The grumpy thread

[Guest Hooli]

I am, I've been applying for a while to escape but no luck yet.

[FakeConcern]

Some utter Cuntburger has broken into Stepdaughter's 306 outside her flat in Plaistow; nicked the stereo. Left a lighter on the front seat, so hopefully the old bill will be there soon and get some dabs / clues.

No glass broken, door apparently ok, so who knows how they got in.

 

Got the standard Peugeot stereo to go back in, but there seems no point, will be for sale soon anyway.... POOSSIBLE ROFFALL?

I wouldn't hold your breath on Police doing anything. A mate of mine had the police come to his house and accuse him of smashing his Mk1 Escrote into another car. When he told them it was in the garage they told him it must have been stolen and he would be liable for any damage done to any other vehicles as he had insurance (?). They then took finger prints on the outside only of the car and told him they found matching prints to a known crim, but couldn't bring any charges as he would say he was just walking past it! When my mate got the car home he found several stereos on the back seat and pliers and various other tools in the front footwell, none belonging to him. Later the Police phoned him and asked if there were any tools in the car and did he own them. He told them they weren't his and he hande them in at Police station, but they refused to finger print any of them. Later they phoned to ask if he had found any stereos in the car. He told them he hadn't and sold them to cover a small amount of his loss! (car was pretty smashed up and had been a tidy blue MK1 2 door Escrote) Oh well!

Plod in useless tossers who do their best to keep most crime unsolved shocker.

Some years ago, plod got in touch with me to return stolen VCR 11 months after it was nicked. It had my previous postcode marked on it in UV pen. From that they contacted my parents, who pointed them in my direction.

 

It was a ropey old Fisher, but it does help plod to ID things if they get marked in the first place...

[garbaldy]

Helps if the 5-0's staffing numbers hadn't been hammered by endless budget cuts, too.

It's nothing to do with that as 26 years ago some towrag broke into my renno 18 and stole the tunebox, once called they couldn't even be bothered to turn up let alone sound as if they cared.

Plod in useless* tossers* who do their best to do their jobs despite being strangled by procedural rules, paperwork and slashed budgets shocker.

Yes, I do know that certain Metropolitan forces are corrupt and/or generally crap, but the average officer elsewhere is far from lazy or useless. They might well be tossers, but I suppose you'd have to ask their family and close friends about that.

[STUNO]

I remember my dad having his lawnmower stolen from the garden shed. He told the police not to  find it. It never ran properly after some kid had put water in the petrol tank, so was useless. There was probably an insurance claim made soon after .

I've had a few cops as mates, stopped talking to them all because they were dishonest arseholes with no social skills.

Funny, I've had a few cops as mates too, they were genuinely awesome people with conscientious and friendly attitudes. I stopped talking to them because they either moved away or died.

[purplebargeken]

I had a mate who became a copper. He was a decent lad and spent years working as a printer before joining the Merseyside police. He turned into a right arrogant, ignorant prick. He went back to the printing firm he'd worked at since being a kid and told them all what a bunch of losers they were. Nice.

 

Yet I have other copper mates who are totally ace people. Shame the odd few spoil it for the majority. Mind you, I also know nurses who are complete cunts. 

[bub2006]

I know a fair few complete cunts. There is a few in every job. Most coppers come across as rude and arrogant because that's how they are and the only way to be with dealing with pissed up tossers and the local ladies caught with trousers round ankles Around back of the regal club. Or us that just Ripley and Derby?

[Sheefag]

This Regal club, where is it exactly?

[BavarianRetro]

Careers Officer:-"Do you have any thoughts on a career?"

Student:-"I've half a mind to join the Police."

Careers Officer:-"That's more than enough."

Its this. We all know there are twats and people just haveing a bad day but how would you feel having to deal with knobheads and scumbags all day who instantly hate you just because of the job you do but who they come crying to as soon as they get a nasty* comment on Facebook or have to work against hundreds of stupid rules and bean counters.

It must be hard for a few of them to turn off the attitude and treat normal people normally.

[bub2006]

Ripley, Derbyshire can't miss it. Bouncers on doors, local lads trying to get on any woman and woman belting seven bells out each other. If you get inside the floors are very sticky

[andy18s]

ASMM meet?.....

[bub2006]

Can do but can't promise it will go without punch ups, arrests or transmitted diseases

I did enjoy that story you told me on Monday... 

[bub2006]

That was a few years ago now. I'm a changed man

[bub2006]

I've the upmost respect for the round here. I'd have banjoed someone by now if it was me

Sounds like a fine establishment

[Negative Creep]

I would have gladly join the police, but always knew I didn't have the mental or physical strength to do so. Of course there are a few arseholes, but for dealing with the scum of society with few resources and having to abide by very strict rules against those who have none, thy have my respect

[xtriple]

I've known loads of 'coppers' and quite a few started out as decent people but a few years of dealing with the dregs soon knocked that out of them. Also known a few who were dishonest scumbags before they joined and did so for their own personal gain... not nice. One had a lovely collection of Porsches dotted around the country.

 

Went out with and later dumped a Sgts daughter and it seemed the entire force of Humbersides finest was then aimed squarely at me. The amount of time they wasted... until they caught me!

[Cavcraft]

These 'police are t***s' type comments always end well* on here.

[bub2006]

I've got respect for the police in general. I couldn't do what they do seeing shit they get some nights.

The police aren't twats though it's the people themselves that are twats, you get them in all forms of work too especially the jobs that have a bit of authority,

It's just a good job that the good people outnumber the bad ones.

[Cavcraft]

The passing of Jill Saward. Can't recall a single bloody mention of her (that I noticed) on social media, yet people are tripping over themselves to fawn over deceased pop stars and what not.

How many people could have been as brave and forgiving as her? Precious few, sadly.

The "some kid" part of the above wouldn't be autobiographical, would it...?

How many of us could knock on someone's door to tell them their children had been killed in an accident, or have to look at child pornography ti secure evidence? I doubt I could so respect someone who can.
