“A Gold Coast man has gone to extraordinary lengths to conceal his identity, covering his face in bubble-wrap before he robbed a convenience store at knifepoint. Police have released footage of the robber in the hope that someone may recognize him. The man, believed to be between 20 to 30 years of age, was wearing a black zip-up hooded jacket, board shorts and thongs when he robbed the Main Beach store. He had eye and nose holes cut out of the makeshift bubble wrap mask, which was tied around his head. Gold Coast Police Detective acting Inspector Mark White said the robbery was ‘opportunistic’ and believe the robber stole his plastic wrapping from the back of a ute, which was parked about 328ft down the road.” w/ video + photo

“Based on the better-known sport of arm wrestling, toe wrestling sees competitors use their feet and toes to overpower their opponent. The sport was invented in 1976 when regulars at a Derbyshire pub set about searching for a game that the British could win. A decision was made to invent a new one. Locals in Wetton – where the game was born – have been dominating the sport ever since. This year an epic battle between arch rivals ‘Predatoe’ and ‘Nasty Nash’ dominated proceedings. Paul ‘Predatoe’ Beech beat current world champion Alan Nash in the semi final, leaving him with a clear route to victory.” w/ video
