Nottingham @feddit.uk ᴇᴍᴘᴇʀᴏʀ 帝 @feddit.uk Nottinghamshire man dresses as Deadpool to take on speeding drivers
cross-posted from: https://feddit.uk/post/18685072
A Nottinghamshire man has become so frustrated with drivers speeding down his road that he plans to suit up as Deadpool to stop them. Mark Spaven, 59, says motorists have been whizzing down Cavendish Drive in Carlton for years and his cat, Groot, was struck and killed by a suspected speeding driver two weeks ago.
Now, feeling as though his complaints to the council have fallen on deaf ears, the self-confessed Marvel aficionado plans to take to the street as comic book anti-hero Deadpool - but promises not to chop anybody's heads off. "I'm going to be going up and down dressed as Deadpool," said Mr Spave, who has a hand-made 'slow down please' sign.

Nottingham @feddit.uk ᴇᴍᴘᴇʀᴏʀ 帝 @feddit.uk Nottingham - home of Warhammer - is now the global capital of war gaming
www.thisismoney.co.uk Nottingham: The global capital of war gamingThe battle gaming industry - worth millions to the UK economy - has found its home in an area known as the 'Lead Belt' - a reference to the casting of model soldiers in lead alloy.
When it comes to mythical conflicts, Nottingham is associated with Robin Hood and the wicked sheriff rather than with legions of orcs and goblins.
But some of the universe's largest battles are fuelled by games companies based in the East Midlands city, in an area known as the 'Lead Belt' – a reference to the casting of model soldiers in lead alloy.
The largest of the firms, headquartered in an industrial estate not far from the city centre, is Games Workshop, owner of the Warhammer franchise and the world's largest manufacturer of miniature battle figures.
...
Other companies to have set up shop in the area include The Assault Group, Mantic Games and Wargames Foundry.
Another, Warlord Games, makes a series called Bolt Action which it boasts is one of the world's leading Second World War wargames.
...
The companies that make up the wider 'Lead Belt' account for about 90 per cent of the British wargaming miniatures market. Many supporting businesses are l
