UK MAN PULLS 14 CARS-BREAK WORLD RECORD

A UK man has smashed the world record for 'most cars pulled by one man' by dragging 14 cars over a distance of 18 feet and two inches. Simon Plant, 42, of Findern, South Derbyshire, pulled a rope attached to 14 Ford Fiestas, weighing 20 tonnes combined, at Motorpoint in Derby, earlier this week. He pulled the cars over a distance of 18 feet and two inches, breaking the previous record of pulling 12 cars over 15 feet, 'derbytelegraph.co.uk' reported. Plant said this was his third attempt at the world record. "I wasn't going to give up. We all have goals in life and if you keep pushing and pushing you'll get there. It was a tough challenge but thankfully it was a case of third time lucky," Plant said. Plant previously held a world record 11 years ago when he pulled a 30-tonne truck a distance of 100 feet.

"We can only suggest to MCI to take note of the prevailing atmosphere in the medical profession and identify such black sheep as are responsible for creating an impression in the public mind that they are being milked by greedy doctors. "Government should take steps to protect patients from unscrupulous medical practitioners," the East Delhi District Consumer Forum had said while directing a city-based clinic to pay...

MANMOHAN NEEDS SONIA BACKUP...?

Scoffing at Congress' assertion that Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and party president Sonia Gandhi shared a "unique" relationship, BJP today said though Singh was technically at the helm, the real power rests in the hands of Gandhi. "Andhra Pradesh may not have power but Dr Manmohan Singh needs the charging of power by Sonia Gandhi to establish his authority as Prime Minister. "Should the Prime Minister of a big country like India need to have the charging from a battery to show his own authority. Manmohan Singh is in chair but not in power," said BJP's Deputy Leader in Rajya Sabha Ravi Shankar Prasad.
