You're a loose cannon, and there's no place for you on the force! I don't care if it goes all the way to the mayor's office! You got your partner killed, and you're gonna get yourself killed! Turn in your badge and your gun officer! You're supposed to be a cop, not a one man wrecking machine!

Listen chap, maybe they'll let you wave that cannon around on the streets of New York, but this is Britain and it's just not on. I'll have to ask you to hand it over.

And the one in your shoe.

You can take my badge and you can take my gun, but you can't take the cop out of me, Kowalski.

*Jabs the badge into the woodwork

Maybe a little more training is in order.

No, no, I'm the by-the-book straight-laced one who has to learn to bend the rules. Dave's the loose cannon, anything-to-win guy. Jeez.

Boyzone? Then I have a special coy moose-ass picture to share. This fetching li'l bull magnet is putting it all out there, hu-guh-guh-goooo!

Hey, Chief, tell the Feebs I've gone for the day. And if Internal Affairs comes sniffing around tell them you ain't seen me. And if my ex-wife happens to call, you don't know where I am.

I'll be at my desk eating a meatball sandwich.

Sorry, you have me pegged wrong; I'm actually a malevolent genius who, in between plotting global destruction, likes to spend his leisure moments sipping fine wine and listening to heartbreakingly beautiful arias with his eyes closed as he rapturously (but sorta limply) waves his hand in the air along to the music.

YOU DO NOT WANT TO DISTURB ME AS I AM DOING THIS.

I'm the gosh-darnit country hick sheriff who comes to the Big City to track down the man what done killed my paw and is accidentally put on the trail of a serial-killing genius conducting an international drug ring.

I'm the renagade toilet assistant who doesn't like to listen to what the big boys up in head office say. I've seen messes that'd make grown men cry. On days off, I drink whiskey in a partly shadowed room and mourn the loss of my wife. There are some things I'd like to flush, even though my boss tells me that, damnit, I can't beat the cistern.

*apologises for use of old (but good) joke*

This is your last warning, taz and dodgy, fix the CSS on the comment pages so that wide images don't get cut off before the edge of the page, or TURN IN YOUR METABADGES.

Sorry: usually, I'm the Sergeant from "Hill Street Blues" who always says "Be careful out there."
