The Locker Room

From what I gather there's quite a culture of "Job nicknames" going on in the force... what good ones have you heard or what is yours if you're a resident fed? I'll go first!

Don Gorske said he hit the 23,000 milestone last month, continuing a culinary obsession that began in May, 1972, reports Metro. "I enjoy them every day," said Mr Gorske, 54, from Wisconsin. "I need two to fill me up." He used to order fries every day in the 1980s but began to cut back in the '90s, now eating them about once a month. "Sometimes people call me a freak but it doesn't bother me. I just say respect people as they are. I just want to make sure people understand I'm not going to change." He can instantly recall the eight days in which he failed to satisfy his cr…

Helloooo, I am an avid fan of Angling and would like to know if anyone else on here is sad enough to be a fellow maggot drowner or perhaps even a fluff chucker? If so, how often do you get to go with work commitments e.t.c? Maybe you'd like to show off some of the catches you have had in your experiences as well

From Telford, local evening paper tonight............ "Council staff have been ordered to stop and quiz any adults found walking in the town park without a child. Anyone who wants to go to the park but not accompanied by at least one youngster will have to explain why they are there". I can understand the need to protect children, but this is just 'draconian' and 'authoritarian madness'.

Ode to Public Servants. Ten public servants standing in a line, one of them was downsized - then there were nine. Nine public servants who must negotiate, one joined the union - then there were eight. Eight public servants thought they were in heaven, 'til one of them was redeployed - then there were seven. Seven public servants, their jobs as safe as bricks, but one was reclassified - then there were six. Six public servants trying to survive, one of them was privatised - then there were five. Five public servants ready to give more, but one golden handshake reduced them to four. Four public servants full of loyalty, their jobs were advertised - t…
