The Police
Sitting in my local pub late one night enjoying the landlord's flexible idea of what constitutes his licencing hours, a bunch of drunk blokes in raincoats burst in. Requesting to be served, one shouted at the barman "It's alright - we're not coppers!"
They were spitting images of Lt. Columbo to a man. The barman laughed them out of the pub.

nicked while writing this!!!
I'm a photogrpaher working for a large agency, and have just finished shooting pics of soap stars (i use the term VERY loosely) at the national soap awards. to send the pics to the agency i take my laptop inot the middle of golders green high st where someone has kindly provided an open wi-fi connection. been doing this for weeks on end now...
tonight, not half an hour ago, two cops pull up behind me and ask what i'm doing
"using a computer" i answered (they're sometimes not too bright). as i continued to explain exactly what i was doing- with the evidence before me - hundreds of pics of d-list celebs in ball gowns etc- and a sheet to match names to faces, they tell me that every security cam in the road is watching me. They think i'm a terrorist with mug-shots of targets! after they watch me for a few moments merrily carrying on with my work, they see that i'm not bullshitting, warn me to watch my computer doesnt get nicked and off they go... To be honest, in a place like this (very high security due to the large jewish population), i'm amazed it took them this many weeks to notice me...
and if u ever see a guy on a laptop on the side of golders high road late at night... wave to me!
