Brunstrom bids to conquer the Caribbean
Discussion
The Demented Druid is on the short list for the position of Commissioner of the Royal Cayman Islands...
Deep joy if he gets it, but you have to feel sorry for the poor sods over there...
Regrettably, that would put the Cayman Islands out of bounds for me, as I fear I am in Dickie's little red book after a personal altercation or three. No doubt he'd have absolute power over there and I don't fancy a month in a steaming cell for looking at him in a funny way....

...Durrrr
The North Wales chief constable, nicknamed the Mad Mullah of the Traffic Taliban because of his campaign against speeding motorists, is said to be on the shortlist for the role in the Caribbean.
He appeared to suggest a plan to retire last year, after 29 years service, but shortly after declared that "reports of my demise are sadly exaggerated".
According to sources he was one of 37 applicants for the £112,000-a-year role of Commissioner of the Royal Cayman Islands, and has made it on to the shortlist of six officers after an interview in the Caribbean.
There was delight at the suggestion of his departure among his critics in North Wales, where he has been chief constable since 2001.
Llandudno businessman Arthur Roberts, of North Wales pressure group "People for Proper Policing," said: "I wish him every success in his application."
The islands enjoy one of the lowest crime rates in the world and, if successful, the 54-year-old will be able to indulge his passion for sailing.
The outspoken police chief has provoked repeated anger with his comments, the most recent of which was to call for fatal car wrecks to be removed with their dead victims still inside to ease traffic congestion.
He has called for the number of speed cameras to be trebled and also ordered his officers to "hide behind road signs and walls" to catch speeding drivers.
He has also repeatedly called for the legalisation of hard drugs and claimed that ecstasy was safer than aspirin.
In 2007 he was criticised for using a photo of a decapitated biker in a road safety campaign without his family's permission.
A North Wales police spokesman was unavailable for comment.

lets hope he gets it, I would stop short of saying I hoped his plane didnt make it but I hope he gets anal warts
Anal warts...that tickled me I just hope it tickles Brunstrom.Perhaps before becoming a full commissioner, he could be put in a one-man inflatable dingy off the coast of Somalia. See how he gets on with traffic duties with the Somalian pirates.
Seems the local press has wind of the Dastardly Druid...
and they're not impressed...
Looks like he might still have to retire to sunny Scun
