Ok, he's alive but still.....

[Zacs-Master]

Maybe he needed more iron in his diet?

[emmie]

what a nut case.

[aelmpvw]

he'd obviously got a screw loose

[tiggerblue10]

You've all hit the nail on the head so far....

[emmie]

where's Nailit when you need him and his words.

[1ozzy]

I blame dieticians,
they should iron out your problems...

Kilogram of nails, screws and knives removed from man's stomach

Now we're non-EU.. (we're now not so great britain it appears)
Should that headline read '2.20462 Pounds' (0.9999988107 kg)..
or somewhere around that quantity in 'Britain's traditional weighing system' units.. hey kids read up on our ancient history, back to the 1970s, we're heading there fast.. you need to know about pounds and ounces, best also learn about pounds, shillings and pence.. you're gonna need it! ;O)

I guess this news got missed..?

//...we're now not so great britain it appears//

This country has not been Great Britain for more than 200 years. It became the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland in 1801. The "Great" in Great Britain does not mean "fabulous" or "superb" and it is no less "great" now than when it was first named as such to distinguish it from other areas.

I note the Beeb helpfully provided a picture of nuts and bolts in case readers were unaware of what they are.

His stomach ache must have come from him bolting down his food.

[bednobs]

sod all to do with the eu

tigger - // Ok, he's alive but still..... //

But still what?

[Mamyalynne]

Such behaviour is a psychological disorder.

[Tilly2]

I have every sympathy for him. Such a shame that he had to resort to eating nuts and bolts in his bid to overcome his alcohol dependence. Poor man.

"tigger - // Ok, he's alive but still..... //

But still what?"

I am not tigger but i would imagine she means he can still get a darwin award despite the fact he survived

[vulcan42]

I guess he thought that nuts and bolts were better than a staple diet.
