Man dies while ambulance drivers on break

Posted on January 20, 2014 by taxicle

A man waited 48 minutes for an ambulance after a heart attack because ambulance drivers were on break.

This may mean the real demonoid is back very soon.

Mad woman sent to bedlam

Posted on January 13, 2014 by taxicle

In true arrogant aristocrat style, the president of France, wary of any embarrassment that might be caused by his wife after he has been exposed having an affair, has had his wife spent to an asylum.
This is how they still do things in France.
