My ma grew up beside Michael Stone and my granda used to tell me that he was a loner and none of the kids would play with him. He was adopted into a decent family but went off the rails when he was a teenager.
I think the troubles managed to give a lot of mental cases an excuse to be mental cases. It's no coincidence that the amount of normal crime has shot up since the bombs stopped, the dregs of society have no excuse now (well also we stopped shooting criminals in the kneecaps which hasn't helped the crime rate).
I think car crime is actually down. The joy riders realised they could buy a ****mobile for about 50 quid and just joyride that - if they are caught they get 3 points on a license they don't hold and it's not even an arrestable offence.
So I assume drug dealing is up on some estates? Then again the paramilitaries were involved in that years ago in places like the Murph & Short Strand.
I thought BBC TV services were only available to UK viewers though? You pay a BBC license fee in Monaco?
How can you miss them? Isn't the gun placed right up against the back of the knee? How can you miss from there you dozy sod.
I downloaded expatshield, then when the wee box came up asking if I paid my license fee, I just ticked yes. Crazy, I know, but that is just the way I roll!
You mad bastard And here's me thinking that you were computer illiterate I bow to you and your crzy license fee dodging ways
I am pretty much computer illiterate and if you promise not to tell I'll let you into a wee secret. When everybody is laughing at Acworth's statement about how people should use firefox instead of norton(or was it vice cersa?), I haven't a ****ing clue what they are on about!
