What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

Went to the advance screening of the BBC's Britain In A Day programme at the Media Museum in Bradford. Out of 12,000 submissions a bit of what I shot got picked up for the final edit.

It's so short it's of the blink and you'll miss it variety, but I still got my name in the credits. It's out June 11, and I urge you to watch it if you have a spare hour. It's incredible.

N1CE 1 WOT, as said please remind us nearer the time.

I finally found a copper in Northern Ireland who isn't a grumpy bastard today*, greeted me and a mate with a good afternoon as we strolled down the street and seemed generally pleasant... much better than the ones that growl around my street and scarcely aknowledge you if you are at least in the slightest bit polite to them. So indeed if there are some that like Cortinas, let Pete off with a ticking off and are generally polite there seems to be a few decent ones about.

They've let some right fucking knobheads into the PSNI over the last 3-5 years. However, they're now being weeded out. There was a road safety TV advert on here in NI featuring an actual female PSNI officer, with her saying "Drug driving kills" at the end. She was nicked for drink driving a few months after the ad was first shown. It's still on now and again, but she's been edited out.

The 5 recruits who, on passing out, decided to have a night on the lash and went to a nightclub. And promptly handed their personal issue gats to the bouncer for safekeeping.

In fairness though, most peelers here are OK, if a little inept at times. If you don't slabber at them, you'll be grand.

This country isn't as bad as people make out.

Despite general OMG POLICE ST8 that people like to write on the Internet, I think a smile and good manners will take you a long way. If you'd have opened your window and said "oink oink" then that would have been a different story.

Indeed they are Ross! Interview without coffee, and shown the door. They were lucky in a way, as the bouncer concerned was ex-Royal Signals, and he called 999. One of the responding officers was my best mate.

I can vaguely remember that lass appearing in the news, what a tit. From the very limited contact I have had with the police it does seem to be that the older ones are generally pretty good (yesterday the polite coppers was a 50 yo sergeant) whilst a few of the young ones do appear to be wankers with very limited interaction skills but they're generally alright unless you're being a tit to them. It's not a police job I'd sign up for in a hurry, they've got my respect for actually doing it.

As for those 5 recruits, that is almost as braindead as the squaddy who went around N.Belfast boasting about being in the army before finding a surprise in his unlocked car which luckily didn't get him.

Aye, that's the dick that had a big sticker of his regimental badge on the back window of his car.

Must have been some kind of Walter Mitty type looking to get blown up. Being a Paddy I've found that nobody who had served in NI would discuss that kind of thing with you.

When I worked for a company that did work in Faslane submarine base, everybody worked in "the stores". Funny that...

If Big Mike is driving a right hooker Isetta, he will need much, much more than a 56lb weight mounted on the nearside wheelarch to stop the thing tipping over.

Got one of the last weekend tickets for the RR Gathering. Whatever you may think of the forum, the show is awesome and you rally should make every effort to go
