They know where I live too (thanks to a certain DS Kev Berger having stuck
my business card on the police HQ's notice-board), and many of them turn up
here unannounced.  With all the police cars' comings and goings in my
driveway, the neighbours must think I'm one of Logan's heaviest crims. 
Worst of all, the bastards all want discounts too.  :)

BG> Had a local gun-shop owner on the news last night, and he
BG> reckons that he's sold more self-loading rifles in the last
BG> week, than he'd sold in the entire previous year. Funny that.

BL> Very amusing.

BG> You wouldn't recognise sarcasm if it jumped up and bit you on
BG> the arse. :) 

BL> I could say the same to you. Shirley, you don't think I was Sirius?

Dunno, it's sometimes hard to tell if you're faking or not.  :)

Regards, Bill
