An enterprising homeowner celebrated his 50th birthday in Mexico with money he raked in just by renting out his drive to commuters.
Rohit Jiwa charges up to £12.50 a day so people can leave their motors outside his home as they go to work, shopping or watch football.
He reckons he makes more than £2,000 a year.
‘I’ve had hundreds of people use my drive and it’s all very low maintenance,’ said Rohit, who lives close to the main railway station in Preston.
‘They book and pay online and all I have to do is give a little customer service when they arrive, which I think is an important part of it.’
‘I’ve just been to Mexico for my birthday using some of the money, so it really is a great bit of extra cash.’

Rohit is not alone.
Another local man, Ismail Timol, charges just £3.50 to park on his drive and says he has earned around £800 so far. 
‘I think it’s a good idea - why not do it?’
For IT professional Ismail it was a reference on a TV programme which got him thinking it was time to make use of his drive. 
He said: ‘It was one of those programmes where you get tips and save money and things and it came up there. 
‘I’ve tried to make it affordable for everybody. I’m happy to give a service more than anything. It’s quite convenient for people.’
The scheme is run by London-based JustPark who take 20 per cent. 
They say the number of local parking hosts around the country has nearly doubled in the past year with more than 80 spaces currently listed in Preston alone.

Washington DC might become a state, and get a new name

Washington DC might become a state, and get a new name Washington DC might become a state, and get a new name Washington DC might become a state, and get a new name As the capital of the United States, Washington DC is not  one of the 50 states. It’s a “federal district,” hence “District of Columbia,” shortened to “D.C.” But that could soon change, as they are currently bidding for statehood . If that happened, Washington DC would become the 51st state, and its leaders would give it an entirely new name. That name could quite likely be “New Columbia,” an old name that was approved by voters in a 1982 referendum in which Washington DC tried for statehood. It originates from Italian explorer Christopher Columbus, who is obviously a critical part of U.S. history. Washington, D.C. could have been renamed "Anacostia," but advocates for statehood chose "New Columbia." 󾓬󾓦󾓬󾓦󾓬󾓦… Posted by International B...

How Long Can You Go Without Washing Your Hair?

How Long Can You Go Without Washing Your Hair? [Photo: Pexels] How often do you wash your hair? Once a day, every other day or as little as once a week? However often you might think your hair needs a good rinse, it’s probably not as much as you would expect.  We’ve all heard that whipping out the shampoo too often can make hair oily over time - but, of course, grease can also build up when locks aren’t washed regularly enough.  Most experts agree that we don’t need to be over zealous when it comes to washing our locks. So, what’s the right routine? “All hair is different but a general rule is not to over wash,” explains Lorraine Rose, founder of D&L Hair Products. “We tend to wash our hair for two reasons: Grease and smell. However, when hair is ‘never washed’ the smell does vanish after a period of time and the natural oils in the hair and scalp self-clean the hair.” And it’s a tried and tested theory. In 2012, blogger Lucy Aitke...

Ryan Gosling Repeatedly Storms Out of ‘Late Show’ Interview

Ryan Gosling Repeatedly Storms Out of ‘Late Show’ Interview Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe stopped by The Late Show With Stephen Colbert to promote their new movie, The Nice Guys . In what was clearly a planned bit, Ryan claimed that his agent told him that Russell refused to do the movie unless Ryan would do it with him. Russell acted surprised by this information and then said he didn’t really need Ryan for the movie or the interview. The next few minutes of Gosling storming out — repeatedly — will go down as one of the most epic exits of all time! Gosling started by saying bye to everyone while tearing a piece of paper on Colbert’s desk, throwing a pen on the ground, grabbing a book off the shelf and placing it on the ground, and then finally exiting out the door. The former Sexiest Man Alive then walked behind the set and out another exit before reappearing with the band as he banged on a cowbell. Ryan continued “leaving” until Colbert handed a T-shirt gun to C...
