Vodka on tap

Russian customs officers have found a mile-long pipeline pumping vodka to Latvia.

Police in Bulholovo, said criminals had laid the tunnel six feet underground and sold the vodka to the neighbouring country.

The pipeline was discovered when council workers were digging holes to plant trees.

Police officer Yakov Kabanov said: "We had our suspicions that there was someone running hooch across the border but we could never figure out how they managed it. They probably
would have got away with it for decades if the trees hadn't been planted."

Hoffman was released on bail but failed to appear for his court hearing this week.

Boob-bags

A Bulgarian woman's breast implants have saved her life.

Elena Marinova, 24, from Sofia, was involved in a full frontal car crash with another car in the northern city of Ruse.

Both cars were written off, but Marinova escaped serious injury because her 40DD breast implants acted as airbags.

A police expert explained that the silicone enhancements had "absorbed the impact of the crash".

He added: "They worked just like airbags - protecting the victim's ribs and vital organs from damage.

"However they are not as safe as the real thing because they exploded, which airbags are not supposed to do."
