Happy birthday to you

This tosh from Daft:

"50 years of motorways: special birthday celebrated with opening of £174 million M6 extension"


Presumably plans are well advanced to celebrate the 150th anniversary of car sickness in 2015?

Minister dibbed and dobbed

The railways green credentials were sadly lacking this afternoon when Transport Minister Geoff Hoon presented Cub Scouts with their new safety badge at St Pancras International.

The choice of an EMT HST as a backdrop was rather unfortunate as the VP185 engine produced a veritable smokescreen on departure which masked Hoon from the cameras and probably shortened the lives of the poor Scouts!

The Fact Compiler hopes that Hoon complied with the law and was CRB checked before he consorted with minors?
