    By that point, I'd have just jabbed 1 until I got through to the head office, and then I would have asked them if they'd got anyway called Dr Zoidberg working there. Then I'd have hung up and gone off to talk to myself.

    What do you expect from Porirua? Dodgy part of the world that. Isn't the Police training college down there? Hope you didn't bleed to death whilst trying to get through to the doctor.
