What a deeply unpleasant piece of s**t you must be, jimmyay. I'm staggered by how offensive some of the posts on this thread have been.

Our power went at 7pm last night too, on Darrell Rd. Got chatting to someone from Upload Rd in the chip shop whose power was also affected. Ours hadn't come back on by 9.30pm, so we gave up and spent the night elsewhere.

Sorry to hear that PGC, I know how upsetting it is to lose a pet.

Thanks for the update Dave. Maybe it's a different guy, or maybe he just doesn't care about the ASBO, but I noticed he's back by Domino's bus stop asking for money again (not aggressively). That was 9:15pm this evening, at the same time about half a dozen cops and PCSOs were drinking tea inside the police 'burger van' parked outside the Vale. Was bloody cold out tonight mind... ;-)

He (slim black guy, in his 20s, about 6') and another guy were hanging out at the corner of Grove Vale/Derwent Grove about midday today. He asked me for money "to buy something from the shop", but didn't persist when I politely said no and walked on. About half an hour later his companion asked me for change as I walked back at the same spot. This other chap was white, shorter, in his 40s, and had a foreign accent (could have been anywhere between Russia and Italy!). Again, took no for an answer.

However, the first time I saw the black guy was about two weeks ago, about 8.30pm, when I was out for a run. He was really intimidating an old man for money by the furniture shop on DKH. I ran over the road to intervene, but luckily by the time I got over the old man had escaped into the take-away. This guy's body language was so aggressive that I had my door key ready in my fist - I was very glad that I didn't have try to make him leave the old fella alone by force.

He's so obviously got mental health problems and/or a crack problem, I just hope he gets the help he needs before someone gets hurt. Maybe if we report seeing him dropping a cigar...
