Ah, Corby!



We spotted this hilarious story at the online ET site: -

Teach ASBO lad a lesson

Published Date: 19 July 2010

"A shameless Corby teenager was caught red-handed breaching his ASBO by a magistrate within seconds of leaving court......"


Oh, if only, if only. If only this worthwhile member of Corby society had a tattoo on the exposed forearm which read, "Mum, Dad, 'Gers", this would have been perfect!
.
On the subject of that fair Borough, work is due to start today on a £3 million project to turn the road which runs through the middle of their much vaunted shopping utopia into....another road which runs through the middle of their much vaunted shopping utopia. In this startling re-imagining, George Street will be turned from a road with paths either side into a path area with a road in the middle.
.
Traffic will be disrupted for several months, and the town centre taxi rank will have to move a matter of metres from it's present location, which may cause severe unrest as the locals aren't used to having to physically move themselves more than is absolutely necessary between scheduled appointments at the benefit office and the local off-licence.
.
Hasn't the news emanating from Corby in recent months centered upon the fact that the funds have dried up? It seems they've still got the readies to build a road that everyone uses and a football ground almost no-one uses, twice over. Recession? What recession?
