I must say that the spectacle of a whole group of people, who claim to hate threads going off topic and to be upholders of the civilised tone of the forum, ganging up simultaneously to take the thread off topic, signal their own virtue and try to bully Sue is somewhat enervating.

ETA I don't include Buddug in said group, who had a right to respond as she felt, rightly or wrongly, she was being attacked and had a right to reply.

Buddug, there is not much likelyhood of the need for a court appearence IME of this kind of crime, so try not to worry about statements and suchlike.

For the love of God, Stop.

Case in point.

Its a sugar coated trope, wrapped in irony and delivered with a kiss. I will depart from this thread and leave space for *the final word*

[Siduhe]

Snorks, is that you???

Only one condescending supercilious PITA on this thread, Buddug, so don't take any further notice of it.

Well done for your TRUE neighbourly spirit.

This is a great way to show some police presence in the area, we had the same dropped off my police.

[Siduhe]

Re Smartwater - isn't there an annual subscription fee you have to sign up to in order for them to maintain the record of which "watermark" is yours? I looked into it (several years ago, so may have changed) and after 12 months they charge you a subscription fee. If you don't pay, they delete your record from their database. Would be interested to know if this has changed in which case I will look at it again.

Have a number of posts now gone from this thread?

[Administrator]

Love the irony. Yes, because they had nothing to do with the topic and were dragging it down the sewer further.

[buddug]

So, tonight, police rang me to ask if I would be willing to take part in an identity parade. Of course, I said yes. I think I'd recognise them, as we stared at each other for 30 terrifying seconds. They were ugly buggers.

[Lynne]

Sorry, Buddug, I think you're being uglicist, and am surprised the ED Forum, a centre for tolerance and correct thinking, has let this pass.

[buddug]

Ha ha, Lynne. I am no oil painting myself, but these two guys took the biscuit! But, to be kind, they did look like they'd had a hard life...

[Rosetta]

Wonder if they are linked to the Chadwick Rd burglaries?

[buddug]

I think they may be, Rosetta. The tall burglar in Oglander who I saw certainly matches another description of the burglar caught red-handed in Pellatt Road the very next day.

[buddug]

Looks like they were doing a blitz, but at least one of the two has been caught now.

[Zebedee Tring]

Lynne, is there a real word "uglicist", or have you made it up? I, for one, am a bit "horizontally challenged" as I am overweight. However, I am not "vertically challenged" as I am over 6ft.

[Lynne]

What is real, Zebedee Tring? However, it is a word that's been used before.

[Zebedee Tring]

I learn something new every day even at my great age, Lynne. However, I am always eager to increase my vocabulary.

Are I right in saying that it is no longer politically correct to refer to somebody as an "ugly fat bastard", as you could in the good old days before all them hipsters first moved into ED and you could smoke all day to your hearts content in one of the old fashioned boozers that ain't there no more?

[buddug]

'Lookist' is the word I know, as opposed to 'uglicist'. And I think Lynne was being very 'tongue in cheek', parodying previous posters. But you are in no way horizontally challenged, Mr Tring. Though you may have over-indulged in the mince pies this year. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, another neighbour is also being brought in to view the identity parade. Looks like this pair of burglars have been hard at it far and wide for quite some time. Often, just two burglars can be behind 95% of burglaries in an area, and putting them away for a while can bring great peace of mind to a neighbourhood. I shall keep you all updated. It's not often these bastards are caught.

[Lynne]

To divert again, (sorry Buddug) Anglo -Saxon law allowed common abuse, as long as it wasn't provably untrue,and this, roughly speaking, has continued. Thus you could call someone ugly, and this is mere abuse, but not a bastard, if they were born in wedlock.

Good luck, Buddug.

[Zebedee Tring]

Sorry Lynne, I missed the irony in your earlier post. If I had seen the expression on your face when you typed it, I might have realised!

[buddug]

Watch this space re ID parade. The two of us. Let's just catch 'em.
