: Iranian "asylum seeker" Mohammad Alizade, 32, has been jailed for 10 months for pulling his pants down and dragging an 18-year-old stranger into a bush in the quiet market town of Todmorden.

• Mohammad Alizade, 32, residing in Fern Street, Bradford, approached an 18-year-old in Todmorden.

• Whilst high on cocaine, he tried to pull the teenager into nearby bushes, then pulled down his own shorts and demanded a sex act.

• He was found guilty of sexual assault and exposure.

• Alizade was also sentenced for shoplifting, assaulting a shop security guard by trying to bite him, and possession of a knife.

• The offences were committed while he was already subject to a suspended prison sentence and a community order.

• Alizade had been committing offences between 2021 and 2026. He was given a 22-month suspended prison sentence for supplying Class A drugs in 2024, and was made subject of a community order later that year.

• Judge Ahmed Nadim said Alizade was being sentenced for offences committed on three separate occasions between December 2025 and June this year.

I bought some tape from Temu to deter the pigeons.  I put it on my washing line and fences and it has stopped them congregating in groups..  I see the odd one, but they are avoiding this shiny, noisy tape  :upvote:

30% chance of rain at 9pm here on my weather app. Of course that's 70% chance there won't be. 40% is highest chance during the next week

Something reminded me that I hadn't seen anything about the trial of the little shit (there were 3 but only one got charged) who set fire to Dunelm in Northampton. It was over a year ago and there is still no start on the rebuilding work,

Well it seems the case was dropped. Poor little chap has ADHD

This little arse and his mates are well know vandals. My neighbour told me it was this group that put a stone through his front door glass. He showed the school the CCTV and naturally they did nothing.

That reply is what I expected. It's not easy to report leaks like that and that's why they often leak for a long time as water companies don't  have leak spotters out there looking. If one of their employee spots it while out and about I would hope that they would log it. 

You can report leaks on the Anglian water website and I've done that in the past and there was a prompt check and fix. I did have trouble reporting a hydrant with no obvious address. I tried twice and nothing happened so I gave up. It has now been fixed but was probably leaking for over a year.
