A few years back, a couple of the local feral youth thought it would be fun to ride round on their moped pretending to be gangsters, waving a fake gun at people.

The real guys turned up in the ARV , and shared the wheeze by laying him down and pointing a real gun at the 'ganster's' head, while the dog slavvered inches from his emptying bowels.

I think the gentle humour approach the police took did the trick as I don't think they did it again.
They're lucky they weren't in the US...I suspect they'd have been shot instead (and not humorously!)

I'm assuming that you took the opportunity to say to him "What'cha doing in the curtains department, Brian? Pull yourself together man."

Or "The curtains are drawn, Brian, but you'll find that the rest of the shop is real."






I'm here all week.
I always think of the right thing to say a few days after the event. Most frustrating.
 
Police update...

Following an incident yesterday (Saturday January 2, 2016) when a firearm was discharged at a parked car within the McDonalds car park on St. Andrews Quay in Hull, a number of houses in the West Hull area have been searched.

Three additional people have been arrested for unrelated matters following the searches.

Two men who were arrested at the scene of the crime yesterday have now been released from custody.

Officers continue to piece together the evidence surrounding the firearms incident.
 
That's maybe right. I suspect he appeared in several disguises. I'll tell you what Stick, I suspected he was Brian Marwood. But that Captain Whatsit stuff was the pits. It was so bad that John in Baton Rouge called him a "dirty little toe rag", and it took a lot to get John angry.

One of Gurkin's favourite taunts was to say people were attention seekers. That was like waving a red flag at a bull for me, because if anyone was seeking attention it was you know who.

Best not go on about him or he might resurrect himself. :steam:
I hope so. He (she?) would rip a new one for some of the bad boys on here.

A police statement read: "The discharged bullet broke a window on the ladies toilet at McDonalds, we are looking into it. It was fortunate that a large number of officers were at a nearby donut shop and were able to respond quickly to the incident..."
 
That's a joke... Right?

Why would you think it's a joke? I find it extremely odd that someone can claim to be the number 1 fan of a place and utterly in love with it to the point of devotion but then prefers to live somewhere else.

Nah, he posts this regularly, for some bizarre reason he thinks the fact that I want to live in a village is a slur on my home town. He's just being an arsecunt.

I don't think it's a slur on your home town at all. I think it's bizarre that you claim to be Mr Pro Hull but then you prefer to live somewhere else. Surely if you were so in love with the place then you'd live there?

Whats 'arsecunt' about that? I genuinely don't get it. It's like continually saying "I love Woman A, she's the best in the world, I'm so proud of her and she's definitely the one for me. Plus I can have her if I want but instead i'll choose Wonan B, who I never talk about ever".
