1. Groom dies just hours after marrying his soulmate.
Newlywed Michelle Plumley ought to be on her honeymoon, basking in the joy of her recent wedding and the love of her soulmate. Instead the British woman is appealing for donations to help cover the costs of her husband’s funeral.
Bristol man Scott Plumley died on August 15, just 13 hours after he and Michelle wed in hospital. The 41-year-old had been diagnosed with Stage 4 oesophageal cancer just two days prior, after experiencing persistent indigestion.
Given a prognosis of “weeks at most”, the couple – who had been together for two years – decided to rush their impending wedding. With the help of family, friends and neighbours, the 32-year-old mother of two managed to pull it together within 20 hours.
“He was so strong, really battling being obviously in pain,” Michelle told The Bristol Post. “He could hardly speak, but when they asked ‘do you take this woman’ when we were saying our vows, he answered loudly: ‘I sure do!’”
Scott died at 1:30am on their wedding night, with Michelle by his side.
“I sat with him, holding his hand and he smiled, and kept saying he was sorry and ‘I love you’. I was holding him and kissing him and he took three gasps of breath and I said, ‘It’s OK baby, I will be fine, you can now, and get out of the pain.’”
Michelle and her family have now launched a GoFundMe page in an effort to give her husband the “send off he deserves”.

It is VERY VERY difficult to "fall off" a cruise ship. Clearly more to that story.
3. Can Abbot please shut up and go away already? His obstinance in refusing to acknowledge climate change and reduce carbon emissions is just embarrasing (and dangerous). With the NEC Turnbull is reducing emissions and electricity prices, everyone agrees except climate change skeptics, what’s the problem?
Because idiots like Ray Hadley Alan Jones and Andrew Bolt believe that Turnbull is not a true conservative and they believe that the LNP is a conservative party and should be led by a true conservative. They would like Abbott back as leader as would I, because that would gift Bill Shorten the lodge.
But with Abbot in power we’ll be hastening climate catastrophe. It won’t matter who is in The Lodge because society will have broken down.
Apparently, the NEG didn't deliver reduced power prices which is why there was a revolt among some of the back benchers.
