I'm not privy to what 'keeps' happening. I was just referring to Keef's particular situation and how it seems easy enough to acceot a report of a phone call from a PO and accept it as complete truth.

As for your chips, did you not get the metaphorical CCTV?

I don't even like vinegar!

[HonaloochieB]

Piss? Vinegar? Me? Full of? Old? Like to be?

Yes.

Crikey, whilst the Police are only human like the rest of us and prone to a bit of frustration, and every organisation can have a few bad eggs, it completely escapes me why not telling the police about a stolen jacket could be seen as reasonable behaviour.

[Keef]

I did ask the Vale myself about CCTV, and was told that they had recorded over it. This was on the Monday morning, the event having happened on Friday night.

Like I said before, I never blamed the Vale for my coat going missing, if anything, it was my fault for leaving it for a couple of minutes (although I did think friends were watching it). The response of one man after the event is my issue.

As for harming a local business, I gave that business a lot of bloody money a few years ago. In my opinion, they have done nothing but harm themselves, as they don't appear to want anyone in there.

I steer clear nowadays cos there is one regular in there that makes me puke!

There's a load of geeks from off of the internet that have been slagging my business off for years, suddenly condescending to pay me a visit - as if I should be all grateful, like, and doffing the cap. I'll take their money but I couldn't give a rat's ass if any of them come back, to be honest.

Sound about right?

[Keef]

Not really, he was a tosser long before this forum existed. Sound about right?

[HonaloochieB]

Heavens, there's a ruffian loose.

[Ted Max]

I was trying to summarise his likely attitude to the Forum influx on Friday - and asking if my interpretation married with the treatment you received at the time and subsequently.

[SeanMacGabhann]

Geek i may be. But im not "from the internet". I have had more than one row with the owner. . . Once about where i could sit and eat in his empty pub and i told him to his face then. Again, like keef, this is pre forum. And no one is saying anything libelous here. Plus if any case was brought there would be a queue out to kent of ex customers and staff with "stories to tell"

[Ted Max]

Not quite sure what the problem is. I'm not trying to score any points or anything.

I was trying to formulate what this guy's pre-existing attitude may have been, and asking if that tallied with your experience on the night in question?

[SeanMacGabhann]

Sorry Ted - didn't mean to sound so belligerent. You're doing a fine job of mediating.

But I still don't like the place

[Ted Max]

I didn't used to, either. But I picked up a fantastic coat in there the other night for a song - so now I love it!

[Keef]

Fair play Ted. I don't think opinion on here or anywhere else has made a difference. He is a funny chap (in my opinion). A bunch of us used to go in there all the time a few years back. We spend A LOT of money in there, we danced, we had a laugh, but he and one or 2 of his bouncers were just really unfriendly and rude. In the end it got to much and we all stopped going, I don't think we are alone, as it used to be packed, now it is dead.

Good luck to him though, he obviously knows best.

Can I have my drugs back please?

[Ted Max]

Sure. Do you want to know how your book ends, as well?

[Keef]

Already re-bought it and finished it, now on the sequel :))
