The Locker Room

A government shut down is looming....we're about to enter a state of law and order without being governed. As former colonists, is there some way we can blame this on Britain?

Immigration officer put wife on terror list An immigration officer was so sick of his wife that he put her on a terrorist watch list - ­so she couldn't get home from Pakistan. http://web.orange.co.uk/article/quirkies/Immigration_officer_put_wife_on_terror_list

Reality show Big Brother will return to television screens later this year after Channel 5 signed a two-year deal with its creator, Endemol. The series will begin with a celebrity version in the summer followed immediately by another featuring members of the public. The show was axed in 2009 by Channel 4, which broadcast the final series last August. Channel 5 said it was "hugely excited" to have secured the deal. The series will continue to be filmed at its old home, Elstree Film Studios in Hertfordshire. Channel 5 said Big Brother would form "a key part" of its TV schedule. "The series has previously captivat…

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/gordon-brown/8441882/Gordon-Brown-I-made-a-big-mistake-on-banks.html At last, that ex Chancellor and PM admits that he made a big mistake over the economy. It just a pity it has taken him so long to admit it, many on here have been telling him it was all his fault for the last three years, but he kept telling us it was a ''Global'' problem. His two sidekicks in the treasury at the time were Ed ''Testicles'' Balls, and Nasal Ed, both who are now criticising HMG for their fiscal policies. Balls and Nasal shouldn't be allowed anywhere near money, they are both totally incompetent.

Hi all, David thought it would be worth while putting a FYI post up in the Locker Room regarding the PS.com Thorpe Park Adventure Day we are all planning in the Metropolitan Police forum. Anyone is welcome, so please go and visit our thread for more information. PoliceSpecial.com Metropolitan Police Outing - Thorpe Park Adventure Day Thread!

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-12996049 After all the fuss Morley made about being totally innocent, and it was all an honest mistake(so claiming £17,000 mortgage, for one you didn't have was an honest mistake), he has now pleaded ''GUILTY''. What I cannot work out is why it will take until after the 12th May for him to be sent to prison, why the long delay. Maverick222011-04-07 19:47:15

Anyone betting this year and what are your tips? I will probably put £40 down and try and get the same luck as last year. Won £350

So I'm 17 in June, studying Electric installation. This is my plan; Carry on studying electric installation. Apply to the the specials at 18 whilst still in college. If I don't get in then I will keep trying. Work as an electrician until the next recruitment drive and then apply for the regs. What do you think?

Just as it had started not to look brand new as well. Its got my name and number in it so hopefully I might get it back (Even if it will have a crudley drawn penis in it). In the meantime what is the form number to request a new one? Or should I just go and ask the admin types at the station?

As I'm sure you all know--though it probably has very little impact on your lives--the BBC World Service has/is eliminating services and programming. Most of the listeners understand the budget shortfall issues. In India they've come up with the money to keep one of the services. What I, as a listener disagree with is the choices the WS has made. We get 60 minutes daily of global arts coverage about books, music, and art that most of the WS audience can't afford and probably aren't really that interested in. But the weekly World of Music program--which has made so many careers for musicians who would have remained obscure--has been cut. There's a weekly half hour program …

Anyone have any thoughts on who's looking good for the win??

Hello all, I'm a serving special in the West Mercia Police. I'm also trying to finish my degree in Animal Science and Welfare. I would be hugely grateful if you could fill in my short survey on the topic of animal welfare in slaughterhouses, particularly ritually slaughtered animals. This will form some part of my final honors project. It really will only take 2 mins or so. http://www.survey.bris.ac.uk/harper-adams/animalslaughter Thank you in advance

I haven't seen one of these threads about, but excuse me if someone beat me to it. Firstly, the rules... Post funny pictures in an attempt to make people laugh. If you laugh, you lose. Self explanatory. Giggling counts as losing. Smirking doesn't. This is a picture only game, no videos or links! If you lose to someone elses post, you have to quote them and say "Lost". If you lose, you have to post. For the sake of David's health - Keep it clean! I'll get the ball rolling, shall I?
