At present, more than half of all local councils in England have switched to alternate weekly collections, where regular rubbish is picked up <a href="http://armchairnews.co.uk/2011/06/20/bin-collection-row-is-a-load-of-rubbish/"> read more <span class="meta-nav">&#187;</span></a>]]></description>

Both genuine successes, and worthy of congratulations from the sports press. Yet nearly all the news has been dominated in the last few days by the problems at West Ham United, who were relegated from the Premier <a href="http://armchairnews.co.uk/2011/05/18/overrated-football-club-gets-relegated-so-what/"> read more <span class="meta-nav">&#187;</span></a>]]></description>

Several hundred inmates had successfully escaped from a prison in Kandahar through a tunnel that had been dug from outside the jail.

In this case it&#8217;s who was omitted from William and Kate&#8217;s Royal wedding guest list.
