Brit bins wife and runs away with Ukrainian refugee just 10 days after she moved in
Russian invasion of Ukraine.Tony Ganett, 29, left his partner Lorona, 28, after falling in love with Sofia Karkadym, who had moved in with the couple just ten days earlier.Security guard Sofia initially signed up for the UK government's scheme to help rehome people fleeing Ukraine, but became frustrated by the convoluted process and reached out for help on social media, the Mirror reports.Tony from Bradford in West Yorkshire offered to become Sofia's sponsor in the UK.But just ten days after she moved in the pair ended up absconding to start a new life together.He told The Sun : “It began with a simple desire from me to do the right thing and put a roof over the head of someone in need, a man or woman.“It came to a head last Saturday when she really went for Sofiia, yelling at her, using some harsh language that left her in tears. She said she didn’t feel she could stay under our roof any more and something inside me clicked.“We’re sorry for the pain we’ve caused but I’ve discovered a connection with Sofiia like I’ve never had before.”Sofiia, 22, added “these things happen”.Tony’s now ex-partner Lorna became frustrated at the immediate bond he had with Sofiia.The pair would go to the gym together and sit for hours talking in a car park.Eventually things came to a head and she ordered their guest to leave, but was stunned when Tony announced he was leaving too, with the pair shacking up at his parents’ home.They are now in the process of finding a new home together.

22 players with exactly the same surname once faced each other in football match
BBC, the match ended in a 6-6 draw with one player sent off for dissent.All players from both teams, the match officials, mascots and one designated doctor all had the surname Bungay, with the fixture played at the home ground of local side Bungay Town.The ages of those involved ranged from four to 68, with one player even travelling all the way from Australia to take part, although they may have regretted their decision afterwards.Aussie Chris Bungay was reportedly sent off by referee John Bungay during the match for swearing, while one player, Keiran Bungay, is said to have grabbed a hat-trick during the high-scoring contest.Event organiser and Bungay Town committee member Shaun Cole told the BBC at the time: "Keiran Bungay scored two penalties to complete his hat-trick and make it a draw.What is the most bizarre football match you have played in? Let us know in the comments section below."The pitch was full of Bungays and the stand was full of Bungays. One chap came from Queensland, Australia, to play."A similar event occurred during a cricket match in Bradford 11 years prior as Amarmilan faced Yorkshire LPS, although this time completely by accident.The match in the Bradford Mutual Sunday School League was contested by 22 players who all had the surname Patel, with league secretary Don Butterfield admitting to The Sun: "We've never known anything like it."Luckily they only play each other twice a season - it was a nightmare for the umpires.
