  • Really good mate of mine could get serious time today

Christ mate, that’s a harsh one, not sure i could cope with doing time. Hopefully, that intelligence also brings a strong mind.

I’m reminded of a quote from Gandhi: You can chain me, you can torture me, you can even destroy this body, but you will never imprison my mind.

    Gandhi probably never encountered the town psycho trying to get his brown wings in the cell, after a night on the Newcastle Brown

    seanc80 Back in Monday at 12 noon.

    Sean leaving everyone high & dry over the weekend with a massive cliffhanger!

      I know a lad who juat got 12 years for a big grow operation. One of the helpers forgot to turn on the AC for a long weekend and the smell alerted a neighbour. When he arrived back to the place on the Wednesday there were frogmen waiting for him. Linked to a gang of Eastern Europeans and part of a wider investigation. Place was being watched for months, neighbour complaint sprung the warrant but he would’ve been caught eventually. He’s actually squeeky clean and always has been, just made a rash decision to make a quick buck. Costly mistake.
      Hope common sense prevails, Sean. The guards normally know who the players are. A suspended sentence normally in situations like that.

      Few years back at my previous place, the whole street was woken up to the sound of a fella braying on a front door and yelling his head off further down the street at 2 in the morning. Everyone stuck their heads out the window doing a double take because he was in his boxer shorts. Eventually he fucked off in his car still in his boxers but the police turned up to check it out. It seemed he’d got off his tits with his lass, had a massive bust up, stormed out to his car without realizing to get dressed first, doubled back and by that time she’d shut the door and refused to let him back in. (Seem to recall a pair of jeans being launched out the window lol)

      The police came around and took statements and all the rest of it. A few days later they came back in a squad van, kicked the front door down and frog marched the lass out in cuffs in front of the whole street (forever known as ‘CSI Bramley’ from that point on). It turned out she was storing 20 large bags of weed upstairs in the attic for the fella who was some local grower / dealer. The coppers had smelt it when they come around to investigate the disturbance but are trained not to say anything and come back later.

      Quite a laugh thinking about it and how stupid people can be - the lass had young bairn so social services got involved and I think she mostly got away with everything but I wonder how much information about her associates she had to give up to escape without losing her bairn. Probs brought down a fair few people over a row with her fella.

        erik You’re way too pretty. You’d come out with a ringpiece like a Kangaroo’s pouch 🤣🤣

            so, true story - In 1991 I had been selling beans for a while. I’d been raided a couple of times but they’d never found anything. The third time they found 2 purple ohms wrapped in a bit of clingfilm stuck between 2 credit cards in my wallet. I had actually forgotten they were there if I’m honest. Like a total twat, rather than just putting my hands up I decided that as I had some form from a couple of years earlier I would go not guilty and I concocted some story about a girl buying 4 trips and putting 2 in my wallet as she didn’t have any pockets but forgetting to retrieve them (terrible i know)
            Long story short, defiant to the end it went all the way to Oxford crown Court where I pleaded not guilty to possession of Lysergic acid (street value £6)
            The Jury took 30 mins to find me guilty and the Rt. Hon Judge Mead sentenced me to 12 months imprisonment which I did at Shepton Mallet and Dartmoor. I was 25 at the time and I didn’t enjoy it but it wasn’t that bad either. my bottom remained intact throughout and I learned to make a pretty decent homebrew from rice, potatoes, apples, sugar and yeast pinched from the bakery, which helped the time pass.

            I’m pretty sure that going back to jail today would be a completely different story.

              Shit-and-smellit doesn’t need a prison. Just being sent to the town is a sentance in itself!

                I had friend in prison way back then. I can’t remember if he was in your prison or somewhere down that way. His name was Jody & had ginger hair.

                  Hasnt anyone got an ‘I got sent down and was bummed incessantly for 12 months’ story?

                    Lol. Fighting off the lads in the shower to get to pick up the soap 1st
