Popular Post chrisp65 Posted September 9, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted September 9, 2014 I was in the public viewing gallery at the Old Bailey a long while back and there was a case going on that was truly entertaining, like a bit of telly. Barrister man asked over and over again about whether this guy had been wearing a knitted had on the night. He insisted time and time again he hadn't been wearing a knitted hat because he never ever owned or wore any hats. A bit of different questioning on different things for 20 minutes and then barrister man theatrically knocks all his papers over and is scrabbling around putting them in little piles, shuffling them and apologising. With his notes in a mess he apologised, got out his pen and asked 'sorry, did you say the hat was one colour or striped?' To which the answer was 'striped', and a whole room of people gasped. I'd imagine at that point the defence team collectively thought, 'ah, cock'. It would have been too corny for TV. But I saw it with my own ears. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 well that's a stupid idea from what I've seen on the telly, they can't even deliver an oversized cheque, nevermind an equitable justice system 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 I watched Dredd the other day. Avon Barksdale & Cersei Lannister in the same film. Madness. It wasn't that great. Very predictable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaajax Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 How about Jake Bullet? He's the kind of hard-living flat foot who gets the job done by cutting corners and bucking authority. And if those pen-pushers up at City Hall don't like it, well, they can park their overpaid fat asses on this mid digit and swivel, swivel till they squeal like pigs on a honeymoon. *It might look like POB at a funeral but that is Jake Bullet - Cybernautic Detective!

jjaacckk91 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Why do so many people always walk in the toilet at work whilst I'm dropping the kids off at the pool. There's only about 20 other guys that work here but in the space of 10 minutes the door is going constantly. Do they just spend all day going to and from the toilet, or are our toilet habits synchronised or something? The wink and the smile you give your colleagues on the way to the toilet is possibly sending out the wrong message. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugeley Villa Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 why do people ask you if you've had a nice flight or not? yeah mate its great when your taking off and landing and your stomach is in your mouth or even better when the plane is getting thrown about plus its so comfy being penned in like your on a cattle truck with inflated prices for shit food and drink.
