Now we have distracted her. OK what happens next?

― Tom, Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I'll nick her bag.

― N., Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Do we steal her handbag or something?

(Oh it seems Sarah has already started a distraction thread and one with a point too. I am clearly riding the well-fed slow chariot.)

― Tom, Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Doubly so since hawk-eyed Dastoor got in first with the joke.

― Tom, Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Stop thief!

Damn he has run off. Did anyone get a good look at him so we can describe him to the coppers?

― Pete, Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

He was "well tasty" according to a passing Pinefox.

― Tom, Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Damn! I clicked on to see something Tom had posted and now my handbag's gone. I've asked reception and they said they just saw a passing blur of floppy hair.

What can I do?

"ARROGANT MAN SNATCHES GRAMATICAL IDIOT'S BAG" (Barnet Advertiser)

― N., Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Nick=Nick

Nick=To Steal

Nicked=Arrested

Go forth and make a headline.

― Ronan, Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

No, I can't not do nothing. All my stuff were in there officer.

― Anna, Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

You do it. You're the bloody journalist.

― N., Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

That was directed at Ronan, not Anna (who has suffered enough).

― N., Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Yes, everything. Purse, spare pair of tights, make up bag, disc man, three CDs, toothbrush, book, part of brain that writes headlines.

― Anna, Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I think you should cancel all your cards and come down the station later so we can show you lots of books of floppy haired people. It will be quite short though because there are not many black floppy haired people and as we are the London police we believe that every crime is by default being committed by black people, and hence do not keep books of skinny white criminals.

― Pete, Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I don't want to do it. So eh..................."SHUT UP NICK".

― Ronan, Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

You have a floppy hair book? Here, look, I'll give you this pound as a deposit and take it off you.

― Tom, Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Pervert!

Has Nick deliberately mispelled Grammatical as a funny joke up thread?

― Emma, Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Yes, and I deliberated long and hard before doing it. But it made it so much funnier, you see?

― N., Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

You can only have the Floppy Hair Book when I am done with it.

You are perverting the course of justice as well as other things.

― Anna, Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Are spelling and grammar the same thing then?

― Tom, Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

No, but that wasn't the point. It just seemed the post appropriate word for the Barnet Ape to misspell.

― N., Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

post = most!

― N., Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

This is getting silly.

Can I have my bag back please?

― Anna, Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Hang on, we haven't sold the walkman yet. Anyone? I've read this book too.

― Alan Trewartha, Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

More urgent and key - what were the CD's? How much could Nick get for them at the Record & Tape Exchange.

― Pete, Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

2 cash 4 exchange mate.

― Tom, Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Book: Scott Fitzgerald 'Tender Is The Night'

CDs New Order 'Substance' (Factory) Compilation 'American Gigolo (International Deejay Gigolos) Various 'Futurism' (City Rockers)

― Anna, Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

You'll want to take those to the dance exchange, sorry. It's just round the corner. 50p exchange or 25p cash for the book. I know it's new, it's just we get those in all the time.

― Tom, Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

It's very thoughtful of Anna to help out in this regard.

― N., Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Have you got two forms of ID?

― Tom, Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Yes, a real one and a fake one!

― N., Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

(True R&TE horror tale - a customer known as 'Sad Sack' used to come in and sell horrible old comics to us, and he'd never get a high enough offer to need an ID request, and then one day he did and was clearly taken a bit aback by our asking for ID, and after some rummaging in his pocket he produced his - stained and yellowed! - membership card for a stripclub! Ew!

OK back to Nick's criminal fantasy life.)

― Tom, Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Can we recreate Eminem's 'Guilty Conscience' video, please? Who wants to be Dre?

― N., Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Criminal fantasy life or fantasy criminal life Tom? There is a difference.....

― Emma, Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Is Dre in it? I'd forgotten about Dre I must admit.

― Pete, Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Pete, that's a bunch of gibberish!

― Jonnie, Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Thank God, someone new posting to this thread.

― Tom, Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Sorry, I would have done so earlier if I'd realised.

― Jonnie, Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I could have posted too, but I was asleep.

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

My line was in no way gibberish. I challenge thee to a duel Mr Johnnie No.5 (is that like Channel? - Or Short Circuit?)

― Pete, Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

But it was a Dre reference! However, if you really want to fight be warned, I'm handy!

― Jonnie, Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

More Chanel than Channel.

― N., Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Who was the bloke who did that song a couple of years ago... what was it called Glorious? What was his name Anus Johnson?

― Steve.n., Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

In Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (and the Willy Wonkarized film) I always thought they missed a trick not calling that river of chocolate the Cocoa Channel.

― Pete, Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Tom: I did post to this thread, or at least move my mouth. But, you see, nothing came out.

― Sterling Clover, Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

When I moved my lips, that is.

― Sterling Clover, Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

A ROBOTIC BATTERY HEN IS NOT A GOOD COMPANION!

― jel, Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Steve.n.: "Haha, no, actually, I believe his name was Andreas Johnson". Now here's where you say:

― Mitch Lastnamewithheld, Wednesday, 13 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh yeah sorry...

I forgot about dre.

― Steve.n., Thursday, 14 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

four years pass...

Did Anna ever get her handbag back?

― Floating down, the sound resounds around the icy waters underground. (kate), Thursday, 4 May 2006 10:42 (nineteen years ago)

I think it is in Glasgow now.

― Pete (Pete), Thursday, 4 May 2006 11:47 (nineteen years ago)

Ah, happy times.

Tom told the same Sad Sack story in the pub last night! WHO SAYS THE WHEEL EVER TURNS.

― Lucretia My Reflection (Lucretia My Reflection), Thursday, 4 May 2006 12:15 (nineteen years ago)

I too have heard the Sad Sack story somewhere back in the folds of time. I might well have read it on this thread but for some reason I remember Tom's maniacal glee in telling it*.

*Okay, that could be any story.
