The Ladybird Book of the Police

The Ladybird Book of the Police.

I skimmed idly by at first, thinking it was just someone posting pictures for us to see the style that old ladybird books used to have. (I used to do work that involved cataloguing them, the old ones were really lovely.) Then I suddenly registered that the text was not quite what I would expect...

It is freshers week. So far I have seen them queueing to register in the library, and watching large men set fire to office equipment in the square. The lack of a reading room is my procrastinatory excuse du jour.

I really love today's xkcd.

The Ladybird book is brilliant.

That ladybird book is brill. I love the policeman who cycled after a nervous suspect and PC Barbara best. She may look a little sad, but she isn't.

I also love how XKCD includes Ford Prefect on their diagram. AS WELL THEY SHOULD.

Oooh I remember the 'setting fire to things in the square' presentation. I got to use a fire extinguisher on a cooker. Thrills!

That's really quite funny....

I love PC Brian Plectrum.

Thanks to you, my dinner is probably burning as I read the Police Book.

That is, however, worth a burnt dinner.
