A student who faked a burglary at his halls of residence and stole fellow undergraduates' laptop computers was today handed a suspended jail sentence.
Oxford Crown Court heard Mohammed Yaser, 22, stole two laptops and an iPod before using a screwdriver to make it look like a burglar had forced entry to the rooms at Morrell Hall in March.
Yaser, of Harcourt Terrace, Headington, admitted burglary and trying to pervert the course of justice. He was given a 26-week suspended jail sentence and an 18 month supervision order.

"USAGE The word loose is sometimes confused with lose; as a verb loose means ‘unfasten or set free’, while lose means ‘cease to have’ or ‘become unable to find’. It is therefore incorrect to say this would cause them to loose 20 percent, the correct version being &ddd; to lose 20 per cent."

Some interesting controversy in the musicological line. It is being suggested that Mozart's Jupiter Symphony may have been the work of one of Beethoven's teachers Luchesi....
Er... hold on,apologies Oxford, should have posted this in Surrey.
