At last! A foolproof way for the French government to conquer its budget deficit.

Should've given him tree points on his licence...

I wonder which branch of the local authority levied the fine?

Poor sap, he thought he'd berried it.

The magistrate didn't beat round the bush, that's a heavy fine. No one wood do that again.

>>Shears....

That was a bit of a cutting remark.

If someone who takes up space unnecessarily on a road is a road hog, then someone who takes up space in a hedge must be...

Never mind.

We're back to pr*cks on the outside again aren't we? Thus neatly joining the cactus and hedge threads :)

I know, that occurred to me too, thought I'd stop before it becomes a reputation.

I've had enough trouble with mirrors.

Yes, sorry... Perhaps a comment best made in privet? If the mods have an issue I'm sure it'll be pruned...

Might have been an art thief...

A thief stole some very expensive paintings from the Louvre in Paris. He took two Van Goghs, a couple of Monets, a DeGas, and some other paintings.

Everything went perfectly, except he was captured sitting in his van with the paintings only 2 blocks from the museum. His van had run out of fuel. When asked by the police how he could plan such a successful robbery and then be foiled by such a simple error, he replied...'I had no MONET to buy DEGAS to make the VAN GOGH!'

Like anyone in Fishermead's got 1700 quid. I'd have left it there, it would improve the view.

The defendant was from Northampton but same principle may well apply.

Some suggestion he was related to Mike Hawthorn. But it might be a different family tree.

His partner Portuguese Laurel said he's a bit of a cad, but more so. You know, a bit boundery.

Rumour has it that the van is a Leyland II though it's hard to cedar badge.
