We were watching tele in the front room when two pissheads knocked on the window and said they could complete the rubik's cube sitting on the coffee table. Told them to do one and closed the blinds, next thing you know they've smashed all of said windows. Had a bit of fisticuffs outside, not angry about that but the idiot in the flat above called the cozzers. Now there's a whole load of hassle that no one wants. Rubbish.

Well as good a go as four lads stoned off their tits can give. It's just unnecessary hassle as the old bill are all cunts and by default are going to make the process as long and drawn out as possible.
And judging by where they attempted to hide from us (behind a bus stop that we watched them run to) I reckon no, no they could not do the Rubik's cube.

Yes, it's a bit of hassle, but if it stops this sort of thing happening again, surely it's worth it?

The only thing we were concerned about was having to pay for the replacements ourselves, but our landlord said we're fully covered and they've already been fixed. That's the end of the matter for me, it's just one of those things. Grassing is for utter cunts anyway.
They got nicked last night, because the person in the flat above gave a statement about the whole thing. It took our flat repeating "no, go away" for about an hour for the officers that came to give up on trying to get us to give statements. But we've been told we have to go down to the station tomorrow now.
Like I said, for me all I cared about was having to pay for the windows, we don't so I don't give a toss about the lads that did it. We had a bit of a set to, gave them a bit of a kicking (although I inevitably got floored because I always get floored) and it's done and dusted in my opinion.
The police cause endless complications because EVERY last one of them is an utter, utter cunt.

But off the top of my head:
-because the person upstairs might have been scared (all they know about it is some windows breaking then a load of blokes fighting, and no matter your opinion of the gavvers that is what they are supposed to be there for)
-because them being nicked might stop them breaking some other poor fuckers windows
-because if you needed to pay for the windows on insurance then you'd need a police crime number.

her body doesn't always respond in the way it once did, despite my best efforts (by which I mean snoring on the sofa whilst she watches a Johnny Depp film). We therefore have, on occasions, needed to give nature a little assistance. KY jelly isn't the greatest stuff in the world and we were pleased when we discovered something which seemed a little more refined. However when the time came, no matter how much turning and twisting we did, we couldn't get the lid off and ended up throwing the stuff away.

Probably towards the dick on my course who pretends to be "ill", drinks vodka in lessons and tells everyone about it and fucks 15 year olds. He didn't revise for a test, said "I'm going to complain to the course coordinator, this is not fair, it was too much to learn" so I yelled at him for about 10 minutes about how everyone else had revised and he shouldn't get special treatment for being a flapping douchebag.

He was the singer with Texan psych-rock legends the 13th Floor Elevators. They were the first band to use the term 'psychedelic rock' and made some demented but groundbreaking records in the mid-late 60s.
Erickson then went mental as his gigantic LSD use conspired with the inherent lunacy in his family (his mother is a fucking fruitcake): he ended up in a max security loony bin and has been fucked ever since.
He recorded some excellent new waveish/punky rock stuff in the late 70s but was effectively a vegetable until 2008 when his little brother took control of his life and made him take medication.
The end result is a tour that would have been inconceivable two years ago.
