Well it is as you can imagine Mrs Biblio used to having the upstairs of the house to herself even when I am working from home was headed for her bath as God intended. I encountered her on the landing and accosted her. However in an effort to catch up with her in the lack of clothes I was rather hasty in using my foot to remove my trousers and I heard a sharp crack from the phone in my trouser pocket. Fortunately it is only a cheap phone & the damage is not too bad. But considering that neither of us are in the flush of youth it is a pretty embarrassing way to wreck your phone. Just glad it was not my work phone. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lard Bazaar 3,799 Posted July 10, 2020 Thieving fucking pikey cunts. The workshop my old man has been renting space in was broken into last night. We lost about 1200 quid’s worth of kit, perhaps not a huge amount however it will significantly impact the small amount of work he had coming in for the last few weeks. They left some bigger more expensive stuff that they are bound to come back for. Stuff that he has saved hard to buy and build up to make a business. How fucking dare somebody smash their way into someone else’s property, and steal? Who the fuck do they think they are? We’ve not only lost equipment, we’ve lost time, work and money. Thieves are pure fucking scum. I feel physically sick, livid, upset. My heart is aching for my old man, who at times is the biggest prick I know but he is a bloody hard worker and is the best at his game - yes I would say that but 30 years in a trade where everyone says ‘if you want that doing properly I know just the man’ - he is 20 stone of fucking hard bastard but he is fucking gutted, after getting no fucking help these last few months now this, I’ve never heard him sound so low. I’m venting on here because it’s fairly anonymous, and we can plot and exact our revenge without the Facebook grapevine alerting the dirty cunts to their imminent fate. I am not very happy. 3 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Being robbed is never nice. And those who do it are fucking scum, sadly I don't expect the boys in blue will try all that hard to actually help you. They might pretend to care a bit a bit more because it's a business that's been robbed but the reality is the reason this happens is the fuckers know they'll get away with it and if they don't the punishment will be nothing. Sympathy goes out to your old man, hope he can fix it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We didn’t bother to ring the police, its happened there before and they never do anything, and there was no cameras so nothing for them to go on anyway. Also if we’d rung the police it would give the game away when the little cunts’ severed dicks are found in Tesco bags in the Thames. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hate to say but you really should inform the police even if you don't expect them to do anything. Remember reading an interview with a cop years ago that pointed out the lack of reporting means they don't allocate extra patrols in areas and leads to loads more getting done in the same area - you'd get 10 robberies but crime stats would only show 1 so police do nothing. Use crimestoppers anon and give the general area if you don't want a formal investigation. It might save a neighbour from similar fate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I seem to remember a kid wrote to one of the supermarkets (Asda?) asking why it was called tiger bread when the pattern was more like a giraffe. I could be wring. I think the reason it caught on was because of the slightly 'off' taste. Supermarket ISB bread became so tasteless they probably had to do something. Slapping a bit of a topping on it was simpler (i.e. cheaper) than teaching everyone how to cook it properly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
