An arresting sight for the letter AEvening all.
What have we here then Sonny Jim? The laughing Policeman perhaps? All rights reserved image? The Old Bill (nah, that's the one you get for the use of the image) or maybe it's just a bloke doing his job. Stop thief! The Police are back from walking on the moon and keeping the (not so mean) streets of the Isle of Man clean. Hey let's be careful out there and do it to them before they do it you. Allo, Allo, Allo is a lovely quaint term of endearment for the boys in blue, best said of course with a Cockney accent. No, no no, not Dick Van Dyke allllllwight Mare -wree Poppppinnns way, more your Pearly Queen me and my gal, doing the Lambeth Walk(Oi!) underneath the arches Flanders & Swan way. Clear as mud eh? It's just a copper doing his job. Believe me don't nick him all you'll be the one doing time.
As you can see humour has been restored to the blog. For more A's around the world clickety click this word here.
By the way did you notice our Policeman have white helmets. Aren't you jealous. We just have to be different don't we.

Does the restoration of humor indicate a resolution of problem I hope? Have the scurvy image pirate dogs of Virgin Media been clapped in irons and had their timbers shivered? Didja make 'em walk the plank? Dish girl, tell it all!
Mojo - I'll email you tomorrow but contact has been made through the comments box on the post below. Just love your turn of phrase.
Arresting. Interesting take on the theme.
Sydney - City and Suburbs
Babs, delighted to read your news about your photo. Good to see you back with the banter.
Babooshka well done. Well done more so for doing it without Isle of Man Government or newspaper support. I would still contact them though just to rub it in on the story they missed. Shame on them. They will want a piece of it now won't they?
Is this photo in Laxey?
LL - it is indeed Laxey. Same copper from the LBS. Saving him for a suitable post like this. Cheers for all your support. I agree with you about certain missed opportunities re the newspapers, but their loss. Power to the people, Manx and the rest of the world on this one.
Now I really must get some sleep.
Now this sounds more like the Babooshka I follow. Sure hope you've solved the Virgin Media issue. Your voice has been heard.
Now, you point out, indeed, they wear white helmet. I think the other police or guard who also wear the white helmet are the one of Monaco.
smiles.
Good cop or bad cop? Cops and robbers? No cop hats like that here!
I like the "allo" expression. Makes the police sound friendly.
An Alluring and arresting image indeed!
White hats and yellow jackets, they sure arnt going to sneak up on anyone.
«Louis» hopes you sicced 'im on Virgin Media!
Good news on the Virgin Media front! And a great "A".
Oh my God.....You're scraping the barrel with some of those old puns aren't you Babooshka. See you're back on form. Great news about Virgin, well done. Cracking A as well. keep up the great work.
Does this picture make you feel safe?
One of my daughters could speak with a cockney accent now she has an Australian accent. I tried both accents,but somehow you can here that I am a Dutchie. LOL. Thanks for the humour!
Babooshka, I'm glad that humour has been restored to your blog!
allo off to Letsby Avenue to find my lost Flanders & Swann tapes - ta fer t'reminder
HaHa! That's better. I didn't like the no sense of humour posts.
good on you! power to you too!
Very fitting for the situation - I hope you'll have the thieves Arrested...
That's a very neon jacket for a policeman.
Until you told me about the white helmets I thought it was a Royal Marine in drag :-)
Enjoyed your post.
Happy helmet here!
Allo, yourself> Quite arresting, in a day-glo kinda way.
Hats off to you B. Maybe you could send the boys in blue round to you know who.
OK, Mutiny is over just awaiting the Bounty...lol
I must say, I am well impressed with the power of the net....
Your post to-day is very appropriate....:-)
MMMMMMMMMMMM gotta love men in uniform.
Hallo!
great take on A and I love the photo as well.
Always fun to visit you. Happy Wedn.
From the comments I can see that the Virgin issue has been resolved. Can't find your comments though. Maybe I am blind. Glad it is sorted. Love to hear the results and how they justified or excused themsleves. White helemts eh. Does that mean they are the good guys.
LOL! That's funny!
'Ello, 'ello, 'ello, what's goin' on 'ere, then ... ?' That's a blast from the past, eh? Dixon of Dock Green walks again!
Great take on A. :)
So what's the news on the picture?
Hi!
Great "A" post! Thanks for all the info. Have a great day!

Can't get your photo, but love your text!
Very AMUSING! lol
He is about to make an arrest of the person who is using your photos! In that case, A is for A-men!
I love his hat! & a great A post too!
Hee Hee, enjoyed that!
I am sorry but I have had to wait until I stopped laughing before I could comment... the bit that cracked me up was the colour of the 'Bobbies Hat' and the smart alec reply that came to my head... of course I could not lower the tone of such an excellent blog.
The IOM as been featured on our local news station... Granada Reports.. it seems you are now in the North West... we get all your beautiful views and you get our resident madman weatherman Fred Talbot.. If you have not caught him yet try to do so..

My blogs today show a Gypsy Waggon and a Weather Vane
ah yes, why was his helmet white?
Great, just great!
It is not allowed to make photos of policeman in Latvia unless you have a journalist license.
