The "one in one out" scheme with France has had its second migrant returning to the UK by boat. The man was detained immediately having been detected by biometrics and will be sent back to France "as quickly as possible",...the Home Office has said.
My next door neighbour doesn't have to worry anymore about his Range Rover being stolen for a second time. Last week he wrote it off....he was waiting at road works for the single lane to become clear....he saw two cars coming through....so pulled out to go through the single lane once they had passed....to be promptly hit by a third car coming through. This third car was a Mini....it hit the front of the Range Rover at an angle....and of course was badly damaged....but the extraordinary thing was that the Range Rovers front wheels ended up facing sideways plus the engine unit being badly damaged. How on earth can a little Mini cause so much damage to a Monster Range Rover ?......he has a feeling that he will lose his driving licence because of his age and because he admits that it was his fault.
Road vehicles aren’t engineered as tanks and the front end is a crumple-zone to absorb the shock of a head-on impact. That means sacrificing the body work to protect the occupants of both vehicles.
£40,000 written off just like that.....I think I was told that if a repair cost more than 60% of the value of the vehicle the insurer just writes it off.
Been reading an interesting story on BBC Sport how teams try to gain an advantage over there opponents. 1.....It is claimed that Sunderland moved the advertising hoardings nearer the touch line....to cut down Arsenal's long throw tactics leaving less room to wind up their throwing run up. 2.....It is claimed that Norwich have painted the away dressing room pink to give a calming down effect. 3.....It also has been known to only supply cold showers in away dressing rooms before matches. 4.....Also known to make dressing rooms too hot or too cold before matches. 5.....Also been known to warm up in hot water the footballs that the away team use in their warm ups (makes them heavier). 6.....Away coach parked a distance from the ground so that they have to walk. 7.....Home team allowing the grass to grow longer to stop quick-paced...short passing teams less chance of playing their natural game. I mention this because I am trying to work out why Argyle wear pansy pink shorts at away games....is there something to be gained by the opposition being lulled into a calmer approach...?.......well for sure it ain't working.
