A no news article perhaps. The eponymous name however gives it a different impact.

Quote: he was told to complete 150 hours of unpaid work
and Quote: The judge said he made no order for compensation because Pratt had no job or money.
Maybe he should start with repairing the home he ruined??

Yes, great idea. I'm sure he will deliver high-quality work.

I'm not sure about the UK but in my whereabouts I usually see a lot of workers on building sites which don't necessarily had lots of training in their profession. There is a lot of work where you don't need to know a lot.

Wear funny hat, lean on spade, drink coffee & complain?  I think that the ISO standard for builders!

That's the supervisor! He doesn't need training, he is a Manager!

Maybe, but this guy has no motivation to even try. You might even say that he has motivation to do it as half-assed as he can get away with.

And would you want your house repaired by a drunken car thief in the first place?
How is he going to get himself and his tools there? Supplies?
Would you want him in your house even if he was a Master Builder?
"Elephant No, sunshine!" would be my reply.

Precisely what I would say 
|
|
|
|

He's very good at fishing. I'd even go to as far as to say he was a Master Baiter.

He hosts discussions too: a Mass Debater as well.

The unpaid work carried out by miscreants in the UK, also called community service, usually amounts to litter picking.

Pratt by Pratt by nature! I know a guy called Keith Pratt, poor so & so 
|
|
|
|
|
That reminds me of a bloke I worked with who said the storeman at a company he worked at was called Alan Pratt. When he signed for deliveries he'd scribble his signature "A Pratt". In an engineering company that no doubt got around like wildfire. Another poor so & so.

A company I used to work for had a customer contact called Paul Mycock. The girls would be very, very careful when they called him. (And usually have a five minute giggle session before hand to get it out of the way)

I was told of a guy called Mr 'Ferku' (by my Uncle) I'm guessing at spelling!
|
|
|
|

He should be glad he wasn't a namesake of this guy[^]!

Apparently, he's been signed for the next season of Misfits[^], with the power to make cars fly.

"driving with excess alcohol in August"
Excess alcohol in say September would have been a lesser violation, or what did they try to say there?

You should get it but not too quickly I think.

Right answer, but...
Surely Spain would be E?
What would a Spaniard say if he agreed with you?

A 'Bob' was a Shilling, no longer used, so 'Old'.
