henry21p Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 Sleepy little town of Caterham.... mid-morning. Forced window open with a garden fork and took JUST the valuable items from the jewellery box. She hadn't had any of them valued either... so little chance of decent insurance payment, aside from the fact that most of them were from my Grandfather before he passed away. EVIL BARSTEWARDS... Why on earth couldn't they have taken the television, the cd player, the DVD player, the computer????? Well - thank god she wasn't in at the time.

Myles Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 Is it safe to be in the same sheds with Dave??? Look - I'm just about to begin assembling a new engine - and both of my grandmothers live on their own and aren't short of a bob or two... (not to mention the fact that my 7 is in one of their garages...) Do you think garlic might be the key??? 🤔 Keep BC free and open for ALL.

henry21p Posted November 23, 2004 Author Share Posted November 23, 2004 IS PERFECTLY safe as long as you have your lucky rabbit's foot, holy cross, holy water, garlic, wooden stake, copy of the bible, koran, lucky socks on, lucky undies on, that horseshoe you dug up from the back garden and at least 15 other wards of various sorts.... Drove val's car last week and the drive shaft failed. the driver's window on the escort has gone. tried using one of our badge printers and that died then there was the whole glass of beer laptop incident as well... tore my trousers too.

Debert Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 Bastards - The lot of them - Get "Millwall" stickers for the windows - Let 'em know that if they get in, they won't get out alive Sympathies to Gran ☹️ Hope you catch the thieving gits (no hope of Plod even being slightly interested, they drove away within the speed limit) 😳 At last - The insurance company have got their finger out 😬 See the old Barbarella here...

FH Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 ☹️ I'm so sorry to hear about this - send another hug from the Vale of Belvoir It makes me really angry that people nowadays have no respect for others or others' property. I remember when I was small, my parents never locked the doors at night... then we moved to the outskirts of London and had to change our ways 😳 I'm back living in deepest countryside again and it's very easy to become complacent when you only have about six cars a day driving through the village - I even found we'd left the front door (rarely used) with the latch up for about three days fortunately, nothing untoward happened. As for the GRs, well, any intruder would be licked to death 😳 FH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henry21p Posted November 25, 2004 Author Share Posted November 25, 2004 My two younger brothers (age 25 and 12 respectively) and my dear old dad (age 56) are currently dreaming up punishments for said offenders should they ever be caught. Whilst 12 year old is small, he has a VERY vivid imagination and a lot of love for his granny.... Andrew on the other hand is 22 stone and is currently favouring: "Practising my golf swing at about 5 yards back from said offender (who would be tied to a post).... A 1 wood and a bucket of balls should suffice for the time being" Whilst the 12 year old prefers: "Inserting a big bit of 4x4 (as opposed to 2x4 or a landrover) into various locations in the offender and removing in such a way as to leave splinters" Father favours the "Hydrochloric acid poured up his nose to dissolve what little brain is left" Granny has been heard to say "Don't you DARE do anything so horrible boys... I'm sure the police are dealing with it" I haven't got the heart to tell her that NONE of the above are ever likely to happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myles Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 Andrews' first idea is very Lock, Stock.... Project Scope-Creep is underway... Alcester Racing 7's Equipe - 🙆🏻™ Alcester-Racing-Sevens.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry21p Posted November 25, 2004 Author Share Posted November 25, 2004 I can just picture him flexing shoulder muscles then properly leaning into a full-on par 5 style drive... It isn't original, but it works (and btw, was first aired in an episode of the detectives where they strapped jasper carrott to a wall and pinged balls off him).
