I had to contact them for an adjudication on a pork pie dispute.....
The Integrity Upon Impact When Thrown Enquiry?How did that go? And did you manage to carry the Magistrates Court with you?
I mean it didn't actually break any of the glass of the Mayor's limousine, did it?
Could well have been the Crust v Jelly case that Lucido's referring to. Nasty business, all kicked off on Neasden High Street on a thursday lunchtime IIRC.
I believe the Mayoral limo escaped unscathed, the officials were using a hired golf cart at the time.
Anyhow, beautiful in Blyth at the moment. Quite fancy some fish & chips for lunch, there's a nice place on the seafront. We'll go and have a look.

Doubt it very much old boy, you've always got on ok with the 'Heavy Mob'. They'll see you ok, especially that Monkfish chap.I'll see you in the B&L at the usual time. Frank has asked if you could refrain from the purple onesie, that'd be good.
Had a few problems with Pink Panther impersonators, apparently.

I'll be wearing a ball and chain by then so if you can bring the old bolt croppers it would be appreciated. I'll see you in the B&L at the usual time. Frank has asked if you could refrain from the purple onesie, that'd be good.

To the rest of humanity all I have to say is:
Mary had a little lamb, full of fun and frolicks......
Have a go with the 'Little Boat' old chap. Dodgy seals or not, it's got to be worth a try...
It's pouring down here too, for what it's worth. Not a big problem though, having a good game of 'Ker Plunk' with Grandbomma in the chalet at the mo.
She's just told me I'm losing, so no surprise there then.

3rd call to the police in as many dates (called twice on the 1st, once more by 2am on the 3rd). I knew I was making a huge compromise by moving onto a council estate with the nickname "Colditz" but ffs. At least we have the independence here to make the bit within the boundary nice, rather than living in a rented place, in a nicer part of town, that costs more with no long-term stability possible. Oh well.
Feel sorry for the dispatcher. My call tonight was case 60 for the region. This was before 2am had rolled around. Busy night.

I've never watched The Prisoner before,saw an episode tonight.
Bizarro.
Only 17 episodes of original series.
Didn't know McGoohan also drove an Elan,thought it was always a 7.
It was Danger Man who drove the 7. In the title sequence of The Prisoner, Danger Man drives the 7 to his office where he resigns, then home to pack when baddies dressed as undertakers appear in a hearse to gas and abduct him. He wakes up in the Village. That's just the title sequence.Bizarro.

There was an episode of Danger Man where he drove a kart. He and the kart burst out of a pile of straw to the confusion of the forces of darkness who, if they were anticipating anything, were expecting a conventional ambush and punch-up. Immediately bamboozled, they were easily apprehended.

I've got a German Shepherd and a 12 bore you're welcome to borrow if that's any help.

It's mostly just a nuisance. People can have all the drunken arguments they want, right outside my door. I would just like 'em to be quiet about it. Short of chalk lines on the pavement in the morning I'm not too fazed 
Open the door and shout, "I have trivia and I'm not afraid to use it."It works for me. Or, to be more specific, several different strata of society give me a wide berth.
