This has nothing to do with the Police. I've been searching through the blogger and internet world, and thought I'd show some of the Gems I've discovered.
This is obviously in lieu of a real post.
Bus Slogan Generator - a perfect response to the atheist campaigns on buses.
Natural Harvest - I'm not often lost for words.
Complaint Letter - one of the best complaint letters I have ever read.
FSM - Church of The Flying Spaghetti Monster
McDonald's Job Application - I don't care if it's real, it's just hilarious.
Ukelele Weeps - Showing that even the humble Uke can be elevated to greatness.
More Music Talents - Who needs a slide? Or a second guitarist?
And finally:
My Dream Car - Someone's selling it, and I'm still nowhere near affording it. I'll keep dreaming...

WiFi
Quick question to all the intelligent and/or legal minded readers.
My phone is currently set to pick up WiFi signals automatically; there's regular places that I go with free WiFi access.
It's not unusual to see a car parked outside McDonalds on night duty for ten minutes whilst the driver checks their emails - the WiFi signal that McDonalds provides as a free service apparently stretches out to the car.
I remember recently a man getting nicked for parking outside someone's home address on a regular basis and hacking into their wireless internet access - but how does that compare to my phone? Quite a few times recently on crime scenes, hospital guards, constant watches etc, I've spent the time browsing the net.
On a couple of these occasions I've noticed when leaving the internet that I've actually been connected automatically to someone's private wireless access.
This is surprising in itself, simply because I'm shocked that there are still privately owned unsecured wireless networks around.
However, the point for me is this - am I committing an unwitting offence by doing this?
If so, exactly what..?

Backstreet's Back
Hello - after a house move and an argument with my broadband provider, I'm back.
Thanks for the messages and emails, sorry I haven't posted recently. For those that enjoyed the peace and quiet, sorry I'm back!
Watch this space..
One of the many people that have emailed me in my absence is a Doctor, who many of you may have already heard of - he is Dr Nick Edwards. He's following the route of many successful copper bloggers (and other public sector workers) and has published a book. Check it out, not least because he is brave/stupid enough to use his real name! Clicky Link
A quote from the press release: "Ever-conscious of meaningless targets, the author would like it to be known that 98% of the stories contained in this book were written in under 4 hours."
