@sheilatebra British Cop here. My general rule of thumb is if people pass the attitude test the verbal warning is a lot more likely than the ticket. You wouldn't have got a ticket from me either.

Anonymous Got pulled over last week. Speeding. I was doing 50 in a 35. No excuse. I was late for work and being stupid. Cop walks up. I'm ready for the lecture and ticket. Calculating if I can afford it. He looks at my license. Looks at me. "You know why I pulled you over?" I nod. "Yeah. I was speeding. I'm sorry." He hands me back my license. No ticket. "Slow down. Get to work safe." And he walks back. I sat there confused. Waited for him to come back with the ticket. He didn’t. Just drove away. Left me with a warning that wasn’t even formal. Just "slow down." I got to work. Told my coworker. He laughed. "You got lucky." But it didn’t feel like luck. Someone saw me having a bad morning and chose not to make it worse. Could've written that ticket. Should've. Didn't. Two days ago I'm driving home. See a car pulled over on the shoulder. Hazards on. Hood up. Pouring rain. Almost kept driving. Almost. Then I thought about that cop. About how he could've made my day worse and didn’t. I pulled over. Guy’s soaked. Car overheated. Called him a tow truck. Waited 30 minutes in the rain so he wasn’t alone. He tried to pay me. I said no... He asked why I stopped. I told him about the cop. About the ticket I didn’t get. About how someone gave me a break and it made me want to give someone else a break. He said, "I hope that cop knows what he started." I hope he does too. One traffic stop where mercy was chosen over money has turned into at least two people helping strangers. And I’m not stopping. 🤍

@LeeHurstComic Hi Lee. There is a police force who's sole purpose is guarding nuclear sites. The Civil Nuclear Constabulary is almost fully made up of firearms officers similar to the Ministry of Defence.

I have just done some basic research on SMRs as I worry about a terrorist or conventional military or missile attack on one. It suggests damage would be localise to about 1km. I would still prefer and be happier if the SMRs were protected by armed guards, perhaps the Military Police, but my fears over them have been reduced. I would say bin renewables and go for it.

@cineworld I might have shed a tear when a 70s radio station played the theme from Watership Down last night...

please tell me the last film that made you cry x

@theRealEnzoMac So sorry for your loss Enzo. But if it's any consolation I'm sure she must have been one of the proudest mums in Wales when she looked at her 'little boy'. Take care mate. 🙏

After losing my dad I lost my mum yesterday she had a good life she was 85 but fit and healthy but nothing in life is guaranteed We will all miss her

@dougiefischer A hell of a career. Just a shame he never got to fight Martinez/Cotto/Alvarez when they were hogging The Ring belt and he was the obvious number 1 contender.

The Big Drama Show was a hell of a ride.

@ToonDazza One in particular...

Lets face it - the entire planet would be so much better if religion was eradicated.

@TimBoxeo Scott v McCall anyone...?

60yr old Terry Scott Jr (23-5-1), who debuted in July of 1990, returns to the ring after a near 10 year layoff to score a KO-1 win over 45yr old, 374 pound Dewayne McQueen (3-9) in their heavyweight main event Saturday from Pascagoula, Mississippi 🇺🇸 📽️ Allison Scott Graves

@snboxing Dave McAuley down four times against Blanco for IBF flyweight title in 1990 but still won by UD.

For the historians, what’s the last fight you can remember before today when a guy was knocked down four times in a row and then came back to win?

@comicbookaddt This one for me, probably because it was the first Iron Man comic I ever bought off the spinner rack.

@IPhillips79 @MartGray Even as a youngster who'd only seen 2 or even 3 episodes of The Gentle Touch the two shows seemed tonally very different. I still think I'll have to give both a watch though.

@steve4132 @MartGray Gentle Touch still good...C.A.T.S Eyes just feels bonkers and so "out there" in comparison, nowadays. 😂

The Gentle Touch - Sue Nicholls (Audrey in Corrie) as a gangster's moll (1980) Excellent, gritty, award-winning Friday night drama. Jill Gascoine became the first-ever leading lady in a British police drama series & was hugely loved by the public for her role as Maggie. RIP❤️

@MartGray @IPhillips79 The Gentle Touch and CATS Eyes are all on YouTube. I think I might have to book some time off work and see if they are still worth watching.

@steve4132 @IPhillips79 Understandable. And Rosalyn Landor was quite bewitching

@MartGray @IPhillips79 11yr old me loved CATS Eyes but that might have been more to do with presence of Leslie Ash rather than the quality of the writing...

@IPhillips79 Don’t mention the CATS Eyes

@UKLabour This confused me but then I realised it would be an April Fools post...

Labour will always defend British interests abroad and stand up for you at home.

@RoarVibe I admit, you nearly had me 🤣

@SarahMillican75 Hi Sarah. We brought my dad to watch your Bobby Dazzler show in Llandudno a few years back. It was several years since his wife died. You made him laugh for the first time since. I'm sure you hear stuff like this all the time but just wanted to let you know x

My show, Control Enthusiast, is on 4seven tonight at 10:20pm should you have that channel and fancy a laugh.

@InspGadgetBlogs Is it wrong that I find her quite attractive...?

Awful woman.

@ATokkers5 It still amazes me that he fought for the European title just 4 weeks before a World title fight. It was impressive then but would be unthinkable now.

28 years ago today Imamu Mayfield knocked out Terry Dunstan in Round 11 to defend the IBF Cruiserweight Title

@criscyborg Good luck Champ!

Tonight I look to win the WIBA belt and add a professional Boxing World Title to the resume
