Alice Walpole, 24, marine biologist, 24, who was ’10 out of 10 drunk’ on Barcardi and Coke, smashed a glass into a stranger’s face and almost blinded him in completely unprovoked attack after flirting with him in a bar. Suspended sentence.

Our thanks to Ray for this. The end of the piece:

Mr Rupert Taylor, defending, said Walpole has never been in trouble before and the attack was completely out of character.

She was anxious and depressed at the time because of a family illness and drank far more than she should have done, she added.

Her work at Bristol aquarium made her unsuitable for a curfew because she was on call at all hours and could not wear a tag because she sometimes had to dive into deep fish tanks.
