@sarsour1989 I know he didn't dial 999, it was probably the non-emergency number or the or a crime hotline.The police were probably very pissed off about this call, but if it had been the emergency number they would have thrown the fucking book at him.
one of the greatest things about this guy is that he's so normal. He does things and says things that you would do/say to your closest mates and it's very personal.
On top of that, he's freaking English. on top of THAT he's one of the funniest dudes in the world AND sexy.
Whats the point of putting up help lines for victims- hoping someone will identify an attacker. When you have famous comedians taking the piss. Feel sorry for the victim. Not clever really.
It was really funny, I mean I know he rang the police and that, but judging by their lax attitude and the amount of time they took to answer the phone, they weren't busy. I live in Northampton and people I know have tried to ring the police before, just no answer at all.
I sure hope that was't the police emergency phone number. God help this town if you have to wait that long for 999 to answer your call. You would have been robbed/stabbed/raped/runover by the time they picked up.
i was here this nyt it was great...no1 complained at the time...completely blown out of proportion...everyone was in stitches fab wud defo pay 2 go again!!!! xxxx

Hope audience members feel embarrassed if watching that back. That routine was cringeably awful and yet this fawning audience obligingly cheer along, in inexplicable hysterics. Brand is talented, but whilst some faded rock stars manage to sustain their careers on the gushing obsequience of desperate fanatics, in comedy it kills it dead. Comics need to be self-aware and not puffed up by unconditional admiration. Audiences beware, we always kill our stars!

People in the audience are ASSHOLES!! why? they are all laughing at a prick that has made himself part of a problem the uk has! false Police calls!! it has been known that when a prank call has been made! you could be dragging the police away from a real event that may turn fatal! a situation they could deal with in its early stages! BUT check up on the dickhead prank that has delayed their time!!!
It is not light hearted to clog up the emergency phone line with prank calls. Someone with a real emergency might be waiting on hold. It also wastes public resources. Plus others might immitate him if he does it in public, which makes it worse.
There was a documentry on emergency services that I saw! the storys they told about how a simple prank call can be very serious! make a difference between life and death! someone, somewhere may have phoned in hearing strange sounds outside? which turns out to be a weirdo breaking into their house 10 minutes later and stabbing them!! know what I mean!! the police/fire/medical people don't need to be pissed about!! their jobs are demanding!! and anyone who pranks them is a selfish moron!

Any prank call to the emergency services ties up resources, whether you go via 999 or another line.
Not everything that is funny is also right. Personally I find stomping on the heads of babies quite funny, but most mothers still ask me to refrain and I grudgingly do so. Hence, I can't see how 'it was funny if you were there' is any kind of valid excuse.
What the hell??? You find it funny stomping on the heads of babies? You are fucking sick, even if you're joking for effect you are sick. People making comments like that is evil after what happens to some children, like baby P. Have a heart and think about what you say.
For the love of god and everything thats holy, this town is in such a state! I have the misfortune to live in this shitbeam town and it puts the shits up you to realsie that the rozzers aint answering the phones! they're suposed to be a response unit so respond by answering the fucking phone. Russell you are a legend, thanks for proving that this town needs a new police force, maybe start looking in the Early learning centre for a replacement! Any northampton police reading this you are SHIT!!!
...Here's a couple of helpful hints for the hapless NN1 flatfooters: 1) If you can hear a peculiar-voiced caller's mates laughing in the background after each inexplicable comment they make then they're clearly taking the piss; 2) If you can hear bizarre acoustics and about one and a half thousand people guffawing heartily in the background after each patently unfathomable observation - and you ain't cutting them off pronto - then it seems that you're taking the fucking piss.
No wonder Northampton's police force topped the national league table for number of complaints received last year nationwide. They're one of the shoddiest, if not the most ineffectual Babylon clusterfuck in the country. I live in this godforsaken, insignificant, midlands netherworld and have worked in various joyless call centres of late and there's a tacit procedure adhered to by everyone from management to even the most thick-witted of staff - if it's clearly a prank call, hang up....

what a twat - tht cost's the police thousandsa and cuasse i in da polie i k no that that call had 2 b answered and i also know that it cost thousands - the woman on the line had no choice put to put up with the dickhead
There's no need to be like that. People are entitled to have opinions and they are going to have them, so what's the point in getting worked up about what someone else thinks?
