"Good Lord! I’ve just seen a chap beheaded in front of my very eyes!

My gosh, the way those police officers dealt with the gentleman in question! A female police officer drew her firearm and started firing without wasting any time whatsoever.

My friend, I have all kinds of shocking sights in my time, I must assure you. But I estimate that this particular incident would rank somewhere in the top three. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing - it was just like something one might witness in the moving pictures.

Two black gentlemen mowed down a white gentleman with their motor vehicle, jumped out and started chopping the unfortunate man’s head off with a machete!

Members of the public at the scene questioned their motives in doing so and they told us they had simply had enough! They appeared to be under the influence of some form of hallucinogen. Then they started waving a revolver in the air.

At this point the Police arrived at the scene. The local constabulary seemed somewhat disinterested in a standoff and waited for constables armed with firearms to arrive at the scene. There were also helicopters in attendance.

At this point they confirmed my suspicion that they were under the influence of an unknown substance as they moved towards two armed police officers armed only with two machetes and a rather rusty and dated pistol.

The first gentleman moved to attack the policewoman with a machete and she certainly wasted no time in neutralising the threat he posed to her – I must admit that I’ve never seen anything quite like it!

Then his accomplice attempted to fire the rusty pistol and it unfortunately backfired, blowing his finger clean off. The armed police attending the incident did not hesitate to act!

And I had merely popped out to the local greengrocers to buy some fruit and veg!"

ah nice to see someone au fait with the queens english

It actually took me a little while to translate some of that dicki.
