Slow Day In Merry Old England?

It seems the cops have nothing better to do.....

Twelve British police officers raided a pub in the rural England this week, in pursuit of a missing wooden cup that some believe to be The Holy Grail.

After receiving a tip that the missing artifact was seen in the 15th century Herefordshire pub at The Crown Inn, police executed a search warrant. They looked under floorboards and used fiber optic cameras to thoroughly examine the building.

So a dozen cops wasted their time and money looking for a phony relic of a phony crucifixion brought to England by a fictional character.

Assholes.

Everyday is a slow day. I gather they never completed the quest for the holy grail.

Any reason to go to the pub is a good reason.

By the way, this is nothing compared to the lack of news where I live. The local newspaper once ran "Cat stuck up tree" as it's front page headline, and another time, the front page story basically just acknowledged the existence of potholes.

Meanwhile, with the Grail still MIA, deve dog molesters were raping the Queen's Corgis . . .

Potholes are important.
