Hi there, 200.

My wife follows your blog, and often reads out bits she thinks I’ll find interesting/amusing. Have you got your copy of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 yet? When you start playing online, please look out for me (sas470)… I’d like to team up with you and show the youngsters what age and experience can do! Hope to see you on the ‘battlefield’ soon.

Fee- if your hubby likes proper games then get him a proper console for Xmas- it would be to a man what flowers, chocolate, romance and diamonds are to a woman.

Snap! My copy is on order too. I picked up Call of Duty Modern Warfare 1 for £20 a couple of months ago, it`s pretty intense stuff and good fun. The trailer for the sequel is good too.

I see a police based game being more like those old fashioned text adventures where you had to type your instructions.

PLAYER: Use loud voice
COMPUTER: That does not work
PLAYER: Use metal stick
COMPUTER: That does not work
PLAYER: Use CS spray
COMPUTER: You do not have CS spray
PLAYER: Use pistol
COMPUTER: You do not have pistol
PLAYER: Call backup
COMPUTER: You do not have backup
PLAYER: Kiss ass goodbye
COMPUTER: You do not have ass
PLAYER: Strike
COMPUTER: Strike is illegal at this time
PLAYER: Run
COMPUTER: You try to run but a mountain of biros and paperwork bog you down
PLAYER: Help
COMPUTER: You do not have help

Fee – you’d better believe it!

200 – this is without doubt the funniest post I have ever read on your (or any other Police, for that matter) blog. I haven’t laughed so much since the last R/T car was sent bacl to the menders twice in the same shift!!

If it was a true Police game then the fucker would crash repeatedly as nothing ever works properly. I’d like the car chase when you get to try and “follow” a stolen Suberu in a 1.4 Diesel astra around a housing estate before loosing it after 30 seconds then sloping off for a kip by the allotments on night shift.

You could bring out an expansion pack for it called “Community Coppering” where you get to have tea drinking competitions with colleagues and then get shouted at by Councelors at forum meetings.

The end prize could be when you finaly get to be promoted to Inspector and get a blow job off the Pretty Blonde PCSO.

Does anyone know if this is out (or expected) for the Wii? My hubby loves these games, and Christmas is coming …

Work that idea into a proper pitch 200 and see if it floats. There’ve been a few games that incorporated ‘work’ in them (as work fits into a computer game).

If the private sector isn’t biting, then pitch it to the police as an ‘Online Training Aid’. Doing it online will give the feel of having to wait for other people not on your shift to do something before you can move on with your job.

Was in my local Tesco around 11:30 getting some bits and bobs and noticed a line to one side of the store… Which was running the length of the store.

Easily over a hundred folk in just that one store and the line was bigger as I left a few minutes later. So I can well believe it’ll make major bank in the next day or so.

I remember playing the original Call of Duty some years back, was actually a very immersive experience – like actually being in Saving Private Ryan or Band of Brothers. Never played the later ones.
