Actually in some circumstances the previously used "a vey poor one" can be correct. When the collective, in this case the police, consists of only a single person, which I believe to be so in this particular case , you may indeed use "a very poor one".

Since when are we checking people's grammar on these forums? Stop talking about it and let it go, all of you.

Oh AD..just a bit of fun mate. I think you'll find 'let it go' is grammatically incorrect..

You cant be "a police".

You would have been better to say something along the lines of
"As you seem to be a member of the grammar police and not a very good one, it is my duty to inform you that

'Awhile' blah blah blah"

You can also use a comma before and when linking two statements together (MadTommy is pedantic, and is never pleased).
This is what dtacs and yourself have done in your posts, both of which are correct.

What's more, it is acceptable in English grammar to use a comma in conjunction with the word and if it's a serial comma (i.e. the last in a list - a torch, a map, a compass, and a pencil).

At least that's what I was taught when doing my A level.

Damn, I've been foiled!

I always was terrible at English.. my wife is a teacher.. when she starts talking about grammar and rules of the English language i tend to refer to laws of thermodynamics to throw her off the scent.. that way neither of us have a clue what the other is saying.

Anyway, great podcast.

quite entertaining guys, thanks for the podcast
this might be a cool thing to do just before every major PR patch just to introduce the new stuff coming up but in a more personal way than just posting it up on the forums
