Wayne Rooney party girl jokes about footballer’s manhood and dubs him Shrek

 The footballer was arrested for drink-driving after meeting the party girl on a night out

Laura Simpson has since deleted the posts where she made reference to Rooney's manhood after the pair's now notorious night out in Cheshire.
The 29-year-old reportedly said the striker had "tekkers" and referred to him as "Shrek", the Metro reports.

She was asked "was he hung like a hamster or ogre?" and she replied "like an ogre".

The odd messages were swiftly deleted before she claimed a friend had got hold of her phone and had also posted tweets about drink-driving.

She later wrote: "I deleted the very insensitive tweet that my friend thought was funny at the time…obviously wasn’t, apologies #verystupidstory."
Her friend Jordan replied: "Couldn’t resist when she left her phone on the table…I could have put something far worse to be fair haha."

Simpson was with Rooney when he was stopped by police while drink-driving, after they met on a night out.

Police Say 3 Deaths Could Be Work Of Serial Killer 'Terrorizing' Tampa

Authorities believe the same individual is responsible for the deaths of Monica Caridad Hoffa, Anthony Naiboa and Benjamin Edward Mitchell.

A string of murders in Florida is sparking fears that a serial killer is targeting Tampa residents.

According to police, three people have been shot and killed this month, apparently at random. The victims have no known connections to each other and were all bus riders who were killed within a 1-mile radius of each other in central Tampa’s Seminole Heights neighborhood.

“When you look at the time frame, the proximity, that there is no apparent motive, that they are alone ― the victims are a lot of the time ― it’s clear to me that they’re all linked,” interim Tampa Police Chief Brian Dugan said at a Friday press conference.
The victims have been identified as Monica Hoffa, 32; Benjamin Mitchell, 22; and Anthony Naiboa, 20.

Barack Obama couldn't stop laughing after George W. Bush whispered in his ear

All five living former U.S. presidents gathered at a hurricane relief concert in Texas to raise money for victims of Hurricane Harvey, Irma, and Maria on Saturday night -- and the Internet can't stop obsessing about one moment between George W. Bush and Barack Obama.

During his time in office, Obama was known for his composure and, at times, even disposition. But over the weekend, the former president completely lost it at the relief event hosted by One America Appeal.
While Bill Clinton delivered a speech discussing the enduring disaster in Puerto Rico, the younger Bush smiled and appeared to whisper something to Obama, making him laugh behind Bill Clinton.

A Russian Ghost Submarine, its U.S. Pursuers and a Deadly New Cold War

a large ship in a body of water
The Krasnodar, a Russian attack submarine, left the coast of Libya in late May, headed east across the Mediterranean, then slipped undersea, quiet as a mouse. Next, it fired a volley of cruise missiles into Syria.

In the days that followed, the diesel-electric sub was pursued by the aircraft carrier USS George H.W. Bush, its five accompanying warships, MH-60R Seahawk helicopters and P-8 Poseidon anti-sub jets flying out of Italy.

The U.S. and its allies had set out to track the Krasnodar as it moved to its new home in the Black Sea. The missile attack upended what had been a routine voyage, and prompted one of the first U.S. efforts to track a Russian sub during combat since the Cold War. Over the next weeks, the sub at points eluded detection in a sea hunt that tested the readiness of Western allies for a new era in naval warfare.
An unexpected resurgence in Russian submarine development, which deteriorated after the breakup of the Soviet Union, has reignited the undersea rivalry of the Cold War, when both sides deployed fleets of attack subs to hunt for rival submarines carrying nuclear-armed ballistic missiles.

When underwater, enemy submarines are heard, not seen—and Russia brags that its new subs are the world’s quietest. The Krasnodar is wrapped in echo-absorbing skin to evade sonar; its propulsion system is mounted on noise-cutting dampers; rechargeable batteries drive it in near silence, leaving little for sub hunters to hear. “The Black Hole,” U.S. allies call it.

"For me, it was a thrill. She's just wonderful," one man said.

Inside the cardboard cut-out, you'll find a laptop with 100-year-old grandmother Eileen Wilkinson waiting to chat.

Over the past three months, hundreds of people have stopped by, chatting with Wilkinson like they were old friends.
