

‘He said it happens all the time and there was nothing he could do.’ ‘But if they knew someone was taking drugs in the toilet, they should do something about it’ Said Stacey Rush, 24.
Miss Rush, a mother of two, said she was sickened to find that drugs and tobacco had been left in a restaurant, never mind a baby changing area, and that she was horrified as staff initially refused to apologise.

She said: ‘I didn’t spot it but then I saw Lily had something in her mouth. When I realised it was cannabis I felt sick. It was all over the floor mixed with tobacco. What if she had swallowed it? There was no apology. All they did is offer a Fruit Shoot to wash the cannabis out of her mouth. I won’t go there again.’

Miss Rush, had taken her daughter into the KFC restaurant just before lunch, and took this opportunity to change her nappy.

She then that the cannabis was lying about on the baby-changing platform and that there was also some on the floor.

‘Goodness knows who left it there – it’s horrifying and sickening to think a mum had been in there rolling a joint while they changed their baby’s nappy. I thought these fast-food restaurants sent people in all the time to check on the toilet areas and baby changing facilities to make sure they’re kept clean. It doesn’t say much for their standards if someone can wander into a baby changing area and smoke a joint without any of the staff noticing. If my baby had ingested some of this cannabis goodness knows what it would have done to her.’

A KFC spokesman then retaliated with the following comment: ‘We were shocked to hear of this incident, and have spoken with Miss Rush to apologise for her experience. We take hygiene very seriously in all of our stores, and our toilets are cleaned every half an hour. We are currently investigating the substance to determine what it was, and have reminded staff at our Newbury restaurant to be extra-vigilant in the future.’

The fast food chain says that it is considering compensating Miss Rush. However, it has not yet informed the police, KFC say they will do if the substance is proven to be illegal.

The thirty five year old star f X-rated movie Hi-Ho Hi-Ho, It’s Up Your Arse We Go was discovered in a badgers den, partially eaten, by Ministry of Agriculture experts who were checking the den ahead of a planned badger-gassing program.

The midget porn stars 107 centimetre (3’6″) body was discovered ‘partially gnawed’ in the badger burrow, however at the moment it is unclear how the adult actor died, suicide has not been ruled out by investigators.

Adult film producer Dexter Yamunkeh said “Percy was a little guy with big problems… He was doing well but was under pressure like everyone else in this god damn industry.”

In a recent interview Percy Foster revealed his pleasure about his growing career as Ramsay’s double, he also stated: “Porn lookalikes get more money than normal actors. Dwarf lookalikes are as rare as hen’s teeth and so can command top dollar. I’ve already ordered a new BMW and a diamond-encrusted Soda Stream.”

Hageman had said he served half of a five year term for ABH after he attacked another man however it has been revealed by a court spokesman that he was in fact jailed in 2006 for actual bodily harm on ex-girlfriend Amy Edwards.

ITV are currently under pressure to strip Nathan of his million pound prize and have been locked in talks to decide what to do after he won with the spin of a roulette wheel on Saturday’s Red Or Black game show. According to sources the attack he was jailed for was described as a vicious beating.

MP Hazel Blears said of the situation: “It seems wrong that someone like him should even be allowed on game shows like this, and it is all the more sickening that he has won a million pounds. Domestic violence is one of the most horrible crimes, committed against vulnerable women and sometimes men. In light of his conviction, he should be stripped of his winnings and the money given to a charity supporting its victims.”

So far over 354,000 people have visited the palace since the gown designed by the Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen has been on view. Experts guess that final ticket sales will total around £8million.  The extra visitors this year has meant that visitor numbers are up 20 per cent and some of the proceeds from the display will be going to William and Kate’s wedding charity fund which is currently around £1million.

A lot of the profits will go to help maintain and restore the Royal Collection which includes the palaces, residences and extensive art collections. Thanks to the Royal Wedding there has been a general increase in the Royal family and this has seen ticket sales across its venues and sales of commemorative souvenirs increase meaning income has risen from £7.3million to £41.7million in the year to April.

A spokesperson for the Royal Collection said: ‘This year has been our highest to date. The wedding dress has proved very popular.’

On Saturday an alarm was raised by members of the public after numerous people said that they saw a blue object fall on the south of the Loch, near Dores. AT first police suspected it could have been a hang glider or microlight, hence the full scale search, but after searching the eerie loch they couldn’t find “nothing untoward”.

A member of Loch Ness RNLI crew, Vivian Bailey, said: “Speed of arrival on scene was essential and we were able to link our search efforts with those of the Coastguard and RAF, something we practise regularly. We believe the reports were based on sightings causing genuine concern and we commend the actions of the members of the public that contacted the emergency services.”

The smell left by the incident forced shops to close early and people to leave the village, now police environment chiefs are investigating to find out what happened after the driver left an abattoir. According to police a man is due to appear before Aberystwyth magistrates for alleged breaches of environmental laws.

One holidaymaker, David Edwards, 48, said: “It was gruesome and the stench was horrific. The lorry was on its way from a slaughterhouse with dead cattle inside. But it must have been parked up for a while after being loaded because blood was seeping from the container on the back. It was like something from a horror film – people were sprayed with blood as the lorry went past.”

County councillor Elizabeth Evans said: “I sincerely hope the company are brought to task over this. The place was full of children and the town was packed with tourists. But all of a sudden it was as if someone just came and closed the curtains on Aberaeron. I am working to make sure that everyone affected is compensated.”

A clean up operation was put in place by council workers to tackle the mess left behind which looked like something from a horror movie, they cleaned pavements and washed out gullies to disinfect the town centre and rid it of the pungent smell left behind.

A council spokesman said: “We initiated a mass clean-up operation as soon as they were informed of the lorry having sprayed effluent over both pavement and people. There will be on-going investigations involving the police and environment agency. The council’s environmental services department will assist with their inquiries.”
