James burst into the public eye this week after he flagged down police at the South Bay shopping center in Dorchester, where he noticed a backpack that had been left near an overturned shopping carriage.

The backpack, containing $2,400 in cash, nearly $40,000 in travelers checks, and a passport, had been left behind by a visiting student from China. The student and his money were quickly reunited, and James received a citation of appreciation Monday from Police Commissioner Edward F. Davis, who commended James for an “extraordinary show of character and honesty.”

Its great what he did, and well deserving of a reward, but surely people could think of a more deserving cause than contributing to a fund that has already reached a large figure.

I'm a postman!!

If it's American it comes from just the one source.
If it's cycling related that's from Twitter (and usually on geeks).
If it's sport stats that's from Sporting Intelligence, which I luuuurve.

and if it's interesting/debatable I'll sling it on here, Husty enjoys it even if nobody else does!


I was going to do the 'Gus on TV thread' and subvert it with a YouTube clip of a monkey feverishly masturbating, but that was pretty graphic and I wasn't sure what Google would think.
So I guess it's better if I let others do the trawling.

The most curious thing..
Postman = work = nice stroll round the neighbourhood putting a few unwanted leaflets through a couple of letterboxes = home by lunch = plenty of time to trawl internet = c19,000 posts on here ?

Can't really argue with that, just a couple of points of order:-

1) Home for a LATE lunch, these days.
b) It's about 500 letterboxes.
&
3) It seems like it's only stopped pi$$ing down a few weeks ago, and it's started again already, probably till June.
