BIZARRE VIDEO: Drunk Easyjet Passenger Strips Himself Naked And Challenges Pilot To A Fight......Gets A Slap From His Female Companion!
The burly, bald passenger also urinated up the side of the terminal building and also received a slap across the face from his female companion
A drunken passenger was tasered by police after stripping naked on the airport tarmac – and challenging the pilot to a fight.
The 52-year-old man, who had arrived in Manchester on an easyJet flight from Malta, also urinated up the side of the Terminal One building.
Video taken of the amazing incident shows the burly, bald man removing his clothes on the runway apron and posturing at the captain – before receiving a slap across the face from his female companion.
It is understood trouble began mid-flight when the man, who appeared drunk, became abusive and started swearing at fellow passengers.
A witness who asked not to be named said: “He’d had an altercation with other passengers and the captain had come down the plane to calm him down.”
But on landing at Manchester at 1.28pm, the passenger’s bizarre behaviour continued.
It is understood that after coming off the plane, down the steps and on to the tarmac, he stripped to his black underpants and gestured towards the pilot.

Video obtained by Manchester Evening News shows him then stripping completely naked before getting a slap across the face from a woman.
The witness added: “He must have been drunk because when he came off the plane, he took his top off and shouted ‘come on then’ in a Manchester accent and was trying to get the captain to fight him.
“Then he carried on taking all his clothes off. I have no idea why. The woman he was with gave him a slap for it.”
The man put his clothes back on before entering Terminal One, where police arrived at 1.40pm.
They tried to control him but resorted to using a ‘dry’ Taser – where the gun is held against the target to cause shock and pain – when he refused to co-operate.
He was then arrested and escorted from the airport.
Abusive: The drunk naked passenger captured on video
A spokesman added: “Police were called to Terminal One arrivals of Manchester Airport following reports a man was drunk and being abusive to passengers on a flight from Malta.
“As he left the plane, he took his clothes off and urinated against a wall.
“A 52-year-old man was dry tasered and arrested on suspicion of being drunk and disorderly in a public place. He was issued with a Fixed Penalty Notice.”
An easyJet spokesman said: “The passenger had arrived into Manchester on flight EZY1328 from Malta.
“The safety and security of its passengers and crew is easyJet’s highest priority and, like all airlines, disruptive behaviour is taken seriously.
"The passenger was met by the police as a result of his behaviour.”
Do you know who the man is?

5 Reasons Why Beer Might Actually Be Good For You
The threat of beer bellies is very much a reality, but…
…beer may not be as bad as you’ve been led to believe.
Beer Benefits
Did you know that beer is actually made of just four simple ingredients: water, barley, hops and yeast?
1. While wine usually gets all the accolades for its antioxidant benefits, beer and wine actually contain similar amounts of antioxidants.
2. The protein and B-vitamin content of beer is higher than wine. However, even though beer is a good source of B vitamins, the alcohol in it mostly cancels out the benefits.
3. Beer offers anywhere from 95 to 360 calories in a 12-ounce serving, with the average bottle of beer in the 150-calorie range.
4. One to two beers a day is good for your bones. Beer contains silicon, which is linked to bone strength and health.
5. “Light” actually refers to the percent of alcohol and calories. Higher-alcohol beers have more calories, so if you’re watching your weight, a Guinness is actually about the same as a Bud.
Beer Best Practices
Once again, when it comes to drinking any type of alcohol, moderation is and will always be key. According to the CDC, to stay healthy while enjoying a drink, women should not consume more than one alcohol serving a day, and men should drink no more than two servings a day.

P. Diddy at 43 yrs says he doesn't plan to propose to his girlfriend or to anyone else anytime soon!
Diddy and his artist-turned-girlfriend Cassie have been dating for a few years, but the hip-hop mogul revealed on a recent episode of “The View” that he doesn’t plan on popping the question to her, or anyone else, anytime soon.
The 43-year-old told Barbara Walters that he’s not looking to get married because he’s not “ready for that responsibility” yet.
“It definitely would be a dream come true for me to just one day just be ready for that,” he said. “The thing is, I’m not really looking because I know the responsibility that comes with that and I think that a lot of people, they jump into that and they’re not honest with themselves. I’m brutally honest with myself. If I’m ready for that responsibility, I think in due time.”
The father of six went on the say that he wants to do the marriage thing right the first time.
“I don’t want to get married and not make that woman be the best,” he said. “I’m a big baby in a grown man’s body. I’ve been close to it and when I’m ready I’ll make the announcement, but when I do it, I’m doing it forever. Know that.”
He added, “I think a lot of people put too much on marriage and not enough on happiness. I’m happy, anybody that is in my life is happy…at least some of the days [laughs]. I just want to be happy and I think it’s important for you to protect your happiness and to love yourself, because then you can love other people the right way.”
Diddy did make a few good points; of course you should be happy before you say “I do.” But, do you think that is the real reason he’s never made a trip down the aisle? The Bad Boy CEO was in a decade-long relationship with Kim Porter and a high-profile relationship with Jennifer Lopez, but either of these situations need with even an engagement.
From the looks of things, Diddy may fall into the “celebs who value their careers over marriage” category with Oprah and Jamie Foxx. Now don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with that but if that’s the case then just say it. We just hope he’s not stringing Cassie, 16 years his junior, along with a hope and a dream.

UK firm seeks to market world's first malaria vaccine...Hope for malaria vaccines by 2015!
British drug maker GlaxoSmithKline is
seeking regulatory approval for the world's first malaria vaccine after trial
data showed that it had cut the number of cases in African children.
Experts say that they are optimistic about the possibility of the world's first vaccine after the trial results.
Malaria, a mosquito-borne parasitic disease, kills hundreds of thousands of people worldwide every year.
Scientists say an effective vaccine is key to attempts to eradicate it.
The vaccine known as RTS,S was found to have almost halved the number of malaria cases in young children in the trial and to have reduced by about 25% the number of malaria cases in infants.
GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) is developing RTS,S with the non-profit Path Malaria Vaccine Initiative (MVI), supported by funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
"Many millions of malaria cases fill the wards of our hospitals," said Halidou Tinto, a lead investigator on the RTS,S trial from Burkina Faso.
"Progress is being made with bed nets and other measures, but we need more tools to battle this terrible disease."
The malaria trial was Africa's largest-ever clinical trial involving almost 15,500 children in seven countries.
The findings were presented at a medical meeting in Durban, South Africa.
"Based on these data, GSK now intends to submit, in 2014, a regulatory application to the European Medicines Agency (EMA)," GSK said in a statement..
The company has been developing the vaccine for three decades,
The statement said that the hope now is that the Geneva-based World Health Organization (WHO) may recommend the use of the RTS,S vaccine from as early as 2015 if EMA drugs regulators back its licence application.
Testing showed that 18 months after vaccination, children aged five to 17 months had a 46% reduction in the risk of clinical malaria compared to unvaccinated contemporaries.
But in infants aged six to 12 weeks at the time of vaccination, there was only a 27% reduction in risk.
A spokeswoman for GSK told the AFP news agency that the company would file its application to the EMA under a process aimed at facilitating new drugs for poorer countries.
