Drunk in Charge |
|
Despite his conviction for drunk driving Council "Leader"
Roger Blackmore is still the driving force of Leicester City Council |
Would
you fly on a plane with a drunk pilot? Stay with me here...isn't a city like an
aeroplane? OK, no wings and it doesn't fly - but, full of people on a trip (some
say).
Perhaps it's time to apply air
industry standards to the people who pilot our cities - and the country - and give
Roger his cards. Alcohol testing before voting might help - perhaps then we won't
all be flying by the seat of our pants. |
GO FASTER
Drive the car of your dreams
around a racing circuit at Mallory Park or be a rally driver for the day at Donington Park.
Or then again, if you think you're a really handy driver, you could have a
go at another kind of racing.... |

Slot Car Racing
2004 1/24
Nationals |
Organised slot car racing has come a long
way since its humble beginnings
using home set equipment in the sixties. Modern
cars can lap a typical 30 meter club track in 5
seconds. In those 5 seconds the driver has to brake
and drive round 6 or more corners. The faster
cars are capable of 60 mph on the straights. (that's actual
speed not scale speed) and have covered over 400 miles in 24 hours. |
Get racing at
the
British Slot Car Racing
2004 1/24 Nationals
on 3/4 July
at The Enderby
Leisure Centre, Mill Lane, Enderby, Leicester |

Leicester
Mockery
Pissed off at other people's bad parking? We are too. Take a
look at these pics of a Leicester Mercury van - parked on zig-zag lines forcing a lorry to
overtake at a pedestrian crossing - caught by our roving reporter:
Take a pic with your phone or digi cam of bad
parking and email it to us at weirdleicester and we'll show it on our NEW bad parking page - along with the Mercury, City Council, Securicor and other bad drivers
that we've caught on camera... |

Doggy Dog Dogging
|
.If you fancy sex with a stranger in a car park, then you're
in luck, because you're not alone in Leicester.
Dogging had a sleazy start in the early Seventies when
it was first used to describe men who spied on couples having sex outdoors. These men
would 'dog' the couples' every move in an effort to watch them.
When the swinging scene
discovered that open-air sex has its own special thrill they began meeting in car-parks,
and the doggers found a new and rich supply of voyeuristic fun. The doggers soon realised
that these couples were actively encouraging them to watch, even performing for them, and
sometimes allowing them to join in.
Now it's just a free for all
and watching or shagging... it's all dogging.
Places to look for - or keep away from,
depending on how you look at it - are listed in the Swinging Heaven Dogging Directory |
