£275, no serious damage..

Dont know what that means!

I saw a 340 BLUE line today. Was I asleep at the wheel again?

If one got scrapped and squashed would it be the thin blue line?

thin red line works for me
Based on the novel by James Jones, THE THIN RED LINE tells the story of a group of men, an Army Rifle company called C-for-Charlie, who change, suffer and ultimately make essential discoveries about themselves during the fierce World War II battle of Guadalcanal. The story takes place as Army troops are moved in to relieve battle-weary Marine units. It follows their journey, from the surprise of an unopposed landing, through the bloody and exhausting battles that follow, to the ultimate departure of those who survived.

The story is more than a tale of men fighting a key battle, one which would ultimately stem the Japanese advance through the Pacific Islands. It explores the intense bonds that develop between men under terrible stress, even evil; to Jones, who served with an Army unit in Guadalcanal, the soldiers' feelings and emotions developed into nothing less than a sense of love...of family. The horrors of war helped them lose their idea of self and of the world around them. They were no longer fighting solely for patriotic reasons or the larger world and its issues which had brought them there; they were fighting for survival and for the men next to them.

much better than a tv series about gay coppers


The Thin Blue Line
UK, BBC (Tiger Aspect), Sitcom, Colour, 1995
Starring: Rowan Atkinson, Serena Evans, James Dreyfus
Blackadder alumni - writer Ben Elton, star Rowan Atkinson - reunited for this sitcom, centred around Gasforth police station. But although Atkinson's character was the focus of attention, this was very much an ensemble piece, with Elton attempting to create a series with the comedic style of Dad's Army a series he greatly admires.

Atkinson was cast as Inspector Raymond Fowler, the head of the station and an old-fashioned, by-the-book policeman, scrupulously honest and totally dedicated both to the job in hand and to his team of uniformed officers. These comprise his desk sergeant, Patricia Dawkins, Fowler's girlfriend of 10 years standing; veteran of the force PC Gladstone, an unexcitable and rather pedestrian officer; the fey and eager PC Goody; and Indian PC Maggie Habib, the level-headed, brightest one of the bunch. These uniformed officers clashed constantly with the other occupants of the station: the plain-clothed detectives, led by DI Grim and DC Kray. Considering themselves a cut above the 'beat' officers, Grim and Kray liked to believe that anything they were working on was more important than routine police duties. This 'enemy-within' scenario echoed the Verger and ARP Warden irritants in Dad's Army - and, again in the style of that earlier series, the storylines revolved more around the interplay of the characters than the task they were assigned: here it was catching criminals; in Dad's Army it was preparing for war
