You could have locked it in 2014!

I assume it didn't catch on. A shame. All their dreams, all that sparkle, just down the pan....

Maybe it was Jenson Button and he forgot it wasn't a doorless single seater.

I thought the complaint was going to be that the lesser team was on top.

You wonder how much of this buffoonery is happening every day.

I dare say so much happens that doesn’t get reported (or rectified before the emergency services are brought in).

I’ve not read the story, so I cannot possibly fathom a scenario like this would arise. I darent read it for fear of having my interest piqued and rushing out to B&Q to purchase some quick drying cement.

Fire Service says the cost was £650 but they won't be charging because a life was in danger.

It was Polyfilla, if you're tempted.

Although I would suggest doing not to a despicable relative on 25th December 8-)

If trying this at home, don't forget to "protect" your head inside a plastic bag.

Rather shoddy reporting. They don't even mention whether the authorities have tracked him down, let alone whether they have charged him or, hopefully, given him the deserved punishment.

We weren't even told the value of his house so how can we possibly come to a conclusion?

Must be a piece of *^%# being a journalist nowadays; spend your day scanning Facebook, find something mildly interesting or misleading, republish it with your own headline (or nick theirs).
