Fritz von Bobby Peel was PM too of course*


A dash of Roses Lime always picks up a dead beer I find*( rare in Berlin by the way except in cocktail bars frequented by posers and journos on tabs)

Under the future leader of the oppsition (if he doesn't just resign in a sulking fit and leave all his golden cycles behind that is, when Cameron soon takes over?), CSO's will be the norm across the board (thought of as real coppers by kids, as they'll actually be on the streets). They will cost virtually nothing, except their 'beloived uniforms' of course which I feel attracts most of them in the first place, innit*



Fritz von Real coppers days are numbered it seems*

N.B. Who's noticed how the PFI word is suddenly being mentioned quite often in various circles over the last few days then, Cos In certainly have!

P.S. Unelected Council Wallers have been pushing their weight around in UK for a few years now, as well as giving out fines etc, something previously unheard of in Britain. British political apathy is legendary, so do you honestly believe that just because these uniformed clowns don't possess a warrant card, they're not gonna be nicking highly experienced and educated taxi drivers for obviously breaking the highway code (in their eyes), I don't think so, give em a few weeks, and an extra stripe or three*

Apparently the English language is nearing 1000,000 words, though I always thought that Thru & Tho were Yankee?

How about Ray-lea as a girl's name - recently heard by a friend of mine in my home town in Essex (say it with a strong Eastenders accent with a rising emphasis on the last syllable - raelEAA). The first thing I thought of was Rayleigh Weir on the A127 near Southend-on-Sea or that she might acquire the unfortunate nickname Bike.

Mind you my son is named after a certain Canadian singer-songwriter.

Andy

Ritchie Cunnigham's little sister was called Joni too, strange name for a lad tho innit! there again my Mother's first name is Meredith (Taff I think) , and the Yanks use it for blokes!

I think you need to distinguish between warranted and non-warranted enforcement officer, Fritzy boy.

But then again, you won't really be bothered about this topic anyway, will you?**

Fritz von I note a deafening silence over British atrocities towards their Irish neighbours over the last couple of centuries, just imagine if they'de not been able to run to the States for help and sanctuary, they'd probably be all wiped out by now, sounds Oh so similar dunnit?*

P.S. There's still plenty of anti-Irish institutionalised brutality/Racism going on in English jails (TODAY NOW), perhaps this should be discussed instead of Lording it over foreign affairs of which one knows nothing in the run of things (only passing by things)*

PPS And I do not refer to Political hatred here either:

That's exactly why I said it Our Andy, do you honestly believe that when a few CSO's do good deeds the Public will give a damn either way, as far as I'm concerned Unelected Council officials break the Laws of the Land Daily simply by existing in a so-called democacy (Do they carry Warrant cards? Do they fuck! and please no Citizens arrest baloney., it just doesn't wash me old mate*

These things usually go round in circles, don't they? For example look at area's where traffic cops have been reduced. Whats happening in those areas to AIC's and deaths... But I do take your point..

I think in the very near future it will be a question of Police morale across the board Our Andy. It seems to me over recent years far too much local and national politics has entered into daily policing affairs, with senior commanders wether they be gold, silver or bloody rusted tin, being put into compramising positions of 'Policy' by the government, and very often 'Totally unelected officials from local er, authorities, having a say, as money is inevitably involved.


Fritz von I recall firemen striking in the 70~s, in one case literally next to the cop shop in E17, and bad vibes between mates ensued big-style, plenty of MBE's for Military stand in staff though later on.

At least SERVING Coppers Union bossess etc, speak their minds here, and in Public, without constant fear of political interference.

One thing about Howard and even Reece, as ex Top Coppers of the land (ie, Home Secretary's) they listened to their 'professional in the field' advisors (serving people) unlike Thatcher even (Militarily) and obviously Rumsfeld, a recent example (that everybody knows anyway). Decent Home Secretary's make all the difference too, and although I'm no Tory, I'm pretty miffed with the latest rabble of Prime Ministerial arse-lickers to be honest*

Fritz von You know it makes sense*


Rumsfeld reminds me more of Senator McCarthy by the day, even Bushy's blind to it, it seems? though we all know his Dad's still the boss anyway don't we, and Dubya's terrified of him, and not making his Grade as he always has been, that's why he's dangerous to us all*

As there was a 'lively' little thread on here a few months back with everybody else telling each other how great the Ossies are, etc, etc, (I did see the clip by the way) I found this little recent snippet rather interesting in regard of showing the whole picture, innit*

TOURISM Australia's "So Where The Bloody Hell Are You?" ads caused a stink at the Broadcast Advertising Clearance Centre last month and were subsequently banned in Britain, prompting the Australian Tourism Minister Fran Bailey to opine: "The regulators have clearly misplaced their sense of humour and this from the country that brought us Benny Hill, the Two Ronnies and little Britain."

Fair dinkum, you might say, except that when a spoof of their own original ad appeared on an online spot that reminded the Australians of the recent Cronulla race-riots and their record on refugees, altering the sign off to "So where the fucking hell are you?" - Tourism Australia failed to see the funny side. Downwind media, which produced the parody, was threatened with legal action. Ms Bailey had said previously that: "Based on our research the British are loving our cheeky sense of humour." A shame then, that Tourism Australia isn't loving ours.

OK, what's the difference between 1 and 2? 1 again?

So the real question is: what's the difference between 0 and 1? Tip: its not 1.


Could be 100% could be no answer exists at all at all, innit*


Fritz von Your lucky number's one*

Being the speculative unproveable theory that it is, with no strings attached either in a Binary way o'course*

Fritz, all I know is, if the answer isn't one it's going to make close football games a bit of a problem.

As England is world renowned for it's first class car repairs and MOT Certificates, one would imagine that a faulty car en-route home after being warned by a CSO to get it fixed, and subsequently having an accident as a result, the CSO would be liable, and the er, insurance wouldn't pay out, not to mention criminal charges being made against said CSO if persons were actualy injured or worse as a result of this, On yer way Sir, you'll be Sober ammorra won't you Grand Master, innit*


Fritz von Automatic fine here for not having first aid box, and/or warning triangle thingy, as well as 'knowingly driving with faulty lighting, etc, etc, simply no discussions.'


P.S. Nice little things red squiddels aren't they (all we have here, though they can carry rabies too), I love the Ikea idea from Nottingham of sending highly trained car park attendants to protect Our Mick's property in Rumania that he told us all about (afore the guitar lessons naturally the old Gypsy King), and they'll apparently (only a rumour mind) stop the Blue Danube with one swipe of their flourescent jackets, innit*

God only knows how many strings I busted in the first few months*


Fritz von I reckon Our Mick should stick to learning to play the Serpent, he's a natural born windman*

Mind you to bust a gut is a totally different hairy ball game entirely innit !

Dear Fritz,

Do you know the funny story of old Handel at a rehearsal one day, who found the playing of his serpent player very poorly tuned?

The great man told his player:

"Dat varse not der serpent vich tempeted Eve!"

Hay hoe, Hay nony noe. Fredrik
Posted on: 17 April 2006 by Berlin Fritz
Of course if Our Mick treats it like a purse he'll be well away in no time, amongst other lifelong string pulling naturally*


Fritz von I don't know what was more worserer Tarquers puppy comment or George Friedrich's?*

Dear Fritz,

You had me worried there for second. For reasons I cannot disclose in this public arena, I thought you had blown my cover! I am half foreign!

I thought Gianluigi's comment entertaining in the right sort of way, and then I read TMP's gloss, and laughed out loud at not seeing it!

TTFN Fredrik.
