Turf Side Up TURF SIDE UP! The not so serious side of the industry Son of Moglet? The tragic bus?
UNDER this replica London bus is a ride-on mower. At this point you might be asking yourself why, but its creation gave much pleasure to seventy-seven year old Derek Jakeway.

The body of the bus, which is made mostly from wood, proudly displays the London Transport sign.
A CAT which ran on to the pitch during Liverpool's Premier League home game against Spurs has attracted 30,000 followers on the internet.
The grey and white tabby wandered across the turf before being scooped up by a steward.
Within minutes, the cat was an internet sensation, with at least three spoof Twitter accounts claiming to be the Premier League’s new star.
Twitter account @AnfieldCat claims to be the “official twitter of me, the Anfield Cat”, and has more than
25,000 followers. Lagging behind in the Twitter stakes are @liverpoolfccat, which claims they are the “first, the original Kop Cat”, and has more than 4,000 fans. and @CatAnfield, which has almost 3,000 followers.
Staff, who have named the cat Sam, reckon it bears a ‘striking’ resemblance to Moglet, who was adopted by the groundstaff back in the 80s and became something of an unofficial mascot.
Perhaps Sam is a good omen for the Carling Cup Final, the Reds first final for a number of years.
Killjoy was ’ere!
IT was definitely a case of ‘off with their heads’ for killjoy council workers who destroyed dozens of
snowmen and igloos built by children in Homefield Recreation Ground in Chiswick, West London.
When horrified passers-by complained, the men claimed they were protecting the grass.
The ice sculptures were rapidly melting in the bright sunlight, but the groundstaff were being employed to kick them down. One had a saw and was sawing their heads off.
A Hounslow Council spokesman apologised to residents and suggested that the two workers - employed by its contractor to keep the park clean - might be getting a frosty reception the next time they see their bosses.

He stressed that it was not council policy to destroy snowmen, adding: “Regretfully - and without valid reasons - two workers employed by our contractor decided themselves that this bizarre course of action was necessary.”
“It is certainly not in their job description to go knocking snowmen down. We like snowmen.”
“They should be sticking to their task of keeping the park clean, not destroying snowmen.”
“We’re very sorry, and have instructed all site staff to use their common sense and let people enjoy the snow in our parks. Our contractor has confirmed that the two men were doing this and they are dealing with the matter now.”
AS mowing patterns go, this is pretty impressive.
It was served up by the groundstaff at the Melbourne Cricket Ground for the
Twenty20 game between Australia and India.
It must have got the patriotic juices flowing, as Australia won by 65 runs.
Scoring an own goal ...
THIS chap handcuffed himself to the goal at Goodison during the Everton v Man City game.
It took officials a good few minutes to release him using bolt cutters. Perhaps they should have left him there - Joe Hart could have done with some help, as City lost 1-0.
Apparently, he was protesting about the way RyanAir treat their staff - no concern for the passengers then!
The specially-converted lawnmower is not licensed to be driven on the roads (there’s a surprise!).
We are still trying to work out which make of ride-on mower
©Daily Mail was used. Any ideas?
The bus took four years to build and cost over £2,000. At this point you will definitely be asking yourself, why!
Mow Australia Fair!
