Published on September 22nd 2009.

A MARRIED DENTIST HAD SEX IN HIS SURGERY after developing a pattern of sexually motivated behavior towards four dental nurses at his practice. The General Medical Council heard how Anthony Barton, 36, would strut around in a leopard print thong while shouting, “Get a load of that!” Barton, who denies misconduct, faces 17 charges in relation to his conduct towards the nurses from 2000 to last year and faces being struck-off if he is found guilty.

BUS DRIVERS STAGED A THIRD STRIKE yesterday in a row over pay. More than 800 First Bus drivers - all members of the Unite union - walked out in Bury, Bolton and Wigan.

Can you turn fake guns into real ones, don't you mean he reactivated decommissioned fire arms? If it was fake to real then that's quite a skill, I've got some fake gold I'd like him to have a look at.
