Be Excellent To Each Other

Richard 'Fucking' Brunstrom, bane of motorists, "mad mullah of the traffic Taliban", has finally retired.

Good riddance, I think. This man is the figurehead of the modern British copper. You have to drive riding on the brakes down hills in case your speed creeps up 3mph and there's one of his boys in blue hiding inside a cunningly disguised horsebox or builder's van with a fucking camera waiting to nick you. Meanwhile, drunken yobs run rampant on the streets randomly assaulting people and vandalising property because they know the cops won't do anything about it apart from give their victim a crime reference number.

I like his gansta look sideways hat though.

Have you considered writing for the Daily Mail, Meaty?

Good riddance, Cuntstrom.

When you're a victim of crime twice in a year and the cops don't do fuck all, I'll recommend you to my editor.

So if they didn't do fuck all, they must've done something.

You're too hard on the police. They do a difficult job in tough circumstances.

I remind you my Metro was broken into four times, and the Civic twice.

Brunstrom would say that's your fault for owning a hot hatch. Unfortunately the 'I'm innocent because I'm not Hitler' defense wouldn't work up there, car ownership to him makes you a mutant Stal-o-Hitler-ini.

Hitler gave us the beetle. Stalin? The trabby.

You could always, put the car in a lower gear when going down hill.. but I guess you know that..

My Civic was a 1.4 or 1.6, you loon. It was in no way hot. It wasn't even lukewarm.

And the police did very little apart from express sympathy. I understand there's little they can do, which is unfortunate, but not their fault. Eventually I took the hint and stopped living in scummy places; since moving out of Cardiff I've had zero problems in six years.

It won't be a problem once we've got those cars that electrocute thieves like in Robocop.

Yup. Downhill in third, more or less keeps it at the right speed.



Epic sarcasm missage.

Exactly, they regenerate going down hills, recharging the batteries, so no energy is wasted in the brakes.

Oh.

Car crime's a shit one for tracing though as you've rarely got a description or anything. The only reason the caught the guy that did mine was he was seen doing my car by a neighbour who phoned the cops & they found him shortly after in another car with a needle sticking out his arm

Have the Police got him on record now?

ZTING!

No, it was Prince, actually.

BSB.

Richard Herring's run in with the police recently

Malc

strangely, Richard Herring links are blocked for me. When practically, scratch that, everything is generally accessible. Weird.

HAhahahahaha ..

I hadn't read that one yet, brilliant.

He was saying on Twitter that he feels like giving the thief a thank you gift as it's given him loads of new material.

If I were RH, I would have pretended to be the thief and twittered "Thanks a lot, sucker", and other messages like that so people would be all like "What is RH up to?" and stuff. Then, I'd kill myself.

I wonder what dodgy shit was on his iPhone, that would be worth far more to the thief once he tells the papers.

Loads of podcasts about bumming.

Needs more bumming.
