Man jet-skis across Irish Sea to see girlfriend, avoid COVID restrictions
Your chariot awaits.
Scotsman Dale McLaughlan purchased a personal water craft, which he used to cross the Irish Sea and skirt COVID restrictions to visit his new girlfriend in the Isle of Man, according to the BBC. Now he’s in hot water.
McLaughlan reportedly met his girlfriend while doing roofing work in September, then returned home once his four-week stint was finished. After being refused several permits to come back to the self-governing island, McLaughlan purchased a water craft, akin to a Jet-Ski and spent more than four-hours crossing the sea before reaching the island 25 miles away. He then walked 15 miles to the unidentified woman’s home over the weekend. She reportedly believed he was still working on the island.
Tearful 4-year-old boy flooded with Nerf guns after mall Santa denies him one Theresa Braine
When Santa refused to grant a 4-year-old boy his wish for a Nerf gun and left the tot in tears, gun-rights advocates and the Illinois mall itself flooded the family with the toys.
It was clearly a painful moment for Michael DeCarlo as Santa asked him what he wanted for Christmas and he responded with his request for a Nerf Blaster, which shoots foam darts, disks or foam balls that generally bounce harmlessly off their targets.
“Nope. No guns,” Santa said, according to USA Today.
