  • About me.

    I know enough to know that at 04.00am it gets dark out on the streets. It has done this for the last twenty odd years, to my knowledge and will probably continue for the forseeable future. At some stage in this ‘future’ I shall retire and probably won’t give a damn if it still gets dark at 04.00am. Until then I shall be out there, somewhere, lurking in the shadows because someone, somewhere will be doing stuff they shouldn’t and then, well then I will introduce myself. In the meanwhile I shall try to remain sane and remember why I joined in the first place and try to ignore all the people who piss me off by making the job more complicated than it should be.

    Any opinions contained in posts are mine and mine alone. Many of them will not be those of any Police Force, Police Organisation or Police Service around this country. The opinions are based on many years of working within the field of practical operational Police work and reflect the desire to do things with the minimum of interference by way of duplication for the benefit of others who themselves do not do the same job. I recognise that we all perform a wide range of roles and this is essential to make the system work. If you don’t like what you see remember you are only one click on the mouse away from leaving.

    A Strategic Community Diversity Partnership. We are working harder than ever before in a multi agency innovative way for a clearer vision of a citizen focused framework and a transparently safer community through strategic empowerment to meet the demands of modern and efficient Policing in the 21st Century. We are moving forward and have a real momentum on the ground. We have a real determination to make your community safe. Exactly what does this all mean ? I don’t fully understand but it does sound pretty good. That could be important. If all else fails itis because we have made an honest error of judgement, made inadvertent mistakes and one of our partners has made an administrative oversight. Either way itis someone else’s fault. We have learnt from our mistakes and apologise.

    “We trained very hard, but it seemed that every time we were beginning to form up into teams we would be reorganised. I was to learn later in life that we tend to meet any new situation by reorganising. It can be a wonderful method of creating the illusion of progress while creating confusion, inefficiency and demoralisation.”......Petronius

    Taxation is just a sophisticated way of demanding money with menaces.

Pit Bulls.

No matter how big you are, how hard you think you are or how fearless you think you are there is always something out there that can cause you problems.

Take pit bulls.

Can be nasty pieces of work in the wrong hands. Very high tolerance to pain and generally fearless.

They normally never come off worse. Until now.

 

This little sweetheart seriously pissed of a porcupine and had to make a journey to the vets in California to have over 1300 quills removed. Under sedation of course. Lucky vet.

The point is, don’t mess with porcupines.

  1. Ouch ouch ouch. The second picture looks like a porkypine.
    “That’ll learn him” as they tend to say round these parts.

    It kind of reminded me of those emails you get showing pics of people with the elaborate body piercings.

  2. Aaaahhhh, poor thing.
    I feel so sorry for the dog.

  3. He’s probably thinking
    ’sh*t , that was one ‘bad a*s’ hedgehog!’

  4. Under all the 5 o’clock shadow it is actually a Bull Terrier, more commonly known here as an English Bull Terrier.

  5. “note to self, just because I am a walking pair of teeth, doesn’t mean I can kick the spikey rats ass”

  6. Oh, that’s awful. That poor dog! I’m glad I kept my dog from one. We had a porcupine here. The thing had climbed up a tree. I didn’t know they could climb trees. It took me a minute to figure out what it was up there.

  7. Having a body covered in spikes < Having a big pair of teeth it seems…
