Lionel Messi has dealt with the problem of having annoying neighbours by simply buying their house, like a boss.

It's not often we hear of Lionel Messi doing something extravagant with all his money, but it seems like he might have done just that by purchasing his neighbour's house.

According to a report in Spanish paper El Mundo Deportivo, Messi is currently living in the Pedralbes area of Barcelona with his wife and son, where they bought an apartment a little over a year ago. However, they are only there as a temporary measure while their house in the Castelfedells neighbourhood is being renovated.

His neighbours, who were having problems meeting the demands of their mortgage, offered to sell their house to Messi, but the Argentine wasn't interested.

As a result, the neighbours poor behaviour increased, including a lot of noise and loud music at all hours, but that wasn't the worst of it. To make a bit of extra cash, they started renting out the house to interested fans and celebrity spotters who wanted to get a look at the football superstar.

When he built a wall to stop this from happening, they threatened to report the Messis for making the wall too high.

As a result, Messi decided to just take their house, as they originally suggested, just to get some peace and quiet for the price of about a million euro. It's a tough aul life all the same.

Let's face it, a sizzling hot body is every woman's envy and every man's desire but achieving it can often feel like climbing a mountain.

Shedding those extra pounds doesn't mean living on a diet of cabbage soup, banning carbs or macrobiotic nonsense.

A motivation boost and a little bit of discipline is all you need. Here's his top ten tips to getting the perfect beach body



1. Set Goals

To score you need to set the goals up with simple targets and realistic time frames. Make sure you set yourself up for success with small step by step achievements. For example, losing 3 stone in 5 weeks could be impossible yet dropping a jean size in 4 weeks is far more achievable and will make you feel on top of the world. So the key is think small, bit by bit and throw away the scales!

2. A Clean Diet & Plenty of Water

Before you embark on your new total fitness & wellbeing campaign, take a look at what you are eating and especially what you are not. To maintain good health, boost your metabolism, fuel your workouts and recover you will require a sensible balanced diet. Try to consume around 40% protein, 40% carbs with 20% good fats. Create all your meals from fresh ingredients........

Andy Murray will begin his 2013 clay-court season against Edouard Roger-Vasselin in Monte Carlo on Wednesday.

Murray will face the Frenchman for the second time, having won their previous meeting in Australia last year.

The Briton is seeded second behind Novak Djokovic, who will play Mikhail Youzhny in his opening match despite worries over an ankle injury.

Rafael Nadal begins his quest for a ninth successive Monte Carlo title against Australia's Marinko Matosevic.

Murray on clay in 2012
•Monte Carlo: Quarter-final (lost to Tomas Berdych)
•Barcelona: Quarter-final (lost to Milos Raonic)
•Rome: Last 16 (lost to Richard Gasquet)
•French Open: Quarter-final (lost to David Ferrer)

Djokovic, 25, confirmed on Tuesday that he will play after recovering sufficiently from twisting his right ankle on Davis Cup duty on 7 April.

The Serb, who has a home in Monte Carlo, said: "My ankle is in a state that is good enough for me to perform tomorrow, and hopefully I can perform my best and I can win and see how it goes day by day."

Murray will be hoping to close the gap to Djokovic in the rankings with a good clay-court season, having failed to get past the quarter-finals in four attempts on the surface last year.

So so sad, how can people be so heartless? Robbed all those wt money, despoiled d ladies n then asked d driver to crush those without money. big question, if you were the driver of the bus, what would you have done?

Ibime:
This sounds like logic to me. . . . I dont think anyone would lie down and wait for a bus to crush them. . . .if you look at the bodies on the ground sef, they've obviously been crushed by a vehicle travelling at full speed, not a bus going slowly over them.

did you not read it on the dailies abi you did not see live footage on tv? its all in the media

your head dey shake !

this is a recent occurrence as i have a friend whose brother was in the accident of last year when the robbers told them to lie down and a truck ran over them. actually went to the funeral. this happened a few days ago along Aba express way. it seems the demons in this robbers are becoming more blood thirsty. i just heard that women in a village in delta state are running for their lives because they are being captured and vital parts of their bodies are been taken off ! IGBUZO TO BE EXACT

God have mercy. This is unbelievable. May their souls RIP


na so we see am o! annoying thing is that no security agency is talking about it or has made a statement about it

who ever did this is heartless and barbaric, hope he continues to have nightmares and see the faces of those he killed for the rest of His Life !
