This one time, on 9 11 my sister was walking our goat under this tower when she was hit by a flagpole when it fell...

911 dispatchers tell cops where to go!

911 dispatchers do it with frequency!

We met in the local Moose Lodge. I was a radio operator in the Corps and she an operator for the 911.

Star crossed?

Bruce - that's obviously a public telephone near the coast.
As I said, I suspected it's a proper service, but I am (and always have been) near to the geographical point furthest away from the sea on this island. I'd never dare speak for the Coastguard, being all of approx 70 miles away

You did note the absence of a 9 key?

70 miles? That's almost beachfront in the wide ol' US of A. Funny thing is we actually have Coast Guard in Arizona.

Out here on the coast we dial 999 and are asked by dispatch - 'Fire, Police, Ambulance or Coastguard'? The CG then alerts RNLI, lifeboat service, and/or RAF rescue helicopters. Its a sort of cascade system and works well. Lifeboats can also be summoned direct by 'MayDay' signal or maroon rockets fired from on board, two rockets indicate souls at risk. Nothing is this world would induce me to take to the lifeboat, as crew that is. The waters here are as treacherous as anywhere on earth.

You just press the 3 three times. Don't they teach maths over here? if you can't figure that out, Darwin rocks.

If you are supposed to dial 999- that would be dialing 3, 9 times?

[mumblemumble] yes, I completely missed the joke first time round [/embarrassedmumble]

OMG it was a very slow Friday night and it really made these 12 hrs go by really slow! Thank goodness a co-worker left her laptop for me to use or I would have been bored beyond tears! I will be glad when mine gets fixed.

xoxoxoBruce · 01-16-2010, 06:51 AM

It may be boring but I'm pretty sure you don't want the alternative.

We had a domestic violence call earlier this week. Husband pushed the wife into a coffee table, she dropped the three year old she was holding. Kid smacked his head on the table on the way down and was bleeding pretty good. The husband was in the "oh my God I didn't mean to.." mode when we got there.
