Train buff in locomotive joyride
A 19-year-old train buff from Rawmarsh has been sentenced to 200 hours community service after going joyriding in a 49-tonne locomotive.
Daniel Matthews sneaked into sidings at Sheffield's Tinsley marshalling yard in May. He started the engine and drove it up and down for 40 minutes.
Rotherham Magistrates heard he was such an expert he knew how to change points so the train could switch tracks.
Matthews even left it switched off and safely parked before cycling away.
'Act of stupidity'
He was identified after police released CCTV footage of him and another man on BMX bikes in the area.
Inspector David Boldison of British Transport Police said it was an act of stupidity.
"Potentially it was very dangerous," he said.
"If he'd managed to get himself on to the main line, where there were passenger trains, then potentially that could have had bad consequences".
A bit naughty; but I reckon the lad knew what he was doing, where the (other) trains would be and wasn't really endangering anyone.
The sad thing is he probably would have made a good train driver but I doubt he will ever get the job now because of the criminal record :(

MY : Malaysian civil servant finds DIY solution to high fish prices…

Too pricey? Well, catch them yourself
KOTA KINABALU: The higher cost of living has prompted a Kota Kinabalu City Hall worker to literally take things into his hands.
For the past few months, Ismail Yusof, 51, has been regularly hanging around monsoon drains near the downtown area.
“Fish is getting so expensive now, so I might as well catch my own,” said Ismail, who was spotted casting his rambat or circular net into a monsoon drain near Centre Point shopping centre here yesterday.
He said he could usually catch about 10kg of fish, mainly tilapia for about four hours' work.
“The best part is that it's all free and I can get some exercise as well,” said the father of four, who is a supervisor at City Hall’s engineering section.
Ismail said he usually went fishing on weekends “or when I have nothing to do at home”.
The best time, he said, was when the tide was coming in as the fish would be swept into the monsoon drains.
His other favourite fishing spots included another monsoon drain near Sadong Jaya and the seaside near Sutera Harbour.
Must be amusing though for the Ah Bengs/Ah Lians (see other threads) to watch this old Malay chap with a net fishing the drain near the shopping centre! This is a decent amount of fish though; not bad for free! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilapia
I wonder if it is possible here, but I'm not sure if dredging the mudflats of the Orwell, Deben and Stour is going to be much good for catching anything other than eels and dysentry though...

UK : East : Colchester cockerel locked down under noise laws… Looks like the avian equivalent of Guantanamo!
He's gonna be doing bird for a bit, and his owners will be up before the beak...
A loud-mouthed rooster has become a jailhouse cock, after it was the first live creature to be seized by noise pollution chiefs.
Neighbours were cock-a-hoop as police swooped down to seize the crowing cockerel whose constant squawking in a suburban back garden caused them round-the-clock disturbance for months.
Colchester Council environmental control officers, who organised the raid on Friday with help from the RSPCA, will now seek a court order to prevent the jailbird ever coming home to Plume Avenue, Shrub End.
His owners, Michael and Theresa Fanders, had failed to respond to letters and a statutory noise abatement notice.
The council went to court on Friday to get a warrant to seize the bird.
Mr and Mrs Fanders refused to speak to the Evening Gazette.
