Light a candle for Dino >>>


Dean (DINO) wasn't rally your regular 32 year old bloke because half the time he acted like a 22 year old. Sometimes you would see the old man in him, but mostly always having a laugh ( at others) and taking the p**s.
He was always the life and soul of the party, you could put money on it if someone was being quiet Dino would soon change that.

The 1 thing everyone will remember Dino by is his car, everybody knew it was the 3rd best thing in his life after his beautiful partner Ellen and his lovely Kids. If you have ever been in the car with him you will know that he loved his music aswell, he was obsessed with "Old Skool" and Prodigy.

Dino was a well respected man everwhere he went, he had freinds in Loughborough and Leicster and a lot of other places and will still have them always. Basiclly everyone liked him no matter where he went.

One thing everybody says and will always remember about Dino is that he would always do anything for anyone without a doubt. If you had a problem and needed help you wouldn't even need to ask for it he would offer. Dino means alot to so many people, he will be missed but never forgot about. Every single person that knows him will understand everything thats been put here and for the people that dont know him he was the best bloke you could ever meet.

He passed away in a tragic car accident in a collision with another vehicle.
It was a really bad way to go and everyone wishs he was still here but one thing that went in his favour was that he went doing something he loved.

Were going to miss you Nobby.

"Dino mate all your freinds and family will never forget you, i mean how could we forget someone like you"



a year on and dino is still thought of in all the ways he was when he was with us still missing you dino xxxx rip xxxx

Fatal crash driver 'hit 150mph'

A woman clocked up 150mph on a motorway shortly before crashing on a country lane, causing the death of her boyfriend in the passenger seat, a court heard.
Samantha Jane Watson (26) allegedly lost control at the wheel of a high-powered Mitsubishi Evolution 4x4 and crashed into an oncoming car, driven by an off-duty policeman.
Her boyfriend, Dean Bulmer, a 32-year-old father of three, from Barrow-upon-Soar, died at the scene.
A backseat passenger in the Mitsubishi, Daniel Jordan – who suffered a fractured arm – told Leicester Crown Court yesterday that Watson was driving erratically at high speed.
He claimed that Mr Bulmer – in the front passenger seat – had told Watson to slow down on Copt Oak Road, but she made no reply and did not slow down.
HE said that earlier, heading northbound on the M1, he saw the speedometer registering 150 mph, and on the country lane "it felt like" she was driving at 120 mph, which prompted him to put his seat belt on.
Mr Jordan added: "We went round a right hand bend and I seen some bright lights coming towards me. We were in the middle of the road."
He said their car began "swerving all over the road."
He said: "We hit the other car. I can't remember it. I passed out. Sam was saying sorry, that's all I can remember."
Detective Sergeant Simon Cure, who was in the Ford Mondeo involved in the crash, said: "The car came out of the bend and snaked into my lane and all over the place, eventually settling in my lane, coming directly for me.
"It came very quickly, at a vast rate of knots. It was abnormally quick around the bend, going side to side. It was completely out of control. There was nothing I could do.
"There was a massive impact."
He suffered a fractured right ankle bone and three broken bones in his left foot, a gashed knee and bruising.
The crash happened at 11pm on a bend on the B591 Copt Oak Road, near Markfield, on April 14 last year.
Watson, of ********** Tamworth, who lived in Coalville, at the time, was also injured in the crash. She denies causing death by dangerous driving.
Heidi Kubik, prosecuting, said Watson was interviewed in July 2007 and told police she was driving that evening because Mr Bulmer had been drinking.
She said she was driving "carefully" and had ignored encouragement from Mr Bulmer to drive fast.
She had no memory of the accident and could not explain why she was on the wrong side of the road when she crashed.
The Mitsubishi belonged to Mr Bulmer, who had earlier got behind the wheel to demonstrate rally style driving tricks on the Asda car park at Fosse Park

Fatal-crash driver denies speeding

A woman accused of causing her boyfriend's death in a head-on crash claims she was not speeding or driving dangerously.
Samantha Jane Watson, who is on trial at Leicester Crown Court, told the police that boyfriend Dean Bulmer told her to "floor it" while she was driving his high-powered Mitsubishi Evolution 4x4.
The 26-year-old car enthusiast claimed she refused to put her foot down and stayed within the speed limit, driving carefully.
She told officers in an interview three months after the fatal crash: "I never put my foot down because it wasn't my car."
She said it was the fourth time she had driven the powerful Mitsubishi, and claimed to have no recollection of going into the wrong lane and crashing head-on into a Ford Mondeo, driven by an off-duty police officer.
THE prosecution allege that she lost control on a bend of the B591 Copt Oak Road, near Markfield, at 11pm on April 14 last year.
Watson, a qualified tyre and exhaust fitter, formerly of Rowan Avenue, Coalville, but now of Tamworth, denies causing the death of Mr Bulmer, a 32-year-old father-of-three from Barrow-upon-Soar.
He was a front seat passenger, not wearing a seat belt, and died at the scene from his injuries.
Watson told police that she had been dating Mr Bulmer for a few months. He had asked her to drive that day because he had been drinking.
The driver of the Mondeo, Detective Sergeant Simon Cure, who was injured in the crash, had earlier told the court the Mitsubishi was "completely out of control" and had snaked directly into his path.
A back seat passenger in the Mitsubishi, Daniel Jordan (16) told the jury Mr Bulmer had not encouraged Watson to go faster, but had instead told her to slow down.
He claimed that she had earlier that evening driven at 150 mph, on either a dual carriageway or the M1 motorway.
Heidi Kubik, prosecuting, said experts were unable to say what speed either car was travelling at prior to impact.
Earlier that evening, the Mitsubishi had set off in a convoy with an Astra and Ford Escort convertible, carrying a number of car enthusiast friends, from Loughborough.
They went to Nottingham before going to the Asda car park at Fosse Park, Leicester.
Jeff Gibbs, a passenger in the Escort, claimed that on arriving at the Asda car park Watson "bragged" of having just driven at 150mph along the A46.
He claimed to have also seen her weaving on a road leading from Nottingham to the Leicester-bound A46.
Paul Smith, driving the Escort, said Watson had been "a little bit erratic and swerving a bit" on the way to the A46.
Leanne Cayless, who had been driving the Astra, said that at Fosse Park she heard Daniel Jordan say Watson had driven at 150 mph.
Mark Jordan (18), passenger in the Astra and brother of Daniel, said: "Sam (Watson) was driving faster than us and kept leaving us, but then waited for us to catch up."
At Fosse Park they all agreed to meet at Ms Cayless' house in Loughborough.
However, Watson diverted towards her home in Coalville, intending to get some cigarettes, coming off the motorway at junction 22 and going on to Copt Oak Road, where the collision happened.
