The PoliceSitting in my local pub late one night enjoying the landlord's flexible idea of what constitutes his licencing hours, a bunch of drunk blokes in raincoats burst in. Requesting to be served, one shouted at the barman "It's alright - we're not coppers!"
They were spitting images of Lt. Columbo to a man. The barman laughed them out of the pub.

i predict a riotBack in the days (2002 I think) before those tubby Leeds chancers "predicted a riot" I was in Leeds, for a riot. Well, it was the Leeds (poor cousin of Reading) Festival anyway, and some 14 year olds in Slipknot hoodies were causing a bit of a bother and vandalising some portaloos in youthful excess at the end of the Festival. The riot police stormed in and basically, caused a riot. Me and my mate, appalled at the unjustified beating that passers-by, tents and "the kids" were getting from "the man" decided to stand in between the warring factions. (i accept we'd had our fair share of loud-mouth-soup by then). My mate decided to harrangue "the pigs" with taunts of "Thatchers Army" and "You did this to the miners too" . I don't think anyone, police or kids understood us, and I got a baton round the arm for my troubles.
An absolute disgrace I think you'll agree, but there are some OK cops out there, like the ones who used to come into the off-licence where I worked, to have a drink whilst on duty like those two chaps from "Early Doors."
