ASBO's -

A state catch all.

A NAKED would-be opera singer was among the bizarre list of people handed Asbos in Scotland last year. Other unusual orders:
• A man from Wales was banned from hospitals except in real emergencies after he faked drug overdoses to stay in hospital.
• A mother-of-two from Lincolnshire was banned from singing as her voice was so bad.
• A man from Rugby was banned from borrowing money from a friend.
• A Clackmannanshire man was banned from shouting at his television.
• An 18-year-old from Swindon was banned from playing football in the street.
• A Somerset man was banned from having a rooster.
• A country and western fan from Leeds who plagued neighbours by playing Dolly Parton songs around the clock was banned from playing music in her home.
