Nottinghamshire Totally Snowed in!
Posted by: Berlin Fritz on 27 December 2005
Initially after a team of 'Huskies' (Highly trained CSO's ) escaped the County to give the alarm to other police forces that roads were simply impassable throughout the Manor. Chief Constable Andy C, (St Georges Tavern Cross & Bar) was quoted as saying 'Most people are not even aware that Nottinghamshire actually exists, and it's only when they come flying through in their flash motors to more exotic destinations that we nab them for all sorts of offences, innit'. This is a real emergency though, as lot's of the chaps are on the sick at present (mainly work related stress), and all overtime pay has been docked in the green, by Charlie Clark, so we're stymied, and must rely almost entirely upon volunteers.
5cm of wispy, crispy snow has been sighted, which in real money is nearly 3 inches, and only highly skilled and long experienced taxi-drivers, farmers, and milkmen can get through it, everybody else is on hoiliday, or working on the side in Tescos. The Chief Constable also emphasised that he's doing his very best to send out an armed rapid response unit with every call, to ensure the safety of his officers, but sometimes we just have to put callers on automatic hold, and relay them to a call centre (with nice music) and eventually talk to a Councillor (No! not the elected kind), phew; that's a relief then John:
A Mr. M.P.Parry, Spokes-person for home County security & public order has issued a statement to the tune of 'I'm allright Jack, i Is in Wiltshire, so lettem get on wivvit and stop the whingeing, innit'
Thank you Sir, *************

Of course a decent dog's just the ticket for getting one home of a friday evening after having a charitable skinful (well earned mind) of the Old Brasso with the Chaps doon at the Lodge, innit

I'm still wondering whether it's safe to out though.
You'll be fine I expect; so long as you don't meet any 'over enthusiastic' coppers who haven't filled their arrest compliment/quota for the month yet! (you think I Jest)
Waxing Lyrical; and of course this is not the first time Our Mick has unimaginatively brought up the subject of Barbour Jackets, though I expect he thinks 20 years have gone by, innit:
Goodnight
Green also signifys green !

It is difficult to find anything Phritz actually likes.. with one rather obvious exception!

Luvvly Jubbly Fizzer Old Chap! and I must say, I do second your thoughts with regards to spending quality 'unconditional' time with your elderly 'Still compis-mentis Mother' truly a magic time for you both I'm sure John!
Onto another theme now: I happily recall the Right Honourable Member for Swindon-Barbour and myself actually agreeing earlier in the year; what a scandal it would be if the government (using taxpayers hard earned dosh) baled out the flagging & rapidly sinking Rover company. The help & re-structuring of the ex-workers lives is naturally another matter entirely, and in a 'super wealthy' land like England, almost a duty I feel! (besides in the long run it's better for all concerned both financially and psychologically) 'Quality of life and all that stuff', as well as now being Europe at long last, innit.
Not wishing to remind everybody too often that Our Gordon's self-imposed 'Golden Rules' regarding spending taxpayers dosh on PFI 'Consultants' at present far
outways some �2 Billion in the present 'fiscal cycle?', which is naturally about half of the 'Black hole' in the Post Office's own Pension scheme at present, being some �4.4 Billion + daily interest accruing of course. Will the right Honourable Gentleman then agree with me 'again', that when the Post Office goes private in 2007 (most likely to Deutsche Post), that the then government will not in anyway bale out the pension lossess with public money, or is this a different matter entirely?
As announced 'today' France may well be soon introducing a system of 'Positive Discrimination' in its labour market (A thing Our Mick has always gone for I think). Please feel free to check out the connotations of what 'Positive Discrimination' actually means if you are interested, and if not, there's a very good chance that such new implimentations most definately wouldn't be in your own business interests, innit
P.S. I refer to the proper job market here, and not the Mickey Mouse shite that nobody normally wants to do given their superior experience & qualifications in the particular field
in hand (big hand wunnit):
Where the fuck's Wigan anyway?

What! Not Dave?
How much snow do you have Phritz?
We have about 10cm (4") now with continuous snow fall.
Looks worse than it is so I sent Mrs Nime out to clear the main road.
(but only when she's finished the 200 metre drive first of course)

It took exception to some combination of letters in the link you posted - sorry for its "twitchiness" - I was as bewildered as you.
Just cannie get the Staff these day eh, Our Adders! though what's this about the new Naim Helpline Callcentre being based in Calcutta then? I mean they speak more properer English there than what most of the folk on this forum does; nobody'll be able to bleedin understand their technical adwice, innit
Nime me old Drifter! i Is afraid I iS far too concerned and pre-occuppied with the 'colour crisis' on the main website at present, to concern myself with such petty details as snow depth and paying postmen their tips
Talking of BMW ! didn't they bale out Rover once? on yer bike
N.B. George Old Mucker, A shooting party en-route to a shoot is fine, but those participating in said shoot, are not shooters, they are guns
