Even the best driver does it

A few weeks ago I wrote about a photo below, where someone drives away from a gas station with the gas pump still in the car.

Well a few days ago it happened again.

This was in a much different situation. The driver is one of the best in the world, and the occasion was the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Singapore. Of course the gas pump and hose look a lot different to the ones we see in the gas station but the mistake was made at high speed and injured a mechanic. Fortunately he is now recovering.

Spurs in Europe again

The top football club competition in Europe is the European Champions League, which was won last season by Manchester United, who beat Chelsea in the final.

However there is also another European football competition, the UEFA Cup. The clubs in the UEFA Cup are of an extremely high standard, but they are not quite as good as the elite clubs that can enter the Champions League.

My favourite team, Tottenham Hotspur (nickname Spurs) is now in the UEFA for the fourth time. Last week the 1st round matches were played. Spurs played at home against Wisla Krakow (Poland) in the 1st leg. Spurs have had a terrible start to this season, played 4, lost 3, drawn 1, but at last they had a victory 2-1 against Wisla. The scorers were Bentley and Bent, and here is Bent’s goal.
