I was doing quite will with at least a post a day to this blog, but I got completely sidetracked this week when some thieving toe rags smashed my car window and made off with a whole load of valuble kit. I won't say what as it's just too embarrasing to think what a fool I was to leave the stuff in view. Oh well, we live and learn.

I'd not had too many dealings with the police before, and always taken most of the criticism they get with a pinch of salt, but it turns out it's all true! They really are a useless shower who really don't want to get involved in the business of actually solving crime. I've been on the phone to various people - I've no idea if they were actual police officers or civilians. If they were police officers, I'd be seriously worried.

But since my dealings with the police have been entirely over the phone and apparently they have some new online system too, it got me wondering: how long will it be before most of the police functions are outsourced abroad? And is there scope for affiliates to pick up this seemingly non-police police work and just pass across the real leads maybe? I might go and register a suitable name.. something like Police4U or Police365 so I'm ready for when the opportunities arise.
