Witnesses say she seemed unperturbed by her lack of clothing – despite the fact that many parts of Austria had experienced heavy snow falls and the temperature in Vienna was close to freezing.
One passenger who saw the woman at the Kardinal-Nagl-Platz station said: “I couldn’t believe it when she stepped on the train and when some people grabbed their mobile telephones and started taking pictures she didn’t object – in fact she even seemed to be posing for the camera.”
He said that a few stops later the young woman climbed off the train without saying anything. One local newspaper is now offering her a photoshoot – if she agreed to come forward and explain the story behind the stunt.
Honeymoon scrapped to pay for dog’s op
A newlywed couple cancelled their dream £7,500 honeymoon in Las Vegas – to pay for an operation for their pet dog.
Claire and Ceri Morgan were set to fly off on their luxury break when they discovered American bulldog Teeto had cancer.
Morgan, 36, a garage worker, from Morriston, South Wales, said: “We were looking forward to our dream honeymoon but Teeto had to come first.
“He’s such a special dog, we had no hesitation. We had to use the money for his vets bills.”
Since his diagnosis Teeto has had his right leg amputated to fight the cancer in his right shoulder. He has also undergone a course of chemotherapy but is now said to be doing well.
Morgan, 26, added: “We told the vet that it didn’t matter about the money, just do whatever it takes to make him better.
“We can go on honeymoon again when we’ve saved up but a dog is for life and we want Teeto around for a lot longer.”
The couple became concerned about Teeto last July when he began to walk with a limp.
However, it wasn’t until they watched a TV programme where a dog with similar symptoms was diagnosed with cancer that everything fell into place.
As well as forfeiting their honeymoon, the couple also travelled more than 80 miles from their home every three weeks for Teeto’s chemotherapy.
The number’s busy – can you hold?’
People in a tourist resort are complaining they have to hang on like acrobats to use a new phone booth – to avoid falling over the sea wall.
Callers say they have to hold onto a bar in the booth, in Sanya, southern China’s Hainan Island, to make calls if they want to avoid tumbling over backwards.
And they complain that they even have to tiptoe in the first place to reach the public phone booth owned by China Telecom, in the first place.
Residents suspect that the phone booth was designed this way for the convenience of advertisers wanting to promote their products on the road-facing side.
Tropical Hainan Island was once regarded as a backwater but is now being developed for tourism and is being promoted as China’s Hawaii.
Violent cat fight in Downing Street
Police have been forced to step in to break up a full-scale cat fight in Downing Street. Larry, the Prime Minister’s ‘Chief Mouser’, and Freya, who lives next door with Chancellor George Osborne, clashed outside No. 10. The pair had to be separated and retreated spitting to their respective political fiefdoms, reports the Daily Telegraph.
Freya the silver tabby appeared to have the best of the confrontation, while Larry, who has white and tabby markings, was ordered back inside No 10 to cool down. It is not known what caused fur to fly between the feline residents of No. 10 and 11 Downing Street. Larry was appointed to the post of Chief Mouser to the Cabinet Office nearly two years ago, after being adopted from the Battersea Dogs and Cats Home.
Meanwhile, Freya was reunited with the Osborne family over the summer after going missing from their former home in Notting Hill, west London, three years ago.
She had been living rough and was recognised and returned to the family only after being taken to the vet by a kindly neighbour, where she was identified her from a microchip beneath her skin.
Asked about the apparently frosty relationship between Larry and Freya, a No. 10 spokesman said: “They co-exist.”
