No, I didn't misquote anything.
You're not careful, you're obsessed and you like to change the argument to suit. You initially said that the COLP statement referred to Bird as a specialist, I said it didn't and it doesn't. Everything he states about himself, shows that he thought of himself as a novice and the fact that he'd only done the role twice - proves it. You can bang on about full stops and comprehension as much as you like, it won't change the fact that Bird was inexperienced. Not and idiot as you said I implied, simply INEXPERIENCED IN THE ROLE OF PHOTOGRAPHER! Cook directed him at the scene, a specialist would have taken control.
Ha! Pathetic moron! It's taken you the best part of 4 hours to dream that one up.
Where?
This is Bird in conversation with Supt McKay.
"Supt MCKAY. With the greatest respect to you you were there as a photographer.
BIRD. I was down at the other end of the scale so to speak. Well I was. There's no one lower than me. The van driver and photographer."
Then there's this.
"BIRD. Yeah. A spare pair of hands if they need it. But my main job is to produce the photographic album.
Supt MCKAY. Ok you then go on to the mortuary on the same day obviously to do your specialist job again, take the photographs, yeah."
I've quoted, to the best of my knowledge, accurately, to a comma. I have NO idea what meaning Gringo is trying to attach to it, but it reads to me exactly as if whilst McKay is doing his damdest to push a "specialist" label onto Bird -although why this should be so important, only he can judge- Bird is refuting this at every stage. In his final sentence, it sounds as if McKay has heard enough of Bird disagreeing with him. This time, he doesn't ask a question of Bird -the omission of a question mark isn't mine- he makes a statement of the fact that he believes it to be. Now, I can't say for certain, but I'm fairly sure there isn't an acquiescing response from Bird in which he concedes himself to be what Gringo is claiming him to be, for the simple reason that Caroline would NEVER leave herself open to ridicule in such a way.
Ha ha. You are both unintentionally comedy gold.
I'll go through some of your most idiotic ramblings.
Caroline posted this: The Bamber case was his second as photographer while he was engaged on the lab treatment.
It is the CAL hearsay. When I pointed out the ambiguity and questioned the qualifying, "while he was engaged on the lab treatment" part of the sentence, you posted this:
What is it you find difficult in the sentence ...... 'The Bamber case was only his SECOND as photographer' - It doesn't say it was his second time 'while on the course' - you're amazing, you just invest stuff.
I then pointed out that you are misquoting yourself as well as making false accusations to me and still you deny it. Care to comment?
You are still denying that it is stated that Bird is a specialist and ask; "Where?"
DS Young: Actually could I clarify that bit. Am I right in saying that it's actual your, when you were
headquarters, it was your specialist role for major incidents.
PC Bird: There was three of us as that specialist role.
Supt. McKay: Of taking photographs
PC Bird: Yeah
You pathetically dispute this by claiming it only says that he does a specialist role, not that he is a specialist. Nobody but you interprets this as meaning that Bird isn't a specialist. It is self evident that Bird and the other two officers are all specialists. There is no ambiguity really.
The full interview which I will link to is even more clear when read in full that Bird's role was photographer and that he was clearly a specialist. Given that he was employed as a police photographer (court record), he is also by definition a professional photographer. Caroline and Jane have selectively quoted and deduced wholly misleading interpretations in a transparent and failed attempt to give a false impression of Bird's status. Full COLP interview linked below. Worth reading and everyone can see your duplicity:

...Now, I can't say for certain, but I'm fairly sure there isn't an acquiescing response from Bird in which he concedes himself to be what Gringo is claiming him to be, for the simple reason that Caroline would NEVER leave herself open to ridicule in such a way.
Here is the rest of that part of the interview:
Bird: Yeah. A spare pair of hands if they need it. But my main job is to produce the photographic album
McKay: Ok you then go on to the mortuary on the same day obviously to do your specialist job again, take the photographs, yeah
Bird: Yeah
It is in the link above. But at least that's one little mystery cleared up for you. You now can be certain that Bird did "give an acquiescing response in which he concedes himself to be what Gringo claims". It is contrary to what you were fairly sure about but at least you can be certain now.
It also may cause you to question your own reasoning. It is obviously and demonstrably not a wise decision to hang your reasoning on the belief that: Caroline would NEVER leave herself open to ridicule in such a way.
She just has by your own definition.
Would have posted earlier but amongst other things had a bit of company round and earlier was cooking and baking. Home made Hunters Chicken and a home made with fresh ingredients Lemon Meringue. Lovely with a cuppa and a nice joint whilst exposing your duplicity.
And I didn't forget you in my endeavours and in response to your kind invitation earlier,
Think you need to walk the dog, fix your car or
bake a pie before you burst a blood vessel.
I baked you a Humble Pie. And if you have read this far then you have just had it.
