What unearth was going on by the hospital this evening?

There were more policeman than at the policeman’s secret ball!

Ambulances too, and not ones leaving, more ones stopping to pick up, I think. Anyway they had to close the road!

If we started an Anti G8 Protestor Protest, and laid into the crusties, would the Police join in on our side or bang us up too?

It's all right, I know the answer...

I was working.

The plan was to be prepared in case of any retribution / disorder / protests following the bombings.

We had a sgt and 6 in a van for every district (a to J) plus the normal shifts.

Nothing happened though. Not even the usual p1ss heads causing trouble.....well, one woman threw her kebab at a colleague.

My key rack definately looks better for the keyring on there Simon.

Rang ewelme yesterday, the insurance co haven't even asked them how much it is yet, let alone paying for it.....Mind you ewelme said I could pay it and claim it back from liverpool victoria. I think they are as desperate to get rid of it as I am to take charge of it.

Insurance companies eh...
