Maybe you should see a doctor about this!

All for 63 = Problem....

But, if they were 72, 63, 98, 67, 63, 112, 65, 63.... yep, there were three for 63....

But I could be wrong....

Fair enough Patrick but the same argument can be applied for comments and posts on this subject.

If it was only one or two disenchanted threads or posts, one could brush it off but there are so many these days!

But I could be wrong!

Because they get abused by drunk drivers.

Because they get attacked by P crazed A-holes, and when they pop one at them they have to endure a media frenzy trying to blame them for everything that ever happened to sweet little 'Johnny'.

Because they have to wear really badly fitting shirts and what can only be described as 'slacks' - I mean really get the buggers a decent outfit that inspires respect and power.

Lets not even mention quotas ......

some cops are good and do their job with the intention of making communities safer (which is why they exist), but some are absolute pricks who were bullied as kids and find this is their chance to get back at people, while being covered under the law. much respect to investigators who put rapists killers and theives behind bars, no respect to the cop trying to cover his pay

True but unfortunate. I can still remember being young and being respectful and a little scared of the plod. I also remember getting a physical kick up the bum by one when I was about 11-12 for being a cheeky bugger

Kids these days would probably pull a knife and have a go at them then complain to the media.

All of it goes to the Govt.... to pay for all the fluffy bunnies and cute kittens....

Imagine if there was a commission based ticketing regime.....

Or flybuys....

Could be... could be....

Could also be an old house wives tale... I know a friend of a friend whose neighbour told the lady across the road who told her nana who told the shopkeepers dog that blah blah blah...

But I could be wrong....

Just doesn't happen in my world, is all I am saying.
