See Derek, Alex understands!
I'll let you into a secret, the murderer is usually the most famous actor in it.
Anyway, all this talk about work is interupting my Port Studies. :)

1 1/2 hour :!: Shoot, we only get 1 hour here, exlude 20 minutes of commercials, and that leaves 40 minutes to arrest AND convict the guy. Alan, you guys are slipping, this is the 21st century man :lol:

Here are the highlights from the past few days at work; I got into a fight, stopped a guy carrying a loaded gun, 2 foot chases, one car chase, a car stolen with a 5 year old in the backseat, a few domestic violence cases, searched a house for a parolee gang member with a gun (found him), [side note on that last one...nothing is scarier than searching a house for a guy you know has a gun, doesn't want to go back to jail and has nothing too lose]. Those are just the highlights and don't include all the other stupid calls (my 5 year old won't listen to me.....that is not a police problem BTW :roll: )

Where is that bottle of Port...... :lol: :lol: :lol:

Andy - you and Alan clearly deserve all the port you can carry. But if either of you come to my house to collect then please give me enough warning to get in several cases of Bin 27.

Andy,

When you put all the highlights together it sounds impressive - but if you re-write the paragraph to include donuts, hotdogs, bananas up the tailpipe, free drinks at the back door, hot chicks asking to see your trunceon etc, etc it would seem more real :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Derek,
I'm sure I speak for Andy as well, when I say...'Sleep soundly, while we're on watch...and it's all part of the Service! :lol: :lol: :lol:
Just remember, Crime doesn't crack itself!'
I've got to stop now. One of the lads has the match on at his house, and his Mrs does lovely home made biscuits! :D

Biscuits/Pastries?

Andy will think that biscuits are some scone-like creature, whilst we all know that Alan means proper biscuits, what Andy may call "cookies". Where the pastries came in I'm not sure but I'm starting to get hungry.

I'm also wondering how Andy thinks he can post on a thread patently for the "Club for people whose name begins with 'Al' who were born in 1963 and like Port plus their friend Derek who wasn't born in 1963 but has some 1963 Port that he will share with the Als at a forthcoming off-line somewhere in rural (maybe urban) England" when he obviously doesn't qualify. Unless we write a rule that all policemen can wander in and out when they like - just like real life (as seen on The Bill).
I'm telling you - Port is from Portugal.

Alex, [img]421902320_a9740af4d0_m.jpg[/img]
you may as well...coz the buggers do that anyway! They can get where gas couldn't.
Next thing is you'll be opening our select Club to people like Roy, just coz he knows a bit about Port!
I feel we need a meeting to thrash these things out...and of course to bump off Derek to get to his 63!

OK guys, I must tell you that the NN63 has now been inducted into the witness protection program and is now labelled as Cruz LBV. Morrisons have taken the bottle into their custody and hidden it amongst other bottles with the same label.

All members of the "Club for people whose name begins with 'Al' who were born in 1963 and like Port plus their friend Derek who wasn't born in 1963 but has some 1963 Port that he will share with the Als at a forthcoming off-line somewhere in rural (maybe urban) England and a guy called Andy from Disneyland LA who loves Port but wasn't born in 1963 and was born in a very unfortunate year and would like to have been born in 1963" should now go to Morrisons, buy a bottle of Cruz LBV and post a tasting note here. The person who posts a score higher than 3/100 will have stumbled across the re-labelled NN63 :?
