A 47-YEAR-OLD MAN who plied his 14-year-old victim with alcohol as part of his “calculated plan” to have sex with her, has been jailed. Manchester Crown Court heard that in June 2008 the girl went missing and was befriended by Comrie, from Blackley. In July, the predator took his victim back to his home and “manipulated” her into having sex with him. The court sentenced Comrie to two and half years and ordered him to sign the sex offenders’ register.

Asif Arif was suspended just months after Buglawton Hall received a damning report from inspectors, who found a number of failures, including racist bullying.

The BMW 320i cut out under a railway bridge on Crossley Road, near the McVitie's factory in Heaton Chapel, Stockport, at 8am.

Mark, as it was a BMW the chances are the water may have not entered the vehicle.On balance if my car hadn't let any water in I might wait a while too.Although it's unlikeley as I drive a 1.0 VW polo on an N plate.If I did the same thing then I dont have to go through the whole laborious insurance process.Makes sense to me.Silly boy
"The owner had to wait for the 2ft-deep water to subside" = Trapped? WTF?? Just open the bloody door, step into the water, and hey presto, your no longer trapped! What is the world coming to?What a fool!Oh, sorry, just read, he was in a BMW. No surprise then, god forbid a BMW driver would get their trousers wet!
