Who the fúck was Ralph, Johnny's partner?
I have never seen him do it. Very, very rare. However, pretty much every night he will spontaneously grab some ugly little kid out of the crowd to join him for the chorus to Waiting on a Sunny Day, a song so dull and generic it could be played at a wedding.
Thankfully, and not by accident, I am usually so pissed by this point that it barely registers.
Statistically, it's true. The CPS generally don't bring cases without a strong chance of conviction (unless you're a celeb accused of nonceing in which case it's open season thanks to that arse Keir Starmer).
I'm guessing that coppers would rather not taser people if they don't have to (paperwork, tedious enquiries, the possibility the cünt will croak, etc), so I would argue they're unlikely to use them unless they feel reasonably threatened or the suspect is physically resisting arrest, being aggressive or obstreperous. Thus, in a sense. the use of a taser to me indicates that there's a pretty good chance the suspect already has or is about to commit a crime.
I was in Victoria Station last week and saw armed police. Do they hang out at all the tube stations? Or just the main ones?

Unlike us who have provided one or two defenders to City.
I suppose strictly speaking, a Martini is gin and wine, isn't it?
Doesn't have quite the same working class antihero vibe if we realise Ralph had spent the day getting mashed on ice-cold Martinis, though, does it? Picturing him head down on the bar, surrounded by discarded cocktail sticks and olive stones. :hehe:
Yes. That's always the excuse. I would take the view that my taxes have already paid for this person to be investigated, charged and tried, so finding them not guilty would essentially amount to me wasting all my money that's already been spent. I can't stand that sort of waste, so I think the only sane thing to do is send them down.
