@FinalBullet I guess the architects assumed a lot of rubbish would be deposited in the futuristic vacuum-powered disposal system. (The Barbican)

@FinalBullet In this 1960s vision of the future residents place their rubbish into a cupboard by the front door, and it’s picked up by a collector from the corridor. Except the cupboards are too small for modern rubbish bags.

@markhurrell Wikipedia: ‘Perhaps the most distinctive feature of the modern legion uniform is the khaki "gorrillo" cap or "chapiri”….’ No, still not the most interesting thing.

@FinalBullet Some people here get *very* worked up over people leaving their rubbish bags in the corridor overnight when collections ARE FROM 8AM.

@paulrobertlloyd I was planning to, because I like the idea of JSON Feed, but in reality it didn’t seem to offer any *immediate* benefit, so that’s for another day.

@BillyElNino @forzavinyl @samuelpepys This is true, although those bits do tend to fit in 140 characters better than the lengthy accounts of committees and legal wranglings!
