Ooh, I like it.

[golf charley]

Love it!

Hope this one goes UK viral, and is posted within Police Stations!

[AngusPangus]

Looks like they're having arrest.

[I'll get me coat...]

[BBD]

Nope. Hockey stick.

[Breath of fresh air]

LOL

[Suramantine]

This is hilarious!  And is it just a coincidence that it is Josh's number 69? :)

[Atomic Hairdryer]

someone post it to inspector gadget? ;)

i was going to say you couldn`t make it up...apparently you can.

[Bad Andrew]

Brilliant!

Andrew

[Green Sand]

Now that is clever, in many ways.

Well done Josh

[Josh]

Surmantine - pure serendipity.

[Paul Boyce]

A minor variation:

"Is that a truncheon, or are you just pleased to see me?"

[Jonathan Drake]

"Is that a truncheon?" ... "No, just the special branch."

[simpleseekeraftertruth]

I wonder if she could find out how the CRU investigation is going!-(

[Viv Evans]

Omigawd!

:-)))

[kim]

No, but it's trenchant....even,... robust.

Is that Josh and Lucia (with dyed hair?)

[John Shade]

A work of art! But a little Rabelaisian, as a university lecturer once described the cabaret I had organised for a final year physics class 'night out' in the Physics Building. I needed to go round the following day to beg for further donations since we'd consumed rather more of a rather fine 'sale or return' wine than I had anticipated, and that's when I got his feedback.

[BT]

No ma'am - just hiding the decline - standard official procedure - nothing to see here - move along please.

(This is how undercover policemen talk in bed).

[Don Pablo de la Sierra]

Short arm of the law?

[Justice4Rinka]

OT: apparently another 800,000 more emissions indulgences have been nicked from the Czech registry and still more from the Greek...

Tee hee!

[Pharos]

Clearly a form of cognitive distortion in which a judgment based on insufficient evidence leads to an erroneous conclusion.

[cosmic]

A copper from up Clapham Junction,
Whose seminal gland wouldn't function,
kidded his wife,
for the rest of his life,
with a snot on the end of his truncheon.

[not telling]

@ cosmic,

You are either 15 years old now or were in 1965. I suspect the latter.

[cosmic]

not telling,

I'm engaged on a spectacularly successful experiment to prolong adolescence beyond all previously known limits.

I heard the rhyme on the way back from a university trip to Porton Down in the 70s. I haven't heard it since, but it came to mind.

OT- An alert from your friendly anti-CO2 mob:

Urgent - Campaign against Climate Change Fundraising Appeal

Campaign against Climate Change www.campaigncc.org

We’re writing to ask for your help.

The Campaign against Climate Change urgently needs your support. Since Copenhagen, funding for the Climate Change movement is disappearing, and the Campaign is running out of money.

Donate

As usual, in 2010 the Campaign achieved a lot. We staged an overnight vigil to bring climate change to the election, organised a ground-breaking demonstration against domestic flights (at London City and Manchester airports with activists travelling by train in between), a demonstration against agrofuels down in Portland in Dorset, partnering with a local campaign group, and a series of public meetings, big and small. The CCC trade union group re-launched the One Million Climate Jobs pamphlet with the backing of major trade unions calling for 1 million climate jobs in the UK and even got the call backed by the TUC. Our Zero Carbon Britain campaign, inspired by the report from the Centre for Alternative Energy supplies a visionary goal to galvanise public campaigning around climate – so necessary now the current political scene is engulfed by the economic crisis. In October, John McDonnell re-tabled the Campaign’s demands in EDM 853 now including a call for a Zero Carbon Britain by 2030. On the 4th December, the CCC organised the National Climate March – on its own again this year – together with a Global Day of Action on the same day, the result of another year-full of international networking. It's so important we can continue with all this vital campaigning work.

In the past CCC has relied on grants, alongside a small membership scheme, to run events and its campaigning activities. Since the disappointing result of Copenhagen, we’ve found it very hard to achieve the same level of financial support from grant schemes and as a result CCC has barely enough money to keep campaigning.

This is a call out for more of you to join the CCC membership scheme, and help make 2011 really count in the fight against climate change.

We need to stabilise the income of CCC by building up a regular monthly income from membership donations. A donation of £3 per month by standing order would greatly help to ensure the running of important events and make sure the prevention of catastrophic Climate Change is kept on the political agenda. Monthly donations of over £3 will receive a free Campaign against Climate Change t-shirt!

Please donate here: www.campaigncc.org/join

(While one-off donations are greatly appreciated, standing orders provide a reliable source of income that can keep the campaign going long into the future. Please download, complete and return a standing order form to the address provided on the donation page: www.campaigncc.org/join)

If you already give to the Campaign, THANK YOU! – We could not have achieved so much without you!

It comes with a t-shirt? I'll buy two bottles of whatever snake-oil you are selling.

Inspired by recent examples here at BH, I signed up to CACC's astroturfing mailing lists a month ago so as to keep up to date with news and blog posts that irritate the mob.

I did not receive a single alert. Not even in the spam can.

But that alert was in the spam can, squeezed between "Beautiful Russian Women Are Waiting to Meet You", "Enlarge your penis", "Airline tickets for less", "a better positioning", and an "URGENT" message from a Wilson Morris that goes like this:

AS-SALAAM ALAIKUM

I AM MR WILSON MORRIS THE CHIEF AUDITOR INCHARGE OF FOREIGN REMITTANCE UNIT OF CENTRAL BANK AND I HAVE HAD THE INTENT TO CONTACT YOU OVER THIS FINANCIAL TRANSACTION WORTH THE SUM ($8.5Million USD) FOR OUR SUCCESS.

THIS IS AN ABANDONED SUM THAT BELONGS TO ONE OF OUR BANK FOREIGN CUSTOMERS WHO DIED WITH HEART RELATED DISEASE ALONG AGO.

YOU HAVE THE ABSOLUTE AUTHORITY TO CLAIM THE FUND HENCE YOU ARE A FOREIGNER AS SOON AS YOU REPLY, STEP TO FOLLOW IN ORDER TO FINALIZE THIS TRANSACTION IMMEDIATELY WOULD BE DECLARED TO YOU.
I EXPECT YOU'RE URGENT COMMUNICATION.

YOURS SINCERELY
MR.WILSON MORRIS

I only signed up to CACC. Honest. I haven't got the slightest clue how those snake-oil spammers could have my email address, or how the CACC urgent appeal made its way among them.

But, since it's a worthy cause, and since the anti-CO2 cult really needs some money after one of their cashed-up activists was exposed as undercover police, maybe I should ask Mr. Wilson Morris to transfer that 8.5 million dollar fund straight into CACC accounts.

[jorgekafkazar]

More of a sting operation...

"Is that a truncheon?" ... "No, that's just my helmet, I'm hoping to wave it round later and perhaps pick up something for the policeman's ball."

[BT]

@cosmic

"I heard the rhyme on the way back from a university trip to Porton Down in the 70s."

Do you recall being sprayed with anything on that trip? (It may account for the Peter Pan effect.)

[Lewis]

He's getting better and better!

[Lewis]

But, seriously, humour (English spelling!) might be a strategy forward, exept I wonder if it isn't lost on people. I mean laugh them out of court but they're still chanting their inane chant outside - and if the law doesn't doesn't work then change the law. An arcane palimpset full of obscure liberties no one will remember or fight for. And they're right, aren't they?

[BT]

The majority of green activists are deep cover policemen and women and vice versa. It is a mixed up, muddled up world....except for Briffa.

[Martinb]

I was going to ask if you were waiting for a cartoon like this to go with the number. But I've changed my mind; I won't go there.

[cosmic]

@ BT

"Do you recall being sprayed with anything on that trip? (It may account for the Peter Pan effect.)"

No chance. We saw nothing special (containment facilities for dangerous pathogens etc.) which we couldn't have shown people back at base, had we been geared up and given an incentive to do. All standard stuff tor a university lab.

Being 15 in 1965 and 15 in 2011 seems to have affected no one else on the course. I don't believe I was singled out. Anyway, most people thought I was 50 in 1965 and still think I'm 50 in 2011.

[john gorter]

Have you not twigged that it is not all about the thickness of the trunk, but more about the lenghth of the root?

Ciao from Milano

[kim]

It's not the length of the joke that brings the laugh out loud, rather it's the logic of the comic.

It appears Lord Strathclyde has been doing his bit under the covers as well.

[Quaoar]

"Is that a truncheon?" In the US, if a woman "feels" like she has been denigrated or assaulted, she may call police and the male party will be jailed, and charged with "domestic violence". The leftists in the US have won, at least in the area of domestic relations.
