Well well, you live and learn. There was i, thinking that 'blogging' was some deviant sexual practice between consenting bastards in a car park, when in fact, according to DI Drake it's all about keeping a diary and 'expressing yourself'.
The last time i 'expressed' myself, Fingers McGee had his teeth kicked so far down his throat he ate his lunch through his arse. But then i suppose that even an old fashioned copper like me can learn new tricks.
Take this psycho-wotsit profiling that Drake's always on about. I told her, villains don't have any psycho-wotsit worth looking at. The best way of profiling some spotty git who enjoys spraying his name on flyovers and mugging old ladies is to twist his nasty little head round until it comes off. She then accused me of being 'old fashioned'. Too bloody right love, i said. I like being old fashioned. I enjoy oldy-worldy stuff like banging up pimps and murderers. Much better than the modern alternative of feeding them tea and biscuits and asking them if this ink blot reminds them of their first wank.
But, because i am more flexible and accomodating than some tart in a Bankok floor show, i am willing to try anything. Last week, for instance, i cornered a certain Nobby 'Molegrips' Fletcher in the tap room of the Jolly Sailor. He was wanted for armed robbery and assault with intent. He didn't want to come quietly, but, remembering Drake's advice, i reasoned with him. After that, i let DS Carling reason with him. After that we called an ambulance while uniform swept up the bastard's teeth. Being flexible and accomodating i will, of course, have them wrapped and posted to him.
At the moment i am working on a case involving drugs, prostitutes and booze. It requires me to wade chest deep through the shit-infested sewer that lies underneath our cosy little world. But i'm not worried about that. All i care about is that Drake sorts out the disco and DC Skelton gets off his useless arse and sorts out the sandwiches. Otherwise we'll never get to enjoy my birthday party.
Anyway, enough of this bollocks, time to get out there and collar some more scumbags. And all of the above is staying anonymous, because, despite what Drake says, actually you're sodding guilty until i say otherwise.
