Time for debutant wicketkeeper Luke Ronchi - who, as any Star Wars fan knows, is the first Luke to play Test cricket. (Considering this is the 2,163rd Test in history, that's rather surprising). His first ball is short, he fends it off and just over the leaping second slip for four. Clearly the Force is with Luke at this stage.

The last manned lighthouse in the UK was the North Foreland Lighthouse in Kent.
It became fully automated in Nov 1998 and the changeover ceremony was presided over by the Duke of Edinburgh .
In a Bugatti Veyron, to reach speeds greater than 234 mph, a second “Top Speed” key must be inserted on the floor beside the driver seat prior to startup. Upon turning the key, the ride height is lowered to 2.5 inches, the spoiler angle is reduced to 2 degrees, the front diffuser flaps are closed, and the steering wheel turn is limited; but none of this occurs before a GPS tracker makes Bugatti aware of the car’s location in order to instantaneously void the factory warranty.
The plumb part refers simply to the plumb line used since antiquity for straight lines, loco being, I assume, an Americanism added to imply someone's being a div.
Agatha Christie uses plumb as a prefix for a few terms (plumb smart or something) to imply "straight", as we'd say "dead" clever or something.
