Welcome!
Diversity is good, until the Thought Police and PC boys run you over. Glad to see at least one staunch heart over there. Regarding a would-be perp breaking in, their human rights and defending yourself; Allow me to offer an American Truism: It is better to be tried by 12 than carried by 6.
Thumbs up for your colorful police cruisers. Let someone say they didn't see THOSE highlighter colors coming at them!

For me, before there was the Thin Blue Line, there was the Blood Stripe! Semper Fi!

Maybe we could trade? If you can put the "H" back in "herbs" I'll see what I can do with the bloody wanker. Oh, and if you can promise to pronounce "aluminium" properly that might sweeten the deal!!

Traffic bikes? Balls of steel...... I've watched our bikes from the chopper downlink a few times when doing VIP convoys and prisoner escorts. Those outriders make ground like nothing else I've seen. Collegue of mine from our Control Room starts as a Special in the Met in January. Think she'll find it a different kettle of fish from up here in Norfolk! Originally Posted by fatboyjim154

But hey! 1 out of 2 ain't bad.Of every one hundred men, ten should not even be here. Eighty are nothing but targets. Nine are real fighters, and we are lucky to have them, for they make the battle. Ah, but the One... One of them is a Warrior... He will bring the others back.

Traffic course, but I'm paid to target known subjects to take their wheels away, along with rogue unlicenced taxi drivers and the 'courier services' you don't find in yellow pages. Originally Posted by martyn850

Ha Ha! I'll give you the "aluminum" but not convinced with your Herb argument! But rather worse I've had the "Shake Your Groove Thing" tune running through my head all day!!! Originally Posted by Sgt. Slaughter
