    Nicked some champagne bottles along with a mate at a wedding, then got so pissed I had to be carried home unconscious. I was 11.
    And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014

      I was nicking half bottles of double diamond with a fag-end in them, and you were on the champagne

        Don't be jealous; lukewarm Moët Chandon tastes pretty much like Double Diamond mixed with with fag-ends anyway.

          Wow, the bottles story reminds me of another. In the days when you got deposits back on bottles we used to climb over the wall at the local pub, nick some empties and then go and cash them in....

          Happy days....

            nah, I'm not jealous. just a bit interested in the lifestyle really. I tried some caviar with champers a few years ago and it was orrible, then once I got a carton of orange and a tin of irish stew from a supermarket in Holland. The orange turned out to be iced tea and the stew was a tin of tripe in vinegar

                I wonder why neg rep is never accompanied by a name, and +rep often is.

                  When I was about 12 I thought it would be fun to scare the old Chinese lady next door with some caps (from a cap gun). I got a whole roll of caps, put it on the floor in the yard and decided to hit it with a hammer.

                  I didn't actually hear the bang. There was just a very loud ringing, which went on for several hours. It was very much like a scene from 'Saving Private Ryan' or something. I blame that incident on my inability to hear people properly in pubs.

                    Sorry to hear that EO, my condolences.

                      Did that with the local Conservative club, but it was their fault that they'd left the empties in strewn around their front garden.

                      Didn't dare take any beer bottles though. It was a small village and my parents didn't buy bottled beer.

                      My best schoolmate got nicked for riding his bike with no lights after dark.

                      Copper: "How old are you?"
                      Schoolmate: "Eight".
                      Copper: "Do you want to live until you are nine?"

                      Schoolmate's ninth birthday was the following day and that question scared the wits out of him.
