We may lay in a stock of pleasures, as we would lay in a stock of wine; but if we defer tasting them too long, we shall find that both are soured by age. ~ Charles Caleb Colton (1780 - 1832)

Featured News 1: Bride's joke backfires

A bride who jokingly replied 'I don't' found the joke was on her when the registrar refused to go ahead with the ceremony.

Tina Albrecht, 27, was to marry fianc? Dietmar Koch, 29, at a castle in Steyr, Upper Austria.

But after the receptionist tried to bring a bit of humour into the ceremony by saying "I don't" before correcting herself, the authorities called the wedding off.

Under Austrian law, if either party replies to the key question in the negative the wedding is cancelled and cannot be rescheduled for a further 10 weeks - to prevent forced marriages.

Ms Albrecht said: "We had to send all our guests home and now we have to wait until March before we can try again. In retrospect it was probably not so funny."

Featured News 2: Country for sale - £65m

A country is up for sale to anyone who can stump up the £65 million asking price.

The Principality of Sealand is a self-proclaimed mini-state on a former Second World War fort, seven miles off Harwich, Essex.

It has its own passports, currency and stamps, reports the Daily Telegraph.

Sealand became an independent state after ''Prince" Roy Bates occupied it with his family in 1967.

The Royal Navy was sent to evict him but Bates saw them off with warning shots. A judge later ruled that, as Sealand lay outside the three-mile limit, it was outside government control.

Now the nation, which experienced a devastating fire last year, has been put up for sale through Spanish estate agents Inmonaranja.

Anyone who takes on a stake in Sealand, says the brochure, will "be able to share in and become part of the history of the most famous and oldest micro-nation in the world".

Featured News 3: Puppy love for foal

A foal who was raised with dogs thinks his parents are labradors and even chases sticks with them.

Rory was taken in by Essex Horse and Pony sanctuary when he was a just day old after his mother rejected him.

He was nursed back to health by staff at the sancurty and mixed with the dogs, reports Metro.

He has picked up some strange habits as a result, including chasing sticks and frisbees and drinking from a dog bowl.

Sue Allery, manager of the sanctuary said: "Because he was so small he got to know the dogs more than the horses.

"They all ran around together. My husband bought a frisbee and threw it across the yard - Rory went after it just like the dogs. He even started picking up twigs and sticks for us to throw.

"He loves the dogs because they are the same size as him, he thought he was a dog. He'll eventually go out with the other horses and ponies."
