it is really hard to tell the difference ponder stibbons Send a noteboard - 02/10/2010 01:30:24 AM
"Police originally said protesters had thrown rocks and bottles at them, but on Friday a spokeswoman said that only chestnuts had been lobbed at officers."

I'm sorry but if you can't tell the difference if it is rocks and bottles or chestnuts, then you are in the wrong job. It might not be nice to be pelted with them but it is a huge, huge difference.


... while wearing a helmet, visor down. Which is of course the obvious thing to put on when confronting children in a park.
I'll be more enthusiastic about encouraging thinking outside the box when
there's evidence of any thinking going on inside it.
