Dear, oh, dear. Another teenage party on hormone-heavy swoll, another home trashed, another - albeit more reluctant - star of the "youth gone wild" media storm du jour. Sarah Ruscoe (nooo relation to myself) of Devon was turning 18 and to celebrate had planned a fancy-dress party for some close friends.... and, you know, the other people who saw one of the many posters she pasted up around the way. Unfortunately one of the would-be revellers contacted BBC1 DJ and shitty house music advocate: Pete Tong, who then announced the "free mansion party" on his show. You can no doubt guess the rest. The owners of the 21 bedroom manor house that bore the (White Lightening-fuelled) brunt of the 2000+ gatecrashers are now planning to sue the BBC - claiming that "It was totally negligent of them to allow a statement like that to be broadcast." And consequently; "(the youths) were acting like animals. I'm surprised no-one was killed." What happened to good old paddock parties?
