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. |

! If it's not politically correct to
call a black person 'black', why do black people refer to
themselves as black?
! Musical
instruments in shops always attract people who can't
play, never those who can.
! The bottom
has fallen out of the thong market and cracks have
appeared with G-string sales down 17%.
! As a result
of a price war in the pharmaceutical industry, condoms
have been slashed.
! Dogs are
not intelligent. Never trust an animal that gets
surprised by its own farts.
! Why do
parents, who can't control their kids, have so many?
! It is legal to park on yellow
lines at traffic lights if you drive a white van.
! Anyone
understand the fashion for women to shave their pubes to
resemble Adolf Hitler?
! The new
edition of the Highway Code excludes cyclists from all
regulations on the basis that they ignore them anyway.
! A law just
passed by the European Parliament has declared Monday
mornings to be "an infringement of workers'
fundamental human rights", and therefore illegal
throughout the EU.
! For safety
reasons, it is necessary to close the outside lane of
Bradshaw Way in order to water the flowers which are
planted on the central reservation. To ensure maximum
traffic disruption, the council chose to carry out this
task.... at 6.00pm on a Friday!
! TV adverts and
trailers take up as much air-time as the actual
programmes.
! Technology has
made it possible to design things to last just long
enough until the guarantee expires. The days of items
lasting 30 or 40 years have long gone.
! If you need a
local tradesman to do work in your home, phone and get a
quote. Arrange a time for them to call, and then wait.
Quite often they don't turn up. If they don't want the
work, why do they bother paying to advertise?
! After a school
computer was stolen head teacher Diane Reddish said,
"The computer would not be much use outside school.
It's a curriculum computer so the only programmes on it
are for school curriculum software." Obviously Ms
Reddish is unfamiliar with computers and unaware of the
ability to install different software on them.

product or service is 'improved', it invariably becomes
worse.
! Officials think
people might take anti-obesity more seriously if half the
doctors and nurses they see weren't such lard arses.
! A man was
approached in the street by a youth brandishing a knife
and ordered to hand over his wallet. The victim threw a
punch at the youth, breaking one of his teeth, who
promptly fled. Police later visited the victim at his
home and threatened to prosecute him for assault. The
attacker was not charged.
! If you think
nobody cares if you're alive, try missing a couple of
mortgage payments.
! The fall in music sales is
directly proportional to the accelerated crap the music
industry is producing.
! What is it about
TV cameras in the street that always attracts
brain-donors who, in their presence, insist on waving,
pulling stupid faces and acting like complete twats?
! You can keep
puking long after you think you've finished.
! A 19-year-old man
was talking to his friends in the street at around 9.45pm
when two men called him across to them and asked him to
store their numbers on his phone. When he started to key
the numbers in, one of the thieves punched him in the
face, while the other snatched his £300 phone.
! 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 !!!......
! It's hard to
believe speed cameras are only used to improve road
safety when they are hidden behind road signs on a clear,
straight dual carriageway which, for no explicable
reason, has a speed limit of 30mph imposed upon it.
! Why do parents
always take their kids to supermarkets to smack them?
! A man appeared in
court for stealing a slide which the city council had
thrown away - in a skip!
! No matter how much
you care, some people are just arseholes.
! You've turned into
your dad the day you put aside a thin piece of wood to
specifically stir paint with.
! Always remember
you're unique, just like everyone else.
! If you get rained
on whilst travelling to work on foot or by bike, it will
cease to rain, birds will begin to sing in the trees and
all will become a picture of springtime bliss within 30
seconds of arriving at your destination. It will then
proceed to start pissing down again at 5.30.
! Old ladies all
have the same hair style, irrespective of which
hairdresser they use.
! The same people
who pay for £40 worth of groceries using loose change,
then offer a £20 note for a 40p bus fare.
! At the end of
every party there is always a fat girl crying.
! One of the most
awkward things that can happen in a pub is when your pint
to toilet cycle get synchronised with a complete
stranger.
! You're never quite
sure whether its ok to eat green crisps.
! Whatever your age
the desire to make plastic dolls shag is almost
impossible to resist.
! Nobody ever dares
make cup-a-soup in a bowl.
! It's impossible to
describe the smell of a wet cat.
! Rummaging in an
overgrown garden will always turn up a bouncy ball.
! Old ladies can eat
more than you think.
! You can't respect
a man who carries a dog.
! There's no panic
like the panic you momentarily feel when you you've got
your hand or head stuck in something.
! 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.
! When you blow in a
dog's face he gets mad at you, but when you take him in a
car he sticks his head out of the window.
! Having a smoking
section in a restaurant is like having a peeing section
in a swimming pool.
! Put six locks on
your door, all in a row. When you go out, lock every
other one. That way, no matter how long somebody stands
there picking the locks, they're always locking three of
them.
! Why do all people
over the age of 69, insist on telling you their age?
! No one is listening until you
fart.
! Why do people long for eternal
life when they don't even know what to do on a rainy
Sunday afternoon?
! Adverts show you how detergent
takes out bloodstains but if you've got a T-shirt with
bloodstains all over it, maybe your laundry isn't your
biggest problem.
! The city council's plan to prevent
people fly-posting for free in the city - is to charge
them £3 to do it. They hope 15 new 2 metre-high
cylindrical advertising pillars will tempt those
responsible for fly-posting to pay for a legal place for
their stickers. Please form an orderly
queue..............
