I know that road. I'd often drive along it when I still lived in Spain. Parts of it are extremely busy. I can't imagine what it would be like for those following and seeing this. (Yes I know how dreadful it was for the passenger and driver)
 
Ha! Seems all that nonsense about fish and sweet potatoes was exactly that. Pension fraud is the name of the game 😀. Bring on the pies 😋

 
And, the 'International Bonehead of the Day' award goes to -


A disqualified driver who drove home from court has been jailed.

Steven Luck, 39, from Darlington, was banned from driving for 28 months and handed fines at Peterlee Magistrates' Court on Tuesday for drink driving.

Following his disqualification, Luck was then seen getting into his car outside court to travel home, Durham Police said.

He was pursued by officers and within 30 minutes of leaving the court he was back in police custody, where he was then sentenced to eight weeks in prison and a further 12-month driving ban.

What a twat! :facepalm: :D
 
That happens all the time, really. Also people who drive to court to defend themselves for driving without a license/insurance. First thing the judge asks them is how they got there.
 
Now really local news..but it’s repeated in the Texas press. This is a weird (read Republican) obituary of an acquaintance from when I lived in Texas. Nixon was a supporter of various gay causes, including keeping an HIV advocacy service serving the Hispanic community going for a long time. He dies without heirs. The obituary is a cut and paste of a family history, and poor Nixon only gets a mention 3/4 of the way down. RIP fella.


..and the funeral is private, I am told no one from the city in which he lived has been invited..ie zero friends.
