submitter: hilarity did not ensue


From TFA: The court heard the pair were friends, and planned to attend a Lionel Ritchie concert together.


I respectfully beg to differ, sir.

Sounds like the foreplay got a little too rough.

not exactly two of Britain's finest

Article is tea-larious

/oh yes, I went there

The hell it it didn't.

And now we know: British cops can be just as stupid as American cops when it comes to pranks.

Who bought the tickets?

I don't know if I could take a cop seriously if I saw him drinking tea. Its good and all but not a very tough guy drink.

Who says cops are'nt humans?

Don't flame me bro!

All night long! (all night)
All night long! (all night)

Childish indeed.

It's a British thing. Most people drink tea, including almost all of the armed forces. I don't think they'd be too happy if you insulted their brew

/British
//drinks coffee

So much for the Queen's English... I couldn't understand a thing from that poorly written article. Pranks, my foot. Whatever happened, it sounds like really ghey foreplay.

BTW can some Brit explain why accronyms, such as NATO and in this case PC are written Nato and Pc. Do you call your personal computer a Pc too? You don't write Uk after all or do you? It just looks odd to the eye.

It's just lazy writing.

this headline confused and irritated me.

He spilled his colleague's tea!?!? Motherfarker, throw the book at him. You Americans might not understand, but we take this kind of offence very seriously over here.

According to British journalists' style guides "Use all capitals if an abbreviation is pronounced as the individual letters: BBC, VAT etc. If it is an acronym (pronounced as a word) spell out with initial capital, eg Nasa, Nato, unless it can be considered to have entered the language as an everyday word, such as awol, laser and, more recently, asbo, pin number and sim card."

Don't know about PC/Pc thing tho

Take issue with my style all you want, but the punctuation is impeccable.

That's right, impeccable. It simply can not be... uh... pecced.
