    Toad and Heathie (local Milton coppers) used to do breath testing ( 0.08 in those days ) opposite Mollymook Cemetary with a slab of VB in the back seat of the patrol car. If you were a local and just over the limit, you could give them the car keys and pick em up at the station next day.
    A lot of locals would go over, then we'd hang around for a few beers and see who else blew the bag.
    I heard one night that the Sarge had to come down in the Paddy Wagon to ferry 2x merry constables and a rabble of locals back to the station to sober up. Patrol car sat there for a few days because someone took the Patrol car keys instead of their own.

    Those old school coppers were great blokes, good coppers and real members of the community - d1ckheads got wallopped and decent folk were looked after.

    Today's Police are mostly decent blokes - but the way the force/law is run, it turns many of them into angry frustrated mongrels. 3x years in the Police force would mess with most peoples attitudes.

    .................which is why we'll all be getting a raid from the anti-terrorist squad for our recent comments on guns, bombs, and fireworks.

    Troppo - 350 chev on methanol...... - now THAT'S DRINKING !!!! (about 8 litres a minute if I remember right)

    "Can't" is a dirty 4 letter word.
    If someone says "Can't" , take the "T" off the end and brew it.
    Sip on a mugfull, relax, and take a look at what you've got left to work with.

    Was verbally assaulted at the counter of a new servo this morning. Bloke nudged his face into mine, as I was waiting for a swing to enable me to do the same. This was as I was trying insert my Visa Card in the terminal in front of the operator.
    There was a minor single que at the till and this bloke was behind me, Servo opened another till and the bloke walked around me and took up front spot at the newly opened till.
    I said Thanks Mate for Pushing In.
    Then it all happened. Operator was close to hitting panic button as this bloke was going off and swearing in my face (ugly bloke too with bad skin cancer/sun damage problems to his face.
    Refrained from action knowing there are some 25-30 camera's in this mini IGA Apco servo.
    Got his rego/car make, Thought he was gone try and accelerate & run me over as he had the chance to try on departure, although I was ready to jump. He lives in my area and with a highly distinguishable new high end luxury vehicle will be easy to notice on the road.
    Cheers Garry

    Who would want to mess with an RSM, assuming it stands for "Regimental Sargent Major", which btw I always figured this name was an ex army man.

    Hey Cadase. Turn no 1 into a bumper sticker and I'll buy some to slap on some customers windows. Make sure they are extra strong stickers.

    Need some good karma sent our way. Last week our poor old ute needed new front suspension to get it through rego, then on Friday evening something snapped in the gear box and Mark had to bunny hop it home in first gear. Fast track to last night and the new gear box is finally in so Mark is back on the road today working in drizzly rain. Question is, should we get a towbar put on the Honda CR-V so we can hire a trailer for times like this.

    Well done Gazza for holding your composure...

    I stoped at the lights last week, heard a horn blasting behind me and this young guy was going troppo because I didnt go around the corner as the light went from orange to red, I stared back at him in the mirror, he kept going so I got out and went up to him and gave him a gob full. He went red in the face and didnt say a word back. I thought later I am getting to old to be doing that lol

    Hi grasshopping
    Would not hurt to a towbar fitted to your Honda CR-V. Could be very handy as a back up. I should do the same with my falcon.
    Cheers

    Thanks Dean for the support,

    You know its been rewinding in my mind the "what ifs" and the stare I gave whilst he drove off with me in front of his vehicle as I walked to mine.
    Been mowing and thinking about it.
    Going to Mounty Beauty Holiday Centre with me wife and caravan late tomorrow (Friday) arvo returning to work on Tuesday. That should get it of me mind.

    Thanks again
    Cheers Garry
