QUESTION: who makes the stuff the Chinese buy? Do they import it? ‘Made In China’ continues to be a sign of poor quality. It lacks aspiration and success. Who, for instance, made the road barrier in Jinhua City? When one segment fell, it triggered a 1.5-kilometre long strip of barrier to fall like dominoes.
After this, get a load of those imported pavements:

Says Mr Hampton:
“He was flung from the car like a rag doll and it is amazing no-one was more badly hurt. A woman got out of the car and they were hugging each other. It was like they couldn’t believe they were still alive.”
Or maybe they were simply delighted that the Peugeot’s new anti-car jacking Button had deployed so effectively…

Driver fires moving car tyre through BP sign
ALTERNATIVE Olympic Sport of the day: Are you the crack shot who fired one of your car tyres through the centre of the BP service station logo on the A1 southbound at North Muskham in Nottinghamshire? The wheel bounced along the carriageway before smashing a hole through the bullseye of the BP station’s free-standing Helios (Greek sun god) sign.
Spectator James Kemp, explains:
“A vehicle coming down the A1 at speed lost one of its tyres that then bounced at speed and height down the A1 towards our site. It hit the grass verge in front of our forecourt and bounced straight through our pole sign destroying the BP Helios.”
“Luckily no one was injured but judging by the speed of the tyre on CCTV I have no doubt that it could have been fatal if someone had been in its path. It couldn’t be found after so we presume it’s still on its journey. Nobody came forward and accepted responsibility.”

Lil Bub is the prototype toothless cat of your dreams (photos)
LIL BUB is “a real animal. The most amazing creature on the planet.” So says the blurb. Lil Bub is “one of nature’s happy accidents”..
Bub is a “perma-kitten”, which means she will stay kitten sized and maintain kitten-like features her entire life. She is also a dwarf, which means her limbs are disproportionately small relative to the rest of her body. She has very short, stubby legs and a weird, long, serpent-like body. Her lower jaw is very short compared to her upper jaw, and her teeth never grew in (yes, that’s right, she’s toothless!), which is why her tongue is usually hanging out. Additionally, BUB is a polydactyl cat, meaning she has extra toes, and in her case, one extra toe on all of her four paws. Her front paws each have two opposable thumbs. And then of course there are her huge, bulging, wonder-filled green eyes.

Oxford thief trapped by ‘pull’ door he tried to push
THE state of Britain’s criminal classes is lamentable. If we’re not reading about Latvian muggers and Russian mafia, it’s homegrown idiots. Take James Allan, 28, who on March 2 2012 held up the Martin McColl newsagents on Northcourt Road, Abingdon.
Allan, wearing a balaclava, threatened shop worker Angela Croke with a fake gun. She handed him £134.98. He fled. Or at least he would have done had he been able to get out of the shop. He got as far as the door. He pushed and he pushed and he pushed. But the thing would not budge. In frustration he ripped off his balaclava. He kicked at the door. He fell to the ground. And then Ms Croke pulled the door for him.

Wisely, her parents did not fiddle with the pencil. They called 999. After an operation lasting four hours at Frenchay Hospital in Bristol, Wren is recovered.
