Chippenham woman was so drunk
Chippenham woman was so drunk she crashed car into McDonald’s
The heavily intoxicated 54-year-old crashed her Fiat 500 into a bin and a curb [sic] when she arrived at about 10pm on Tuesday (24 October) – and narrowly avoided hitting a lamppost.
After ordering her meal at the Bath Road drive-through, she was told to park in the waiting bay. As she attempted to do so, she struck the building and a raised seating area.

Edit: Wild horses wouldn’t drag me to Las Vegas – I’ve heard of the Tesla tunnels project. So far, it looks to have delivered one mile of tunnel between the Las Vegas Convention Center and Resorts World (central hall, please don’t write in telling me that the western hall is across the road from Resorts World, I don’t want to hear it.)
This all seems like a massive amount of trouble to go to to operate an underground taxi service.
Las Vegas is a fascinating Google Maps fly-through, looks like a computer has designed it – check out Suzy Nagle Avenue – a gated community the Google car could only gaze at from afar.

Man in latex gimp suit terrified female drivers on pitch black country lane
Joshua Hunt wore a latex black gimp suit with mask which had eyes and mouth drawn on in UV paint
There came a disgruntled shuffle from Holme’s chair as he studied The Times, which Watson knew all too well could lead to their next case. He made his way over to enquire, “this, Watson, this” he exclaimed – Holmes slapped the article with his fingers and threw aside the open newspaper and now sat away facing the window.
Watson browsed the story, “this rather peculiar affair…something amiss here, Holmes?”
“Watson, fetch the Bradshaw, we must away for Weston super Mare. This man is innocent and I shall prove it! ”

EDIT: As the London train pulled out of Weston Super Mare station, Holmes settled back and began filling his pipe. He struck a match and the bowl began to draw. “But Holmes,” began Watson earnestly from the opposite seat, “how did you know that the drivers were mistaken?”.
“Watson, I despair of you some times.” He rested the pipe on the little table by the compartment window. “A dark country lane, a man dressed head to toe in black?”
Watson looked none the wiser: he was about to speak, but Holmes stopped him, “there is no possibility of a driver being able to see any anyone wearing black in full daylight, never mind about darkness. The newspaper account alone convinced me of that.”

What’s next, cancelling Santa?’ – BBC antiques expert fumes as museum drops ‘Christmas’ from market
But David, who has appeared on Antiques Roadshow, Flog It! and Bargain Hunt, said: “This is the closest we have got to a Cromwellian society. What will they ban next year? Santa? Reindeers? Christmas hats as it’s offensive?
“My business is antiques and history, that’s how I make my living. History and tradition, they are inextricably linked, anything that erodes our traditions I am opposed to.”

Englishman says he will ‘stop
Englishman says he will ‘stop coming’ to Wales on holiday because it is ‘too risky’ with 20mph speed limit
‘It looks as if Wales’ loss will be Devon’s gain’
“Sadly we have deiced to call a stop to our Welsh breaks as we are not prepared to risk a large fine and three penalty points for accidently doing 22mph in a built up area. It looks as if Wales’ loss will be Devon’s gain. I might add that several of our acquaintances all feel the same. We will really miss Wales.”
