I caught a bloke nick a 'Jumper'' at Debenhams way back in about 94.........the Police took him away and i had to attend their Station to do a statement...... I inadvertently left the 'jumper' in the Police reception whilst i went to another room to write my statement..........on return ''IT HAD GONE'' apparently another Shoplifter had been in to be interviewed and on leaving took a fancy to the jumper,,,,,,,,,,the Officer on reception saw him leave with it under his arm but didnt realise it wasnt his........i was asked if i wanted him visi

  8. We did a bit of ''Shakespeare at school and ive no strong feelings about his work either way..........However whenever the subject comes up i always think about our drama teacher Mr Price......he was a fanatic on him...and used to love standing and reading it to us.......and one day in the school Hall he was reading it from the stage with all the actions.......well he lost his footing on the edge of the stage...fell onto the school 'Piano'' broke wind and rolled off onto the floor'''''''''''' so so funny...........

  10. http://i.pinimg.com/736x/c0/f6/50/c0f6504359c4b0a5e66168e0a0224ef1.jpg BK got me waxing lyrical this morning on another thread....when he mentioned his best working years.......all my working life i was involved with retail and like'' occupations........can honestly say i enjoyed all my 58 years of work....and it was due to people like the one's above...absolute brilliant characters....who i will never forget.......

  17. Spot on Red..........i believe Possession'' has largely killed all the excitement in the modern game....short pass forward...short square pass...then a short back pass...then start again....how can this compare ...with a long Pass down either wing then a mad chase....being won by the attacker.....who high crosses into the opponents penalty area where the 'Keeper'' leaps and catches it while being shoulder charged by the centre forward....then a defender ''Chins'' an attacker (does'nt slap him with his make up bag)..attacker stays on his feet (don't lay down writhing holding his face)......Ref
