That's about as funny as poking myself in the eye just when I'm about to fall asleep. Or getting a 200kg guy to kick me in the ballbags as hard as he can. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought perhaps it was a ferang he tried to shake down, who told the policeman to 'koff, causing the need for the cough medicine.

Maybe being open at the later hours she should consider some better security measures, being close to the plod station obviously doesn't work.
