A man in Swansea has been caught on camera picking up a McDonald’s meal on his horse.

The clip on YouTube shows the man ordering his Big Mac and fries at the Drive-Thru window and collecting it at the next one while being filmed by some highly amused men.

The men filming the so called ’Lone Rider’ are heard cheekily questioning the man while falling about laughing.  They asked the ‘Lone Rider’ if his horse “had a cupholder” which wasn’t dignified with a response.

The staff at the Morriston McDonald’s branch remained professional though they must have found the incident as amusing as the men filming the video.

While waiting at the food counter, the ‘Lone Rider’ is given some carrots for his well-behaved and patient horse and as he rides his horse to a safe area to, er , park; the bemused ‘cameramen’ kindly fetch him his meal.

Must be a Swansea thing as one has also been spotted helping his rider use a cash point machine.

Check out the video below which does contain some swearing.

So it’s confirmed, it’s official, it’s what we all already knew; the UK is the worst place to live in Europe. 

Bad weather, fewer holidays, higher prices on petrol, food, alcohol and cigarettes.  We’re even bled dry by our banks as our mortgage rates are so bad, they give us the worst value in the world.  As a nation of dog lovers, we’re not even allowed to take our dogs into public places with us like they do in France, Germany, America… basically, everywhere else.  We won’t mention the endless cases of animal cruelty that seems to crop up daily at the moment.  Shall we even talk about taxes? 

According to the Quality of Life Index, the amount of money the UK spends on health and education has plummeted .  The UK’s net household income was previuosly the highest, but now we’re ranked fourth. 

Spokeswoman Ann Robinson (no, not that one who does The Weakest Link) of uSwitch.com who organised the index said, “Last year Brits were miserable but rich.  This year we’re miserable and poor. Whereas some countries work to live, in the UK consumers live to work.”

Rich?  Wasn’t there supposed to be a recession on?

The best place to live?  Just hop on the Eurostar; France topped the list followed by Spain and then Denmark.

At least we have things like um… er… any suggestions?

So last year, Derren Brown, mastermind of  magic, psychology and mind trickery, appeared to predict the National Lottery numbers leaving everyone in the country asking each other the question, “how did he do that?” and now, Brown is looking to push the boundaries even further.

On Wednesday night, Channel 4 will screen Brown’s latest show; Hero at 30,000 feet, where Brown will take a normal, ordinary person and give them several challenges to carry out.  The result of which will be a split second decision to take control of a plane, a Boeing 737 no less, and one full of passengers at that, because of the belief that the plane is about to crash at a speed of 500mph.

Brown says of his latest show, “I hope it’s a show that people take something from. We easily let life pass us by, and ultimately this is about engaging with life and understanding that it is the choices we make right now that define us, not what we’ve done in the past.  One unwitting volunteer gets to have a deep understanding of this, and for him to experience real and lasting change, I have to push him to the extreme.”

So last week you had the chance to buy David Beckham’s sports car on eBay (which you can still bid on; the current price is £71,100,00) and now this week, you can buy Kylie Minogue’s London pad.

The luxurious maisonette is located on the top two floors of a mansion block and was placed on the market for £4.5 million earlier this summer.  However, looks like Kylie is getting to know the frustrations of the UK property market at the moment, as she has been forced to slash the asking price by £500,000 to £3,950,000.

Kylie's flat has a beautiful sweeping staircase

Don't be fooled by the sparse interior, Kylie's already moved out

Kylie's living room is full of natural light and is incredibly spacious

The Chelsea flat has amazing views and was refurbished at a price of around £2 million to Kylie’s exact specifications by famed interior designers and developers, Candy & Candy and even has a loft room dance studio!

As the sparse interior shows, Kylie has already moved out of the flat, as according to neighbours, the singer wants to live in a house.

Candyand Candy said that Kylie also wanted “a bigger place so sister Dannii and her baby son Ethan can stay.”

It was reported that Minogue would be relocating to outside the UK however friends say that the star wants to stay in this country.

Kylie is believed to have bought the flat in the nineties and shared it with her brother Brendam before he moved back to Australia in 2002.

Emii has just released this new cartoon series featuring her alter ego “Firebird”. The web series is called “Death to Autotune” and also features a live performance of Emii singing “I’d Rather Be Lonely” at the end of the cartoon -

Fancy a new motor?

Well, why not go all out and buy David Beckham’s old car for a mere £20,000?  The car is a TVR Cerbera sports car and has been modified by none other than Posh Spice.

The rare coloured crystal topaz blue car is a 4.5-litre motor adorned with a luxurious leather interior and royal blue stitches.   The car also posesses a CD player Becks transferred from his previous Porsche 911 as well as 18” alloy wheels, air conditioning, privacy glass and an ice detector which are not present in standard models.

Becks took delivery of the car on March 1, 2000 while still at Manchester United and the car has ID plates which bare the name, David Beckham.

A super car which has a top speed of 195mph, the TVR can accelerate from 0 to 60 in just 3.8 seconds. 

Being a keen car collector with other flashy motors including a Ferrari, a Lamborghini, a Bentley, an Aston Martin and a Porsche, Becks has had the car in a private collection for much of its time with them and has barely driven it.  In fact Becks has only racked up a mere 100 miles in the TVR bringing its total milegae to 17,825.

It’s currently on eBay for £22,100 with a week left of bidding to go.

Becks is no stranger to selling his motors on eBay; he sold his BMW M3 on the auction site five years ago for a whopping £90,100 so expect the TVR bids to swerve into the thousands.
