    I had a feeling that the situation of a lot of female refugees with kids, being housed with British families, would end in tears for many.

    For one reason or another............. 

    Surpose that if a male imagines hes getting a 19 year old and he ends up with a overweight 55 year old it could have something to do with it

    A Ukrainian refugee rehomed under a government scheme has claimed she and her teenage son were left homeless after being manipulated by their hosts.

    The woman, 45, who fled Bucha, north of Kyiv, came to north-east England on 16 April but said she was asked for money and told to leave after three weeks.

    "I am fleeing the war and all of a sudden I am on the street," she said.

    The government said Homes for Ukraine had helped more than 33,000 people, with very few unsuccessful cases.

    The mother and her 13-year-old son - whose identities are being protected - are being helped by a Sunderland-based charity and are in temporary accommodation while waiting to be matched with a new family.

    She told BBC Look North she thought her hosts would be kind and caring, but within weeks she "did not feel safe or secure".

    "Our host approached us and said 'I need money'," she said.

    She said the family told her: "We spent so much money on you - look how expensive you are, look how much you have cost us - I want money."

    The hosts set up an online fundraising page purported to be for the benefit of the exiled mum and son - which raised more than £850 - although the woman says she never saw any of the money.

    She added: "All of a sudden I am fleeing the war and all of a sudden I am on the street."

  4. Just checked up on the lyrics and guess what for the last forty years I thought chicks were chips .

    WHAT A PLONKER as del boy whould have said.

    "That ain't workin', that's the way you do it
    Get your money for nothin', get your chicks for free
    We got to install microwave ovens, custom kitchen deliveries
    We got to move these refrigerators, we gotta move these color TVs"

    Mind you "We will rock you does also sound like freddie is kicking a cat all over the place" not a can" worthy of a west ham player

    And that devil has a sideboard in bohemian rhapsody as well

    Yes,  at least with the solid blocks of steel the Royal Mint historically used as dies, and to the degree shown on your coin. As to why, we shall never know without evidence. But people certainly do strange things to coins, for fun, as test- pieces, to re-purpose, to defraud , as art-work and as puzzles and many others.

    And the need to restore a coin bent or damaged due to agricultural activity often presents,  in practice many detector found coins benefit from careful conservation to be acceptable to collectors.

    Few coins found with a detector are worth much more than scrap value - a few hoards over the year are always mind blowingly brilliant - but most single coins are in pretty dire straights

  6. Former world darts champion Ted Hankey has been jailed for two years for a sexual assault caught on camera.

    Hankey, 54, from Berry Hill, Stoke-on-Trent, pinned down the young woman and, with an "air of entitlement", sexually assaulted her, Chester Crown Court heard.

    He pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing to the attack on 10 September in Crewe.

    The darts player, nicknamed The Count, was the BDO world champion in 2000 and 2009.

    The court was previously told the victim was aged between 16 and 18.

    Hankey, a father-of-three, who had shown "more self-pity than remorse", dabbed away tears with a tissue as he was sentenced.
