Fic: Door to Door, white cortina, by Sytaxia

[sytaxia]

The citizens of Manchester were used to it by now.  Every so often, every street would see a bronze Cortina screech to a skittering halt on the curb, and several coppers would pour out of it, and start making the rounds in whatever neighborhood it was that they were making inquiries in.  Occasionally, it would be the upper-ranking detectives that

After making me all sad with the fic below, you just made me laugh out loud with this one. Gene's and Sam's voices were 100% spot-on, and I loved the betting pool idea.

Hah, I'm so glad that the voices were right for you, and that betting pool was funny :) Thanks!

Neato!
Liked what you did with the title, you creative lady you :)
Oh those poor people, I doubt they knew what hit 'em :D After all, being confronted with Sammy Boy and The Gene Genie does tend to fill one with shock and awe. And confusion followed by betting, apparently ;)
I don't mind the lateness at all :)

[sytaxia]

Hee, so very glad that you liked! And happy belated birthday!

Gene ripping the photograph out of Sam's hand and "translating" was one of the early moments where I fell in love with that character so I love this!

Oh and ♥ the ending! The description of Gene as the "officer that talked like a human" is still making me chuckle.

Thanks!

as like a ripe peach arse like a ripe peach?

Oh, thanks so much, I'm glad that you liked it. That scene was the first thing that popped into my mind when I read the title... And thanks for the tip on the typo - fixed it!

Ah and now you cheered me up again! You're so clever!
This is just bloody hilarious. You've caught the pair of them perfectly, and of course Gene would always come across as the more human of the two - his gut instinct knows the people on his patch and how to deal with them. Remember Mrs Raimes and the pink wafers!
Please can we go live in Rockwell Street and twitch our net curtains whenever the cops squeal into view?

[sytaxia]

Hehehe, one day, we shall all live on Rockwell Street... And Gene will always know how to deal with the people on his patch! Thanks so very much, I'm glad that you liked it :)

I think you are going to make "Queen of the Internets" two days in a row. This is so original and funny that I bow to your awesomeness.

Oh, thank you so very much, I'm very glad that you liked it!
