That Nicholas Cage actually turned on the Christmas lights in... Bath. To quote Empire Online: "It’s official. It happened. It actually frickin’ happened. Nicolas Cage - Oscar-winner, ace actor, huge movie star and marvellous eccentric - switched on the Christmas lights in his adopted hometown of Bath last night. Cage, who has owned several properties in and around the beautiful Somerset town (just a stone’s throw from Hot Fuzz's Wells) for a few years now, was asked to turn on the lights - usually the domain of C-list celebs and the town's Mayor - by a local resident, Emma Samways, who popped a letter through his front door. Cage readily agreed and last night, sporting a long coat, swept-back hair and a snow-white goatee, he appeared on stage in front of thousands of screaming fans (or neighbours) and, egged on by the event’s presenter, professional twonk Toby Anstis, pressed the plunger that turned on the shiny display: 'Thank you citizens of Bath, citizens of Somerset, for your kindness and your graciousness in welcoming me to your beautiful community,” said Cage, before slipping into classic unrestrained wild man mode. “I can feel the electricity running down my right arm. I gotta switch something here! I can feel it!'"... That Nicolas Cage is more broke than previous thought...

I am sure they trigger a response in some of the young people. I can never understand how they can get away with making those things. It has happened too quickly, values have changed so much. I suppose it's peer pressure, that's the problem. You don't want to look the odd one out... But it takes a strong person to show that they don't approve, especially at that age. It's a breakdown of discipline. There doesn't seem to be any punishment for such behaviour. The teachers are too kind"...
