God, I thought, Mum’s going to be upset if the rapture arrives and Jesus looks like Robin Williams. - Ben Aaronovitch

I’m not a peacock, but on occasion I like to dress to impress, although like most coppers I don’t wear much in the way of bling. The rule being never wear something around your neck that you don’t want to be strangled with.

Was it better to die in the illusion of sunshine and warmth or face death in a cold darkness of reality? Was it better to die in happy ignorance or terrified knowledge? The answer, if you’re a Londoner, is that it’s better not to die at all.

It’s no fun looking down on people if you can’t let them know you’re above them.
