Re: Useless Observation Links

That would be almost exactly wrong round here. All the handles are pointing the same way (or at least the bins are reasonably neat) when the residents have first put the bins out.

Re: An interesting development - RegLocal

He has a Masters with Distinction. As the supply of ex-police class 1's dries up, examiners are being drawn from riders with this and suitable background. Ok, thanks. I didn't know that was the case.
