WORKER QUITS BY BAKING A CAKE AND WRITING RESIGNATION LETTER IN ICING (LET'S HOPE HE ISN’T MADE TO EAT HIS WORDS!)

A Border Agency employee stunned his bosses with bizarre resignation letter iced on to a cake.

Chris Holmes penned his resignation letter to the UK Border Agency at Stansted Airport on a homemade cake.

 Chris Holmes, 31, who worked at Stansted Airport, tweeted a picture of the note to resign from his job and pursue his dream to run a bakery business.

Mr Homes said: 'I handed in the cake in person to the duty manager. I think he was pleasantly surprised.

'It was a passion cake - a carrot cake made with coconut, pecans, sultanas and orange buttercream.

'The lettering was a bit tricky because there were so many words and was quite fiddly.

The resignation seemed like the natural choice for a cakemaker with a whimsical sense of humour.

'I thought it was a good natured resignation and hopefully left a nice taste in their mouths.

'I’d been planning it for six-months but kept it to myself because I wasn’t sure when I would be leaving.'

'I’d been working with the UK Border Agency for around seven years and set up the cake business in July 2010.

'I decided that my passion lies with food and wanted to spend more time at home with my son Ben.'

The former civil servant stunned employees by adding a touching message to the confectionery.

He wrote: ‘Having recently become a father I now realise how precious life is and how important it is to spend my time doing something that makes me and other people happy.

‘For that reason I hereby give notice of my resignation, in order that I may devote my time and energy to my family, and to my cake business which has grown steadily over the past few years.

 

I wish the organisation and my colleagues the best for the future .

’The picture of the ‘resignation cake’ came to light when it was tweeted by his relative Stuart Jackson.

He tweeted: 'So, my brother-in-law has resigned from his 9-to-5 job in spectacular fashion. Jerry Maguire meets Masterchef.'

Bill Form, Border Force Assistant Director at Stansted, said: 'Chris handed in the cake, along with a more formal letter, yesterday. He leaves with our very best wishes and we wish him well for the future.

'IT IS IMPORTANT TO SPEND MY TIME DOING SOMETHING THAT MAKES ME HAPPY': THE CAKE RESIGNATION TEXT IN FULL

Icing on the cake: Chris Holmes (pictured) had previously worked at the UK Border Agency for 7 years but has now decided to focus on spending time with his family

To The Management,

Border Force, Stansted:

Today is my 31st birthday, and having recently become a father I now realise have precious life is and how important it is to spend my time doing something that makes me, and other people, happy.

For that reason I hereby give notice of my resignation, in order that I may devote my time and energy to my family, and to my cake business which has grown steadily over the past few years.

I wish the Organisation and my colleagues the best for the future and I remind you that, if you enjoy this cake, you can order more at www.mrcake.co.uk

SAUDI PREACHER WHO 'RAPED & TORTURED' HIS FIVE -YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER TO DEATH IS RELEASED AFTER PAYING 'BLOOD MONEY'

A "celebrity" Saudi preacher accused of raping, torturing and killing his five-year-old daughter has reportedly been released from custody after agreeing to pay "blood money".

Fayhan al-Ghamdi had been accused of killing his daughter Lama, who suffered multiple injuries including a crushed skull, broken back, broken ribs, a broken left arm and extensive bruising and burns. Social workers say she had also been repeatedly raped and burnt.

Fayhan al-Ghamdi admitted using a cane and cables to inflict the injuries after doubting his five-year-old daughter’s virginity and taking her to a doctor, according to the campaign group Women to Drive.

Rather than getting the death penalty or receiving a long prison sentence for the crime, Fayhan al-Ghamdi served only a few months in jail before a judge ruled the prosecution could only seek "blood money".

Albawaba News reported the judge as saying: "Blood money and the time the defendant had served in prison since Lama's death suffices as punishment."

Fayhan al-Ghamdi, who regularly appears on television in Saudi Arabia, is said to have agreed to pay  $46,934 to Lama’s mother.

The money is considered compensation under Islamic law, although it is only half the amount that would have been paid had Lama been a boy.

Despite Saudi Arabia’s famously strict legal system, Women to Drive say fathers cannot be executed for murdering their children in the country.

Equally, husbands cannot be executed for murdering their wives.

Formal objections to the ruling have been raised by three Saudi activists, and the twitter hashtag #AnaLama (which translates as I Am Lama) has been set up.

Local reports say public anger over the settlement is growing across Saudi Arabia, with authorities planning to set up a 24-hour hotline to take calls about child abuse.

IJAW LEADER CHIEF EDWIN CLARK REMARRIES AT 86, TO DR BISOLA SODIPO

Ijaw Leader and former Information Minister, Chief Edwin Clark remarried last week Sunday March 17th at the age of 86. Today is actually is 86th birthday. Happy birthday, sir! Back to the story. Chief Clark married well known medical doctor, Dr Abisola Sodipe Akindeko. The wedding ceremony took place at his home in Apapa and another one at the bride's home at Okupe Estate in Maryland.

Dr Abisola Akindeko is the former best friend of Iyabo Obasanjo who lost two of her children in an assassination attempt on Iyabo Obasanjo's life. Dr Abisola's children were riding in Iyabo's car when it was attacked by hired assassins in 2003. The gunmen, thinking Iyabo was in the car, shot into the car killing the two children instantly. Iyabo and Dr Abisola had been riding in the doctors car, while the children rode in Iyabo's car. It was a huge story back then. Glad to know she's doing well now

ONE GIRL, TWO FATHERS: CONFUSION AS TWO COUPLES FIGHT OVER 17-YEAR-OLD GIRL

WHO IS ACTUALLY THE BIOLOGICAL PARENTS OF THIS 17-YEAR-OLD GIRL? This is the question that the officers and men of the Oyo State Police Command are trying to unravel. In Oyo State, two couples are laying claim to a 17-year-old girl and the assignment is a difficult one for the police for a number of reasons.

The two couples gave the same name to their own daughters; the two couples also bear the same surnames and they both hail from Ibadan, the capital of Oyo State.

The couples – Mr. and Mrs. Timothy Oladapo and Alhaji and Alhaja Ganiyu Oladapo – are each claiming to be the biological parents of a girl, Suruyatu Oladapo. Mr. and Mrs. Timothy Oladapo said they gave birth to their daughter – Suruyatu Oladapo at the CAC Mission Clinic while Alhaji and Alhaja Oladapo said their own baby was delivered in their house. Speaking with Daily Sun, Mr. Timothy Oladapo said he got married to his wife in 1988 and they had seven children.

“My first son died and my daughter, Suruyatu Esther Oladapo, got missing at the age of six years. That was in September 2002. I came from a Muslim family but today, I am a Christian. My daughter, Suruyatu Esther Oladapo, was delivered at the CAC Mission Ministry, Ile Ayo Gbaremu area, Ibadan, Oyo State.”

He further explained: “My girl, Suruyatu, attended Beacy Nursery and Primary School and she was registered in 2002 at the age of six years. Later, she was taken to Oluwadamilola Nursery and Primary School.

That was where she got missing from the school in September 2002. They were four pupils that went to school that fateful day. Two of them were my friend’s daughters. Suddenly I was called from Saki that my little daughter, Suruyatu, was missing. We quickly went to Gbagi Police Station to report a case of child missing.

“The announcement was made on Radio Nigeria, Ibadan. Later we went to the Ministry of Information with my lawyer, who is now a magistrate in Iyaganku. We went and sued the school in court and there and then the school was closed down.” Mr. Timothy Oladapo added that “all members of the landlords association, including friends, came to plead with me and the school was reopened and we withdrew the case from court.”

“But on February 27, this year, my friend called that he saw my missing daughter, Suruyatu, at Urban Day Grammar School at Ola-Ogun, Ibadan. Immediately, I ordered my wife to go to the school and that she should take along a photograph of our daughter as at when she was declared missing. On February 28, my wife went to the school with the picture to identify her and she went to meet with the principal and told her that her missing daughter  had been found in the school.”

But that only led to more confusion, as the principal invited the other couple, Alhaji and Alhaja Ganiyu Oladapo, and said the case was beyond his power.

“I had to call my lawyer and we quickly went to the Gbagi Police Station to report the incident. The police invited the other couple, who also claimed that they were the biological parents of Suruyatu,” Timothy Oladapo said. Also speaking, Alhaji Ganiyu Oladapo told Daily Sun that he was a retired staffer of the Power Holding Corporation of Nigeria (PHCN) and that he lived at Ola Ogun area of Ibadan. He said his wife was delivered of a baby girl, who they named Surayatu on October 25, 2007, adding that the baby girl was delivered in his backyard. “My daughter, Surayatu Oladapo, started from IDC Primary School, Gbagi, where she had her primary education.

I have eight children and all of them are alive. Suruyatu is the last born. I was the one who took her to Urban Day Grammar School at Ola-Ogun on Old Ife Road, Ibadan. The school building is three buildings to my house. “On February 28, this year, I got information that a woman came to her school and claimed that she was the biological mother of my daughter and that she came with a picture to identify her. “I was shocked,” he said. “Later, the police from Gbagi came to arrest me. The police also went to her primary school to find out whether she attended the school or not and they found out that her records were there.

The police went to my house and they asked my neighbours to find out whether I was the biological father of the girl and my neighbours testified that I was the father. They went to three buildings beside my house and inquired whether the child belonged to me and the people said yes.

“On March 1, I quickly went to call my Imam, who came for the naming of my daughter and who named her Suruyatu. My Imam went to Gbagi Police Station to write his own statement.” Also speaking, the girl at the centre of the story, Suruyatu, told Daily Sun that “I am telling you now that Alhaji Ganiyu Oladapo is my biological father.

I was in my class on February 28 when my classmates called me out and said some people were looking for me. A woman asked me if I was Suruyatu and I said yes. She told me that I was a missing girl and I couldn’t understand what she meant. Later, the principal of our school called me and asked me some questions and I told him that I was staying with my parents.”

When this reporter visited the Urban Day Grammar School, one of the senior teachers, who didn’t want his identity revealed because he was not authorised to speak to the media, said Suruyatu Oladapo was a bonafide student of the school. The Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP), State CID, Iyaganku, Ibadan, Mr. Galanchi Dasuki, told the reporter that the police had started investigation into the matter.

He said the case was transferred to the State CID from Gbagi Police Station. “We have invited the two couples and we have heard from them.

We have also held talks with the victim, Suruyatu Oladapo,” he explained. The Oyo State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Mohammed Indabawa, said the police were aware of the controversies over who the biological parents of Suruyatu were. Indabawa said the victim, Suruyatu, had been placed in police custody at the State CID  Iyaganku “to enable us conclude our investigation. We have sent the parties to the University College Hospital Ibadan for DNA test to know the real biological parents of Suruyatu Oladapo.”

He advised both couples to exercise restraint until the conclusion of the investigation by the police.

Tiger Wood's Ex-wife reportedly dating Billionaire Chris Cline

Does Elin Nordegren have a new man in her life?

According to Page Six, Tiger Woods’ 33-year-old ex-wife has been dating 53-year-old billionaire Chris Cline since the holidays.

Both Nordegren and Cline — a coal magnate worth a reported $1.2 billion dollars –own homes in a North Palm Beach, Fla. oceanfront community called Seminole Landing.

The reports of Nordegren’s new romance come nearly two months after The National Enquirer claimed that Woods was trying to win back his ex by offering her a $200 million pre-nup. Woods refused to comment on the reports.

In February, the ex-couple was photographed together for the first time in years at a local youth sporting event with their two young children.

Nordegren and Woods — who were married for nearly six years – divorced in August 2010 in the wake of the golfer’s heavily publicized cheating scandal.

Cline, a father of four, has been married twice before. His first wife, Sabrina, died of breast cancer in 1987. He divorced his second wife, Kelly, in 2000.

Strange Affair: Meet the Husband, Wife and Lover Living Under the SAME Roof

 

 



Maria with Hubby Paul and Lover Peter

When mum-of-two Maria Butzki left her husband Paul for another man, she didn’t realise how much she’d miss him. At the same time, she couldn’t imagine living without her new lover Peter Gruman.

So when the two men struck up an extraordinary friendship, she came up with the perfect solution... and moved Peter into the family home in Barking, East London.

Now Maria, 33, Paul, 37, their two ­children, Laura, 16, and Amy, 12, and Peter, 36, live as one big happy family.

“People might think it’s weird but I love both men and couldn’t choose between them,” says Maria, a ­housing liaison officer.

“When I left Paul there was a huge hole in my life. But the thought of never seeing Peter again was heartbreaking. So living with both men is the only way.”

Incredibly, the men agree. Paul, a railway assessor, says: “Peter is a great guy. When Maria first had the affair with him I was just heartbroken. But as I got to know him, I realised we have so much in common. We both adore fishing, and he’s like a surrogate dad to the kids.”

Peter, a construction site manager, adds: “We all get on so well. It doesn’t feel as if I’m ­sharing Maria. There’s no ­jealousy ...it feels as if we area team.”

It was last year that they all moved in ­together after three years of ­Maria to-ing and fro-ing between her husband and lover.

Peter sleeps on the sofa while Paul has a room ­upstairs. Maria shares a bedroom with her eldest daughter.

She says: “The three of us never share a bed. Although I have a sexual relationship with each man, that side is kept very private. If Paul is out, then Peter and I might make love, and vice-versa. But both men turn a blind eye and we never discuss it with one another.”

Maria was 15 when she and Paul met at school. After dating for two years, she unexpectedly became pregnant. Paul proposed seven months into her term and a month later they ­married. Four years after the birth of Laura, Maria had their second daughter Amy. But in 2006 their marriage hit a rocky patch

Maria says: “Paul was out of work for six months and it put a strain on our ­relationship. The stress led to less sex and we grew apart. Although we carried on with life – cooking, cleaning, looking after the child­ren – we’d lost our intimacy. The relationship was more brother and sister than a couple.

Around the same time a new manager, Peter, started at Maria’s workplace.

“Someone introduced me to Peter and when we smiled at one another, I could feel the chemistry straight away,” she says. “Until that moment, I’d been happily married for 13 years to my childhood sweetheart and had never thought about being with another man.”

Peter, who was also married at the time, recalls the same instant attraction. “It was like a bolt from the blue... love at first sight,” he says.

Soon the pair were meeting secretly. “We’d meet at the local pub for lunch,” says Maria. “One day he put a hand on my leg and my whole body began trembling with desire. I knew it was wrong but soon we were sleeping together.”

Their affair carried on for a year before Paul stumbled on messages between them on Maria’s phone. She managed to convince him they were just friends. But a few months later her lover left his wife and moved from Luton, Beds, to be closer to Maria in Barking.

“I grew even closer to Peter,” says Maria. “Paul had to go away on business for a few weeks and so Peter took the children shopping, ­spoiling them rotten with gifts.”

But on Valentine’s Day in 2010, Maria says she could no longer cope with the secrecy. “I began to feel more and more that my future lay with Peter,” she says. “So I confessed my affair to Paul, and moved out to stay with Peter.”

 

Paul and the children were devastated. He says: “I was just shocked and heartbroken. I couldn’t believe Maria had left me.”

Over the next few months Paul and Maria took turns to have the children. “I felt bad about tearing the family apart,” says Maria. “So after work I’d go and clean and cook for Paul and the kids and then go home to Peter.”

Paul says: “While I was so upset, I decided to try to put the children first. It was going to be much better if we could all be mature adults and be amicable about it. I could see Peter was a decent guy. When the kids went to stay over I knew he was putting himself out to make sure they were happy. I’d go to pick them up and we got chatting.”

Over the next year their relationship became even more amicable. Maria says: “Rather than cook two separate dinners, it was easier to just do one and all sit down together. Paul and Peter got on so well they went on a fishing trip together. We even started going on days out and holidays together

“It was strange but I noticed I felt at my happiest when we were all together. The children adored having both of them around too.”

Then in November 2012 the tenancy on Peter’s rented flat came to an end. He went to stay with a friend and Maria moved back to the family home. Maria says: “It was supposed to be a temporary arrangement but while I missed Peter terribly, it was fantastic to be back as a family.”

When Peter found another flat, Maria decided it was time to sit both men down and be honest with them. “I said I loved them both,” she says. “I said I couldn’t face living without either of them.”

To her delight, both men said they understood.

Peter says: “By now Paul and I had developed a huge respect for each other. We didn’t see one another as rivals for Maria’s affections. We were friends who got on well. At the same time I’d come to care so much for the children. It seemed natural to live together.”

Paul says: “Maria was and still is my soulmate.”

The “family” are now in the process of buying a larger house to accommodate them all.

Maria admits many friends and family find the arrangement difficult to understand.

“Some people are shocked, mostly because they get the wrong idea and think it’s some sort of threesome,” she says. “Most people seem to think I should just remain with Paul, but those who see all of us ­together think differently.” She adds: “There are huge benefits to living together. For example, as Paul and I leave for work early, Peter is often able to take the children to school.

“Ultimately the children benefit from three adults able to help with school work or give them lifts. Financially too, it makes sense as the bills are split three ways.”

Ironically, Maria is now the one who sometimes gets jealous. “I’m left on my own when the pair of them go on a long fishing trip,” she says.

She’s unsure what the sleeping arrangements will be in their new house. “But we would never have any sort of rota where I sleep with Peter one night and Paul the next. I do know I’m very lucky to have two wonderful men in my life.”
