    Ever long for a peaceful life?

    PC Inglis will retire from his beat soon, the largest beat in Europe: Northern Sutherland (it's in the North of Scotland, in case some need to know).

    In 9 years on the beat, he has "never dealt with a murder, serious crime or drug offence" and never known anyone steal from another individual.

    In police terms that must almost count as semi-retirement. Anyone know an IT contract like that?

    Yep its called government work, overpayed and underworked long may the gravy train continue... toot toot all aboard.
    Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

      When I was contracting, I think all of my contracts involved one or more of them.

        Yes. Elsewhere was the crime-ridden cesspit of Inverness. He forgot to tell himself Mind How You Go.

          With that sort of nick rate I'm surprised he lasted 9 years.

            Ah Sutherland !

            An area I have the pleasure of visiting for over a week, there are no worlds to describe the serene and haunting beauty of this area , dont even think about visiting there the solitude must stay preserved.

            Honestly none of you would like it.

            Theres always Malaga or Manchester for that matter.

            Everyone is trying to get to the bar.
            The name of the bar, the bar is called Heaven.

            The band in Heaven plays my favorite song.

            They play it once again, they play it all night long.



            Heaven is a place where nothing ever happens.

            Heaven is a place where nothing ever happens.



            There is a party, everyone is there.

            Everyone will leave at exactly the same time.

            Its hard to imagine that nothing at all

            could be so exciting, and so much fun.



            When this kiss is over it will start again.

            It will not be any different, it will be exactly

            the same.

            It's hard to imagine that nothing at all

            could be so exciting, could be so much fun.



            Heaven is a place where nothing every happens.

                Smoo Cave!

                [on your map] Smoo Cave

                Wow! I like the sound of that.

                I could be the Smoo of Smoo Cave.

                Can I buy it?

                You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

                    quite so. No need really to mention it again.
