A police woman just touched me on the shoulder

And said "Are you ok?" It could have been a heartstopping moment but it was comfortable

No handcuffs were produced; no warrant.

I write about the police under my own name; so it seems reasonable to on nodding terms with them.

I have talked to people who think that is unreasonable. (and maybe a bit dangerous)

But I take the view that the ordinary officer has no real say in the big decisions. so, what the hell

So if you knew this policewoman why could it have been a 'heartstopping moment' or 'unreasonable' or 'dangerous'? Your story has more holes than a teabag.

GabbyLoggon · 04/02/2011 15:37

In my book there were one or two criticisms of the boys in blue. But they seem to have taken it well.

Yes, quicki...I should probably have put the serious bit in first. "Gabby"

Is your book about cancer or the police Gabby? (completely Confused)

scurryfunge · 04/02/2011 15:38

Gabby, tell us more about the books you write. I'd love to read one.

GabbyLoggon · 04/02/2011 15:38

chil I happens to be true . Please withdraw the slander. "Gabby"

Have some pages in this thread got stuck together or something?

(still befuddled)

Chil1234 · 04/02/2011 15:41

Do you think... possibly... the policewoman sees you sat there in your flat cap, scribbling all day and takes pity on you for being the local 'oddball'? Humouring you, basically?

Gabby,it would be a bestseller...
You MUST write a book...

A little red book like 'The thoughts of Chairperson Gabby'.

charlieandlola · 04/02/2011 15:43

Completely barking. Wine

ChickensHaveNoEyebrows · 04/02/2011 15:46

Right. Let me summarise.

You write books.
The police officer asked you if she could read one.
You found out she had cancer and was off duty for a while.
She tapped you on the shouldre recently to ask if you were ok.
You asked her if she liked the book.
She said yes.
You were relieved because you ahd included anecdotes about her colleagues.

Is that it? And, is that you John Grisham?

gobbledegoop · 04/02/2011 15:49

utterly mad!

GetOrfMoiLand · 04/02/2011 15:50

I absolutely LOVE gabbyLogon

I said on a thread the other day - he is not actually human, he is a new computer which has been designed by boffins to replicate human synapses, and they are testing out this computer on us lucky mumsnetters Grin

Sometimes though the computer's microprocessors get a bit overheated resulting in him spouting all sorts of strange shit like this thread.

thanks getorf xx

reelingintheyears · 04/02/2011 15:53

Gabby's alright...

I always imagine Anne Diamond if he were on 'the weakest link'?Grin

One of lifes innocents.

GabbyLoggon · 04/02/2011 15:54

Oh what a sad/happy story, thanks for sharing Gabby!

Cheers "Tragic"

reelingintheyears · 04/02/2011 15:56

I think MN should have a 'GabbyLoggon' fan club.

GabbyLoggon · 04/02/2011 15:56

reeling. Why do you want to let Chil2234
telling a direct lie on screen about me?

I urge you all to take a moment to read Gabby's profile. Everything will become clear then.

CalamityKate · 04/02/2011 15:58

Wow, "Gabby" is quite the reconteur!

Have you ever considered after dinner speaking?

LoopyLoopsPoopaScoop · 04/02/2011 16:00

I simply cannot believe you are a writer. Not a published one, at any rate. No self respecting writer would sign off in such a ridiculous fashion, surely?

OhForBoonessSake · 04/02/2011 16:01

i think some people are being quite rude.

GabbyLoggon · 04/02/2011 16:02

Lets get back to a sensible poster

chicken right but for the last one on your list.

I was a little WORRIED because I remembered I had written critical things about the police in the book and asked her to show it to her mates. cheers. |"Gabby"
