The direct experiences with police I've had
have mostly been negative, from them failing to follow up on a clear cut case of my brother being beaten up in the middle of a high street, to their utter lacksadaisal approach to our house being robbed, and stones being thrown at the front windows, with one policeman going so far as to say 'well if you choose to live in a house like this, then you're bringing it on yourself really' thus proving he was probably related to the little cunts that did it.

As an institution although there are problems I'm fairly content with them as a whole.

£100 of your money? Let's not be silly now Monty, you know you don't have that much.

it's irrelevant.
I believe 'my' 'money' to be safe. It was very funny indeed.

Nah this was when we lived upnorthish, and had the cheek to buy the old village manor house which apparently according to the thoroughly inbred locals made us demons.

I worked with a fellow
whose parents committed the same outrage in Wales. Their house was burnt down by jealous Taffys.

Bloody Welsh. No better than beast of the field.

Except at Rugby
At which they are significantly better than the English

I'm pretty sure that come the 6 nations
this may well not prove to be the case. They aren't significantly different from the side we comfortably beat in Cardiff earlier this year.

Depends whether a) Johnson goes and b) a decent captain is chosen to replace Mad Dog
Besides, even if it's not that the Welsh are better at Rugby per se, just better at raising their game come the major tournaments, I think they'll settle for that

The whole team needs a clear out.
It's sad that our best player was nearly deported because of Visa problems last year.

We got off lightly then
the irony that the locals completely failed to appreciate was that the price of a nice detached five bed in Surrey, was more than adequete to cover the house costs given the location and being surrounded by inbreds
