This is why the Council is Afraid of Harry Dresden (Spoilers)
Gman:
With the death of Peabody, I'm not sure there is going to be so much paperwork. ::)
Melendwyr:
There needs to be an addition:
"Dresden is believed to be the only mortal ever to give a bloody nose to an archangel."
(How do the British discuss trauma-induced nosebleeds without bringing in a (mild) offensive term, btw?)
Mr. Death:

What on earth is offensive about a nosebleed? ???

The British have been known to use the swear "Bloody Hell", I guess that is what is being referred to. Even though there is enough difference that I doubt it's even relevant.
Quantus:
I dont think it has to be "Blood Hell" so much as "Bloody [Blank]" but they have to be able to recognize the difference between the swear word and the literal usage. Otherwise their doctors officially have the worst bedside manner on the planet "Get that Bloody patient a tourniquet!"
