Suspected burglar stuck down chimney
LONDON (Reuters) - A suspected burglar who spent seven hours wedged down the chimney of a pub was arrested by police after he was rescued, the Daily Telegraph reports. The man was stuck down the chimney of the Twin Farms pub in Newcastle on Friday and was only rescued after a deliveryman heard his cries for help. Firemen used a rope to haul him to safety. "It was a bit like a cheese grater because sharp bits were sticking into him," the Telegraph quoted fireman Dave Curran as saying. "He was shouting and swearing as he was being brought up as his skin was scraping off his knuckles and other parts of his body, but he didn't suffer serious injuries." When questioned by police, the man said he had been trying to rescue a cat.

Boy was he a dork.

Ozzy ;D

 This joker was probably tring to STEAL beer!  What he really needed was one of those "Invisibility Cloaks" we read about a few threads ago.
 By the way Ozzy, make a note to yourself, this is NO WAY to break into your local brewery!!

I know :(
But my morning run takes me past the brewery, so at least I can smell all that lovely hops and beer!
Nearly as good as when I used to do my morning run downwind of the Mars factory, or the distillery in Oban. God did that make training fun ;D
