That'll learn him....

Post by Gob »

Fuck me pink, got away Scott free
A teenager who crashed his father's £100,000 car into a house has been given a suspended sentence and had his pocket money stopped.

Harry Bishop, 19, from Birmingham made a "spur of the moment" decision to take the Audi R8 after a drunken night out, the city's crown court heard.

Unable to handle the car, he smashed it into an elderly couple's home, shifting part of the house off its foundations.

Bishop admitted aggravated vehicle taking and driving while drunk.

He also pleaded guilty to driving without insurance and was given a two-and-a-half year driving ban.

Birmingham Crown Court heard he had been punished at home - having his pocket money stopped and being made to do "extra chores". He was also banned from a holiday abroad with friends.

The crash, on 2 May, happened just 100m from Bishop's home in Netherstone Grove in Sutton Coldfield.

The owners of the house he crashed into, Janet and Harold Perry, both in their 70s, have since spent £25,000 on rebuilding their porch.

Bishop was described to the court as "quiet, thoughtful and hard-working".

In mitigation, Naomi Gilchrist told the court he walked home after the crash to explain himself to his father.
“If you trust in yourself, and believe in your dreams, and follow your star. . . you'll still get beaten by people who spent their time working hard and learning things and weren't so lazy.”

19 years old? Pocket money? Skiving layabout
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts
