what has this F'n world come to

Best advice, leave 'em well alone. However find out where they live, and then in a couple of years when they've forgotten all about you return the favour
Sugar in the petrol tank is fun

If I were you craig, I would just run them over with my car (when I get one). Here in the states, its the pedestrians fault if they get run over and they weren't crossing the street at a pedestrian crossing.

My home town used to be such a quiet place. Read this. http://www.worthingtoday.co.uk/ViewArticle2.aspx?SectionID=472&ArticleID=778854

Inspector Martin Pattenden, in charge of policing the northern area of the town, said: "Winterbourne Way is a place where youths tend to congregate and, at about 7.30pm on Friday, two housewives confronted a gang who were acting in a yobbish manner. They were assaulted by two females in the group and one of the women received a nasty black eye."

Officers arrested one girl but the following night the same gang were seen in Limbrick Lane. Inspector Pattenden said when officers arrested the second girl, she was carrying a butterfly knife.

He said members of the gang ranged in age from 14 to 20.

The girls are worse than the boys nowadays. All they can think of as punishment is curfews & anti-social orders (whatever that might be). I have to wonder how they think they can enforce this. The police complain they are shorthanded as it is. I haven't seen a local bobby around here this year.

note to self: Sugar in fuel tank is fun:)
N.b: Inform storm that its the drivers fault in the UK
well there may be some justice, the police choppers flying in the rough area where those kids bolted off to, so either they have pissed off enough people to warrent the police to find them, or some one else has done something big

Note to Craig:
Thunderflash, do NOT connect to a car ignition system. It blows the bonnet off And I know you wouldn't want to do anything destructive like that

Ps. I'm not telling you how I know this

Respect again is the key word, or lack there of. Like i said when i was that age i would have gotten a small whooping for doing anything like that(i never did do these things) but it always meant i didnt do these things, even parents cant discipline their kids these days for fear of assault charges being filed. Thus kids have no respect for anyone. This is also why i would like to see a US style police force in places where this is a problem. Just look what happened to the copper in birmingham, had he been armed that wouldnt have happend, and i certainly know if they were given tasers and guns round here they wouldnt be so hesitant to answer calls or deal with gangs

I don't want this to turn political but no guns please. I've lived happily for 61 years without that. Perish the thought.

PS. The Sussex police can't exactly be trusted with guns.

Now THEY'RE suing for compensation. I give up. What a crazy world.

[Craig.]

that seems more like a case of poorly trained trigger happy police officers than a real mistake. Even if it was just full use of tasers that would make a differance.
It is rather disgusting those officers are suing though

If the worst comes to the worst, well there is always Ozzys Homebrew Marmalade, stickier than superglue, and more potent than surgical alcohol

[Craig.]

can i borrow the hind as the delivery method???
Nothing more trouser wetting than one of those fully loaded appearing in front of you
Have mini marmalade bullets in the cannon.

[tsunami_KNUW]

the sort that throw stones at a sports car and house in the first place. besides like i said, 6 maybe 7 years old. Knocking him about a bit would be me poking him

Don't you just hate that? People these days are so ridiculous. They try to sue you and complain to the police if you tap them on the shoulder which they would consider "Harassment" People just don't take responsibility for their actions anymore...(Well not all people)

[ozzy72]

I don't know about scrounging a Hind, but I'll see what I can do. Failing that I'm sure the guys at the parachute club would let me borrow an An-2, and we've got one modded for crop spraying, we could load that up

[Craig.]

Jolly good nice area to practise your stunt flying with aswell:)

[ozzy72]

Have you ever tried stall-turning an An-2? Its harder than scoring with a nun
