Say again....?
COME AGAIN....?
Road users aged 17 to 24 are responsible for the highest number of accidents so how do the DVLA respond? They propose to make pensioners over the age of 70 take, and pay, for fitness tests.
A deaf man who caused grievous bodily harm, leaving his victim with a fractured skull, swelling to his brain and a broken jaw, received a lenient sentence because of his disability. Mark Van der Zwart, mitigating, argued that the judge should take his client's disability into account before passing sentence. He said, "He'd find it very difficult in prison because of his condition and he'd become isolated because of it." His victim will rejoice at that news!
A new scheme which aims to increase the numbers of magistrates from black and ethnic communities is being set up in Derby. The scheme, set up to help address the deficit of black and ethnic magistrates, gives black and ethnic minority people the chance to shadow a magistrate for 6 months. It is hoped that by giving people first hand knowledge of the responsibilities and roles of magistrates more people from ethnic backgrounds will then apply to do the job themselves.
A woman called for mobile phone companies to increase security on their networks, after her son racked up a £12 bill phoning adult chat lines. The 13-year-old boy was using a "pay as you go" account, but a separate bill was sent to his mother's house in Sinfin. The billing company ordered her to pay and threatened court action against her son, if she did not. Nancy Higginbotham said if internet providers can provide safeguards for children, then phone companies should too.
You can get by on charm for about fifteen minutes. After that, you'd better have a big dick or huge tits.
The police say they will be cracking down on the 1,000 criminals who are held to be responsible for most crime in Derbyshire and will be concentrating on offenders who are over 18 and have been convicted of six or more crimes during the last year. Which provokes the thought - if they've been found guilty of six crimes in a year, why the hell aren't they behind bars already?
A £50,000 project to improve a play area off Knightsbridge, Mackworth, was hit by vandals who set fire to its new bitumen surface before the upgrade had even been finished. The council said it would repair the damage and continue with the work to improve the area. Why? The vandalism will continue, the culprits will never be caught and prosecuted, and this will be yet another waste of taxpayers money. The yobs responsible are no doubt the same ones who complain there are no facilities for them and they have nothing to do. Shame!
Don't worry, it only seems kinky the first time.
Norman Grant claimed he suffered painful head and wrist injuries in an accident at his home, after his new Dyson vacuum cleaner sent him flying down the stairs. He said the hose extension knocked him down his stairs as he tried to clean cobwebs. A Dyson spokesman said, "We would not recommend that anyone use their vacuum cleaner while standing on a chair at the top of the stairs."
Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
There are two theories to arguing with women....neither one works.
A petition has been handed in to the city council by members of the Asian community of Normanton calling for the council to take action over tensions caused by Iraqi asylum seekers. They claim that "the asylum seekers should not have been placed in what is a 'majority' Asian community," adding, "this has caused problems because they don't seem to fit in with Western culture." When the various Asian groups came to settle here in the 1960's, if the population of Derby had tried to present a similar petition, it would have been condemned as racist.

! After a school computer was stolen head teacher Diane Reddish said, "The computer would not be much use outside school.

! Never test the depth of the water with both feet.

! Firefighters released a 12-year-old boy who had locked himself in his mother's handcuffs, which he'd found while playing. Either his mum is a police officer or, whey-hey !!!......

! The most painful household incident is wearing socks and stepping on an upturned plug.

! People who don't drive, slam car doors too hard.

! In every plate of chips there is a bad chip.

! Triangular sandwiches taste better than square ones.

! Whenever you walk towards a sliding door, there is a moment when you become convinced that the door isn't going to open and you are going to walk straight into it.

! It is impossible to walk on and off escalators without some loss of dignity.
