Council's £24,000 payout over Jim Rodgers 'tomato jump' Jim Rodgers' attempt to jump over Lorraine Mallon went spectacularly wrong A Belfast City Council worker who was dressed as a tomato when she was injured by the then lord mayor has agreed a settlement of £24,021.75. Lorraine Mallon suffered a slipped disc when Jim Rodgers' knee accidentally hit her head as he tried to vault over her. Ms Mallon had been dressed as a tomato to launch a gourmet garden event in Botanic Gardens in September 2007. A spokesperson for the council said: "We can confirm that a settlement has been made in that case." The case was heard by Mr Justice Stephens at the High Court in Belfast, with the settlement agreed on Tuesday. ------------- |

You would thing the egit would find another way around....but I suppose it was his traditional route. Tell ya something if it were me jumping over her it wouldn't be my knee hitting her on the back of the head.......I am so sorry, I don't know where that came from. I'll get my hat and coat and hope that one day you all can forgive me.... ------------- There are friendlier places to drink. |
