The Sun: Vinnie Jones punches a 26-stone pool player — after being glassed in the face in a bar brawl. The soccer hardman turned Hollywood star — captured on CCTV — was later arrested in hospital. He faces up to a year in jail if convicted of assault.

so I spent a few seconds panicking that Hugh Jackman had blown a fuse again and thrown another phone at someone and the arrest would jeopardize the Wolverine movie. then reminded myself that that was Russell Crowe, the other Aussie, that likes to throw phones. then I spent a few more seconds trying to figure out who the heck is Vinnie Jones before looking on wiki and finding out that he played the Juggernaut.

in other words, I don't really care

Interesting, the Brits. They still use "stone" (one stone is 14 lbs) as a measure of weight. Yet they know the meaning of pounds, since they developed it.

I also like the use of the phrase "being glassed". I guess getting smashed on the head or face with a bar glass is so popular, they compress it into just "glassed".
