Doesn't do a lot for me TBH, but if it helps you then I'll take that as my contribution towards care in the community.

You've still got a pension, it's just in a bit of a state.

Ex-policeman kills wife and child in Melton Mowbray

Fortunately, events like this are all too rare here.

It only happened a few streets from where I live and their daughter is in the panto that my daughter is currently in. Having said that, I don't know the family at all, but it's one of those stories that sounds like it should happen a million miles from here, not on your doorstep.

Probably better if it didn't happen at all

Man wins £37m fruit machine jackpot... but is offered £60 and a free meal instead

A gambler who thought he had won £37million on a fruit machine has been offered a free meal and £60 instead, after casino bosses said the jackpot was due to a ‘software error’.Behar Merlaku, 26, played the winning machine at a casino in Bregenz, Austria.Despite only getting four of the slot machine's five required matches, Mr Merlaku was told he had won the massive jackpot complete with a winning bell and flashing screen.However when he went to claim his prize, the Swiss player was instead offered the money and meal by casino bosses after they refused to pay out.Now the disgruntled 26-year-old is to launch a lawsuit in Austria next month to force the casino to honour the 'win', which Mr Merlaku's lawyers says he is entitled to because of the what machine said.The civil action, thought to be the biggest claim of its kind anywhere in the world, is being keenly watched by gaming operators everywhere.The incident happened in a Casinos Austria AG establishment at Bregenz, which is run by a company which also has UK outlets, on March 26 this year.When Mr Merlaku made his claim the operators of the casino immediately blamed a glitch in the machine.When he snubbed the paltry offer of compensation he was banned from the casino. Lawyers for the plaintiff say the company has passed the buck to the fruit machine manufacturer and refuse to take any responsibility for the error.
