Tell Me Something............Anything!

I gave up after Peter Capaldi's incarnation, but I think I did see one episode with Jody Whittaker as the Doctor. (I thought it a neat move to get around the rule that the Doctor can only regenerate up to a maximum of 12 times (presumably as a male).)

Everyone has their favourite Doctor: usually the one who was current when they first started watching. I'm sufficiently ancient to have watched the first broadcast episode, so William Hartnell is my favourite Doctor. My least favourite was John Pertwee, playing the earth-bound Doctor, who seemed to spend all his time battling monsters in muddy disused quarries.

I saw few of the Tom Baker and Peter Davidson incarnation episodes, and virtually none of the Colin Baker of Sylvester McCoy incarnations.

yeah when young i watched it. tom baker was sufficietly mad to do it well. hartnell and Troughton were decent too. even davidson was fairly good although i didnt watch it then. tom baker was my last.

Tom Baker was my favourite as he was barking mad, and Pertwee my least favourite for the reasons Barry mentioned. Tbh I was never really a big fan of any of it. I put up with the Capaldi ones only because his sidekick was so cute.

I went for a long time believing Tom Baker to be dead, then one day he turned up on a radio programme. That came as a bit of a surprise. He was aware of the rumours. Bloody social media

Just splashed out on a new phone..
Have to say its quite a difference to my old one in use.
A little bigger but a lot thicker and heavier. But at same time it sits in hand OK.
My old Sony is still a hood phone but this is a step up. Cameras are very good too, which was one of attractions as I like my pictures etc. It also dies wireless charging which is interesting and works. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...0d441a735a.jpg

You'd better read the instructions again on how to charge it [emoji23]

Doh it's one of those wireless jobbies, it's me behind the times...

Yes, wireless pad under it. It's fairly quick considering. Handy tho as it can charge when not in use and no cable if I pick it up.

Seems fairly quick so far although the finger sensor isn't great

Seriously? Might be a bit naughty, but the poor old sod was just having a bit of fun. Typical copper response.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ng-bottom.html

and they wonder why the public have more and more disrespect for them.. honestly, disgraceful behaviour.

Six officers? It's they that are the arseholes in this story.

Ridiculous response , it would have only taken one officer paying a visit to the house to "have a word".

Forty odd years ago I had had a few beers and decided it would be nice to stick my bum out of the passenger widow of my mates Cortina - lovely warm evening so I left it out for a good couple of miles thinking it would amuse the people in the car that was behind us.

When we got out at the local Chinese takeaway I was shocked to see that the car behind us was actually the police.
Copper approached me and said "having a bit of trouble in the back were we sir?"

Being young, drunk and stupid I demanded an identity parade :doh:

The constable explained to me that I could be in a lot of trouble and that my actions could also have got my mate (driver of car) in trouble - copper then smiled and told us to get home.
Job done, I accepted that I was daft, felt embarrassed by my actions and had greater respect for the police.

Yes, but as he probably hasn't appeared in court yet, they'll probably be round to nick us all for mentioning it here, saying we're trying to influence the outcome. 'Conspiracy to pervert the course of justice' springs to mind. Blue Meanies strike again! :eek:

i wont go easily!! well i will as im even more disabled than that guy.:eyebrows:

I won't go quietly either. I'll put on my 'one man band' kit! :lol:

Why did he resist arrest? Or was that on his bucket list too?

he didnt

clearly he did or they would not have had to wrestle him to the ground.

i think they went 6 handed for a reason.. if you go team handed your gonna use them for payback for insulting their collegue eh?

I thought it was normal for the police to attract people like that. I mean, if you fail the exams for being a bouncer, where else can you get work? :lol:

on the video you can hear the wpc asking him to stop resisting.

I suspect they sent 6 officers as he's a big lad and they probably expected trouble. If he'd just said 'fair cop', turned around and let them put the bracelets on there would have been no bother. Down the station, quick interview, caution and off you go home. He just made it hard on himself for no reason.

Former university lecturer so that was probably his first encounter with the real world.

A friend of a friend worked for the Police in a civilian capacity for several years and she said there were a good few officers there who, if they hadn't been accepted by the Police, would definitely have been criminals!

It used to be a saying of mine that 'they are the biggest criminal organisation in the country'.

Naturally, they think nobody will nick them. I've seen first hand what they get up to on more than one occasion.

yeah kinda like that black guy in america ;) the guy was disabled and used sticks ffs. there was no need for that behaviour.

The police, like the military, are a necessary evil. We need them unfortunately, but things could be so much better.

The video starts with him on the ground and the reason he is on the ground is because he resisted arrest, sticks or not. You think they wrestled him to the ground for fun? They only do that if you resist being handcuffed.


The bloke is obviously very naïve, he clearly couldn't believe they came to arrest him for what he did and probably thought that if he made a bit of a fuss about being handcuffed they'd just go away.


Yes, you get the odd nutter in the police but in general they are fine (and nothing like the cops in America, not even close). They have to deal with utter dickheads every day to the point where that's what they expect to face every time and they are trained not to piss about if someone resists.

The reason there is six of them is because it makes it easier to subdue someone without seriously hurting them even if they are big and strong.

the point is they shouldnt be arresting him. a total waste of police time. a ticking off or they could just charge him there and then, cuffing and dragging the guy to a station by 6 cops is foolish and makes them look so bad. the should all be suspended.

and video doesnt show him resisting.

only when they dont act like villans and thugs. otherwise yes, and they do have a difficult job etc but that type of behaviour was over the top. you can tell by looking at guy he wasnt going to assault anyone.
yes he behaved like a dick, but so do many folk;

I agree it's a waste of police time. But he does resist arrest, you can hear the WPC telling him to stop struggling.

Plus it isn't the fault of the officers involved. They have been ordered to go and arrest him, they haven't decided to do it off their own bat.

if 6 folk jumped on me i guess i'd struggle a bit, if only to breathe

You can't really believe that the cops just walked up and jumped on him without any sort of warning or conversation?

They'll have asked him to identify himself, and then when he does that they will then have told him that he's being arrested and what the charge is

Then they will ask him to place his hands behind his back to be handcuffed. That's the point where he will have started resisting and then they have had to wrestle him down to cuff him.

I'll bet any money that's how it went down.

I think the average copper is only smart enough to catch drink drivers, druggies, pissheads and car thieves (and then only if the thief is actually stopped while driving the stolen car). For everything that requires brains they have specialist branches.

Most crimes these days are solved through technology, not brain cells - CCTV, ANPR, drugs wipes, tracking devices, alarm systems, fingerprint scanners, drones and helicopters with night vision. Without that lot, the police (and us) would be screwed.

:D You've heard the term "the loudspeakers just disappeared", well a mate of mine had a pair of such speakers - he bought them from a white van man, and when he got them home found they had no drive units. :( So he stuck with his mini system, less hassle

cop26 has, as suspected become a copout.;) very little will change; ...except the weather and such. big polluters such as china, india, usa and for size australia dont mind the reduction in fossils as long as its not them...

goodbye world as we knew it. wont bother me too much but the young and unborn are f**ked

Yes, unfortunately it was all sadly predictable. :doh:

no doubt initially anyway they will claim it a great victoryb ut it will be business as usual. amazon will be cut down at faster rate and coal and oil etc will be burning even higher.
oddly for once the uk is one of the 'better' guys now, and if rest of world followed our line we would easily do it.

More daft stuff.

I get a "404 error", what's the news item about (I do like seeing stories about rich people suffering :) )

I get 404 too, maybe they're not suffering any more?

paid for private treatment :)

Here's a different article about the same thing.

https://www.ft.com/content/33b7bbf7-...1-48e6a7b0c0bf

Here's the original link. It may be OK now, works for me.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ng-demand.html

I think that you will have to type the whole article :lol:

both 404 for me

Your device is shagged. :D

God bless China and Russia, who knew all along that not going was the 'greener' option.
