The worse bit was, for me anyway, that he always came across as a bit weird. He was quite emo; I'm really into heavy metal so believe me I've seen the spectrum of weirdness in it's entirety (listen to Caninus if you get a minute). But he was always really awkward and we suspected he had a bit of a serial killer feel to him. He obviously didn't, he was just a bit shy and awkward living away from home for the first time. But to think we judged him like that, I felt terrible because this guy had to leave his course which he'd worked really hard to get onto to go and live hundreds of miles away and start over, when really it would've taken one person to step forward and say "he was with me". Not sure why his mate he was with didn't, maybe he did and it never got into the media. It's not right.
It's poorly put across but as NorthFerribyTiger says, it really should be, police need to speak to him regarding an incident, if anyone knows who he is or whereabouts then contact xxxxxx! For those who don't want to share it, then fair enough, but you could share it & be a little less accusing in your words. This is really no different to Crimewatch as they post photos of people who they wish to question & they don't show the videos of the incidents! Even worse are some of the photo fits that could be anybody sometimes. Admittedly I haven't seen Crimewatch for years so their photo fits may be better these days.
That's fair enough, but I think the point of this is the naming and accusing of the bloke as the thief before he's even spoken to the police. Not right at all.
Er, I'm not a professional journalist. I never have been. You're thinking of Quill. Although you're right, it should be whoever, as utter ****e is a subject not an object. I'll go get my orthopedic shoes.
Sweet baby Jesus! Your opinion of yourself is nothing short of remarkable. And obviously totally misplaced, you immature 27-year old jerk.
Who cares, it's the Internet. I'm this much of a **** in real life anyway, the only difference on here is I can't take enjoyment from your facial response. Immature 27 year old jerk, what an odd insult. Are you an American high school girl? Do you have first period biology? Ha. That works on more than one level. You see, I called you a girl, a young menstruating girl actually, then I added biology in there because girl parts (which you obviously have) are a part of biology. And I used the word period because that's what we say in the UK for that special 'time of the month', but over in the US they say period to mean classes at school. High school girls (and therefore you) have both kinds of periods; why, it's a menagerie of menstruation!
If you wanted to resort to casual ageism like him, you could have called him a deranged, senile old **** but it might have offended a significant demographic on this forum.
I don't know how old he/she is, but they do like to pick up on typographical errors quite a lot, must be a nightmare to play Scrabble with. Besides, I'll always be immature because my mindset will never quite match my actual age, but I'm at peace with those demons. But some older people have this week informed me that Star Wars is for children (presumably Indiana Jones and all it's - quite literally - face melting awesomeness is aswell), you can't play/talk/think about computer games if you're over 12 and that everybody is innocent until proven guilty unless you appear in a photograph with a namecalling caption underneath, in which case it's 20 years and a free ticket to the bum fight at the O-gay corral. I am now in favour of a Logan's Run style world.
I've had my age and maturity used against me on this forum in arguments but I just take it on the chin. Whenever it's brought up I just imagine that some of these are grown men in their 50s, 60s, 70s and even 80s arguing over the most petty things on the internet on a daily basis. I have nothing against most of the older posters but whenever I see one of them take the piss out of liking video games or Star Wars or whatever and questioning mine, Quill's or your maturity I just remember the times they started playground name-calling over transfer rumours or the name change and just laugh to myself.
If this thing hd broke into Dave Cameron's house and nicked a few quid, almost everyone on this forum would be applauding it. The fact it stole from from a mental health clinic and however that money was acquired is irrelevant. It stole a bit of cash. It didn't murder or rape anyone. It's a few bits of paper or metal with silly pictures on, there's plenty of it about. There's worse things to worry about.
Deary me! If the pronoun "I" were to be removed from your 'vocabulary', you'd have almost nothing left to say. FYI, I'm 2.6 times your age, father of four, grandfather of five, and was born and lived in 'Ull until I left to go to uni and develop a career elsewhere. I remember being your age; I only had two degrees and two children then. But I'm sure I could write a much more mature and offensive response than yours, at that time. You do realise you're really not doing your all-important rep any good? Have a joyous and reasonably sober festive season. For Christ's sake, amen.
Well I chose the travelling option rather than having children. It's on my to do list though. But enough about the Mrs. I'm sure you could write a much more mature and offensive response than the one I just did, but I'm pretty sure I could adopt a facetious air of non-compliance and totally ignore it, under the pretense that you're somebody I'm never going to meet and therefore can't really take very seriously. So too life; I enjoy it, I like to laugh. I don't care if you think it's immature, who are you? I'm only going to get one stab at life, why can't I enjoy it in a manner I see fit? Furthermore, as you're just over 70 years old, I imagine what passes as mature for you probably doesn't apply to people my age, social paradigms and all that. You've enjoyed some great years no doubt, so why play the maturity card? Just seems odd to do it to somebody you've never met or barely know anything about. But if we're playing the age game, I already own my own house, have a good job and I'm working towards my third degree with a view to doing a doctorate in education. I'm an astronmer, I used to have my own radio show, I have tried and failed at taxidermy and I really, really want to go skydiving before I'm 30. The reputation thing wasn't actually serious, I really couldn't care less.
That was a much better response; you write very well when you put your mind to it. Seriously -- well done (with absolutely no irony intended on my part). I apologise unreservedy for being so unnecessarily offensive to you (but I nonetheless still advise you to cut down on the 'I, I, I' bit). My first impression was wrong: you genuinely seem to be a nice, thoughtful young man. Stay the same, and I'm sure you will have a successful career and life. This does not mean we can't each have further goes at each other in future, as seems to be the rule on this ill-moderated board. Have a great Christmas and New Year!
i agree with mr.hat. also wtf was a student doing in a casino? and wearing a t shirt? what sorts casino was that? certainly one not run by robert de nero [ just seen heist]
There are worse ****s in life than this ****, but that doesn't detract from the fact that he's a massive **** of the highest order. The alledged thief's a bit of a ****er too.
He's in an office that's closed on the night it was robbed, those who think there's a chance he didn't do the robbery could always share it on the basis that he's guilty of trespassing.
