After 30 Years Apart, Brother and Sister Reunite on Bizarre Blind Date

You should always be cautious on a blind date, and here’s why.

After connecting through an Internet dating service, two anonymous love seekers realized they were in fact estranged siblings when they finally met face to face last week.

Sarah Kemp, a cleaner living in Edinburgh, Scotland, and George Bentley, a London-based builder, began a correspondence through ForgetDinner.co.uk last November. After several months emailing back and forth, the pair — brother and sister, that is — eventually chose to “bite the bullet” and unite in person.

“I would never have agreed to go to London on a blind date, but we hit it off from the beginning, and our relationship blossomed as we emailed each other more and more often,” Kemp told Scotland’s Daily Record.

After about an hour of conversation at the White Horse, Bentley’s favorite East Ham pub, the two would-be lovers realized they were actually siblings.

12 year-old gives birth during school trip

A 12 year-old Dutch schoolgirl gave birth to a baby girl during a school trip, according to local health services.

“Neither the girl nor her family had realised she was pregnant, and there were no external signs to show it,” a spokesman for the health services said, adding he did not know how many months pregnant the girl had been.

The girl, from Groningen in the north of the Netherlands, was on a day out on Tuesday last week with her classmates where she began to feel violent stomach pains, the spokesman said.

A supervisor thought the pains suspicious and alerted the emergency services.

When ambulance staff arrived they saw the girl was on the point of giving birth and rushed her to a nearby building where she had her baby.

Both “are doing well” in the maternity ward of a Groningen hospital, the spokesman said.
