      US gun crime could support it's own Forum. Threads for school shootings, religious building takeovers, drive by shootings, toddlers shooting parents.....

      We could call it the Freedom Forum.

        Some flights to and from the U.S. were cancelled on Wednesday even after AT&T and Verizon scaled back the rollout of high-speed wireless service that could interfere with aircraft technology that measures altitude.

            Man drove without licence for more than 70 years

            A man stopped by police told officers he had been driving with no licence or insurance for more than 70 years.


            While on patrol, police pulled over the man near Tesco Extra, in Bulwell, Nottingham, on Wednesday evening.

            Officers said the driver - born in 1938 - told them he had been driving with no licence or insurance since he was 12 and had never been stopped by police.

            On Facebook, the Bulwell, Rise Park and Highbury Vale Police team said thankfully he had never had a crash.

            The team added: "Thankfully he had never had an accident, caused anyone an injury, and never made anyone lose out financially, by hitting them whilst uninsured!

            "Due to the increased number of ANPR cameras in Nottingham, even on the small trips, you are likely to hit a camera, so make sure your documents are in order... because it will catch up with you... one day."

              You'd think they would have mentioned the reason for pulling him over this time.

            "Any last requests"?

            So there's that.

                There was a riot at a Golden Corral when they ran out of steak at the buffet.

                    Czech millionaire investigated over alleged 417km/h motorway drive in Germany

                    Germany is famous for having no speed limits on stretches of its motorways, but a Czech millionaire appearing to do 417km/h (260 mph) may have been testing the limit of what's tolerable.
