These fellows
were sat in their flat getting high when they hear a terrible commotion outside. They went to see what the bother was, to find this horrible little man savagely beating a woman outside their door.

They remonstrated with him, at which point he pulled out a rather knackered looking little pistol. Whilst this was going on, one fo the chaps slipped back inside and retrieved a rather lovely (but non-ornamental) Japanese sword he’s inherited from his RAF commander father. A scuffle ensued, resulting in the stabbing and disarming of the pimp – they finished him off by cutting his head off and throwing body, head and sword down a nearby rubbish chute.

The police told them they weren’t really looking for whoever did it. The owner of the sword is now a top aviation lawyer.

You should be looking for a minimum of 6 months free subscription.

I once got 3 months free from Telewest because their fitter walked a bit of mud into the carpet.

I took them for 3 months subscription
Including all the films and sports channels.

I love a good argument on the phone.

Saying that, I can't imagine you'd bother with either the sport or film channels as all sport and films are shit aren't they?

In fact, I don't know what you're bothering with getting the connection restored. Surely everything ever shown on telly is gash and you hate it?

Oh Amberl
just when you'd managed to escape LAK, your talk of hats will get you right back in there!

I overreacted massively to Wiggy going to a barbecue with his friends instead of coming to one with my friends, when the argument I was pursuing didn't go anywhere I just ranted about anything and everything I could think of until he said "what are you actually angry about?" and I had to admit I was being a psycho. I hate it when I have to do that.

I have many a hat, I like berets quite a lot, but I also have a military style hat that I love and a trilby which I've only managed to wear once because it requires a certain type of outfit to go with. I bought a rainbow hat at a festival but I don't think I dare wear it.

Imagine your crazy ranting, add some condescension, and a healthy amount of 'convinced I'm right about everything despite the facts proving otherwise'. Remove the bit where you admit you're a psycho. Serve heated for half an hour, bringing back to the boil whenever you fucking feel like it.

Pretty much this but a bit drunker.
You haven't submitted a defence, I've requested summary judgment but as I have no confidance you're going to pay at all, I've started a criminal case for fraud against you and I have 3 witness statments overhearing you telling me that you'd protect the deposit, the recipt and your signature on the tennancy agreement.

(PsychoChomp, Tue 12 Oct 2010, 12:49, Reply)

Haha, nice little dig there
An old landlord made ridiculous demands off of me and two mates after we left a house, totaling 3k plus with-holding the deposit.
We fought it all the way to small claims court, where the judge ruled out a vast number of the charges for various reasons, my favourite being the 'receipts for repair work' being invoices from his wife's company with the words "Labour: £1,500" on. Dodgy as fuck.
We were ordered to pay a small amount, basically £100 on top of the deposit (there were some damages and stuff left behind), and the landlord was livid.
He tried to take us back to court again to pay for more repairs and his court expenses, but Rachelswipe helped me with a letter that categorically told him to fuck off, and if he tried I would counter-sue for harassment.
