:cwm23: ... Beyond a "shadow" of doubt, someone in his one-time position should've known better than daring to play "fast 'n' loose" with the long arm of the law!

Three time over the limit, :icon_rolleyes: ... surely if he'd wanted to *give up anything at all for the season of Lent, then it ought to've been alcohol :Wine:, so ... :anerikke: ... *that's no excuse.


Banned from driving for 2 years and ordered to carry out "roughly"eighty hours of Community Service, he got off pretty lightly, IMO ... considering the serious nature of the offence. :angry:
