Man offers Lamborghini as part of deal to sell 1.1million pounds home

Room with a view no longer applies to home sellers, as a businessman who hopes to sell off his 1.1million-pound home offers to throw in his Lamborghini as part of the deal.

Internet tycoon Rick Hill, 30, hopes that his 152,000-pound car will attract prospective buyers, and help him sell off his luxurious six-bedroom house.

"It is a bit of a novelty but I am offering the ultimate lifestyle package. It's a dream home," the Daily Star quoted him as saying.

"I want to retire and am looking for a simpler life. I feel I have been there and done it with the big house and the cars.

"It is time to move on and let someone else enjoy them," he said.

The house in Hockley, near Southend, Essex, has a pool, gym and games rooms, conservatory and two bathrooms.

Big bums and felony don't mix!

A man in Germany prevented a bank from being looted by the same woman robber for the second time when he recognised her enormous bottom, and called the police.

Police officials in Norf have revealed that Sandra Meiser had fled with 28,000 dollars when she robbed the bank for the first time.

Witnesses at the time had suggested that the armed raider was a woman with "very large" backside, they say.

According to them, a 61-year-old man saw the same bottom as they stood in a queue at the same branch weeks later.

"He called the police and they arrested her and found her ski mask and handgun in her jacket. He said he recognised her bottom straight away - he'd never forget something that big," the Daily Telegraph quoted a worker as saying.

Meiser is facing up to 10 years in jail on robbery and firearms charges, while the witness has landed a 10,000-dollar reward.

Meet the toy-mad Brit who has a collection of two million Lego bricks!

A toy-mad Briton has the biggest-ever private collection of Lego toys - containing over two million bricks.

Darren Smith, 32, started collecting the colourful building blocks aged five when he was given a set by his parents as a Christmas present.

His childhood love for Lego has turned into an incredible collection of more than 2,000,000 bricks.

Smith has broken the previous British record held by Phil Traviss, 50, from Yarm in North Yorkshire, who has 500,000 pieces at his home.

Darren of Exeter, Devon and a data analyst by profession said that his favourites Lego figures are the Star Wars characters - particularly C3PO and Darth Vadar.

"I love all Lego but I'm obsessed with the Star Wars stuff. To this day my favourite piece is a gold C3PO limited edition which I keep in a safe place," Telegraph quoted Darren, as saying.

His collection includes over 2,000 sets of pirates, police, cowboys, astronauts, Vikings and super heroes such as Indiana Jones, Spiderman and Batman.

He also has Lego cars, bikes, helicopters, trains, dinosaurs, robots, fire stations, footballers, aliens, Harry Potter and farm animals.

Darren keeps his 50,000 pounds collection in his three-bed home, that fills large garage and a specially converted loft.

"'I love Lego - the colours and the shapes are timeless. Some people might think it's sad but everyone wants to see the collection," he said.

Darren received his first set in 1981 but admits he only went public with his huge collection aged 27 when he joined a club for AFOLs - adult fans of Lego.

"When I was five my parents gave a me a Lego town and I loved it straight away. I was fascinated. As I got older I used to be a bit coy about it but when I turned 27, I joined the Brickish Association, which is a club for adults.

"It was great because I realised I wasn't the only adult in the country who was mad about Lego," he added.

Darren said that he has spent up to 50,000 pounds on Lego but he keeps the cost of his hobby down by scouring jumble and car boot sales for cheap sets.

As well as individual characters and bricks he now builds large models including a 5ft Lego Winnie the Pooh and a 3ft Piglet.

He has started to display many of his creations at exhibitions across the country and is currently working on a major show to be held in Swindon, Wilts.

Gypsy predicted Brit couple's 4mln Pounds lottery win!

A British couple in England have clinched an over four-million-pound lottery win following the prediction by a gypsy.

Gary and Ann Henry of Coronation, near Bishop Auckland, said that an old lady claiming to be a gypsy had come to their roadside burger bar, and predicted the imminent win.

"It was about two weeks ago and it was a horrible wet day. This little old lady, who looked as though she was aged in her 70s came into the bar. She told me some things about my family that were spot on. She also said I was going to have a win on the lottery," the Telegraph quoted Ann, 50, as saying.

"She said she could see the number four but didn't know how many noughts were after it. She said it was maybe 4,000 pounds. She said she was a true gypsy and that she would be back in the area around Christmas time to see if it had come true.

"She said a lot of people claim to be gypsies but that she really was. I do believe in things like this but I didn't really think much of it. We always play the lottery anyway, it wasn't as if I rushed out to buy a ticket," Ann added.

The win, however, turned out to be bitter sweet for the couple, for Henry's brother Jeff Smith lost his life to liver cancer on the same day as they won the lottery.

Husband Gary, 47, a Lib Dem councillor with Wear Valley District Council, said: "There were mixed emotions because just that morning Jeff died. We felt a little bit guilty that we wanted to celebrate in the circumstances."

He revealed: "The main thing I want to do with the money is to build my own house. We will both be cutting back on working and one of my sons and one of Ann's will look after the snack bar."

The Lady's manor in Britain that was turned into a brothel!

A Brit couple, claiming to help people with sex life 'problems', secretly ran a porn club at their cottage on an aristocrat's estate.

The film starred Louise Loder, 30, having sex with a variety of men and she ran the Cleopatra Club with partner Stephen Warr, 51 - charging members a monthly rate.

They also fitted out the cottage with a pole-dancing stage and cubicles.

Now, Lady Charlotte Townshend is asking the tenants to leave after learning orgies were filmed in the cottage.

Managers of the 15,000-acre Melbury Estate in Dorset have got a court order to evict the couple and their two kids.

"Lady Charlotte thinks we're disgusting. But we did nothing illegal. She's a snob," the Sun quoted Louise, as saying.
