My cottage was shaking. I thought Raoul Moat himself was trying to break down my door to shoot me. Quickly i looked out the window and to my astonishment the street was full of tanks and APC's. It was like D-DAY had come to Rothbury. Then about a dozen Apache gunships flew really low over my cottage. A soldier knocked on my door and when i answered it, he told me not to worry and it'll be all over soon as they have called in a B-52 airstrike and that the Doctor himself is involved in the hunt too. I think he meant Doctor Who. Oh, it's terribly frightening and exciting at the same time. I haven't felt like this since me Harold gave me one up against a Biffa bin in broad daylight behind Tescos.
