Posted on March 4, 2020 by Dreamaticus

The silver Volvo was now our responsibility. TPR parked it haphazardly at the other end of our Edinburgh street, even though there were plenty of parking spaces right outside our flat. Was he ashamed of our vehicle, I wondered? I … Continue reading →

Posted on February 9, 2015 by Dreamaticus

Posted on February 21, 2012 by Dreamaticus

There was a scuffle in the street and the idiot policeman dropped his taser gun. He made no move to pick it up so a passer-by walked off with it, firing lasers into the sky. This could only end badly.

Posted on January 13, 2012 by Dreamaticus

Nun murder: rally driver Rousse carries clues in her car

Posted on September 19, 2011 by Dreamaticus

I drove the red hire car like a maniac rally driver, screeching round corners and off-roading where necessary. This was not deliberate, but due to a lack of familiarity with the car’s controls. Shod in wellies, I also kept missing … Continue reading →

Mention of Elton John and exotic work trips sets off swoon (Rousse)

Posted on May 31, 2011 by Dreamaticus

When the policeman searched my Birmingham hotel room for weapons he found the bicycle chain slotted down the side of the bed. Surprisingly my claim of possible self-defence was accepted. The next day I set off for my meeting at … Continue reading →

Belle, Bonnie and Clyde

Posted on January 7, 2011 by Dreamaticus

A party and a police officer (Belle)

Posted on December 10, 2010 by Dreamaticus

It had been a big night out. At some point I had been wearing night vision goggles at a party where everyone was having a wild time except me. There was a steamy sauna and lots of loud music. The … Continue reading →
