-4?

Bizarre coincidence, the timing of this quiz, as I'm currently reading a book.

No. It's by a chap called George. Bloody good name for a writer, George.

Well he did try to join the police but apparently that particular force didn't have a mounted division

He was pleased with the handcuffs but dismayed at the size of the battering ram. he was envisioning 12 men push a giant spear rushing towards him dodging turd arrows. Instead he got a small metal bollard that didn't turn his nose red because it doesnt touch the sides

I'd love to rest my head on those cans. Terrific stuff.

Regarding Broadchurch, discussing it with an old boy at work today and he said you should look up Charlotte Rampling (the prosecuting lawyer, not the one off of Gogglebox) in her younger days. Dearyme, I'd be up it like a rat in a drainpipe.....
