A telephone stalker obsessed with underwear made a big mistake when a gym opened across the street from the apartment that he shared with his mother.
Paul Kavanagh was caught on film by detectives as he leaned over his London apartment balcony while making calls to the gym’s female receptionists.
This month Kavanagh was sentenced to two and a half years jail. He admitted to making 15,000 or so harassing calls to women asking them questions about their underwear. He’d call posing as a clothing researcher and claim to be gathering marketing data for a retailer.
Kavanagh had been making these calls for 12 years before he was caught. He’d usually start off his conversations with questions about the womens socks and sweaters, but then he would move on to their underwear and make lewd suggestions to his victims.
Judge Peter Testar concluded that Kavanagh had been “making these calls for the purposes of sexual gratification and, I must say to my mind, for the purposes of cruelty.”
The calls were all placed using unregistered pay as you go phones. When Kavanagh was finally caught he was, as stated above, targeting the female staff at the gym by commenting on their clothes and the way they wore their hair.

Hey with the holidays coming up soon I bet quite a few of you are beginning to do your shopping. If you are you might want to visit Kickstime.com where you can take advantage of their back in business sale and get some great deals!
If you need to buy shoes for the kids or yourself take a look at their selection of Air Jordans, Bathing Apes and Air Dunks – both of which are on sale right now.
Of course they don’t just sell running shoes. They have a selection of Prada and Gucci shoes as well as Red Monkey Jeans, Evisu jeans, hoodies, shirts, handbags and hats.
The company is based in London, England but they ship world wide. I always appreciate an online store that offers international shipping. As well as shipping worldwide they ship for free!
Another thing that I like about this company is that there are several ways to contact them if need be. You can write to them using their postal address or by email or call their toll free number. Most online stores don’t offer a telephone number let alone a toll free one so I appreciate that Kickstime.com does this.
As I said if you are starting to shop for the holidays visit this online store. You might find an item that would make a perfect gift for one of your friends or relatives.

How executives deal with stress. In June in Spain about 30 executives were chosen in a contest by NH Hotels to help demolish Madrid’s NH Alcala hotel; they were let inside with mallets and told to have at it.
In London and Tokyo, another option recently became available, according to the Daily Mail: misery clubs (such as Loss in London). Executives can rent rooms and view weepy movies or attend group crying sessions and “tear therapy” to “indulge their inner gloom,” wrote the newspaper.
Hmmm What happened to laughter being the best medicine?
