(localboy purveyor of pisspoor puns, Tue 14 Apr 2015, 8:19, Reply)

There is a criminal case about intent where the weapon was a screwdriver - it was all about what the burglar intended to do when he picked it up, ie did he mean to use it as a weapon before or after picking it up.

Makes you realise how many innocuous objects around the house could be nasty. *straps a budgie to each fist*

When I was about 17 my mum came downstairs to find a guy passed out on the sofa.
His mate had said he would leave the door unlocked for him in the house across the road. When he found it locked he assumed he had the wrong house, tried my mums door, walked in and fell asleep. My mum woke him up, heard his apology and made him breakfast. When I told an American mate what happened she said that my mum was crazy and that her dad would have just got the gun and shot him whilst he was still asleep. I know which one I think is crazy.

assume he hadn't thought of saying "his" house rather than "his mate's" as a feeble excuse to crawl into bed drunk with your mum in the early hours

does being in a cave count as bring on a beach? I think you're just bragging.

Are you suggesting she was a permanent cave dweller, dishing out blowjobs to anyone who entered?

One of the barristers I work with, a girl who lives by herself, heard burglars downstairs at 2 in the morning
She had her mobile and the police got there in time, but she was utterly shaken up.

Worse, one of my friend's sisters (she's a street artist in Leicester square so if you ever see her you'll know who she is, although if you have any brains you'll never go to Leicester square because hellhole) who is an artist was working at home one day in mile end. She opened the door to 2 men who were there to read the gas meter.

She left them in the kitchen then thought she should offer them a drink and went back in - to find them discussing whether they should kill her or just tie her up. She ran and they followed, into the lounge where the only escape was to jump off the balcony. And she's been in a wheel chair ever since, poor girl :( :( :(
( rachelswipe with a fork, Tue 14 Apr 2015, 8:33, Reply)

She should have bent her knees as she landed.

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Tue 14 Apr 2015, 8:40, Reply)

I think she bent a bit more than that

( rachelswipe with a fork, Tue 14 Apr 2015, 8:44, Reply)

In the UK burglars have a right to do what they do.
Why not charge burglars with entering a property with the intention to rape a woman or child if one is present. Let them prove that they were only going to steal the possessions of the dwellers. Why just accept that home invasion is acceptable if all they are going to do is steal, make them suffer and pay. It is the duty of every man to protect their family by whatever means, tough on the burglar.
( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Tue 14 Apr 2015, 8:33, Reply)

Well we all know you'd offer them a permanent home with you
Those squatters are still waiting for your address to move into your garden btw. They're beginning to suspect you didn't really mean your kind offer but I assured them you did.

No, they are willing to give up a life of squatting
In return for your kind offer.

Although they were very reluctant when they heard it was in Coventry.

apparently whenever they see a black lab. or a cat in the garden.
They are usually smaller than the cat.

But the Cornish Gold Centre used to advertise "See what a million pounds in five pound notes looks like!" (its disappointing) Thieves did a daring mission impossible type raid on the place, cut a hole in the roof and slid down on ropes, pilled the stacks of cash in a bag and escaped. The high tech cutting tool they left on the roof was worth more than the £200 wrapped around blocks of paper that they nicked.

so an anti xenophobic charity has put a load of posters up on the tube
"hello my name is such-and-such, i'm an immigrant, i've been here for 30 years serving you as a nurse," that sort of thing. so far so good.

only out of all the millions of immigrants over the last 40 years, they have picked a "mary sithole" to be their poster girl.

HOW did they not see the inevitable coming at them like a tube out of the tunnel?
