Well, the sun is out, temperature has gone up a few degrees, the snow is melting rapidly, and my mood has instantly lifted!

Out on my first job now and even the prospect of dealing with Talk Talk isn't quite so depressing now.

Trust me - none of them looked anything like that!

Closest I've come to anything like that was when a friend had a fancy dress party with a theme of 'Not Real People' and I went as Noodle from Gorillaz from the Melancholy Hill video. I made the dress from something found in a charity shop and customised it with ribbon and fabric paint and got the gloves there too, the gun from the toy shop, the mask I made from foamboard which I cut and painted. I temporarily dyed my hair purple and blue and also created the black eye bruising with face paints. It was fun creating the outfit and my nephews got me to wear it all again for Halloween.

That's Mr LPH, he went as Caitlyn Kardashian!

Lancashire Plodary.

Last night I took the daughter and her partner to watch the Courteeners playing at King Georges Hall Blackburn. It isn't a big venue. But the town was crawling with plod, Cars, Vans and even horses. For a warm up gig in a one horse town.

I got an early shout to collect them after the gig. It turns out the plod have shut every town centre bar. Probably the busiest night of the year so far and plod decide to cut every bar/pubs revenue stream. Despite there being no trouble.

So they are there on mass, on overtime, how do we keep the OT going. Lets put a couple of thousand kids on the streets at 10:00pm and we have to be there on OT because of the number of people with nowhere to go. Blackburn town centre is deadsville, the few remaining bars would have welcomed the extra footfall.

Talk about provoking problems.

That does sound like overkill. A reasonable approach would have been to have plod on OT and very visible in town but only react if needed.
