He's been bailed, he could be driving around for another three and a half months. He was already disqualified so driving bans apparently don't bother him:

Don't blame you, I would if I could! I'd feel guilty about it, but I'd be silly not to exploit a hare-brained scheme. Principles schminciples.
-
Ah, ok. So I can get it, so long as I move.
As I understand it, you don't even have to move, you can just re-mortgage the house you're in. You have to sign a form that says you have no other properties.

Thatcher flogging off council houses started the house price insane inflation. That housing stock wasn't replaced, people made obscene profits:
A Daily Mirror investigation found a third of ex-council homes sold in the 1980s under Margaret Thatcher were now owned by private landlords.
In one London borough almost half of ex-council properties are now sub-let to tenants.
Tycoon Charles Gow and his wife own at least 40 ex-council flats on one South London estate.
His father Ian Gow was one of Mrs Thatcher’s top aides and was Housing Minister during the peak years of right-to-buy.

This government could start a huge home-building scheme, employ thousands, get them off benefits and learn a building trade, but this would be political suicide, increasing supply will depress prices. So what are the tories doing now? Exactly what they shouldn't- stoke up supply. Help-To- Buy is a bribe for well-off middle class people. Potential tory voters, in other words. Insane, and irresponsible. This tory bribe, along with foreign money flooding into London to buy property (a third of all properties over £1m are sold to overseas buyers. 40% of the new flats at Stratford have been bought by Chinese investors, who may well rent out to Londoners who get Housing Benefit) is inflating a housing bubble that may well burst long before interest rates start rising.

Is Sir Sean available for tennish?

He wanted to show me some USB lights he had in the window so he climbed up on a cardboard bike box and leaned over precariously, wobbling on one foot. "Careful!" I said. "S' alright" he said.
Ta for holding the door open thross, I like the fraternal courtesy of that shop.

^^ wasn't black, it was dark burgundy. It was also me. Were you the chap going in?
Yep, getting the Dawes serviced. He can chat for England, that bloke. -
Black fixed gear coming out of Freeman's this morning about eleven, didn't see the make.

I think that's very nearly the same as the gesture in Bsl for milkshake, which could cause all kinds of confusion in KFC.

What a horrible human being.
I mean, white trousers?
That annoyed me so much I looked it up:
The theft occurred at Minute Maid Park this past Thursday, as the visiting Diamondbacks played the Astros.
The TV clip (below) includes brief commentary from DBacks announcers Daron Sutton and Mark Grace, who were audibly amazed at the woman’s greed. According to several message board posts written by people who say they were at the game, Sutton and Grace later both autographed another ball and gave it to the little girl.
Another commenter said that people in that section booed the woman for a full five minutes. -
Utterly farcical. No mention of the stupid helmet comments?
-
It's not a fifteen minute take.
-
It's unlawful detention, you can't just seize someone because they were with someone who may have done something. Habeus corpus. Did she die in vain? IANAL.
It's truly bizarre, it's like getting hit by a car and running over to punch someone at the bus stop.

As long as it's not this woman in lycra I don't mind
She seems to have deleted her blog post. I asked a few questions that challenged her account.

Hang on:
PC Andrew Duncan, 47, was on foot when he tried to stop a car in Sutton at 00:50 BST on Friday but the vehicle struck him.
The father-of-two died in hospital in the early hours, the Met said.
A 25-year-old man arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury while dangerous driving has now been arrested on suspicion of murder.

That was my mistake, sorry, Jennie Jones felt that the charge should be attempted murder, before the officer passed away. Two other men and a woman also arrested.
If it was a road stop and the driver deliberately drove at the officer there's an argument the charge should be murder, maybe it's a shame the CPS didn't go for it.
-
And the charge is changed to murder.
-
Wasn't sure where to put that. Scary stuff. Jennie Jones says the people who drove at the copper should be charged with attempted murder.
