A seven-year-old boy was at the centre of a Manchester courtroom drama yesterday when he challenged a court ruling over who should have custody of him. The boy has a history of being beaten by his parents and the judge initially awarded custody to his aunt, in keeping with child custody law and regulations requiring that family unity be maintained to the degree possible.
The boy surprised the court when he proclaimed that his aunt beat him more than his parents and he adamantly refused to live with her. When the judge then suggested that he live with his grandparents, the boy cried out that they also beat him.
After considering the remainder of the immediate family and learning that domestic violence was apparently a way of life among them, the judge took the unprecedented step of allowing the boy to propose who should have custody of him. After two recesses to check legal references and confer with child welfare officials, the judge granted temporary custody to Wigan Rugby whom the boy firmly believes are incapable of beating anyone.
I don't know how to put this but I'm kind of a big deal. I'm Ron Burgundy, you stay classy San Diego.

Stuart Fielding is ill, so Brian Noble offers to do his shopping for him. While in Sainsbury's he bumps into Neil Kelly. 'What are you doing in here, Noble?' asks Kelly. 'Getting a bag of potatoes for Stuart Fielding,' he replies. 'Sounds like a good swap to me,' says Kelly
