Greedy Or Stupid ?
 
Probably both :mad:

Wasn't sure which section to put this thread because it's about footballers but also general news. These players are on thousands a week, especially Johnson. Pure greed or stupid, you decide :)



Portsmouth's Glenn Johnson, was given an on-the-spot fine for stealing bathroom fittings at a B&Q store in Dartford, Kent, on Wednesday.

The England defender, who is on loan from Chelsea, and his friend Millwall striker Ben May were spotted placing a toilet seat into a box with a cheaper price tag before they reached the checkout by a security guard.

The pair also avoided paying for a set of taps by concealing them underneath a sink at the checkout before they were both arrested as they tried to leave the store.

A Kent Police spokesman said: "Kent Police arrested two 22-year-old men on Wednesday on suspicion of theft in Dartford.

"Both men have been issued with £80 fixed penalty notices."

Stupidity. When you earn that much you don't need to steal.

Richard Madely was found not guilty, unlike Winona Ryder.

bye the bye .. just heard brain ferry's son.. don't know him.. did not get a driving ban today, despit being well over the limit he was found not guilty because he said he's mates were giving him treble vodkas when he thought they were singles.

Hello?

Sense of humour failure?

It was you that called me Judy.

I exchanged Miss Finnigan for Mr Punch's Missus...it's sort of a joke, but whoooosh, must have gone right over your head.

That's the way to do it!:D

(Again a joke refering to Punch and Judy...if you don't get it.);)

I didn't know you'd be banned ever.

I certainly never asked, or thought you should be banned.

Every village needs an idiot.:D

Mancie 19-01-2007 23:18

Re: Greedy Or Stupid ?
 
I would have thought you had to live in a village to be the idiot.. but you have blasted that. thanks for the karma and ..bollxs

Village, meaning virtual forum village.

Another whooosh there I think.

Your welcome for the karma reduction.

How did you know it was from me?

Was it because I signed it 'Rindy the snob' and put kisses on it?:D

Yes, I'll make it a recurring theme. It'll be a nice catchprhase don't you think?

I have no problem with you snipin' at me, infact you've been doing it since the local (but not village) elections last May, or indeed with you calling me a snob. Though I would refute that, as I wouldn't be talking to you now.

I see it as a compliment.

It's a jealousy/cultural thing. A little like Jade's feelings of inferiority towards Shilpa.

Night, night Nancie.:)

Yes but can you say 'elocution', or know where East Anglia is?:D

Mancie 19-01-2007 23:44

Re: Greedy Or Stupid ?
 
I can't take that as a reponse.. you are the "sniper" on my posts.. you don't like them, and thats fair enough.. I talk bollocks.. don't see it as a compliment.. and if you don't like people having an opinion other than yours .. then say it.. no problem.

shakermaker 19-01-2007 23:50

blah blah blah.

I just pointed out that Richard Madely hadn't been found guilty of shoplifting, which he hasn't.

It was you that first sniped by calling me Judy, which I found quite funny. You then went on to call me a snob.

Anyway, you've bored me now.

I'm not going to massage your fragile ego by getting into a debate with you about it.

I need more of a challenging combatant for that, which sadly you aren't.

jes some people really get locked into this.. why not just have a debate about stuff?. people get all personal. fed up of the so called.. " I say want I want" brigade who do contribute to the forum but are looking old..posting stuff about the bin man and asians parking habits are old stuff .. this is really not contributing to the new britiain..

What 'new Britain'?
There won't ever be a 'new Britain' & no 'meaningful discussions' on an internet forum will ever change that.

We go to the shops & moan about the queues, go to work & moan about the boss, go to the football & moan about the ref, go out on the town & moan about your slag of a mate that got off with the one you fancy.
We all know this is meaningless, but it distracts us from the reality that we're getting ever closer to the hole in the ground without ever doing anything meaningful.

In short we should all shoot ourselves now, but we'd rather moan about the bins if you don't mind.

I think Mancie has a point here, the thrill is in the hunt not the kill.

Re: Greedy Or Stupid ?
 
Yeah, I agree to, probably trying to see if they could get away with it, very stupid though, hope they've been taught a lesson.
