Forms and more forms

[anyanka_eg]

Last night I had the police round. Nothing to do with me, they were doing house to house inquiries because a women was murdered in the next street about 3 weeks ago. I didn't know her. I'm not even sure I've ever seen her before. She was stabbed and her teenage daughter found her, which was awful for her and her brother.

Anyway, last night there was a knock at the door and I found two very cold looking policemen on my door step. When they came in they said they were glad of the warmth but also kind of annoyed I was in as they now had to fill the forms in. I didn't realize, until we got through them, that they had reason to hate the forms. There was a sensible one with contact details and questions about did I know her, see anything etc. He barely had to fill that in as I was at work when the murder happened and I didn't know her.

The other guy had the stupid form. Contact details again and then loads of stupid questions about me. How tall am I? Do I have tattoos? A car? What type of eyebrows do I have? Seriously the eyebrows question was on there but he obviously didn't ask about the eyebrows just checked a box (I'm kind of intrigued as to find out what type of eyebrows I do have). He had to ask me if I wore contact lenses. When said yes, he had to ask what for.  I said 'for seeing, of course' which equated to the 'normal usage' check box apparently. Crazy form.

On the plus side the one with the daft form really was a fine, strapping young man. And they were both a bit of a comedy double act. Nice guys.

*huge grin* I don't think there is a job on the planet with more paperwork than police work. I am glad that the officers who came to interview you were nice guys and good eye candy. ;-)

Seriously, nose hair. There was loads of stuff he was filling in, obviously based on what I looked like. He asked if I had any distinguishing features. I just pointed at my hair (it's bright red) and he laughed and said he meant tattoos. Remember this is a form filled in for someone who didn't know the victim, lived 2 streets away and was out at work in a different city for the entire time they were interested in.
