JohnRich 4 #51 January 29, 2005 QuoteWhat if she had been eating a banana? Then the police would have needed close-up high-resolution high-speed video... QuoteJohn, thanks for posting that funny story. I don't post much in SC because I'm afraid of you all BOO! We're really just a bunch of softies in here. QuoteFor those that haven't met John, he really is a nice guy. Even when you do a fruit loop on him at the end of the skydive when you should be tracking off. He didn't even get mad at me. Thank you for showing that I'm not a "bitter old man". Well, some of the younger folks might dispute my denial of the "old" part... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mr2mk1g 10 #56 January 31, 2005 QuoteMeanwhile, the violent crime rate is up 6% since last year... You thought it was up 11% a week and a half ago. Change your mind after I showed you the home office figures stating it's down by 3%? Still not sure where the 6% comes from though... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I prefer to be in the driver's seat, but I don't mind if she wants to go bare-back riding instead. As long as we get there. Yup, I like pie. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dorbie 0 #59 January 31, 2005 QuoteQuoteI can say to the World that the British police are some of pettiest people in existance Ohhh, it sounds like you have some stories to share. Do tell us! Traffic cops in the UK are the worst, they're real sanctimonious sticklers, they'd ticket their own mothers. They've been known to ticket other cops, they're infamous. Lots of cops still try to get on traffic though, it's seen as glamorous because they get to drive the flashy cars and do pursuit training. It should give you an idea of how exciting policing is in the UK. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crozby 0 #60 January 31, 2005 QuoteTraffic cops in the UK are the worst, they're real sanctimonious sticklers, they'd ticket their own mothers. They're not as bad as the traffic wardens. Those vultures regularly ticket ambulances parked on yellow lines outside the hospital where my wife gave birth. (if several emergencies show up at A&E/ER at once the ambulancese have nowhere else to park). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
