Exactly. So much for your “Rumpole of the Bailey” armchair barrack room lawyer skills, eh, Pix! Notice how I kept discretely quiet, yeah? A gentle word of advice, mate... leave that kind of thing to the experts. Thanks.
No, I believe that you were referring to my anal passage, and suggesting that I had been subjected to extensive and prolonged acts of buggery. I haven’t.
All joking aside it’s one of the reasons I’ve never applied for a shotgun licence, as I’d not trust myself not to grab it if I heard intruders in the house.
...or turn it on yourself. Plenty of farmers have blown their brains out in a drunken fit of depression.
He was a tree surgeon and his missus was from a ‘country’ background, so they both used to go out shooting. They lost a baby in childbirth a couple of years ago and it had a massive effect in his mental health. They also had two young daughters, toddlers really. Last summer he went out into a field with a shotgun and blew his brains out. Awful
I used to have one, years ago. Had a Beretta side by side. I’d have happily shot some **** who broke into my house. I’m sure I could find the weapon he was carrying.
Thanks mate. His girls are 6 and 4 years old. What do you tell kids that age about what’s happened ? Just tragic.
I cannot imagine the frame of mind he must have been in to make him want to leave his babies to cope without him. Tragic, indeed.
An intruder stabbed to death during an apparent burglary was wanted by police over another break-in, it has emerged. Henry Vincent, 37, from Kent, was killed in an incident at Richard Osborn-Brooks' home in Hither Green, southeast London on Tuesday night. Pensioner Osborn-Brooks was arrested on suspicion of murder and has now been bailed until May pending further inquiries. Police said 78-year-old Osborn-Brooks had found two men inside his home and a struggle then broke out between him and the pair. It is thought one of the suspects had a screwdriver and threatened the homeowner with it, according to officers. Following the struggle, Vincent was taken to hospital and died of a stab wound, a post-mortem examination found. The second suspect fled the scene in Hither Green and is still on the run. It has been revealed Vincent was wanted by Kent Police in connection with a separate distraction burglary at a pensioner's home in Farningham in November 2017. Also, Vincent was on the force's "most wanted" list in 2013 over a burglary in Gravesend, according to reports.
A 13-year-old boy was among six teenagers taken to hospital after being stabbed during another night of violence in London.

Three teenagers were taken to hospital and one male was arrested on suspicion of murder following an attack in Grove Road, Mile End, shortly after 6pm, with two of the victims - both aged 15 - left in a serious but stable condition. The other youth - a 16-year-old boy - was treated for minor injuries and then arrested for conspiracy to commit grievous bodily harm.
