News about David Parker

Thomas White, 28, was sentenced to prison for stealing a cellphone in 2012. It was not his first offence for stealing, and few would argue that a custodial sentence was fully justified, even though there was no weaponry or violence used. Despite this, the now 40-year-father of one from Bury in Greater Manchester remains in prison, with no intention of being released. And now a guy who mistakenly grabbed a cellphone from a passer-by while inebriated, has watched as rapists and violent criminals come and go...

Since being killed on his way to work by a reckless driver, a cyclist's heartbroken family has paid tribute to him. Stuart Simons was killed while riding his bike at 5.30 a.m. on October 7, 2022, David Parker, 67, just two miles from his house on the A1077. When the tragedy occurred, the father-of-two commuted 17 miles to Immingham from his home in South Ferriby every workday and had been wearing reflective gear and a safety helmet, as well as lights fitted to his bike's front and back. But Ford Kuga drvier Parker claimed to not have seen the rider and crashed into the bike's back. The driver had 24 seconds to see the cyclist before the crash, according to a police reconstruction. Parker was banned from driving for more than six years after being jailed for 21 months.

As he went from Manchester to Goa, David Parker, 62, discovered silver electrical tape covering his Boeing 747's wings.

When an airplane passenger noticed silver electrical tape (left) stuck to the plane's wing, he had a surprise 30,000 feet in the air. David Parker (right, with fiancee Sasha, 27), was flying from Manchester to Goa on a Boeing 787 when he noticed the strange feature out the window. The stunned holidaymaker's 'gaffer tape', which had been plastered all over the wing, began to peel off as the journey continued.

During the Covid period, families who have lived modest holiday homes for generations have been hit with eye-watering land tax bills. In the case of one owner, whose grandmother bought property for about $400 in 1960 after winning the opportunity to do so in a lottery, the tax bill will increase by 60% over a year. Many owners of modestly inherited holiday homes were unaware of how high prices went during the pandemic, according to real estate agent Sharon Deadman (inset), who sold houses before they even reached the internet.

A property owner has bemoaned a massive tax increase on her coastal escape, but not everyone was sympathetic, with others accusing her of being a wealthy 'whisperder.' Michelle Whitehead told Daily Mail Australia that she had received 'a lot of responses' to her plea on social media urging other holiday home owners not to oppose major increases in the amount of land tax they'll have to pay on their coastal homes. 'A lot of people weren't aware of it and have now understood,' Ms Whitehead said.

Navy divers (pictured lower right) waited nearby to retrieve the spaceship, which crashed down around 5.40 GMT with a parachute-assisted landing (bottom left) off the coast of Baja California's coast. On November 16, the capsule blasted off from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida as part of Nasa's Space Launch System (SLS) rocket, ushering in a new era of lunar exploration in which humans could return to the moon. It made history by traveling 270,000 miles beyond the Earth, the furthest any spacecraft designed to carry humans has gone. Around 5 p.m. GMT today, Orion successfully detached from its service module (pictured top) in preparation for its return. It then entered its return journey, heading back to Earth at just under 25,000 mph.

The incident, which occurred in Somerset in March and has been condemned by many within the game of hunting, is being investigated by police. A group of men from the Seavington Hunt are seen being fired from one of their quad bikes in the video, which was shot by a public servant and broadcast to ITV News. The hounds are held back while an animal - rumored to be a fox - is spotted, and the hunt begins. From the video, it is not clear if the animal survived.

The US space agency has revealed a list of items it will carry on the SLS rocket's journey to the Earth's first natural satellite ahead of its launch of Artemis I. They include 245 silver Snoopy pins (bottom right), a Shaun the Sheep mascot (left), LEGO mini-figures (top right), and 567 American flags. The rocket (inset), which is the most powerful ever built, is scheduled to launch from Florida's Kennedy Space Center on August 29.
