There's a 99p shop opened in Brixton recently. It's put the shits up those robbing bastards in Poundland I can tell you.

Or, could I?

No honestly, I couldn't.

Or would I?

Seriously, I wouldn't do that.

Or am I?

Please understand, this is just for the purpose of clarity. I'm not making a bid.

And of course DM, when approached by an insistent man in a quiet street, it will be the work of but a moment to direct him to your website in order that you can best deal with him by a large and useful helping of camp.

Your specious point about the man's race and the police seems a cheap and easy shot *Bob*. In the context of this thread it looks a bit 'Ben Elton in he 80s' scattergun to me. The OP gave an account of a woman who I think had every right to feel in fear of being harmed. At the very least of being accosted against her will. Hugely unpleasant for the individual involved.

The Cromwell thing, I get a little 'shruggy' about. The 'Paddy' remark causes some mild lip pursing. But if she ever uses the word 'Micks', I swear on my copy of Rum Sodomy And The Lash, I'll be confronting her and insisting she tread on the tail of my coat. There are limits.

Not sure about the flippant responses (and I dwell on planet Flippant). From what Halicon said her friend had a very frightening experience and correcttly was alerting others to this man. There is the possibility that he's harmless and 'just' a nuisance, there is also the possibility that he may be a danger to women. If it's the same man who was weeping over a car then he may have mental health problems and requires help. Hope he gets it, but I hope it's before he ends up harming someone. His behaviour is peculiar, telling a woman 'Don't be scared'? That's always going to scare someone. The suitcase? Is he homeless, or calculating that a person with luggage is not someone who's going to excite suspicion as quickly as someone without it? I hope he's brought to the attention of the appropriate authorities, and if he's unwell gets treatment and if he's criminal gets locked up. Anyway hope your friend is OK now, Halicon.

You've taken a shot for the rest of us by ensuring these 'haggi' are removed from public display. Well done. I assume you have livestock of some description which will consider them a treat of some sort. Thanks once again.

Shane MacGowan. I claim my pint and a Jameson's chaser too. A large one if it's all the same to you. Though the Guinness can be a small pint. Thanks.

Have we forgotten the words 'f*ck' 'off' 'out' 'of' and 'it'? Christ on a bike, what's wrong with you?

Didn't like the geezer. Too flash.

It's good to know that it's not just me who heads straight to 'langers' after work. And nice use of the Old English 'wanckered'. I'm raising a large Peroni in your direction. And before anyone makes an innuendo, it's an Italian beer, not a suppository.

Williams? Did that highly fast and wordy 'Girls Watching Guys Watching Boys Watching Girls That Make The World Go By, Aye-Doo-Aye, They Solemnly Convene To Make The Scene' song. Or something along those lines. Ridiculous, and some people thought Yes were too complicated.
