I forgot to add, the time to go for me from Police Firearms was the introduction of the Taser.

An option to far! Does the Firearms Officer draw his SLP, MP5, Baton Gun,
Tazer, Casco Baton, CS, Use Tac Coms, unarmed defence tactics or as we were told recently, to retreat.

Whilst he or she is ...

My thoughts and condolancies are with both of the families of the Officers, one of whom paid the supreme sacrifice in the 'traditional' role of the British Police service.

There are far to many 'experts' out there when it comes to the Police.

It isn't a simple arguement.

In a nutshell, because ...

Robert 'Bob' Parkes.

Heard today that former Cpl Bob Parkes has died of cancer.

I knew Bob for many years as he was a chef in HQ&Sigs and used to do our summer do's. It never ceased to amaze us how far he could stretch the budget.!! (Usually a tenner!).

Bob was, I believe, a M.P. before he joined the chefs branch ...

A lot depends on the particle size of the pigment used. Wether its above or below 100 microns is quite important.

Some naturally occuring pigments are unable to be reduced to a size below 250 microns, thus giving the paint more surface area, hence it will dry quicker.

So if you want the paint to ...

Not really Pongo, I would ask for his details and check with immigration to see when he arrived or through the relevant Embassy.

It would take about 10 mins!

You would naturally have informed your insurance company as well so again its a simple phone call to them.

Just pay the fine!

Folks, dont know why you are getting so worried and worked up.

The Bunker is a place for serving and ex R.M.s so I dont know why you would want to go there.

You have plenty of scope here.

I have no desire whatsoever to join or visit or discuss RAF, ARMY, PARA etc sites apart from the odd browse ...

Rotary, time spent on remand counts as double time, ie for every day you serve it will count as two after conviction.

There is an automatic deduction for good behaviour whicg could be up to (I believe) 50% of toal sentence upon conviction.

The two forces probably never bungled anything.
