Work has it's funny moments

I work in a police control room as a radio operator. Anyway, despite being a fairly stressful environment there is the odd moment of levity.
I have recently been diagnosed with having a slipped disc and have been prescribed various medications, pain-killers, other stuff to reduce inflammation etc, and for whatever reason I am still struggling into work (for which the good lady gives me a lot of abuse)
Anyhow, I was at work the other day and on the phone to a particularly awkward MOP (member of the public) and after a fairly lengthy conversation I seemed to have resolved the matter he had called about pretty much to his satisfaction. As I ended the call the Inspector (my boss) shouts over saying, "Blimey, Steve, I don't think I've ever heard you so polite!"
I held a packet of pills up and called back "It's the new drugs, Guv, they're anti-inflammatory....."
He threw something at me......

Here We Go

It's amazing what you get up when you are off work and bored at home. You've checked all the "usual" websites, watched a bit of daytime telly (yuck!!) and have finally got round to finding a channel with some golf on it. The washing is in the machine, the dishes are done and you are somewhat stuck for something useful to do.
Having been reading a very good friend's blog, and mostly laughing out loud or spitting coffee at the computer screen whenever I read it, I thought I'd give it a go....
So here it is, my very first post on a blog, I may never do it again, but it seems to be the thing to do, so you never know, I may post some more. (I have a feeling I may have used too many commas there, but what the hell.)

The title of my blog is a testament to my best man. I got married a few weeks ago and part of his speech included abusing me for my dress sense, especially at pool matches. The sad thing is, I can't really argue with him, but hopefully the new wife will be able to assist in helping me with my wardrobe issues......watch this space!
