Non-Football Story Of The Day
'Irish police have solved the mystery of a Polish recidivist who clocked up 50 traffic offences on different addresses and who was never caught, after one officer noticed his name meant driving licence in Polish. An internal police memo cited by Irish papers on Thursday said officers taking details of Polish traffic offenders had been mistakenly using "Prawo Jazdy," printed in the top right corner of the driving licence, as the holder's name.
"Prawo Jazdy is actually the Polish for driving licence and not the first and surname on the licence," the police memo dated June 2007 said. "It is quite embarrassing to see the system has created Prawo Jazdy as a person with over 50 identities." A police spokesman declined to comment on the reports' - Reuters.

Personally I'm not convinced that we need to spend x million training our police to speak Polish in case they end up registering some bloke as Library Card in the future. Indeed if we did the Daily Fail would probably pop a bollock in excitement, so something of a non-story that I would summarise as "VERY FEW IRISH POLICE CAN SPEAK FLUENT POLISH SHOCKER".
Well, i thought it was funny.
