My so called life*

(Via The Register)

The Northumbria Safety Camera Partnership, aka “Safe speed for life” has just published its top 10 excuses for geting nobbled by a speed, sorry, safety camera.

And some of them I couldn’t help commenting on, so those are my remarks below the dividing bar in each entry.”
