Happened again! A police officer who wet himself when he wasn't relieved in time during the Commonwealth Games in Edinburgh last year has received an apology from police bosses for the embarrassment he suffered.

I somehow doubt he'd have needed too many words to reveal his condition to the ignorant shopkeeper.

Not normally, but it might do if you've been standing on parade for hours. Poor bloke must have been at bursting point.

Pinched from elsewhere, but ... not that I revel in anyone else's misfortune but I've just read a post on the Hammers board which cruelly tickled my warped sense of humour. Some bloke has posted about how disgusted he was with a response to his nephew who is a copper. Apparently his nephew was on duty at an Opening of Parliament event, or similar, in central London and after absolutely ages without being relieved, he was beyond desperate for the toilet for a wee. Eventually, he had to ask to be stood down, seemingly to the annoyance of senior officers, and he hobbled off in search of a loo. However, being unfamiliar with the area he didn't know where to go and went into a small shop and asked/pleaded to use the toilet - but the shopkeeper refused, saying he was fed up with people asking. Guess what? The young officer just couldn't wait and "did it in his trousers" in the street before he could find anywhere else!! His uncle has posted a furious tirade asking how anyone could be so heartless as the shopkeeper. His nephew was apparently, and unsurprisingly, left humiliated by what happened. I know it's not really funny and must have been awful for him but on the other hand ... a small sense of irony, do you think? How many times has a copper done a nick for someone peeing down an alleyway?

Could have been worse - he could have done a Snodgrass!! A couple of years back when Robert Snodgrass was playing for Leeds against Rotherham in a cup tie, he got caught short during the game and ran from the pitch towards the dressing room but didn't get there in time and released a mega-packet in his pants before he made the touchline - white shorts too!!!! Thankfully it wasn't being covered by live TV.

Poor Dickson!! LOL

I'm sure I remember reading somewhere that Marshall finished his career at Brentford and in his first game for them he also scored an OG!!

Who was this, then? (from DS forum) ... "I'm not a massive football fan but just read an article about a Southampton footballer who scored in his own goal (or was involved in an own goal) in a recent big game with Manchester United ... "it put the cap on a bad week for him because a few days before he'd got held up in traffic on the way to training and flooded his pants in the car!"
