I'm surprised no one else asked: Did you meet the sheriff?

No, but I did meet the Mayor.

Or the deputy?

 

[Brigantium]

No, and I didn't shoot either of them, in case you were wondering.

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

Good. We don't want to see forum members going to prison

 

[Brigantium]

Don't they have internet access in there these days?

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

If you killed two coppers I guess you'd end up in a high- security ward with restricted access. No good.

Sheriff is just a ceremonial role here these days. They wear a fancy uniform, carry a sword and turn up at civic and royal events. I'm not sure if they actually serve any other purpose, they certainly don't have anything to do with the police.

In other news, Download are making their first announcement for 2015 tomorrow morning. Wonder if it will be a big or a small one.

I didn't even know the title was in use in the UK any more. But in the US it's still an "operative" title (i.e. sheriffs are operative police officers).

And I've just discovered West Yorkshire's Sheriff is female.

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

Looks pretty ceremonial, yes

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

Hello? Is there anybody in here?

^^^ Can we add that song to the worst song survivor please? I heard 5 seconds of it and that was more than enough.

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

Aaaaargh!

What are non-operative police officers? People behind desks? Everyone is operating to a certain extent, arent't they?

I used to think of this as the worst song in the world when it was still fairly new.

I'd take that song over anything by Abba any day.

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

I actually really liked the first Scissor Sisters album and I can't stand Pink Floyd so that cover doesn't bother me. Second album was alright, but the next two got progressively more glammy, polished, and lame.

So would I, except for 'Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!' which is awesome.

 

[RTC]

I'll admit Gimme is one of their less onerous songs, but it's still poor.

Mamma Mia might just be the worst song ever written. Which is funny, considering it knocked my favourite song of all-time of the number 1 spot in the UK.
