Firefighters rescue man, 20, stuck for hours in swing
Yes, you are definitely stuck...
A man had to be rescued by police and the fire service after getting stuck in a child's swing in a play park.
The 20-year-old had been firmly wedged in the child-sized seat for three hours before police were called to Landseer Park in Ipswich at 07:50 BST.
When a "shove and pull" method of swing-release failed, the fire service arrived with a trusty screwdriver.
The swing was taken apart and the "grateful but embarrassed" grown-up was freed unharmed.
A Suffolk police community support officer quickly realised the man - who complained he had been in there for three hours - was definitely stuck.

There was no shifting him as the girth of his rear was clearly too wide for the child-sized swing.
After taking the swing to pieces and releasing the man, crews from Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service put it back together so it could be safely used by someone of the right size.

This is so true and very funny at the same time.
P.S. If anyone answers no politics, then please don't I will be offended.

Kylie at 50, doesn't look bad at all. Though the photographer asked her to wear a G string, not this one though I guess.
Don't know about anybody else but I found this a bit creepy. Put me in mind of Burke and Hare.

Never liked the programme but respect to Peter Kaye.
How the **** does he see to drive with all that ****e in the way?
I am the opposite, i thought it was very funny, especially the dogging one in the first series.
Mind you, you havent seen some of the ****e they serve up here as comedy.....
Is that a would (if you had the nerve to try) or a wouldn't?
She's one powerful young woman - if she wanted it, I don't think you'd have a lot of say in it
