Jamal Miah, 38, of no fixed abode, must pay £100 compensation for damaging two panes of glass in the front door, and two panes of glass to the right-hand side of the door at Pickering Road Police Station in west Hull. A hammer and rock were ordered to be forfeited and destroyed.
we're really going to destroy a hammer and a rock ?

These rocks are dangerous things to leave lying about.
There must be some jokes in there about being under the hammer, or between a rock and the wall, etc.

I remember Izal toilet paper. My grandmother always had it.
I think some types of baking sheet or parchment baking paper might be a good substitute.

A world championship event held in the North-east almost hit the skids this week … because organisers couldn’t find the correct toilet paper.
Skids. TP.

http://www.eadt.co.uk/news/feisty_swan_annihilates_eight_model_boats_on_needham_lake_queen_asked_to_sort_the_fowl_tempered_bird_out_1_4625724
One model boat club member who had two of his boats attacked has taken to writing to the Queen in a bid to get the “menace” moved on.
Dean Cable, 23, from Wickham Skeith, said he is afraid to put his boats in the water if the swan is about.
He said: “I wrote to the Queen telling her the swan is a menace and I would like him to be moved on if possible.
“I said usually I like swans, but this one was attacking our boats and I would like to be able to boat in peace.
“I told her the geese have no problem with us, the ducks seem to enjoy it and the swans we used to have at the lake were not a problem. One duck even hopped onto a barge for a ride.
“It is just this swan that is a problem and I want to see him moved elsewhere. I had one of my boats valued a month ago and I can tell you I don’t want that swan in the water at the same time as my boat.”
wrote a letter to the Queen
