What a waste of tax payer money. I am sure Gibson had the wood room bobby trapped or the pieces of suspect wood ready to flush. One agent coming in to do an inspection would not have worked.

It’s the only sport children will not be able to go to as part of the Ticketshare scheme,” a spokesperson told the London Evening Standard.

It’s all part of The Year of the Bat, designated by the United Nations and Bat Conservation International. A hat tip to the Wildlife Society blog.

His only complaint on the road has been the high price of beer in Canada. “In Europe, I drink every night. Some place you get beer for 60 cents.” via backcountry.
