No great issue here. Devices to detect speed cameras and radar guns are illegal to use in the UK but are still easily available to buy on both Ebay and Amazon.

They should be arrested and impris...oh hang on Life on earth is the global equivalent of not storing things in the fridge. |

G4S are also in charge of security at this university, which explains why my access card opens every single building, not just the chemistry buildings i need. Life on earth is the global equivalent of not storing things in the fridge. |
