POPSSex Ladies Spill he Beans on 'Clients' The naval lieutenant used the alias Renee during her six months of sex work for the service. She was one of 12 former prostitutes to testify this week. "It was getting hard for me to keep doing it … I didn't like it," she told the jury yesterday. Burton later produced an email the officer sent Palfrey six months after quitting the service, asking the madam if she still needed help. "I needed the money," she explained ruefully. She has since been placed on leave by the military. Like the other former call girls who testified, and like Dupre in the Spitzer case, the naval officer was granted legal immunity in exchange for her testimony. But the former prostitutes are required to use their real names in court -- relaying intimate details such as Palfrey's insistence that they have sex during menstruation. ...Guardian

POPS15 Most amazing co-incidences There are 15, and 14 in the clip the rest can be found following the bottom link. I had a really weird co-incidence that took over 10 years to unfold. I was hit by a bike, while getting out of a bus in 1985. I never met the rider. In 1990 I was hit by a car while running across peak hour traffic. I was quite prepared to admit I was responsible I shouldn't have crossed the road, but I was waiting for a bus and wanted to get across the road and back before the bus came. The peak hour traffic was flowing at 45 mph. I never met the Driver. In around 1997, My Nan discovered (she liked to keep things like this in a diary) that one of her friends that she had met at the retirement village. was grandmother to both the rider, and the driver. While there may have been a co-incidence, I still can't help thinking the fact that I'm still alive is a miracle. (Maybe I've just got a reinforced skull)
