PENTONVILLE PRISON
George Michael has been sentenced to eight weeks in jail after admitting crashing his car while under the influence of cannabis. At a hearing at Highbury Corner Magistrates' Court in London the singer was told that he will spend half of the sentence behind bars and the other half on licence. He was also banned from driving for five years and ordered to pay a GBP 1,250 fine, GBP 100 costs and a GBP 15 victim surcharge. On 4 July this year Police found the singer slumped at the wheel of Range Rover and "spaced out" after crashing it into the side of a building. The court heard that before the accident Michael had taken a "dangerous and unpredictable mix" of prescription drugs and cannabis. Before giving sentence today District Judge John Perkins commented: "It does not appear that you took proper steps to deal with what is clearly an addiction to cannabis. That's a mistake which puts you and, on this occasion, the public at risk." He added that a jail term was inevitable due to Michael's previous conviction. The popstar will serve his term at London's famous Pentonville prison

Man spends 62 years making fleet of 430 Royal Navy warships out of matchsticks, Blandford, Dorset, Britain - 24 Aug 2010
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Bournemouth News / Rex Features ( 1221547m )
The Matchstick Armada
A man has spent the past 62 years faithfully recreating an armada of 432 Royal Navy warships out of matchsticks and wooden match boxes.
Over the last six decades Philip Warren has painstakingly crafted every naval warship afloat, in service or to have come in since the Second World War.
The ever growing collection, which currently stands at 432, has been drawing huge crowds at exhibitions across the country since 1953.
79-year-old Philip, a retired company director from Blandford, Dorset, began creating his first ship in 1948 when he was just 17 years old.
He uses a razor blade, tweezers and sandpaper to carve the matches and boxes before piecing them together using PVA and balsa wood glue.
In total he has utilized more than 650,000 to create his incredibly detailed 1:300. scale models.
Each is based on plans, drawings and photographs of the real ships and are accurate scale models.
Going one step further, Philip has even crafted 1,200 model aircraft to make his carrier ships even more realistic.
Included amongst his matchstick fleet are the HMS Ark Royal, HMS Belfast and HMS Sheffield.
Vessels from the US Navy include the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz.
One average each ship takes around 1,500 matches and up to three months to build.
However, the larger creations can be made of 5,000 matches and 200 boxes and take up to a year to put together.
Philip's most recent model is the Royal Navy's newest destroyer - HMS Daring - which was formally commissioned in July.
He said: "I started building ships when I was 17, like every other boy back then, and I used what was around me.
"Matches were much more common then - they were used all day, every day, and every man would carry a matchbox with him.
"I looked back to ships from 1945 onwards, from the end of t...

Philip's most recent model is the Royal Navy's newest destroyer - HMS Daring - which was formally commissioned in July.
He said: "I started building ships when I was 17, like every other boy back then, and I used what was around me.
"Matches were much more common then - they were used all day, every day, and every man would carry a matchbox with him.

The Matchstick Armada
A man has spent the past 62 years faithfully recreating an armada of 432 Royal Navy warships out of matchsticks and wooden match boxes.
Over the last six decades Philip Warren has painstakingly crafted every naval warship afloat, in service or to have come in since the Second World War.
The ever growing collection, which currently stands at 432, has been drawing huge crowds at exhibitions across the country since 1953.
79-year-old Philip, a retired company director from Blandford, Dorset, began creating his first ship in 1948 when he was just 17 years old.
He uses a razor blade, tweezers and sandpaper to carve the matches and boxes before piecing them together using PVA and balsa wood glue.
In total he has utilized more than 650,000 to create his incredibly detailed 1:300. scale models.
Each is based on plans, drawings and photographs of the real ships and are accurate scale models.
Going one step further, Philip has even crafted 1,200 model aircraft to make his carrier ships even more realistic.
Included amongst his matchstick fleet are the HMS Ark Royal, HMS Belfast and HMS Sheffield.
Vessels from the US Navy include the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz.
One average each ship takes around 1,500 matches and up to three months to build.
However, the larger creations can be made of 5,000 matches and 200 boxes and take up to a year to put together.
