The pair fell out when Keith was quoted as saying: "His c**k's on the end of his nose. And a very small one at that. Big balls. Small c**k." We already knew he was a dick.

Valentin Lefter, 20, from Focsani, said he was shocked because he'd only been away for two weeks. He returned from his summer break to find a letter from wine-bottling company Prodecam Vanatori. "The letter, addressed to my wife, apologised for my passing away and said any outstanding payments would be sent to her within the next month," said Lefter.

But they said he could not have his job back because they had already employed someone in his place, reported local media. He now plans to sue the company for £10,000. I hate it when that happens. |
