Criminal of the Day
Quote: KRISTINA Berezovska, 30, of Havelock Road, Derby, was given a six-month jail sentence, suspended for 12 months, for stealing flip flops from the 99p Store in Normanton on May 4. She must pay an £80 victim surcharge and £85 costs.
A 99p Store does exactly what it says on the tin, everything costs 99 pence.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

I believe that was the aim of the bloke who started the chain, simply to undercut poundland and let that fact do his advertising for him.
Chain is growing very quickly, I think we may have one in Lichfield now although as there is almost nothing in the city centre but bars, cafes and charity shops these days it is not somewhere I go when needing to buy anything.

Same with all city centres, and most towns too.
The local town has a centre with shops still - but they are dying slowly as well.

There is also PoundWorld, which Mrs Wife assures me is reet posh compared to Poundland.

Maybe she simply wanted to try them out in peace and quiet at home before deciding if she wanted to pay such a humungous price. Surely, she would either have brought them back or paid for them at a later date?!?!?

KRISTINA Berezovska: 6 Months for 99p item
Rolf Harris: 5 years 9 months = 69 Months for touching up under-age girls.
Something is wrong with the sentencing here, Jake the Peg's crimes have a money-equivalent value of about £11.40

I just sicked in my mouth a little. I'm pretty sure there is a pun to be had on her surname though.

He means that he's got an impressive shrunken head collection and one of those multi-assault blowpipes, the bagpipe.

Of course he is an expert - he was able to send you a spam with all your shields up!!!
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

stepped on one of those penny scales that tell you your fortune and weight and dropped in a coin.
"Listen to this," he said to his wife, showing her a small, white card.
"It says I'm energetic, bright, resourceful and a great person."
"Yeah," his wife nodded,
"and it has your weight wrong, too."

"I say I say I say! Dost thou see-est this newe and most awful and artificial invention, that of which I speake being called the Zoetrope? I heard many a young lad say that therein lies a scene where the Dutchesse of Devonshire doth disrobe and the footemane doth observe through the key-hole, in the most lewde and humorous manner!"

Indeed thou say Sirrah? Most assuredly I am forsooth fain of this intelligence!
The Dutchesse of Devonshire doth disrobe her habiliment? For her cicisbeo, I presume?
