Dragging my feet a little with this but it’s time to catch up with Clare’s Share Your Desktop Challenge 😎👍

On the Gaming PC this month I have a screenshot from a police game called The Precinct. In the game you start as a rookie cop assigned to the Averno City Police Department. Built in a retro top down style, the game looks good and is fun to play despite a few bugs and anomalies – Which the Devs are working on. Centred around on-duty shifts in patrol areas, the game emphasises correct Police procedures and incorrect actions are penalised. Meanwhile, the criminals don’t play by the rules and it’s quite easy to wind up being killed in the line of duty! You never know what each shift and crime intervention will bring. Here’s a textbook stop of a motorist who was driving in an erratic manner…
…Tipped off by radio that someone had reported a drunk driver, I saw him coming and blipped the siren while pulling across the road to impede his passage. From there it was a case of following procedure. Check his ID – smell of alcohol from the car so asked to step out. Searched the suspect – found Narcotics and Counterfeit Sunglasses. Then breathalysed him before checking the boot for any other illegal items – none found. Driver arrested for DUI and Possession. You can see the points awarded for each of these actions on the upper left. Normally Counterfeit items wouldn’t warrant an arrest, only a fine, but in this instance he’s going in anyway. The Number 12 car arrived while this was going on and promptly drove into the parked vehicle – I did say there were some bugs🤣 At least they were there to escort our prisoner back to the precinct 👍
On the Photo PC I have a shot taken at Clapham Junction of 66143 weaving its way across the points to route through platform 6 with an aggregates train…
…The train has come from Angerstein Wharf in Greenwich where sand and gravel dredged from the Thames Estuary and the Channel are processed for the construction industry. It is on route to Woking where there is an aggregates distribution yard. The mixed housing and office blocks of Battersea and Nine Elms form a backdrop in the heat haze.
No change on the mobile phone desktop.
