The PoliceSitting 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.

Farsical marchThe young socialist worker party were out in full force (complete with mega phone) in Manchester when the Iraq war kicked off. Joined in with a lot of sitting about in roads and marching about the place.
One afternoon, the mostly badly organised protest was underway. Folloing shouts of 'oooccccuuppppy' we flooded into a lecture theatre at the uni and staged a sit in. No one cared and after about 5 mins we started to trickle out realising what a pointless mission this really was. The march then continued to a major A road in and out of the city (the Parkway for those who know the area)...walking straight past the police station and into a group of police, mounted police and TAU (Tactical Assault Unit) riot vans. I'd say the police matched us 2 to 1. We were then marched back, in pairs past lines of filth either side - very reminiscent of country dancing I thought, had there been am jig playing.
