Match date: Saturday 4 October 2014 Final score: Sunderland AFC 3 – 1 Stoke City Reflection… Sunderland finally managed to secure their illusive first win of the season, and bring to an end a frustrating run of five draws and one defeat thus far in the 2014-15 season.

A study by Kwik Fit has found that almost half of drivers in the UK (45% to be exact) significantly misjudge safe stopping distances. Worryingly, such misjudgements dramatically increase the risk of serious collisions, injury, or even death. Such is the underestimation, the study found that only one in 10 drivers managed to assess the […]
While browsing the internet, I happened to stumble upon this little beauty! I’m going out on a limb here (!), but my guess is that the person responsible for ‘modifying’ the road sign was a ‘Queen’ fan!? 🙂 Should you stumble upon any amusing driving related images, please feel free to share them in the […]

Match date: Tuesday 23 September 2014 Final Score: Sunderland AFC 1 – 2 Stoke City Reflection… Ahh, the romance of a cup run, eh? Can’t beat it. A Tuesday night fixture under the flood-lights at the mighty Stadium of Light. Sadly, my beloved club crashed out of the very competition which we set alight last season, […]
Shocking new statistics have shown that women now make up 17 per-cent of drink-driving convictions in the UK, which worryingly is double the figure of that of only 15 years ago.
