Have I ever phoned the Police? Hell Yes

How many times? Lost count, its part of my job.

Did I ever get a satisfactory response? Rarely

Oh well being as the police are so concerned about crime statistics and clear up rates, they are going to have a little shock soon, we'll expect the Chief Constable on his hands and knees before this is over.

See the economic downturn has meant an increase in people doing runners from taxis, let alone the more serious stuff that goes on. We requested a meeting with the local station high ups, who sent an inspector and a sergeant around for a chat. We explained that people are doing runners from taxis, its illegal and the Police seemingly do nothing about it. Now we freely admit that its a crime that is a pain in the arse to report as the driver loses more money in time off the road reporting the incident and its easier for us in the office to bump them a few extra jobs until they've made their money back than it is to report the crime. Thing is its an ever growing problem and enough is enough, We know that individual drivers have tried reporting runners to the police and get fobbed off too so we thought we'd ask nicely. Since we started recording the runners, in three months we are up to 1200 different events, thats 1200 crimes, you can see why they won't want us to report them cant you. Thats nearly 5,000 crimes a year for Merseyside Police - that in itself will totally **** up the clear up rate. Its a hugely substantial hit to the statistics. Watch this space....

Why don't taxi drivers ask for the money upfront, if it's not metered?

Because

(a) You never know how much the fare will be until you get there

( People change their mind half way through a journey as to where they are going

© People never tell you that they want to go on somewhere else afterwards

(d) It's rude and likely to cause an argument before the journey has started

"Its our policy for you to surrender your mobile phone / wallet until the payment is made"

dont like it, get out of the car and walk...

lads, i dont know what you're on about, footballs a saturday game, REAL fans know this so only games saturday 3pm actually matter.

get your facts right ffs.

theyve ALL disappeared since their loss, not just glaston...

haha...

one of these little words removed. fire will teach him.

'wasting police time' would get mentioned very quickly then neil, when they realise there was no knife.

Yes - twice

Once because when we were living in flats in uni, the woman upstairs was being kicked shitless by her fella and screaming like mad

Second time was this Saturday just gone after my mrs got attacked by a staff while walking to the paper shop. Police response "we'll warn the owner".

That dog best hope I dont see it. At least put down humanely would spare it hours of suffering that i'll make sure it has.

Passing through Neath is fine.

The problem comes when you stop.

Another place that is the end of the earth is Beddau.

And I bet her house is three times the price of mine! Hail the valleys lifestyle, surrounded by smack heads, roiders and staffs running free, but the house is cheap as ****.

My Dad's originally from Swansea, loads of our relatives live there, my Dads cousin's a copper there, he's always got a tale to tell about the Valleys.

Neath, Merthyr, Aberdare and Treorchy aren't the nicest of places... theres a reason the valleys have the reputation they do.

Still, cheap ass house.

you had a gastric band at the same time? good job sir... sorry madam...

nobody likes fat women.

"Oi fought the lads were triffic. What a shame that french cant was a propa doiver. We only had 2 facking points when I turned up. Oi dahn't blame the fans for facking booing. They should boo when we have off days, not that we've had very facking many since oi've got here, you facking caaaaahhhnt!

Oi'm not a facking wheelah deelah!"

I haven't seen Harry's post match interview, but my guess is it went a little something like that?

"But as ya not mentioned Ashley yungggg, ah think hed be triffic here at spuhs, we cud recrate tha dubble of 61/62, ya know what i mean?"

yeah thats where my comment stems from may not have been immediately obvious now i look at it lol

And I bet her house is three times the price of mine! Hail the valleys lifestyle, surrounded by smack heads, roiders and staffs running free, but the house is cheap as ****.

I know that. My gf is just outside Swansea and I can't believe how cheap her house was. Thankfully, it's not quite the valleys so we don't have to put up with what you do Chris but for the price of property down that way, I'm seriously considering jumping ship.

Theres a contractor in the office whos from london - couldnt believe the other day that someone was buying a house for "just" £140,000.

Mine was less than that but unfortunately bought in November 2007 - the peak of prices of all time

baby nephew being born any minute

sister in law in delivery room right now

And I bet her house is three times the price of mine! Hail the valleys lifestyle, surrounded by smack heads, roiders and staffs running free, but the house is cheap as ****.

yes but player ratings are submitted by collections of 'scouts'

He's shite.

Adds nothing to them at all - not cut out for this level. Championship at the very, very best.

The Liverpool fans must have given him a good rating on Football Manager so Everton would sign the useless shit.

For the purposes of statistical analysis, the teams that score the 2nd goal of a game tend to go on to win it, so therefore Spurs won yesterday by getting the 2nd of the game.

I'm sorry but you just can't argue with stats.

Finally, Spurs won yesterday. My hands are now over my ears. LalalalalalaalalaLALALALALAAAAAA I CANT HEAR YOU!

It clearly didnt count because Arsenal traditionally play their u15 team but this time low and behold rocked up with a few first teamers for measure.

Therefore should be replayed. Also, Spurs' players minds were on the passing (RIP by the way...) of their double winning legend. So the game shouldnt have been played therefore null and void.

no doubt they were kicked off the ball all over the place last night and really didnt deserve to lose?

cant go playing that physical brand of football against lower league teams away from home, simply wont work as shown by that result last night

I thought the amnesty date for 5 yellows was around mid-march? Didnt think it was at the turn of the year? Or has this changed?

More clown type comments on WM tonight

Alexander Flob, after originally being their most "exciting signing since Dugarry", is now going to have trouble adapting to the Premier League after playing in Spain.

You couldn't make it up

Didnt he spend last year in germany? Where they play at the same tempo as us?

Or even what, 6 years at Arsenal?! The most freeflowing side in the country... can't live with pace of English football, don't try your luck at Arsenal...

a good footballer, wouldnt call him a quality guy though!

RJA1703 its wheelybin time I'm afraid

Shit son, i checked the last 2 pages as well and it hadn't been posted. Is it too late to apologize?

Page 245 by Gingerlad I'm afraid. Rob will be along shortly. :winkold:

Beaten too it by a ginger as well, how depressing.

^^^^ Funnier than most of the suggestions in this thread!

well do the job and ban the prick.

A Villa fan has claimed that Spurs have "achieved less" than Villa in the last few years. So when I point out the obvious flaws in this claim, your reaction is to call for me to be banned?

What exactly do you want in this thread? Do you actually wish to read only Villa-praising and Spurs-damning posts, regardless of whether or not they they are based on bullshit, factual errors, wishful thinking and self-delusions?

Or do you prefer actual discussion/debate, with often challenging views epxressed?

Your views arent challenging, they're ridiculous.

Telling facts to you about Spurs is like telling your mother in law that the wife is doing your head in. We're right, you know we're right, but your blind, one-eyed viewpoint on the club is unwaving.

I dont give a shit about what you want to spout on COYS - or whatever 'exclusive' Spurs forum/fora you use, however it doesnt change the fact that you are a prick - something you've acknowledged as fact based on responding to my thread directly.

I dont care about joey55 or that other spurs fan who use this place, or that artetagirl (shes a bit like you, bites so easily) - or whoever - but you spend your day **** around on opposition sites trying to paint a picture that spurs are a huge club (when they aint) and harry is an honest guy... amusement!

prick!

well do the job and ban the prick.

not in an airport!!!!! out of sight, out of public mind!
