I can created a useful links page if people think that would be helpful. I am still waiting for your photos and info! Us Rippos are getting a little embarrised being the only ones there.
As for the site going quiet...well I was stuck at work on my own last night, and just thought everyone else must be out on the
last night...felt lonely 
BUT I did pick up a kebab on the way home and caught the end of Eastenders on BBC3 - :scared: , haven't watched it for ages...and saw the sky news report on SA, the poms were sitting in a park having a bbq, the sky was sooooo blue!
As for today, my lovely husband got up with the kids and has taken them out so I didn't wake up til 1030am.....(can't remember when I last stayed in bed that long!!) . I've got my painting gear on.....just need to get some enthusiasm to start. Decided to Ann Maurice the house, and bit of cleaning, neutralizing and decluttering!!
Going to cinema with my 6 yr old later. Probably going to watch Magic Roundabout. Has any one seen it? Is it any good? Maybe we should watch Racing Stripes instead?
Have a great weekend everyone,
Ann

Don't have a computer at home any more. Sold it as part of the Ann Maurice de-cluttering. Technophobe anyway so wouldn't be able to link a piccie to e-mail to you. Have to send via snail mail or something.
Magic Roundabout - for the 6 year old or for you?

If not, don't forget, de-clutter, present a blank canvass by painting the walls with with neutral colours and take down those family photos!!.
Don't be offended if someone says your house suffers 'doggy odour', do something about Rex, chief, meg or Ben. No, don't put them down!! even if they do cost an arm a leg and a head to take to Oz. Buy some cheap neutral carpets and light some candles to ward off the whiff.
It's all about finishing touches, so finish off all those small odd jobs you've been meaning to do for ages and put a mirror in the hall to create an illusion of space.
Don't mean to nag but after all, I am the only gay in the 1-5-0 club. (Ivory in B+Q is an excellent neutral colour for walls, we've got it everywhere, the house looks as if it's doubled in size.)
Brian,
PS
DC in the Met @ Streatham. Glad someone else is snowed under in robberies!!

Hi Guys
As you all know SFM has created a great new website forum.
Police Forum
In it he has an area where you can upload your own photos directly to the site. You need to be a registered user to view these photos, and so I think it would be safer in the long run if we use his site and I close down the web page that I set up.
I will leave it a few days, and then delete it all!!
If anyone has trouble adding their photo to the new Police Forum Gallery, feel free to send it to me and I can resize it etc... and upload it for you.
With regards to info about each of us I am going to add a new thread under general on the new forum where we can add a paragraph or two about ourselves!

Re: Club One Five '0'
I read the following in the Adelaide Advertiser I don't know whether to be happy that they are defending the British bobby and will recruit the rest of the Club one Five')' or to wonder what will happen next.......let me know what you think, hopefully we should know for definate next week
Racial row over report on UK police
By State Political Reporter GREG KELTON
08feb05
A POLITICAL row has erupted over the recruitment of British police officers for South Australia with the Opposition being accused of "racial vilification".
Police Minister Kevin Foley launched a verbal attack on Liberal police spokesman Robert Brokenshire after he asked a question about a new report which casts doubt on the effectiveness of British police officers.
In a bid to speed up recruitment of 200 new officers for SA Police, officers are being recruited from Britain.
Mr Brokenshire asked whether the Government had considered a new report from an independent think-tank which said the U.S, France and Germany had all made a more effective job of combating crime than Britain.
He said the report contained severe criticism of British police.
Mr Foley told Parliament the question from Mr Brokenshire was "an absolute disgrace". "He has decided to go Brit-bashing," Mr Foley said.
"I don't think I have ever had a more offensive question put to me."
Mr Foley said it appeared the Opposition wanted to get into "some sort of racial vilification".
Mr Foley said there were immigrants from Britain working in the Parliament.
Mr Foley said Mr Brokenshire should apologise for his attack on the 60 British police officers who would take up positions with SA Police.
Mr Brokenshire later said outside Parliament Mr Foley had engaged in "bovver-boy tactics".
He said the comments indicated his embarrassment at failing to deliver extra police.
"Mr Foley's thuggery in Parliament is well known," Mr Brokenshire said.
"When he can't answer a question, or chooses not to because he and the Government are embarrassed, he resorts to personal abuse and deliberate misrepresentation."

Still in a positive frame of mind.

Re: Club One Five '0'
Hi ann how are you all doing?
We are eagerly counting down the days until we hear if they are going to put us out of our misery and give start dates (fingers crossed).
I am glad I joined a wine club before christmas as the cheap but very good wine is helping a great deal
How are you and the Rippos all getting on? Are you resorting to friends like jim beam and jack daniels for comfort yet?
Could you do us a favour and forward our info to the new webpage which has been set up cos I can just about get access to this site, let alone move stuff around the place, cheers.
Oh well not long to go now (I'm not fooling anyone am I?!)
Take care.

That was on the 8th. He's since being investigated for corruption, probably by a POM police officer. Here's hoping.
Anyway suffice to say old news.

I will contact the administrator for you and see if he can reset your details!
Also thanks for your photos. Would you like me to load them on to the new Police Forum site for you, as I am going to take my little page down soon?

Re: Club One Five '0'
Hi Everyone,
Lee and Zoe, No Problems re moving your photos - do you want me to add your info too?
Will probably do it tomorrow cos on a 10hr shift today, but have some time without kids or work tomorrow morning.
Re Alcohol....I have never needed an excuse to drink wine in the evening but it has stepped up just a little recently!! 
Is everyone getting fed up with the constant "When are you going? Is your house on the market etc...." questions every time you walk down the corridor at work? - it is nice that people are interested, but they aren't helping matters, especially as they want to know the whole story! Just yesterday someone spoke to me about Oz and once I had told them the abridged version of events they kindly said "Let's hope you don't live to regret turning down March" ........ funny, I had never thought I might regret turning down March!
Rich has even got people who are after his job! He hasn't even resigned yet....
Well are we getting closer to knowing?
If Scott is on his hols, and SAPOL HR are busy with the 60, who is going to be letting us know in the next 5 days? I am not holding my breath on this one!
