    Since the main thread has been littered with people having a laugh (Which a laugh isn't bad at all) But to keep the recruitment thread based on recruitment, I've decided to create this thread so that people can have a laugh while waiting for results. So here you are people, a thread to talk about the non-essentials. Enjoy!

    Only issue now is, getting this thread snowballing - SO BEGIN POSTING PEOPLE!

    Hopefully it will pick up, not clutter the recruitment section and bring back users looking for more serious information.

    Until then

    Im after seeing a few videos of the march at the weekend and civil rights camp campaigners, got me thinking about what way i would deal with it! Apart from that, what kind of suggestions do you think Richard Haas will come up with, what would you like to see?

    I hope it involves something with tear gas and batons! Sick of rioters treating police officers like toys.

    Enough of the soft touch approach, you mess with NI's free market. You get blitzkrieged for not embracing democracy!

    I would like to see the parades commisson gone and any parades just be notified to the local police station wherever its happening, this will encourage dialogue between the police and organisers and develop a closer more personal relationship between the 2.

    This is an amazing video. A South African Task Force is tasked with intercepting a heist in progress, and what follows could only have been imagined by Michael Bay!

    True, but then there will be those complaining of non-prejudice and independent decision making on parades.

    Can't remember who said this; it was a comedian from here but his suggestion was along these lines;

    Put the lot of them on an island and let them fight it out :D

    The whip has been cracked then?

    Here's me hoping for a bit of light relief following a 14 hour shift.

    I hate my job.

    Lol. Came online to have a chuckle at the banter after a hard days graft :) Noticed we have a few whingers that seem to have appeared from nowhere then read this:
    wannabe2010 banned for 3 days.
    Come on Turner, there's being a good moderator and there's being power hungry. If the guys can't take the craic in the first place, they ain't gonna make it on the job surely!
