More Death In King's Ave:
One of the chickens this time. Poor old Ginger.
New Arrival:
While I was in Russia my delightful family got a cat. Tom seems to have made himself "at home" and welcomes us to each new day by being sick on the carpet.
Driver wins 'yellow lines' case (from the BBC, so it must be true):
Steve Tether has always parked on Lime Street A driver has won a dispute with traffic wardens after he found yellow lines had been painted under his car. Steve Tether, from Hull, parked his car in Lime Street and when he returned he found contractors had pushed his Nissan out of the way to paint yellow lines.
Factory workers opposite watched as the contractors then pushed his car back and carried on painting down the road.
Hull City Council has discussed the matter with Humberside Police who have now agreed to cancel the ticket.
Mr Tether claims he has always parked on the street when he attends band sessions.
He said he was shocked to walk out to find the yellow lines under his car.
"I didn't think they were there when I parked and I thought I'd have noticed them before."
Jason Morrow watched the contractors paint the lines from a warehouse over the road.
He said: "They just pushed the car out of the way and painted under it. Then they put the car back."
Nurse 'tried to kill patients' (again from the BBC, so it must be true):
A hospital nurse accused of attempting to murder four elderly patients was motivated by a drive to free up beds, a court has heard. Barbara Salisbury overstepped the line between humane nursing and callous dispatch when she tried to hasten their deaths, Chester Crown Court was told.
The 47-year-old, from Pontybodkin, north Wales, was working as a ward sister at Leighton Hospital, Crewe, at the time of the alleged offences.
Prosecuting barrister Robin Spencer QC told the jury on Wednesday that Ms Salisbury was even heard urging one patient "give in, it's time to go", as she administered an overdose.
She is accused of trying to kill Reuben Thompson by removing his oxygen supply and she allegedly tried to kill Frank Owen by lying him on his back and telling another nurse: "With any luck his lungs will fill with fluid and he will die."
Less peaceful every week if you ask me.
Circle Flies
A farmer got pulled over by a state trooper for speeding, and the trooper started to lecture the farmer about his speed, and in general began to throw his weight around to try to make the farmer uncomfortable. Finally, the trooper got around to writing out the ticket, and as he was doing that he kept swatting at some flies that were buzzing around his head. The farmer said, "Having some problems with circle flies there, are ya?" The trooper stopped writing the ticket and said--"Well yeah, if that's what they are--I never heard of circle flies". So the farmer says--"Well, circle flies are common on farms. See, they're called circle flies because they're almost always found circling around the back end of a horse."
The trooper says, "Oh," and goes back to writing the ticket. Then after a minute he stops and says, "Hey...wait a minute, are you trying to call me a horses ass?"
The farmer says, "Oh no, officer. I have too much respect for law enforcement and police officers to even think about calling you a horses ass."
The trooper says, "Well, that's a good thing," and goes back to writing the ticket.
After a long pause, the farmer says, "Hard to fool them flies though."

Footy:
24/04/04
Div 1
Crewe 2 - 3 Crystal Palace
Stoke City 0 - 2 West Ham Utd.
Full match report:
We sat in the Family stand where the swearing is only about 120dB. West Ham deserved to win but didn't really look like a premiership side. Highlight of the game was the chanting:
Stoke Fans:
"we'll see you all next year"
West Ham Fans (5 minutes before time):
"We can see you sneaking out"
Div 2
Notts County 1 - 2 Port Vale
The first hot day of the year always catches me out, my red head makes me look like a matchstick.
A500, Th' D Rode
They keep shifting piles of earth about so one day it looks like the ramp to a fly-over and the next it's gone. It's all too confusing for an old bloke like me.
Another quiet week.
