Police officers hope to raise charity funds in half marathon Police officers from St Albans are preparing to take on a half marathon to raise cash for charity. A team of seven, including detectives, inspectors and PCSOs, will take on the St Albans Half Marathon on Sunday, June 9. Soph Pidgeon, Karen Lewis, Wendy Martin, David Gatta, Stuart Alexander, Kelvin MacKenzie and Dougie Black will take on the 13.1 mile course in aid of the Cystic Fibrosis Trust. The group picked the charity as their colleague’s niece suffers from the condition. Ms Lewis said: "Last year I started to keep fit to keep of the weight of giving up smoking and I started to really enjoy running. "Qu…

So, as Chewie has reminded me, May the 4th is a day to reflect on all that is great with Star Wars but I'd like to ask the members of PS.Com which they prefer - Star Wars or Star Trek? I enjoy Star Wars but I am a Trekkie all the way!! With Voyager being my favourite though I like the original and Next Generation (I do not care for Deep Space 9). Edit: I am also waiting for the next opportunity to go to a fancy dress night out as Seven of Nine.

Your last name stays put. The garage is all yours. Wedding plans take care of themselves... Chocolate is just another snack. You can never be pregnant. Car mechanics tell you the truth. The world is your urinal. You don't have to stop and think of which way to turn a nut on a bolt.. Same work, more pay. Wrinkles add character. People never stare at your chest when you're talking to them. New shoes don't cut, blister, or mangle your feet. One mood all the Time. Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat. You know stuff about tanks and engines. A five-day holiday requires only one suitcase. You can open all your own jars. You get extra credit for the s…

Hello all! Apparently this interesting sounding little documentary about the work of Victim Support's Homicide Service is on TONIGHT, Channel 4 at 2100! Be there or be a rectangular thing! http://www.channel4.com/programmes/the-murder-workers/episode-guide/series-1/episode-1

We can first look at the PC Terry Elmer RIP! given an posthumous award, a very touching moment as the family came up onto stage to be handed this award! Wimbledon police station flew their flag at half mast today following the death of a safer neighbourhood officer. PC Terry Elmer was rushed to Kingston hospital on Wedneday after he was taken ill during the night at his home. He died in hospital yesterday with his family, including his wife Jill and sons Daniel and Craig, a PCSO for Trinity ward, by his side. The 48-year-old was a “much loved” member of the Wimbledon Park safer neighbourhood team and had shown no signs of ill health prior to being taken ill. D…

Wimbledon Studios have announced their plans to clear the former sets of The Bill and replace them with office space, including the demolition of an extension built in 2005 to the set. Sad times. Here's the extant structure: and what the owners propose: So that really is a wrap from the police station that had 4 bombings, 18 shootings, 5 sieges and no PCSOs and 3 specials. Sad times!

I have mancold. I am done for.

I've just had about 3 hours sleep in preparation for today, first day of my penultimate set and I'm very tired and grumpy so I need to whinge... With so many people wanting to become PCs, not even one or two nights a week as a special constable can prepare you for working a full shift pattern. I've done nearly a year of 4 on 4 off (about as good as it gets for shift patterns) and I feel like I've aged about 5 years. Yes I know I got my police staff shift allowance etc but it also kills off your social life and your health and wellbeing too. I'm very thankful at the end of the month I'm going back to 8-4 Mon to Fri. It's also put me off being a PC this side of being 30, I…
