Friday the 13th proved suitably unlucky for one 13 year-old boy who was struck by lightning before being taken to hospital - at 13:13 on the dreaded date.

The boy, who has not been named, was treated for a minor burn after being hit along with two others at an air show in Suffolk, eastern England, a spokeswoman said.

Staff at the St Johns Ambulance service said there had been heavy rain all day before they witnessed a big flash of lightning and a loud clap of thunder over the sea off the Suffolk coast.

"We got a call that someone had been struck by lightning so we immediately sent our paramedics to the scene, followed by an ambulance," said Rex Clarke, head of the team of St John Ambulance volunteers at the event.

"Lightning strikes can cause cardiac arrest, but when our volunteers arrived the boy was conscious and breathing."

Clarke added that two other people were treated for injuries from lightning burns in the space of 20 minutes, and that all three people were holding umbrellas at the time which "acts as a conductor for electricity."

Jason Gillingham, a County Ambulance Officer and on scene at the show, said: "This was a minor burn to the boy's shoulder, but he was taken to hospital and is recovering well."

London, Aug 13 (ANI): A 25-year-old British blonde has claimed that she has slept with as many as 5,000 men since losing her virginity at 16.

Buzz up!
Nikki Lee has had casual sex in nightclubs, alleyways, parks, cinemas and teen discos.


She also boasted that she has gone on regular sex holidays, where she does 'it' in clubs, on beaches and on balconies.

Lee has also kept a note of all her sex sessions in her own little red notebook - and scored each man out of ten.

"I put a star beside the lads who were best in bed. By the time I was 18, I had moved out of home and in with friends and there were nearly 800 in my book," the Sun quoted the beauty therapist from Essex as telling Love It! Magazine.

By the time she was 21 she had noted 2,289 men.

"Plenty of men have notches on bedposts, so why couldn't I have my own packed little red book?" she said.

On one holiday to Ibiza, she claimed she had sex with four men in one night.

"I just have two rules: no men who belong to someone else and only safe sex. Apart from that, pretty much anything else goes.

"I have now slept with more than 5,000 blokes. Some of my mates think I need to get help for sex addiction.

"But if I am a sex addict, I am enjoying it and don't want to be cured," Lee said.

Sex and behaviour expert Dr Pam Spurr said she was shocked Nikki had slept with so many men.

She said: "It is technically possible, but emotionally very dangerous.

"Detaching all your feelings and sleeping with strangers could leave you psychologically damaged. I can't see where the fun ends or begins."
