was chatting to a copper in the P/O recently. she was behind me, but had no parcel or whatever, so I can only assume she was buying stamps.
I asked her is she listens to music in the police car. she said she didn’t. she did say that she watches videos on her phone though. but only in quiet times.
Not sure if it counts but I was pissed as fuck at a wedding yesterday fairly near Cardiff univeristy buildings and a passing couple of plods told me that I seemed to be having a nice time in that sort of classic passive aggressive way that probably meant stop shouting cops for fertiliser
My ex is friends with a couple of them. Well, one is still a policeman, the other left after an incident where she was held hostage at gunpoint.
We had them round for dinner, and while talking to the still-copper I mentioned something I didn’t want to do and unthinkingly accompanied it with the “finger gun to head” motion, trigger pulled and everything. When have I ever made that motion at any other point in the last ten years? Never, that’s when.
Couple of months back when they kicked down our flat’s door to check that there wasn’t a dead elderly lady there.
Neighbour down the road reported they hadn’t seen their elderly neighbour for a while. Said her car hadn’t moved for ages either. Turns out that was our car. Po-po linked this to our flat, came round twice to find no one in during working hours, so kicked in the door. Pretty sure there’s a phone number on the vehicle registration form they could have called to ascertain that the car wasn’t owned by an old lady, but there you go.
