South West madness

It appears that Fire Chiefs in part of the South West have been stricken down by the famed South West P.D. madness.

PC Jonathan Inglis & Police Dog Mac.

Formidable.
That is a big word to describe something.
A big word with a big meaning and clearly relating to a big relationship. A relationship that has an unfortunate ending.  This relationship between PC Jonathan Inglis and his Central Scotland Police Rottie team mate Mac has come to an unfortunate end. Mac had been diagnosed with bone [...]

Latest reports suggest that Bonsai Bank is cutting its branches
and trading in the Kamikaze Bank has ceased after its shares nose dived. [...]

A few friends.

A few friends went to London as Inspector Gadget was supposed to be there, somewhere. I could not believe the length of the queue to get in to see him, there must have been thousands. He was allegedly giving out free baseball caps but had run out before the mob stuck at the end of [...]
