Oh Dear
While out in town one night and well on my way to merriment, my friends and I had met up with some guys we used to go to school with, one guy I knew really well and had been quite good friends with having also attended primary school with him and living in the same village at the time. Having had the usual catch up chat, I noticed that a rather ‘large’ lady, over my mate's shoulder had been looking at me and smiling, she was sat at the other side of the big round table we’d been sat at. Without thinking I turned around to my friend and said:

“See that fat bitch over there” nodding in the lady’s direction… “She keeps staring at me… I might be in here”

I then looked back to my mate, he didn’t say a word… he didn’t need to, his face said it all…

The lady was his new girlfriend…

» Shoplifting

Not shop lifting but on the same lines as...
Back in the summer of 96, being only 14 or 15 years old, too old to be playing man hunt and alas too young for the pub, most of your days were spent at the local playing field smoking herbal cigarettes and wishing we were 18.

It was a hot day and as usual we were lazing about on the playing fields, which incidentally, were next to the Leeds Liverpool canal. Mid afternoon, my friends and I spy a mini bus pulling up at the other end of the fields, attached to the minibus was a trailer with several one man canoes on it.

The minibus belonged to an adventure youth group from a local village, as was the logo on the side of the minibus. We watched as the two adults supervisors gathered the kids together and unloaded the several of the canoes off the trailer and trouped out of site with them. The driver of the minibus then unhitched the trailed and drove off.

Being bored and hungry, a friend suggested we take a trip to the shop, which, involved walking past the now parked trailer. We were a just passing it when a car came flying round the corner and pulled up next to us. A guy then jumps out and turns to me and mate "Here lads, I’ll give you £20 if help me get this into the back of my car" pointing at the remaining canoe on the trailer.

My mate and I looked at each other for a second, shrugged, grabbed the canoe and rammed it into the back of this guy’s car. He then, as promised, took the a crisp £20 note out of this wallet and handed it to us, then he jumped into his car and sped off, canoe sticking half way out the boot of his car. It all happened in about two minuets, it was very surreal.

Long after the £20 had been spend on cheap cider, cigs and weed, a week or so later I phoned my mate and arranged to meet him, he said he had something I might find interesting. I meet my mate and he pulls a piece of paper out of his pocket, it's a newspaper clipping, the head line on the clipping reads "CANOE STOLLEN FROM CHARITY YOUTH VOLUNTEERS". Oh dear, we'd made the local paper, the first and last time I have ever done so.

Length: It was about 10Ft long and Yellow.

Two In my schoool.
They would regularly go to the toilet with each other and time how long it would take to have a piss. Then arguee over who was the fatsest pisser. They also had dubious personal hygiene. Strange.

I used to work for an IT Helpdesk which supported the Home Office, I once had a gentleman complaining about the service he had received from the previous helpdesk monkey… he utters the immortal lines

“I pay your wages you know, you should be grateful and sort out my problem….”

Coming for a civil servant of all people…
