Our wonderful police..

Oh yeah, could have been Broadwater farm the revisit.

 

I have a very low opinion of the police. With one or two honourable
exceptions I wouldn't trust them to be milk monitors.

 

And I didn't get arrested!

 

Havng had run ins with them on a number of occasions I can state that
the vast majority of coppers are decent folk doing a fucking hard job
in increasingly challenging conditions. There are sadly a few bad
apples who are in a distinct minority, but no-one ever remembers the
good ones, do they?

 

I've run into quite a few on a professional basis and very, very few have
impressed - I wouldn't say they're decent folk. There are some good ones
but on the whole I wouldn't trust them to mind a play school, especially
the BTP and the Met.

 

Depends upon how the coppers turn it around. It could be considered as
breach of the peace, I'd've thought.

Oh, I bet the squaddie got banged up and charged back in barracks for
"conduct unbecoming".

 

I can see the copper punched like a girl.

 

That reminds me of the poor bugger that nicked a tank in the US. The
bloke eventually got stuck on a central reservation and when they
prised open the hatch, the fuckers shot him. It wasn't like he was
going anywhere.

 

I _hate_ US customs. No fucking sense of humour at all.

 

'Questions were raised as to whether or not it was necessary for the
police to kill Nelson. Scott Nelson himself said police were just doing
their job when they shot his brother. Police Captain Tom Hall said that
if Nelson managed to free the tank, he "could have taken out no less
than 35 vehicles that were passing at that moment."[1] Additionally,
police decided that if non-lethal action such as tear-gas was used, this
might have stopped Nelson but not the tank, and officers would not be
able to enter the tank if it were still moving and with tear-gas present'

One time I flew into Newark last year and the standard 'purpose of
vist, nature of business' replies elicited the line "so you're a drug
dealer" from the rathe jocular immigration bod. I declined to answer,
pleading the 5th amendment.

First time I'd actually found one who was trying to be pleasant.

At least, I think he was...

 

I own two of them, You need a sense of humour to ride one.

 

I was perusing Michael's book shelves wondering which of the many,
many options would be most likely to piss customs off on my
forthcoming trip.

Then I decided it would be fairly stupid and pointless. I do believe I
may be growing up. Damn.

 

I thought I'd told this one before but I can't find it in Google Groups.

About ten years ago I flew in to MSP. At immigration, having been
through at various other airports, I knew it wasn't going to be the most
pleasant of experiences. So I queue up and, come my turn, walk up to the
desk with the usual kind of bod sitting behind it. The conversation went
something like this:

"Ah, a Brit" says the bod
"Er, yeah" says me.
"Me to. Or was, anyway."
"Oh. OK."
"Look, don't worry, you're getting in, there's no problem. Now, you see
that girl in the queue behind you with the big tits?"
I look around, wondering wtf is going on because this isn't the usual
script.
"Er, yeah?"
"She's up next. When you walk away, don't just walk off, hang about a
bit. When she comes up to the counter she'll be a bit nervous like
everyone is. I'll crack a joke, she'll laugh, her tits will jiggle
about, everyone's day gets a boost"

So he stamps the passport, I walk away but loiter a bit, wondering if
I'm about to get the latex glove treatment, she walks up to the counter,
he cracks a joke, she laughs, her tits jiggle about and I walk off
entertained but utterly bewildered.

Strangest immigration experience I've ever had. Never had one like it
before or since.

 

And they all seem to be wetbacks who don't want to let anymore 'dirty
immigrants' into their new country.

I've had much more pleasant experiences going through Saudi customers,
FFS.

Don't. They don't like it. Really. The miserable fuckers don't like
anything out of the ordinary.

A friend of mine (Canadian, but Syrian by birth) was going to a sales
conference a few years ago (sometime in '02, IIRC). He'd flown from
Montreal to somewhere, with a view to catching a plane to Las Vegas.

When he arrived at his transfer airport, they pulled him to one side
and for _4_ fucking hours questioned him about how many times he prayed
each day, why his beard wasn't longer, etc, etc, etc. The problem with
some Arabs, is that when they get angry, they let you know about it. My
friend was the same. Had he kept his mouth shut he may have got away
quicker.

Needless to say, he missed his connecting flight.

The irony was, is that he's a Christian.

 

Are you sure you want to be sharing this?

 

That's a novel after-sales approach.
