not someone trying to be overtly rude, but someone trying their best to give helpful advice to help me to succeed, you know the kind of advice that when you're getting it you just want to smash a bottle in their face... that kind.
edit: they may have a point as at this moment I am indeed sans work.

It may be that your style isn't the most commercial, but that doesn't mean it is shit.

It better not have been me. I'm not normally that much of a cunt.
I love the Captain's stuff. But I am prone to giving 'advice' when I'm pissed ;)

As you can probably tell I have got my new torrentserver up and running. Login details and goodies will follow shortly ( well probably tomorrow, not yet worked out how to set up accounts on this one )

I've just been driving round the street humming the Thunderbirds theme tune chasing a man who carried out an attempted burglary.
There were so many of us out there it was like Picadilly Circus and we still didn't catch the bugger!
I am pumped full of adrenaline now so bang goes my early night.

although it's a bit more than that as we are very active and have the police blessing plus 4 members have access to police channels.
In the past 6 months burglaries have skyrocketed so we are the A Team (pffft)determined to stop the nonsense.
Someone was on patrol an hour ago and spotted an attempted burglary, got onto the radio to us and within 2 mins we were all out there, chasing around in our cars, me with my big dog in the back being thrown around (poor thing) when I cornered.
Ooh it's bloody big fun but I cannot believe we didn't catch him! It's our first failure.

I see your point.
We stay in our cars and are in contact via radios. I have my big dog with me but only for company and to deter anyone from coming near me. The reality is she would lick their faces off and then roll over on her back for a tummy rub but "they" don't know that :)

Despite what Shada might think, we are not "vigilantes" in the sense that we are working in conjunction with the police and are not hotheads.
It's an invitation only thing and we have to be interviewed. Any hint of racism or gun happiness and you're out.
There are too many dickheads out there itching to beat the shite out of anything that moves and we don't want that.

I don't doubt that at all. Watching the Louie Theroux documentary set in SA was a real eye opener.

really, i defined "vigilante" as "awesome civilian anti-criminal brigade" and not "gun-toting hothead" as you seemed to take it

but considering your definition, then you are right :)

to London has made me realise how much I miss the city. Being in the sticks I don't get the adrenaline rush of such times as a man was walking through Shepherd's Bush with a sub machine gun threatening to shoot kids.
(Rash decision, pushed kids towards our basement flat ( fuck off, not for that ;)) and confronted gunman. Eventually took his replica gun from him and sat on him until police came.
I'm not saying at what point I saw it was a replica, that would ruin my hero status in Shepherd's Bush ( where I had previously chased and caught a burglar ).
I like the rush. Best I have here is irritating squirrels.

I don't do anything brave like you though, I have to remain in my car but I am really looking forward to the day when I am the one who spots the burglar.
