NY police find 'cashback' corpse

Two men face trial after wheeling their dead friend down a Manhattan street in an alleged attempt to cash his Social Security cheque.

The sight of two men pushing a partially-dressed, pale, stiff body on an office chair raised the suspicions of a passing policeman.

Detective Travis Rapp arrested David Dalaia and James O'Hare, both 65.

The dead man, Virgilio Cintron, 66, is believed to have died in the previous 24 hours, the Associated Press reports.

A post mortem is said to have proved inconclusive.

Mr Dalaia and Mr O'Hare are said to have expressed surprise when paramedics told them Mr Cintron was dead.

'Very dead'

They reportedly tried to cash the $355 (�242) cheque on Tuesday, but were told by a clerk that Mr Cintron had to be present.

They returned to the flat that one of them shared with Mr Cintron and partially dressed the corpse before loading it into a chair and wheeling it back to the shop, police said.

Passers-by watched as they left the body outside the shop and went in to cash the cheque.

The clerk again insisted Mr Cintron had to be with them and as they returned to fetch him, they were stopped by Detective Rapp.

The officer said he thought the figure was a mannequin or a dummy at first.

"I thought it was a joke, honestly," he told AP.

One onlooker was not so sure.

"I saw this guy sitting in this chair with his head back," restaurant worker Victor Rodriguez, 38, told AP.

"He looked very dead. He looked very sick. His eyes were closed. He wasn't moving."

I don't know if you're serious or taking the piss from what I've wrote in the "private messages" thread, but anyway, assuming you're serious:

I haven't really been much into the scene lately (actually never, lol), but I'm pretty sure the best club for electronic music is still Vespas. They usually bring in every 2 months or so a big dj name like Zabiela, Ananda, Tiefschwarz, Steve Lawler, etc; usual nights are electronic music too. Other clubs are more commercial, a typical stop for uni students is the club called (you'll lol at the name) Copacabana which sometimes is almost only rock music. I'm not really thinking of any other decent clubs right now, maybe Cafe Do Teatro plays electronic stuff sometimes but it's only frequented by wannabe-high-society-and-stuck-up-about-it fags. Watch out that in some clubs and nights the bouncers are total wankers, and won't let you go in unless you're with girls and properly dressed, whatever the fuck their fashion standards are.

Bars... a good pre-club place to hang out is the Number 2 bar where tons of people go to drink poncha, the fav alcoholic drink of the island. There's a Number 2 in Funchal and another Number 2 in C�mara de Lobos. This summer the Funchal place seemed to me like it was even getting over-crowded, insane amount of people for a small place really. Another cool bar is Amaz�nia in the middle of Funchal, but it's more for student party weeks, at the Summer it might be slower.

Speaking of parties, Summer is the time of the big outdoor electronic events, it's quite likely you can catch one of those. Although these events are starting to get more and more commercial, about 2 years ago they used to be awesome.

If you like beaches, try coming to my side of the island at the Calheta Beach, although it can't possibly compare to the stuff there in Brazil. It's the only yellow sand beach in the island, because it's artificial.

If you were only joking, then I typed a lot for nothing, but meh, someone might find it useful.

i'm not joking and i dont know what you wrote in the "private message" thread

and thanks

On NYE. 10 minutes of fireworks all over Funchal, plus a finale that feels like you're in Baghdad with bombs all over the place. It's fun. Must be quite expensive to come here as a tourist at that time of the year, though.
