Ever You Ever Done Anything That You Know To Be Wrong?

[Tony.London Suburbs]

I'm initiating this thread as a form of catharsis, admittedly.

I, like another Forumite, also put "11" items in a basket in a queue that was quite clearly marked "10 items or under-Express Service" at my local Supermarket last week and still feel the need for emotional cleansing, hence this thread.

There was absolutely no excuse for me and its far too late for me to make it up to all those fine folk who were inconvenienced behind me, but have you ever done anything wrong that you would care to publicly admit to ?

when I lived in Exeter, after a bad day, I was in one of the basket only queues. This guy barges in with full trolley so I point out the deal. He goes ballistic at me and I was in the mood to not put up with any crap so I absolutely tore into him and the manager was called

I'm not proud...

Thanks for sharing Sean.

You, undoubtedly, did wrong bY lowering yourself to his level, but you have, obviously, learnt and grown mentally and spiritually from that traumatic experience so well done M8.

When I was working at a well known international news agency there was a pub called the Thomas More and a safeways was next to the pub after I sank about 5 pints my wife phoned me and asked me to get some bits for her on my way home, as I was walking down one of the isles I swung round and my basket hit a parasel with a load of bottles of wine on and about 8 of them smashed to the floor, an assistant came rushing over to me and I said what a stupid place to put wine bottles I'm not paying for it and walked off. Yikes!......

[Tony.London Suburbs]

Mike you were clearly influenced by the alcohol and you are now full of remorse so nobody will blame you here M8.

You are amongst friends.

[SeanMacGabhann]

Ah the Thomas More - I worked next to that for 3 years - Safeway became a Waitrose but the Thomas More... still a dreadful pub

[Tony.London Suburbs]

Having praised you Sean, I now find that I have to mildly admonish you as I have to, politely, request that all posters remain "on topic" at all times.

Thank You.

Well said-Ed.

I went to watch Millwall play Man City in the cup once.....I still shiver

Yes I agree Sean it was a bit of a dive I liked the Dickens inn on St Katherines dock.

When In Rome etc...had you been to the Dickens Inn b4 Mike?

Did you have any great expectations and did the Pub live up to them, if you did?

[Mikecg]

Yes TLS my great expectation was to get hammered on beers that I had never heard of in my life before one of which cost me ?10 and one was a bit like Aspro Clear and another tasted like pears its a great pub TLS they also do fantastic Pizzas.

I shagged my best mates bird! Wrong Wrong Wrong! Knew it was wrong even when I was on the gravy stroke!

When at college, I went to see The Nolans.

I still feel soiled.

>>When at college, I went to see The Nolans. <<

But did you pull one of them? If so, time to get it off your chest... :)

[Bellenden Belle]

I threw a teddy bear on stage at a Bros concert....it just felt so right at the time.

Oh and I once grabbed Bono and told him I loved him.....

Clearly my teenage years were very troubled.

I once transferred a selection of disparate but thematically connected commercially available musical pieces from my vinyl based storage medium to a magnetic storage medium encased in a plastic cassette, in a forlorn bid to get noticed by a female who had the dubious honour of being the object of my unrequited love.

I still look over my shoulder to this day lest the police swoop down on my for such grand larceny.

sshhhhhh

Ha ha, at least you didn't add a couple of your own very early compositions to it, beliving this to be a gesture to melt her icy heart... *whistles a nameless tune*

You're right, Keef.. you win, hands down.

I once did a U-Turn back into Whitehall from Piccadilly Circus via Trafalgar Square when Northumberland Avenue was closed and the traffic was humungous.

Heard the Police sirens and sure enough was nabbed, and as I was already on 9 Points, I was in great trouble.

All my street savvy told me to get as far away from The Female PC as possible, and seperate the two Officers, as one wuld be very conscious about being lenient in front of the other one. I would have had no chance, but I pleaded with the PC who told me that "that was the most outrageous piece of driving that I have ever seen":X...

I managed to talk my way out of a Ban and he told me to "Piss Off"...as I tried to profusely Thank him he re-iterated, more forcefully, "Piss Off!"..and I did and I have never got any points since in the last 9 years.

Thanks a million to the flexibility and trust of that Officer.

Hang your heads in shame! I have never done anything so heinous in my time.

Although I do have a suppressed yet niggling memory from my teenage years of committing an unforgivable sin against poetry in an attempt to gain entry into a young lady?s underpants.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

I tried out the open air gym equipment in Peckham Rye last week. I know there's a fence round it but it was irresistible.
