Nominees for Dull Men of Year: London Police

London Police . . . actually, police throughout England:

• Inaction during the riots — stood by and watched

• Now spending two years watching 40,000 hours of CCTV footage to arrest the looters

Can anyone thing of a duller way for policemen/women to carry out their duties?

Other Nominees — so far this year

• Michael Kennedy, Hunstanton, Norfolk, UK

• Terry Green. He’s “Mr Queue,” the voice heard 30,000,000 times at 8,000 locations throgh the U.K. — “Cahsier number three, please.”

• Keith Richards.
