Not really Kev.

First picture is the underpass going under the Ricky Road towards North Watford. There are no more roundabouts than the usual town. All drivers need to do is follow the signs.

Yes I do get asked have you seen Eastenders or the Inbetweeners being filmed. As if I am stalking the location manager for these programmes.

That walk from the Met station will be a thing of the past soon with the new tube running to Vicarage Road and then into the town centre. I live on the other side of Cassiobury and a brisk five minute walk gets you into the Parade/High Street.

I did swim in the Pond back in 1999 after travelling to the Old Wemberlee on a bus. As did many of us. It's a tradition. However you don't half smell when you come out. A couple of friends ended up with gastric upsets.....

And its empty now as a bridge is being built across it by our mad Mayor. And it will be forbidden to swim in there. Just as well. After a Friday night the percentage of hippuric acid increases markedly. This is probably what kills off the resident goldfish rather than Henry the Heron.

No one call's it Intu. Soulless mall with people worshipping mammon. Good place to flirt though as the local girls will drop their skirts at the drop of a hat. We all call it the Harlequin still.

Nando's is the highest level of cuisine you can expect here. The favourite hangout of all the teen wannabees who want for some strange reason to be seen there. They are either on about it or Oceana which has to be one of the worst nightclubs in the land.

The talent is poorish, fights are frequent and the kids in there need to grow some balls the men included.

To be frank the town has lost all it's character. It's a bit of a hole.

Sounds a fine place, Ovey.

We'll need to have the talkFORUM meet up in Watford and go for a Nandos, a dunk in the pool, hope to see Graham Taylor doing some of his after dinner speaking in the Dog and Duck (there has to be one called that and trying our luck in the Oceana before that mammoth FIFTEEN minute walk to the tube station.

Only the addition of 'while listening to Talksport' could make that headline worse, bloody madness.

Aside Quinn details as per 'Quinn' thread, also saw this in last weeks 'Lowestoft Journal': http://www.lowestoftjournal.co.uk/news/ ... _1_4004098

Quite queer and moreso when you note his previous, which made the Mail back in 2012 with a helpful photo of a suspender belt and much amusement of commenters concerning his lack of colour coordination: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... llage.html

Also noting a slighlty more serious previous previous:

Robinson was jailed in 2007 for four years for false imprisonment, sex assault and unlawfully detaining a child, the court heard.

One to ponder whether one of the comments on the Mail article had an influence in his latest stunt:

missntl, Crowthorne, 2 years ago
We had a similar flasher in our neck of the woods. Tied "herself" to a lamp post in lingerie and waited to be "found", then would release themselves and run off. What kick they got out of THAT I will never know!! Caused a lot of speculation at the time who it was!

And:

Kevin Robinson, 31, of Breydon Way, Lowestoft pleaded guilty at Ipswich Crown Court to causing a public nuisance on August 7 last year by alarming motorists by falsely presenting himself at the roadside as a “bound, vulnerable female in urgent need of assistance.”

Man who had sex with family dog is jailed

17:11Thursday 30 April 2015

A man addicted to child pornography, who admitted having sex with the family dog and fantasising about his own children, was jailed for ten months today.

After serving the jail term, Newry Crown Court Judge Kevin Finnegan QC ordered 43-year-old Garth Michael Williams to spend two years on supervised licence conditions, “in order to make progress with his longstanding problems and addictions for an addiction it must be.”

Last month the married civil engineer, originally from South Africa but who was living at Mill Road, Ballyroney in Banbridge at the time, pleaded guilty to a total of 31 offences, including two counts of allowing himself to be penetrated by a living animal on a date unknown between 1 February 2009 and 4 April last year.

In addition Williams, who appeared in the dock wearing a grey suit, pleaded guilty to 10 charges of distributing indecent images of children, 17 counts of possessing or making indecent images of children and two further charges of possessing extreme pornography, all of which occurred on various dates between 10 October 2011 and 4 April 2014.

On Thursday prosecuting barrister Michael Chambers revealed that on the day he was arrested, Williams - who has an address at Station Road in Portstewart - tried to take his own life before turning himself into police.

The lawyer described how police went to his then work place and removed computers and other material but concerned staff contacted the manager to say the officers were looking for Williams.

The manager happened to be with Williams at the time and he agreed to meet the officers but police and staff “became concerned when the defendant failed to appear.”

The officers went to his home and explained to his “upset and concerned wife” why they were looking for her husband.

Im not sure if this is a brilliant insult from a brave man or a tragic attempt at support from an utter moron.
Given the name and location, though, I think the moron option is overwhelming.
But definitely the best newspaper headline of the year so far.

Local news rag desperately grasps for self importance by making a drama out of a crisis.
In particular, their video work is stunning showing dramatic scenes as they happened.
