Funny that. I was walking with my mate yesterday when we saw this geeky looking, small, skinny guy with lanky, greasy gair in a phone box. The dirty git was touching himself vigorously. My mate had to restrain me from lamping him one. Anyway we went round the corner and met another mate who owed me money. Imagine my surprise when the skinny perv followed us round the corner, bleating something I couldn't quite make out in his whiny voice. When I looked at him, he ran away with a funny knock-kneed running gait.

one of your best yet

I wouldn't mind but there a CCTV cameras everywhere in this town and where the hell where the Police!

Those CCTV cameras are a waste of time!

CCTV camers are for catching perps afterwards, not for direct prevention.

I had to use one a bit ago when my phone got nicked. 40p to make a call home in a cubicle that stinks of wee and is probably a hotbed for many never before seen diseases.

Come off it. You were just lurking in there waiting to spring out and deal vigilante justice upon whoever you thought deserved it.

I don't think the army or police would have you, but have you considered being a CSO?

I was using a public phone-box in the town-centre and two lads were going by as I went in. One was going for me and the other was holding him back. I to hold to **** off and they did.

But they only got round the corner before they attacked someone else. So i told the wife on the phone I wouldn't be a minute.

Went around the corner and they were laying into a guy demanding money. So I shouted for them to get off him and they promptly did. As I am fit, strong & pretty big!

I would have punched their lights out right at the start but I wasn't 100% sure whether they knew the guy or not.

The victim cleared off without any thanks!

that was a silly thing to do. expect to be arrested for assault very soon.
