It's An Ill Wind......
'It's an ill wind that blows nobody any good' - as the saying goes.
When I was at school I used to find it hard to get my head around what the saying actually meant - but here's a perfect illustration.
A man who jumped from a 9th floor window in New York - survived the fall after landing in one of the large heaps of rubbish - lying uncollected on the pavements.
No, not because of strike action by the NYC bin men - but because of the blizzards which hit the Big Apple right after Xmas.
The unfortunate jumper - Vangelis Kapatos - has now been released from a psychiatric hospital after making a full recovery.
His aunt - Katarina Capatos - said:
"Everyone's complaining that the trash hasn't been picked up - but me, I'm just thankful it wasn't".
