@Crazy-Horse Yep job burnt me out pretty quick, I am far to empathetic, so my bucket got full pretty quick. After 10 years I could no longer read, see, or deal with things I had no trouble dealing with in the beginning. I had to leave, but I have nothing but respect for those that do it year after year. Thank you.
You guys did better than I managed. Shift work for comms was enough for me. I had every intention of going fully sworn, I got very far down the recruitment process but decided not to go any further. I even started running a bit !
But yeah, thanks for getting in there and doing the work fellas, good shit.
The dad of my son's mate is a Scot. Great bloke. Is an engineer now but always wanted to be a cop. He lasted one year on the force. In that time he was stabbed with a syringe, slashed with a knife and shot at. He also had to collect body parts and locate the head of a guy who jumped in front of a train. That was all before he turned 19. Screw that.

When you let someone into traffic in front of you and they don't give you a wave. How fucken hard is it to raise your arm you lazy fluffybunny!
Totally agree but would add fluffybunnies who queue across the intersection so you can't get out. Happens to me every morning. Took me 8 minutes just to join the queue today.
Also piston wristed gibbons who speed down the T3 and then expect to be able to swerve in to join said queue when they spot the enforcement camera. Not fucking likely matey. Enjoy the $200 fine fluffybunny.

Parents who give their kids stupid fucken names. I met a bloke whose surname was Floyd, yep his parents give him the first name Floyd. What's your name mate? Floyd Floyd.
Imagine the thousand phone conversations when he is giving first and last name and the person on the other end says "Yeah I got that, what's your last name"

Working at school the misspellings are more common than the norm, if there is a chance to put a Y in there!

Was on netflix, terrific soundtrack, some quite amusing moments and interesting seeing a bunch of "before they were really famous" actors. .
