PRIDE comes before the fall.
A US pharmacy thief, Bonnie
Usher, was busted after her getaway
vehicle’s vanity number
plates caught the attention of
passing motorists.
The number plate B-USHER
actually belonged to the thief, and
led police straight to her house.
Bonnie has subsequentially
been arrested, and is being held
in gaol on $60,000 bail.
AGE is no barrier.
A 75-year old pensioner, Dickie
Borthworth, from Weymount in
the UK has been dubbed Britain’s
oldest soccer player.
‘The oldest winger in town’, has
clocked an impressive 63 years on
the field, having played his very
first game in 1947.
“I have never been sent off,”
said Borthwick.
“I am a firm but fair player
and I just love to get out there for
90 minutes as often as I can.
“I have lost a bit of speed, but
my thoughts are quick and that
really counts,” he added.
In addition to his own matches,
Borthworth is also often spotted
down at his local club Weymouth,
helping out the team as the Kit Man.
“He often joins in with us at
training,” said Weymouth
manager, Ian Hutchinson.
“If I could I would love to play
him,” he added.
VENDING machines with service.
A Japanese vending machine
operator has created a new model
which is able to recognise users.
This special skill allows the
machine’s sensors to profile thirsty
customers by age and gender, in
order to provide them with sugary
soda selections.
As an added bonus, the
machine is also able to vary its
selection menu based on the
outside temperature.
“We thought it would make it a
lot more fun for the customers to
have this kind of interaction with
our machines, that it would
improve the whole buying
experience,” said a company
spokesperson.
