Melbourne, Jun 21(Ani): A man has asked to be jailed for three months instead of following a two year ban on drinking ordered by a court.

Milo Manu Felix Wild, 22 asked for a jail term because he was depressed that he had to stay at home rather than socializing with friends in pubs and clubs, News.com.au reported.

Magistrate John O'Neill said that the move was 'extraordinary' and that Wild thought that his life was not worth living without alcohol.

Wild had been banned from drinking alcohol following his indecent manner on Anzac Day last year when he pushed over four port-a-loos, exposed himself and threw his own urine at rangers at Litchfield National Park.

He was sentenced on November 23 to three months'.

I remember an ambitious snow fort built with Steve, John and Chuck Shaw over several days. It had bulwarks and buttresses, lookouts and refuges, and even some kind of tunnel, although in a collapse we risked the danger of suffocation. The fort defended against imaginary enemies, and...
