Greg came to visit last Monday. Greg is our police officer. We email him when we need him to keep the neighbors in line and he comes to see us when we are having The Troubles. Last week he came to follow up about the fire set by some schoolgirls in our stair tower. This fire (there have been others) was my first opportunity to call an emergency number. Usually we ring up the police on the non-emergency line, but a fire in a building seemed like a good time to dial 999 (and I know all about dealing with fires in the UK from watching The IT Crowd). They're my emergency services.
Yesterday somewhat surly officers came over about The Screamer, the guy who screams obscenities at his toddler, and today some very friendly officers who have relatives in Canada came to call (also about The Screamer) followed by some mystery cops who rang us up to let them into the building, because we are nothing if not best friends with the local police force. MBC + Local Police = BFFs 4Ever

IT Crowd...almost makes up for all the po po troubles. It does concern me that I never really thought of you as someone having run ins with the law--till you married Steve. Hmm.
Oh my gosh, that IT crowd show is so funny!
Rebekah and Breanne--Yes, love love.
Eliana--Actually, being roommates with Lisa was my initiation into police encounters. Speaking of which, just barely had encounter number 3 for the week. Woo.
