Yes feeling almost back to normal now, having a bloody good laugh does help! Speaking of which I have discovered this hilarious page on Facebook called 'UK Cop Humour' - I literally laugh out loud at the stuff these cops put on there every day. For example:-


What's YOUR best one-liner in Court?

---------------------------------------------
These are from a book called Disorder in the American Courts, and are things people actually said in court, word for word, taken down and now published by court reporters who had the torment of staying calm while these exchanges were actually taking place.

Q: Are you sexually active?
A: No, I just lie there.

Q: What is your date of birth?
A: July 15th.
Q: What year?
A: Every year.

Q: This myasthenia gravis, does it affect your memory at all?
A: Yes.
Q: And in what ways does it affect your memory?
A: I forget.
Q: You forget? Can you give us an example of something that you've forgotten?

Q: How old is your son, the one living with you?
A: Thirty-eight or thirty-five, I can't remember which.
Q: How long has he lived with you?
A: Forty-five years.

Q: Now doctor, isn't it true that when a person dies in his sleep, he doesn't know about it until the next morning?
A: Did you actually pass the bar exam?

Q: The youngest son, the twenty-year-old, how old is he?

Q: Were you present when your picture was taken?

Q: So the date of conception (of the baby) was August 8th?
A: Yes.
Q: And what were you doing at that time?

Q: She had three children, right?
A: Yes.
Q: How many were boys?
A: None.
Q: Were there any girls?

Q: How was your first marriage terminated?
A: By death.
Q: And by whose death was it terminated?

Q: Doctor, how many autopsies have you performed on dead people?
A: All my autopsies are performed on dead people.

Q: ALL your responses MUST be oral, OK? What school did you go to?
A: Oral.

Q: Do you recall the time that you examined the body?
A: The autopsy started around 8:30 p.m.
Q: And Mr. Dennington was dead at the time?
A: No, he was sitting on the table wondering why I was doing an autopsy.

Q: Are you qualified to give a urine sample?

Q: Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse?
A: No.
Q: Did you check for blood pressure?
A: No.
Q: Did you check for breathing?
A: No.
Q: So, then it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy?
A: No.
Q: How can you be so sure, Doctor?
A: Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar.
Q: But could the patient have still been alive, nevertheless?
A: Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law somewhere

I laughed until my sides hurt and some of the memes they have on there keep me entertained for hours! Go check it out - British humour at its very best :rofl:

:rofl::rofl::rofl: I like the last one the best! Speaking of UK cops, my Brit friend here, Sylvia, is obsessed with watching you tube videos on UK cops out on the beat. Can't believe what she's seeing sometimes. Reminds me of some of your "clients."

Also gulping down the 'Rescue Remedy' which seems to be working lol! Couldn't resist a little online comparison though, 20ml spray here? $24.99 while in Boots UK it's £9.65 which is $14.00 at the current exchange rate!!!! Ridiculous!!!

Glad it made you ladies chuckle - it certainly put a smile on my face lol! :rofl:

So today:- (drum roll please!)

The car finally passed its roadworthy certificate - only another $76.00 (phew!)

All my worldly possessions are currently being carried into my UK flat (hurrah!)

My favourite doctor (lovely Scot who left to work in Sydney) has come back - only for 3 weeks but it will make my work life far more bearable. One as he is so nice, funny and interesting and second? He is soooooooooooooo handsome!!! (swoon!) He is taken but a girl can dream eh?!! ;)

I'm hoping this is a corner & I have turned it - 6 weeks, 3 days!!!! :thumbsup:
