Amber Heard has asked a Virginia judge to throw out her losing verdict against Johnny Depp and order a new court case, claiming the judgment wasn't supported by evidence during the trial. Lawyers for the 36-year-old Aquaman star set out a 43-page motion, claiming Depp "proceeded solely on a defamation by implication theory, abandoning any claims that Ms Heard's statements were actually false". Calling the verdict "excessive", the document went on: "Ms Heard respectfully requests this court to set aside the jury verdict in favour of Mr Depp and against Ms Heard in its entirety, dismiss the complaint, or in the alternative, order a new trial." The court case came to an end on 1 June, with the jury finding that a 2018 article Heard wrote for The Washington Post , about her alleged experiences as a survivor of domestic abuse, was defamatory towards 59-year-old Depp. The jury of five men and two women reached the verdict unanimously, saying Depp had proven all the … [Read more...] about Amber Heard calls for new libel trial against Johnny Depp after losing multimillion-dollar defamation lawsuit

When was my house built and how old is it?
RENOVATING a home should be a relatively simple process, but sometimes there's legislation dictating what you can and can't do. It is important when buying a house to find out what year it was built and if there is likely to be anything that would hamper your revamp. How old is my house? Having an older house can mean there are restrictions on what renovations you can carry out on the property. For example, if your house is particularly old or in an area of outstanding natural beauty you might not be able to add an extension. An old house generally refers to one over 50 years old. Older than that and it could classed as a period property.

Internet shocked by what potential buyers did to bath during house viewing
It's always gross when someone leaves hair in the shower —especially when that person is a stranger. When TikTok user @fortdefiance put her house on the market, a sneaky shower was probably the last thing she expected from potential buyers. In a clip shared on July 1, the homeowner explained that someone viewing the house had decided to take the tub for a test run. "Just got back to my house after a showing," she said in the video. "Walk into the bathroom and there's a spot on the floor. i know I just cleaned this. Somebody got in the tub, which I painstakingly scrubbed." Luckily, she saw the funny side of the situation, bursting into laughter. However, the bathroom wasn't the only room they'd decided to try before buying. "I'm pretty sure somebody got in my bed," she continued, before pointing to a bench that was also askew. Further exploration showed that the viewers actually tried all three beds, as well as the sofa. "Hope you guys had fun," she giggled, concluding her … [Read more...] about Internet shocked by what potential buyers did to bath during house viewing

Two-bed house in Scotland is on sale for £15,000 – but it’s missing a roof
For those of us trying desperately to get on the property ladder, a £15k house sounds pretty appealing. And it’s true – this two-bedroom house in Barr, Ayrshire, Scotland, does have bags of potential, as a detached home with its own driveway and garage, plus an enclosed courtyard. There’s just one – pretty major – problem: the property is missing a roof. Although perhaps you could spin that as a natural skylight? The house has a massive hole in the roof thanks to a fire, which has also left damage to the interiors. Some rafters remain, but they’re a tad charred, the windows are smashed, and there’s debris strewn across the drive. Oh, and potential buyers can’t have a peek inside due to safety issues. All that goes quite a way to explain the budget-friendly price tag. The house is being sold at auction by Slater Hogg and Howison, with starting bids at £13,500 and a £15,000 reserve. The listing reads: ‘Well located in the centre of the picturesque conservation … [Read more...] about Two-bed house in Scotland is on sale for £15,000 – but it’s missing a roof

MORE often than not, travellers live in a caravan. But one who lives in a house has insisted her home is no indication of her traveller status - as it's in her blood. Wendy Louise Jones took to TikTok to share a brief look at her home, writing: "I’m proud to be a traveller in a house.
