Car crashes into building - please post your Local news stories
Running this one up the flagpole to see who salutes...
I just don't remember this being a thing until recently, now it seems a daily occurrence.
Could it be that there are drivers not up to the job, too many cars; should houses be made to ride in single file, shops put on high viz, why are we putting newer buildings in danger like this, it's irresponsible.

'A Dorset Police spokesperson said: "Dorset Police was called at 12.48pm on Thursday, August 13, to a report of a collision involving a car and a wall outside Iceland on Poole Road in Bournemouth.
"It is reported that the vehicle was also in collision with a pedestrian, but they did not require medical treatment." '

It was Doctoring the Tardis, wasn't it, a kind of Gary Glitter (Rock and Roll) and Who theme mash-up.
Not in that case, it was to do with a W204 C Class being driven in a "spirited fashion" and I was aware of it because mine only had traction control.
Right, pay attention
http://tinrylandalpacas.com/alpaca-vs-llama/
A KLF "art" project.
it was totally an Alpaca
it was just the police tweet where they called it a "lama"
Gary Glitter may well be ancient...
But he's certainly not justified...
<face/palm> You're quite right, mea culpa
I don't recall Madness/ Judge Dredd, though. Can you hum it?
"You hum it, I'll smash your face in."
I'll get me Crombie coat.

As a fan of Madness (well, the earlier ska-based stuff), I can say that song is dire.
It is. But we were just discussing songs based on popular culture, not whether they were good songs based on popular culture...
Where did it all go wrong? After Our House?
When they made a conscious (and announced) decision not to be a ska band any more and Suggs decided he had a soul voice. As an old fart I can well remember the sense of despair which greeted every album after about 1982.
Yep, pretty much.
A pedant writes: the Judge Dredd song, Mutants in Mega-City One, was by the Fink Brothers, Suggs and Carl from Madness, rather than an official Madness release.
I'll get me baggy trousers...
"Star Trekkin'" by The Firm, not many remember another record they had 5 years earlier, "Arthur Daley E's Alright".
...and who remembers Mel Brook's Hitler rap? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zpYQJkBQp0
Going back a bit further with novelty records, I happened across the only performance of Monster Mash with Boris Karloff on Shindig - unfortunately there's a huge logo right across the screen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J45fHh8TP8A
Very much maligned and mis-understood
(Possibly a whoosh) Wasn't that the 90s?
I heard from a friend of a friend who used to work at Rover that when Rover redesigned the BMW Z rear axle for the 75 it handled so well that BMW insisted it was 'softened' to avoid showing up the M5. Sounds unlikely but I always hoped it was true.
Stuipid buildings don't pay road tax
I was trying to imagine the headlines if it was a cyclist wot dun it.

Who pays to fix or redo that concrete ? as it doesnt read like the car driver is automatically coughing up for it, despite being clearly an idiot and at fault.
It's just like here where a charity shop took nearly a year to reopen after a range rover driver tried to make it a drive thru, doesnt read like the car drivers insurance pays out for it necessarily

Is that a rental scooter or a <clutches pearls> illegal privately owned one?

This is the same island / house location as the one the other week with the car pictured on it's roof. The main road straight across is 40mph because houses are only one side of them and rich people don't want to drive slow, yet the road designs are really for 30mph use.
