The Locker Room

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article2261505.ece A HILARIOUS video of some of the world’s worst women drivers has become a huge hit on the internet. I liked that person in green car, could not get into a parking space. :clapping: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article2261595.ece funny stuff.

Ok, we all have names for certain things. My girlfriend calls her car "piglet", sometimes he is a he and sometimes she is a she (the car). I was mortified today when my boss asked me how I intended to get to a course as my van will be in for a service. I blurted out, without thinking, "it's ok I'll take piglet". I do this alot now it seems to have rubbed off, I don't lose the car keys, I lose the keys to "piglet". So go on, what do you all call your cars?

Police in South Korea say an elderly woman has failed her driving test for the 771st time. But the 68-year-old has apparently told the local media she has no intention of giving up, reports Sky News. The woman, who lives in the city of Jeonju, has taken the test almost every working day since 2005. She failed it again this week, setting a new record for the country. The Korea Times said the woman, identified only by her last name Cha, plans to make another attempt. Her problem is that she cannot pass the written section of the test. The pass mark is 60 out of 100 but she only averages 30-50. Cha sells food and household items at apartment complexes, carrying the ite…

This slightly delayed, but important piece of news, broke the surface this morning..... http://uk.news.yahoo.com/4/20090216/tuk-nuclear-sub-in-atlantic-collision-dba1618.html With all of the modern communications and navigation equipment on board both subs, how could this occur?

As Pen has always told us: This is from today's Countryside Alliance e-newsletter: It is always nice for the Alliance to see our campaigns being adopted by Government and political parties. We can happily put our full support behind the Honest Food campaign launched by Shadow Environment Secretary Nick Herbert, because it shares the same aims as a campaign we launched many years ago. Knowing where your food comes from should be a basic right, but whilst food labelling has improved significantly, the new Honest Food campaign is tackling the remaining labelling lie which suggests that the country of processing is the country of origin. <?:namespace prefix…

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1151906/Now-Police-Chiefs-PLC-cashes-speeding-drivers.html for the second week running ACPO is being exposed as profiteering from a monopoly it has created, setting the national policy on something and then creating a company to rake in profits from it. Their reputation is well and truly in the toilet - how long can it be before the Home Office take action? I know what my force could do with a slice of the £32 million ACPO has sitting in the ACPO - a lot more bobbies on the beat.

Spotted on a police station noticeboard in Devon!

I thought I’d post a brief CV here for new members who don’t know me. I am a member of the public who joined the forum in 2006 to post on the Essex Police, What a Mess thread. Originally I joined as Me’nmybigmouth, which many would describe as an apt name. Unfortunately the apostrophe gave me problems with PMs etc, so I rejoined as M&MBM. <?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> I live in Essex, I’m a Neighbourhood Watch Coordinator (until I get too hacked off with it) and on our local Neighbourhood Action Panel. I like gardening, I hate housework, and I write. I’m struggling to get some novels pub…

several months ago I was doing some maintainance work on my car (which i've now sold on). The yob from across the road comes passed me on his bike staring at me menacingly. After a good few seconds I looked up at him, he stopped. He gave me various threats, can't remember them to the exact word, but I do remember one threat to smash up my car. I ignored him and a day or two later tried knocking on his door to see if I could speak to his mum or something. they never seem to answer the door at all at that hosue. Time passed and every now and again he'd see my around the town where I live and he'd say things to try and intimidate me. He'ss all talk and to be honest, doesn't …

Ok, so my homepage is the Times Online, so everytime I open my internet, up pops the times online.... and it is soooo depressing!! Seriously, teenage births, people driving tanks into walls, Jade goody, people being killed over xbox consoles and dentists ripping out things from peoples mouths because they can't pay for them! Has the world always been this depressing, or have I been wearing a blindfold all these years!? Don't the papers report happy stuff anymore?!

I see there is a two part TV programme on the work of CO19, the Met Police Firearms Unit, on Tuesday at 9pm , ITV1. Might be of interest for those that are interested in this type of police work. I shall watch, if only to criticise saying ''It wasn't like that in my day'' and ''That's not how I trained them to do that'' etc.! :ph34r:

Out on an observer shift last night in East Devon...found this on the wall. Made my laugh!
