Now would be a good time to apply for a firearms certificate and get a couple of shotguns.

The sooner they pass a law for euthanasing anyone who can not finish a sentence with saying "br-br-br-br-br-brap!" or "innit bruv" the world will become a better place overnight.

I have a bit of a problem with some of the approaches the police have. Think I've mentioned it somewhere on here before. I went to a concert and the HMV Forum a little while ago, and during the concert, some talented pickpocket nicked 4 of the 6 of us in the group's phones out our pockets, along with about 8 others in the crowd we knew about. Its fine, I have insurance, not the biggest issue besides I just lost some cool photos. I pitch up the next morning to report it to the police so I can get a case number for theft, as I reported it already to my provider.
I walk in and say: "Hi, I'd like to report my phone stolen".
Policeman: "Did you see the person who stole your phone".
Me: "No, we'd be having a very different conversation if I did".
Policeman: "Well then, you mean you lost your phone?".
Me: "Nope, it was stolen, along with 3 other phones in our group, and a few other peoples'"
Policeman: "If you didn't see someone take your phone, we cant be certain it was stolen, and it was likely lost".
I feel for the coppers, as I think they have their hands tied, but somewhere up the foodchain something is rotten.
Next time tell them you reported it to your provider and they told you it had been used. I walk in and say: "Hi, I'd like to report my phone stolen".
Policeman: "Did you see the person who stole your phone".
Me: "No, we'd be having a very different conversation if I did".

- Light bulb goes on here, and I see where he is going. I went on to explain what happened in more detail, still to be told its an issue of loss, rather than theft. I did managed to get in "so, if I park my car on the street, and come back and its gone, was it stolen, or did I loose it, as I never saw the person that took it?". To which he seemed beat, but still handed me the loss form.

Had the same spiel when reporting wifes phone as nicked on the phone. Had to repeat myself 3 or 4 times and only on the last time did the operator let me finish. Either someone using it made it a crime or just realised I wasn't giving up.

Lost is NOT a crime, stolen is. It's yet another way of 'adjusting' reported crime in the wonderful world of official statistics. How many folks when reporting a stolen item being told it's actually lost will resolutely argue the toss ? Had the same spiel when reporting wifes phone as nicked on the phone. Had to repeat myself 3 or 4 times and only on the last time did the operator let me finish. Either someone using it made it a crime or just realised I wasn't giving up.

Followed a women (Pug 206 obviously) through town this morning whose interior rear view mirror was pointing down and at her so she could look at herself, she wasn't doing make up or using it, which makes me wonder if it like that permanently - knobette.
Maybe she was looking down her own top? I'd do that if I had boobs, too.
Black Volvo XC90 with the reg R 80 TER, deliberately positioned & spaced to read RB8 TER. Had the misfortune of following the f
king stupid woman driving it between Andover & Newbury earlier this afternoon.
God knows how she has a licence but she gains the term of knob-ette for the following reasons:
- In every NSL stretch of road she only did 45mph max (if myself and the cars behind were lucky enough).
- When driving through villages with a 30mph speed limit, she still drove at 40mph approx and in one instance nearly ran over an elderly woman crossing the road. At which point she leaves the 30mph zone i then catch up in the NSL where again she doesn't do more than 45mph.
- When approaching every corner, especially the nice flowing corners which even my old 205 GTI can easily take at the NSL, she elects to slam her foot on the brakes and slow to 35mph or less to negotiate said corners.
- When i attempt to overtake on a straight section of road where it's legal, totally clear & visble to do so, she elects to drift over the white lines to stop me and the car behind from getting by.
- And finally when a Paramedic Volvo can be seen & clearly heard bearing down behind us at speed, she elects to again drift over the white lines apparently in an attempt to prevent the Paramedic from also overtaking and very nearly forcing him up onto the grass verge as he tried to get by her.

The charming fellow in a white 116d who felt it necessary to give me a 10 second (no exaggerating) round of applause after I moved from lane 1 to lane 3 to overtake him, and then back to lane 1 again. He remained in lane 2 throughout. Then deliberately sped up to tailgate me when I moved back out to lane 3 to overtake more middle lane enthusiasts.
