When one member of a family tested positive for Covid on a sunshine break to Greece, they had to move out of their luxury hotel to a cockroach-infested room
ulia Brill’s £4,500 package holiday on the Greek island of Rhodes turned into a nightmare on just the third day when her eight-year-old son felt unwell. He tested positive for Covid-19 and the family of four was moved from their five-star hotel to a room in a government quarantine hotel for 14 days.
“The hotel was on the flightpath to the island with planes flying metres overhead every eight minutes,” she said. “The room was filthy with dirt on all surfaces, lines of ants marching all over the floor among the hair of previous guests, and there were cockroaches in the bathroom. The drains were blocked and stank. There was no bottled water, cutlery or crockery.
“Food, which most of the time was inedible, was left unceremoniously at our door three times a day, the air conditioning barely worked, and the wifi came and went. When the wildfires were raging in Rhodes, all power went out. We could see flames on the hillsides as we sat in total darkness with no air-con or wifi.”

--- Quote ---Teenager rushed to hospital after shoving USB cable in his penis
A sexual experiment gone wrong landed a teenager in hospital needing complicated surgery to extract a knotted USB cable from his penis.
When his mum was out of the room, the boy, whose name was not revealed, confessed to doctors that he inserted the cable to ‘measure the length of his penis’ out of ‘sexual curiosity’.
But instead of using a ruler, he inserted the already-knotted cable, which got stuck, with both ends left hanging out of his member.
The 15-year-old, from London, made several attempts to remove it himself but this resulted in him urinating a large amount of blood.
