Sharon Osbourne said her’ heart pangs’ following Liam Payne’s death 

 Sharon Osbourne thinks the music assiduity’ let you down’ in her heartbreaking homage to Liam Payne. 

 Payne, 31, was set up dead after falling from a third bottom deck of the Casa Sur Hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on Wednesday( 16 October). 

 A posthumous examination report showed that the songster failed of multiple traumas and’ internal and external haemorrhage’. 

 Former The X Factor judge Osbourne made a guest appearance in 2010 to help Louis Walsh at the judges’ houses phase of the competition. 

 That same time, Payne rose to fame on the show, alongside Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson, when One Direction was formed. 

 In a homage participated on Instagram, Osbourne wrote” Liam, my heart pangs. We all let you down.” 

 Questioning the music assiduity, she added” Where was this assiduity when you demanded them? 

” You were just a sprat when you entered one of the toughest diligence in the world. 

” Who was in your corner? Rest in peace my friend.” 

 Previous to the songster’s death on Wednesday, police participated a paraphrase of calls made by hostel staff asking for backing for a guest who was’ intoxicated by medicines and alcohol’. 

 In a statement, police said Payne’s hostel room had been’ in complete disarray’ with’ colorful particulars broken’. 

 Argentina’s National Criminal and Correctional Prosecutor’s Office are pertaining to the incident as an’ inconclusive death’. 

 Last night,( 17 October) Louis, Zayn, Niall and Harry, put out a common statement following their former bandmates death. 

” We are fully devastated by the news of Liam’s end,” it read. 

” In time, and when everyone is suitable to, there will be further to say. But for now, we will take some time to suffer and reuse the loss of our family, who we loved dearly. 

” The recollections we participated with him will be treasured ever. 

” For now, our studies are with his family, his musketeers, and the suckers who loved him alongside us. 

” We’ll miss him terribly. We love you Liam.” 

 Former The X Factor co-star Rebecca Ferguson has since admitted that she’s been bothered about Payne for a while. 

 The songster- tunesmith, who also appeared on the gift show in 2010, said on a live X Space “ I transferred a communication to some of the suckers and I said ‘ I’m really upset about Liam, how do I get in touch with him?’ and no- bone knew how. 

 “ But I’ve been bothered about him for a while because I could see that he was n’t in a good place, and I allowed  he might have been touched off by a lot of the stuff that has been in the news then recently as well. ” 

My Neighbor Doused My Car With Water In Freezing Weather – He Regretted It That Same Night

When my wealthy neighbor deemed my cherished old sedan an “eyesore,” he took matters into his own hands and froze my car solid overnight. But that same night, karma taught him a harsh lesson.

I never thought I’d end up in a neighborhood where every driveway sports at least one shiny German import and landscapers show up like clockwork every Thursday morning.

But here I was, thanks to my company’s corporate housing program, feeling like the poster child for imposter syndrome with my dad’s beat-up 1989 sedan.

That car was everything to me. Every ding and scratch told a story, like the small dent in the rear bumper from when Dad taught me to parallel park, or the tiny crack in the dashboard where he used to tap his fingers along to Johnny Cash.

After Dad passed, keeping that car running became my way of keeping his memory alive.

I was out there one crisp fall morning, giving the old girl her weekly wash, when I heard the crunch of expensive shoes on fallen leaves.

“Excuse me, miss” The voice dripped with the kind of entitled condescension you can only perfect through years of country club memberships.

I turned around, soap suds dripping from my hands, to find my neighbor Tom, looking like he’d just stepped out of a catalog for overpriced golf wear. His perfectly styled hair didn’t move an inch in the morning breeze.

“You can call me Lila.” I kept scrubbing at a particularly stubborn bird dropping.

“Right.” His jaw tightened slightly. “Look, I need to talk to you about this…” He gestured at my car with obvious distaste, his signet ring catching the morning light. “This vehicle situation.”

I straightened up, crossing my arms. “Vehicle situation?”

“It’s an eyesore.” He didn’t even try to soften the blow.

“People move to this neighborhood for a certain… aesthetic and quality of life. And your car, well, it’s destroying property values. Not to mention the environmental impact — do you have any idea what kind of pollutants that ancient engine is spewing? My children play outside!”

I couldn’t help but laugh. The sound echoed off the perfectly maintained facades of our matching houses.

“Your kids play outside? Since when? The only time I see them is when they’re being shuttled between your house and your massive SUV. Which, by the way, probably burns more fuel in a week than my car does in a month.”

His face reddened, the color creeping up from his starched collar. “That’s not the point. The point is that you need to get rid of this junk heap. It doesn’t belong here, and frankly—” he lowered his voice conspiratorially, “—neither do you.”

“Oh, really?” I cocked my head, feeling my father’s stubborn streak rising in me. The same stubbornness that had helped him build his auto repair shop from nothing. “Are you offering to buy me a new car?”

“Of course not, but if you don’t get rid of it within a week,” he said, jaw clenched, “I’ll make sure you have to replace it. This isn’t the kind of neighborhood where we tolerate… diminishing standards.”

I waved my soapy sponge at him, sending a spray of bubbles his way. He jumped back like I’d thrown acid. “Was that a threat, Tom? Because it sounded an awful lot like a threat.”

He turned on his heel and stalked away, leaving me wondering what kind of person actually talks like that in real life.

I finished washing my old car and went inside. I didn’t think much about the conversation until a week later when I found out exactly what kind of person Tom was.

The morning air bit at my face as I stepped outside, travel mug of coffee in hand, ready for work. The sunrise was painting the sky in shades of pink and gold, but I stopped dead in my tracks, nearly dropping my coffee.

My car was completely encased in ice; thick, clear ice that looked nothing like natural frost.

It was as if someone had spent hours spraying it with a hose in the freezing night air.

The morning light refracted through the frozen shell, creating tiny rainbows that would have been beautiful if they weren’t so infuriating.

“Careful,” came Tom’s voice from his porch next door. He was lounging in an Adirondack chair, sipping his morning coffee with a smile that made me want to throw something. His breath made little clouds in the cold air. “Looks like it’s raining every night! Hope you’ve got a good scraper.”

I stormed over to his porch, my boots leaving angry prints on his perfect lawn. “Are you serious right now? This is how you handle things? What are you, twelve?”

“I’m sure I don’t know what you mean.” His smug smile never wavered. “Mother Nature can be so unpredictable. Especially in this neighborhood.”

“Mother Nature doesn’t target single cars, Tom.” My hands were shaking with anger. “This is harassment. And pretty childish harassment at that.”

“Prove it.” He took another sip of coffee, the steam curling around his face like a villain’s smokescreen. “Or better yet, take the hint and get rid of that heap, or move. I’m sure there’s a nice apartment complex somewhere that would be more… suitable for your situation.”

I spent the next three hours chipping away at the ice, my hands going numb despite my gloves. The whole time, I plotted elaborate revenge scenarios, each more ridiculous than the last.

But Dad’s voice echoed in my memory: “The best revenge is living well, kiddo. And keeping your hands clean means you never have to look over your shoulder.”

That night, a strange whooshing sound jolted me awake. At first, I thought it was just the wind, but there was something different about it, something almost musical… like water.

I rushed to my window, half-expecting to catch Tom creating another ice sculpture out of my car. Instead, I burst out laughing.

A fire hydrant at the edge of Tom’s property had exploded, sending a powerful jet of water directly at his house. In the freezing night air, the water was turning to ice on contact, slowly encasing his perfect home and his precious German SUV in a thick crystal shell.

The streetlights caught each frozen droplet, turning his property into a bizarre winter wonderland.

By morning, half the neighborhood had gathered to gawk at the spectacle. Some were taking photos with their phones, others whispering behind their hands.

Tom stood in his driveway, attacking the ice with a tiny garden shovel, looking absolutely miserable in his designer winter coat. His perfectly styled hair was finally out of place, plastered to his forehead with sweat despite the cold.

I watched him struggle for a few minutes before sighing heavily. Dad would’ve known what to do.

He always said that kindness costs nothing but means everything. I grabbed my heavy-duty ice scraper and walked over.

“Want some help?” I asked, trying not to sound too amused. “I’ve got some experience with this sort of thing.”

Tom looked up, surprised and suspicious. His face was red from exertion, his breath coming in short puffs. “Why would you help me? After everything?”

I shrugged and started scraping. “Guess I’m just a better neighbor than you.”

We worked in silence for hours, gradually freeing his car and clearing a path to his front door. By the time we finished, the sun was setting, and we were both exhausted.

The next morning, there was a knock at my door. Tom stood there, shifting his weight from foot to foot, making his expensive shoes creak.

“I owe you an apology,” he said. “I was a jerk. You didn’t have to help me yesterday, but you did.” He thrust an envelope at me. “This is to thank you… and to make amends.”

Inside was $5,000 in hundred-dollar bills. I stared at it, then at him, the paper crisp between my fingers.

“It’s for your car,” he explained quickly. “Get it fixed up — or get a new one if you’d prefer. Consider it a peace offering. And… I’m sorry about what I said. About you not belonging here.”

I looked at the money, then at my dad’s old sedan sitting in the driveway.

“Thanks, Tom,” I said, tucking the envelope into my pocket. “I think I know exactly what I’m going to do with this.”

A week later, my old sedan was sporting a fresh coat of paint, new tires, and a completely rebuilt engine. It stood out even more now as a perfectly restored classic in a sea of modern luxury vehicles.

Every time I caught Tom looking at it, I made sure to rev the engine extra loud. Sometimes he’d even give me a grudging nod of appreciation.

Sometimes the best revenge isn’t revenge at all.

Dad always said that class isn’t about what you own — it’s about how you treat people, even the ones who don’t deserve it.

Here’s another story: When sleep-deprived mom Genevieve discovers her car covered in eggs, she thinks it’s a prank — until her smug neighbor Brad admits he did it because her car was ruining the view of his elaborate Halloween display. Furious but too exhausted to argue, Genevieve vows to teach him a lesson.
