What's made you grumpy today?
Knackered and achy from work, people changing plans at the last second and overheated my brakes a little bit earlier coming towards a corner with a junction on it, which is blind, that i was taking, took it easy the rest of the way
Not woken up in the best of moods (having my alarm go off, but the volume turned right down didn't help cos it didnt wake me up...)
Again, been at work under an hour, and have nothing to do. So bored of being bored!! Really wish they'd make my job a work-from-home role. IMO no reason why not... f*ckers...
Other stupid head stuff.

hehe. Wondered how long it would be until you saw 'real' policing and turn into every other Police Officer I know .

I still enjoy doing it, but they say they will do things to help, and then nothing happens...might just be the force I'm in, a lot of people who have moved have said that its one of the worse.
Going to stop for a few months and sort some stuff out, then see if I still want to do it.

The guy I know is a dog handler and its just major frustration with him. Busts his balls catching people, getting all the paper work done (and done well) only for the CPS to give them a slap on the wrists and let them back out only for them to get caught doing the same thing the next day!
I have stopped watching those "Police Camera Action" type programmes. It drives me barmy to see the way the scrotes are allowed to talk to the police. The outrageous waste of time and money to bring these vermin to court, only for them to get a ridiculous sentence, - that's assuming the criminal's protection service (CPS) have the balls to get them to court. Bring back Gene Hunt-style policing I say!
My blade alloys lasted 3 weeks since I finished spraying them up all nice and sparkly in rover gunmetal grey. I managed to hose one down with petrol this morning which crinkled the fresh laquer on one, and my wife kerbed one good and proper this afternoon, tore a chunk of alloy out. Going to need to respray one, and touch in the other. Damn and blast etc!

A few weeks ago, we had a bloke walk into a 4 star hotel on our patch, order a meal and drink 5 pints of lager to go down with it; then announced that he didn't have any money.
He was arrested and refused to answer any questions or even give his name and address for about 4 hours. He was offered the chance to get a friend to pay the bill by card over the phone but refused. After being questioned and having had two cops making enquiries for an entire shift, the CPS decided that he would simply claim in court that he wasn't given ENOUGH opportunity to get someone to pay the bill on his behalf and therefore stood a very good chance of getting a successful Not Guilty plea in and therefore would not proceed with the case.
A whole day wasted for two experienced cops, and that goes on hundreds of times a day all over the country.
Actually, what's really made me grumpy is the fact that this time last week I was in Nice in the South of France. I suppose everybody gets the post holiday blues, but the weather was so brilliant, and here it's so crap, and that's what makes it worse.
We took Mrs. Beard's Alfa 156 and the journey was 1,059 miles in each direction. On the way down we went Autoroute all the way which was a bit boring, and once we got down near Lyon, the traffic was dreadful. On the first day we covered 645 miles between 7am and 7pm, yet the next day it took 10 hours to get just over 400.
We visited Monaco one day and the number of incredible cars was such that I deleted the pictures I'd taken as I was getting blase about the number of Ferraris, Lambos and Astons that were going round the Casino Square with the drivers just posing.
A couple of days later we were in Cannes and after a walk round left the ladies (we went with another couple) outside a cafe while the two blokes went in search of cigarettes. When we returned, it seemed that Jeremy Clarkson had walked past with his wife. About 15 minutes later I went to check the time of the next bus back to Nice and while I was away, it seemed Clarkson came back again and Mrs. Beard tried to delay him until I returned. Eventually he excused himself and walked off, at almost the same moment as I came round the corner. Missed him again.
On the way back we missed out the Autoroute and went through the (I think) the Rhone Alps which were nothing short of spectacular. We stopped for lunch at a great little cafe in a village and made Reims, a journey of 600 miles, by 9 that night. 600 miles in 11 hours. Not bad considering the route.
The closer we got to the Channel, the cloudier and wetter it got, until when crossing the water, visibility was down to about half a mile.
Welcome home.

Thats exactly what I want to do over the next couple of weeks. Got any tips Beard?
Use a credit card for tolls, have a codriver ready with said credit card and keep tollcards somewhere where you can find them easily
Where you going in particular?
Looking for a new job... Pathetic people at Sainsburys... this is the 5th time they have p1ssed me about. Fed up of it. :bang:
Looks like i'll have to make myself some work seeing as there are NO jobs around this part of the country.
Time to buy some small cars I will eventually have £4,000 to spend on a car for myself. Im determind!
Just when I think everythings going back on track it just falls to bits.
Time to go vent my anger on OCD cleaning my Punto That'll make me happy.

My dad goes to the local co-op every other day rather than doing one massive weekly shop. He has just got a £90 fine for parking too long in their car park when infact he went once in the morning and once in the afternoon on the same day.
What a joke. Im sure he can sort it with the manager when the manger is back from holiday but still.

£90?! Bloody hell lol.
Thats what I would do after reading threads on here and the internet. It is a company called civil enforcement ltd.
I had a look at the letter the fee is actually £45 then at 14 days it goes upto £90, but that's all mind games to make you think your saving your self £45 when infact your giving £45 away.
