REAL LIFE NEWS: ARE WOMEN REALLY THAT SCARY?

Two stories here about the criminal lengths men will go to avoid confronting their wives...
Groom fakes bomb scare to avoid telling bridge he forgot to book the venue
Neil McArdle, a 36-year-old man, was due to marry his fiancée earlier this year. They had chosen their date and decided to marry at Liverpool Register Office and McArdle had the job of booking the venue, and completing the “right to marry” paperwork.
But for reasons unknown – sheer disorganisation, maybe – he failed to do either of those things, and he didn’t want to own up to his beloved that he had screwed up. So on the morning of the wedding he used a phone booth near his home to phone up the venue and tell them, “There’s a bomb in St George’s Hall and it will go off in 45 minutes”.
The wedding party turned up at the venue to find it was being evacuated – but this wasn’t enough to stop them figuring out that there was no booking for the wedding.
Police tracked the hoax call back to McArdle later that day and he confessed. He is now facing a jail sentence. The good news is that while he waits to be sentenced, his bride is standing by him. I assume that if they reschedule the wedding for after he is released, she will do the organising herself!
Man stages his own kidnapping so he can go out and party with his friends
If you thought that was an amazing story, wait till you read about Rogelio Andaverde.
He wanted to go out drinking with his buddies, but for reasons that have not been explained, he didn’t want to tell his wife. So in order to create an excuse to sneak off to the pub, he staged his own kidnapping. He got two of his friends to force their way into his house, wearing ski masks and brandishing guns, and “abduct” him.
The good news: that got him out of the house so he could go party.
The bad news: his wife was petrified and called the police. Dozens of officers and a helicopter were deployed to try and track down the kidnappers. The search was called off after a few hours because the police had no leads, but they continued to question his wife until the early hours of the morning – and all the while she must have been imagining all kinds of terrible things.
Next morning, he returned home and told his wife he had been released. But his story soon unravelled and police figured out it was a set-up. He’s now been charged with making a false report to police.
