6 hours 40 minutes...

Let's say about 7 hours, to allow for a 'comfort break' or two...

Nobody should need more than 6 hours 40 minutes

(Although of course he never really said that 640K thing...)

The whole new sprouting of FMB phenomena reported elsewhere must be localised, and localised somewhere other than where I live, as the bar I assumed would (on the basis of earlier posts on these fora) have lots of FMB-bearing women (no, not you Bear) only had the expected bints of the expected quality and attire

[NickFitz]

However I had an opportunity to gain further insight into the the reality of Community Policing

[NickFitz]

The in-reality-non-FMB bar is located within the immediate vicinity of assorted other bars and fast-food emporia.

(This is what the neighbourhood within which I reside has degenerated into over the last few years. It has in fact made it a more interesting place to live... the way bombs make the Tube a more interesting place to travel... )

[NickFitz]

Having popped outside for a breath of "Fresh Air" (aka "Golden Virginia") I found one of our community police officers chatting to the doormen.

It transpired that a little while before, he had nipped into a local fast food emporium and bought a burger for his supper, whereupon a local chav (already present) gave him a load of verbal about wasting taxpayers' money by eating when he should be policing the streets

He pointed out to the peasant that, as part of the policy that the police should remain out there policing the streets, they (police officers, not chavs) are actively encouraged to grab a bite where they happen to be working, rather than bogging off back to the canteen at the nick a couple of miles away.

Of course, this justification and explanation was lost on the chav, who kept on mooing the words "I pay your wages!" (although he almost certainly doesn't.)

[NickFitz]

Having heard this constable's tale of woe, I headed back into the bar; but only after telling him:

"I'm a taxpayer and I pay your wages!

"Take the rest of the night off."
