"The moon was mistaken for a "bright, stationary" UFO"

Stupid leek munching goat fuckers.

 

I worked for BT's 999 service in Glasgow during my student years. A
couple of funny events remain in my memory...

ME: 'emergency, which service?'
CALLER: 'ah want rah polis!'
ME: 'police, hold the line ..'
<clickety-click>
PLOD: 'strathclyde police..'
CALLER: 'is at rah polis?'
PLOD: 'this is the police'
CALLER: 'nah, ah want rah polis...'

Another time, a bloke calls to say his mate has just fallen from the top
of a block of flats in Springburn. Plod asks, 'is he dead?'

We had to stay on the line and listen, in case we were ever called to
court as a witness (I never was). Plus we had the name and address of
the number from which the 999 call was being made, and plod didn't (at
that time - may have changed since), so if the caller was playing silly
beggars, or simply incapable of talking, we'd reopen the mic and tell
them where it was. 'course, that meant that we had to hear the
hysterical mother literally _screaming_ down the phone, 'I can't waken
my baby!!' which were never very pleasant things to have to listen to.

Shock, horror.

Not such a daft question; a few years ago there was a **** fell 20
floors and landed on a car roof - had a broken ankle, iirc.
Otoh, my mate fell 20 floors and didn't have a broken ankle - every
other bit was though, and he was profoundly dead.

I thought the answer was "I'll go and check ..."
