He was off duty, so I didn't know he was a cop initially. He broke a traffic rule - should have let me in, but wasn't about to - so I drove and he had to hit the breaks. He followed that up, showing his discontent, by pulling up riiiight behind me, thus breaking another traffic rule... At the traffic light up ahead I stopped, got out of the car to 'explain' to him his errors. He then also got out, badge in hand, and started screaming. I told him what he had done wrong, and when he refused to acknowledge his errors 'the words' were spoken.

You're lucky he didn't shoot you in the face.

Glad you approve...

I think I said hello to a policeman once. True story.

Have you ever broke the speed limit Pep?

'Broken'

I don't talk to cops much.

They think all the lads my age just sit around smoking dope and being unproductive.

they have a hard job so hats off to the cops who actually put in an honest days work

Yes Rex!

Never had any runs ins with the police, came close though.

I was tailgating a car, not intentionally, I just chose to slow down without the use of breaks to save petrol and ended up quite close to a guy who was going quite slowly on the overtake lane. He started waving his hand telling me to back off but he was crawling at this point so I refused. Then he turned his police lights on at the front and I quickly slammed on the breaks

He changed lane and went behind me, was crapping myself that he'd pull me over but it didn't happen.

Other day I was 15mph over the speed limit and suddenly noticed a police car behind me when the lights and sirens started going off... quickly slowed down and changed lanes and wet myself thinking it was for me but fortunately they had something else to deal with.

Are Swedish cops not allowed to hit you in the head or mace you?
The closest I've ever gotten was when I smiled at a Thai policeman and called him a "fucking bollocks" as I gave him a $5 dollar bribe (I knew he spoke no English).

Like you, he may have said all that in Swedish to an English copper so he is not quite the hero you think.
Seriously though, like Gazza says, i sometimes thought the scousers were exaggerating but blimey!
Now i understand a little bit why they reacted the way they did to the seemingly overwhelming official evidence against Suarez.

I am no hero at all. I just have a short fuse sometimes.

'right'

You are wrong though. The original spelling, which is still considered valid by some, actually has 4 'i's.

We all have a short fuse I get enraged if I lose at solitaire, but you're living the dream mate.
Telling a cop who understands- to go fuck himself- is definitely on my list of things to do before I die.

Only time I talk to cops is when I'm being given a speeding ticket.

Unfortunately I don't usually feel entitled to tell a man just doing his job to go fuck himself.

That's the trouble when dealing with large organisations: usually the guy fucking you is getting fucked even harder working for the stupid.

Often feel that way when I'm on the phone to my telco experiencing waves of insensate rage.
