Paris Hilton’s other offences

There were plenty of motoring transgressions for which the LA court could have had the woman banged up – not all of them, it has to be said, illegal in the strict sense

The affluent nonentity Paris Hilton has been sentenced to 45 days in prison for driving offences – and also, maybe, for having the same name as a hotel and thus influencing thousands of thick chav parents to call their offspring Droitwich Radisson or Eaglescliffe Holiday Inn.

There were plenty of motoring transgressions for which the LA court could have had the woman banged up – not all of them, it has to be said, illegal in the strict sense. Driving a car while in possession of a bowl of oxtail soup between the ears, for example. Driving a car while wearing a profoundly irritating expression midway between arrogance and superciliousness. Driving a car after having wilfully met – and liked – a whole bunch of similarly annoying celebrities, including Lindsay Lohan. Alighting from a car and thrusting no fewer than two apparently acrylic breasts in the direction of 356 press photographers, all of them shouting, “Over here, Paris, love!”, while wearing a profoundly irritating expression midway between arrogance and superciliousness.

The court decided instead to go for driving a car while pissed and not having a valid driving licence. But you suspect, given the severity of the sentence, those other offences were taken into consideration.

I don't know, do you think if you owned Travel Lodge (as Paris' parents own the Hilton hotel chain) it would be acceptable?

But there isn't a Travel Lodge in Paris... she might have ended up being called Illminster, or Taunton Dean...

I think Spaghetti Junction has a celebrity ring about it!

The "Sir Garfield Sobers" roundabout was named after Sir Garfield Sobers not visa versa. It's in Barbados - about 5 miles up the road from me for what's worth.

It's also slightly less solubrious since the the powers that be decided to remove the statue of Sir Gary from the middle of the roundabout and relocate it to the new Kensington Oval Cricket Ground - well to be precise it's the old cricket ground but revamped.

The roundabout is still the same.

The exits are being reworked as part of a new government policy to introduce flyovers to the island.

I could talk about the class action against the government about to take place now the contractor has admitted how dangerous the old road was but it's pretty tedious...

Pray tell, why did you feel the need to explain that to us?
 
Posh and Becks named their son "Brooklyn" after the place where he was conceived. Anyone out there called "Ford Escort"?
