Wanted, Dead or Alive

[Steve Maskery]

I've just bee to Cumbria for a few days with some music friends. We played and sang our hearts out.

On the way back today I stopped at Wetherby services and was accosted by a young police lady. They were taking videos of people for ID parades, so that witnesses can be shown an array of people, without physically having to get people to the police station.

So I sat in a video booth, face front, turn to the left, turn to the right face front. Thank you very much.

Anything to help get the bad guys. I even got a fiver for my trouble. Has anyone else come across this?

Are you sure they didn't get a sample of your DNA at the same time so that they can clone you? Are you really sure?

Noooooooo! One Steve we can cope with but no more please :lol:

Now if they could clone Ray, we could all have one (hammer) (hammer)

If you get picked out at an identity parade Steve do you get a bonus or do they ask for their fiver back? :lol:

Regards Keith

I love the way these threads go off in unexpected tangents.
You're right, I should have negotiated repeat fees.

37 years ago I did a couple of identity parades for the police in Evesham. I was training there and staying on-site over a week-end along with some colleagues. We were supposed to be studying for an exam coming up, but it sounded like too much fun.

The police sent a van for us and we dutifully did the line up at the police station. The little old lady (yup, really) picked out one of my colleagues instead of the alleged perpetrator. The police were quite unimpressed.

I've a feeling we got a couple of quid each.

Steve, did she get your address? She's probably a woodworker when she's not rounding up bad guys and reads UKW. She knows you're building this nice new shed and she'd like to come visit you.

Don't you start. There we 17 of us this weekend and all the women were ganging up on me to sort out my love life.
Apparently I had the pub in the palm of my hand during my amazing rendition of Sweet Caroline, and therefore I should join an Am Dram group to "meet someone".
Another suggestion was that I should get myself a 17-year-old Thai Bride. When I queried what on earth I would have in common with a 17-year-old from any country, it was suggested that I could go for someone older and get a discount.

So don't you flipping well start. This is a Man Cave, not a person cave.

So there.

It was probably an art student and you will shortly be going viral (heavily photoshopped :shock: ).

Steve did you manage to track down Andy Frost? He's in the pub a lot I could talk to him or you can find him here http://www.treeart.co.uk/

Too right Steve, stay as you are womanless, it's far easier. Their not called 'Trouble and strife' for nothing. :lol: A friend of mine has never married and even still lives at home! and has more money and 'toys' than all the rest of us guys that chose the marriage route. He obviously knew something we didn't. :lol:

 

[Baldhead]

I remember I was in the pub one night with my mates (before I was married) and I too was accosted by a police lady, only she wasn't a real police lady, she was more of an exhibitionist..................in the words of Frankie Valley, Oh What A Night!

Sorry Steve I'm guilty of going off on a tangent, happy memories though :lol:

Oi!! You lot can lay off the 'man cave' rubbish! I may be a big lass, but I'm still a lass with a cave full of woodworking tools, bits of wood and plenty of wood-shavings. Aye, I need to get the vacuum out, but it's such a dull activity. I may have to get my missus to do it for me.
