A few thoughts.
Quite a few skills I learnt at School have gone entirely unused but I remain ready.
If anyone needs a rubber brick retrieving from the bottom of a swimming pool by someone wearing pyjamas I'm your man! ?
I ran up to a paramedic today and said " Help, my mates choking on a Quality Street chocolate "
He said " What, the purple one "
I said " Yes, that's him". ???
A pig walks into a pub and orders and drinks 10 pints of lager. As he finishes the last one and prepares to leave the landlord says " Hang on, if you want to use the toilets they are over there"
The porker says " No need mate I'm the little piggy that goes wee, wee, wee all the way home " ??
Apparently Tampax are replacing the strings on their towels with tinsel. This will be for the Christmas period only. ??.

Superb Stokey. That first one brings back some memories mate! Do you also remember having to tie knots in the legs of those pyjamas and then blowing air into them to use them in order to keep you afloat?
Kids nowadays have no idea of the humiliation we went through for no reason in our day!

Stokey. Have you watched DI Ray on ITVX? Interested to know if you agree with the narrative portrayed?

Never watched it Scouse mate so I can’t really comment. My wife usually stops me from watching most cop shows because she says I spoil it by constantly muttering things like “What rubbish” or “that would never happen” or “ that's impossible “ or “ that would be inadmissible in Court” etc etc you get the picture…. ???.

Of all the cop shows I’ve seen I really rated “Morse” ( the original with John Thaw), Hinterland, Wallender and Shetland when Dougie Henshall was in it.

Shows like “Line of Duty” are just risible! ??.

Loved Z cars and Dixon of Dock Green Carlo, in the days before national charlatans called politicians took over the running of the Force who became pawns in the power game. As one of my old bosses used to say, back in the day, “we Police without fear or favour because our shoulders are broad and we can bear it”!
Some great actors too, like Jack Warner, Brian Blessed, Frank Windsor, Christopher Ecclestone….
