The Economist’s Global Electoral College results are in.
Confusingly, the US gives Obama 81% of the vote. I guess the Economist’s readers are (perhaps unfortunately) not entirely representative of the electorate.

Many more examples of ‘voter suppression’ can be found at that site also.

BBC NEWS | Wales | E-mail error ends up on road sign

All official road signs in Wales are bilingual, so the local authority e-mailed its in-house translation service for the Welsh version of: “No entry for heavy goods vehicles. Residential site only”.
Unfortunately, the e-mail response to Swansea council said in Welsh: “I am not in the office at the moment. Please send any work to be translated”.

This is pretty dumb, even an ignorant Englishman like myself can tell that it’s not right.
