Brings back memories. I think my parents still unplugged everything when there was a storm right til the end. Covers got left out of it earlier though.

Yes scumbags for sure. I just hope for the sake of the farmer that they weren't scumbags who were running away. I'd hop it quick if somebody was waving a shotgun at me. At close range they can make a pretty big hole.

Yeah I'm out. People will believe what they want to believe including me.

I hope this thread isn't going to rake over the case, it's been ' done to death' on here and the Mother Ship.   I posted because although I sympathise with them, it seems odd that they've been given more tax payer money 17 years down the line !

Here we go again !  poor young footballer, he wasn't a footballer he was a thief, or a would be thief. 

Dickie was excited he was off to sunny Spain
He packed his budgie smugglers, and a mac in case of rain

My Dad would always unplug the telly, and a cover went over the mirror !   
We 've had a really hot day here but no signs of a storm - yet 

I talk to my neighbour over the back fence, their little boy is a real cutie! We put their bins back when they're at work.

I remember covers on TVs!  Never understood why.

We had terrible storms most of the night.. lightning went on and on..

It made me think of my mum..
Every evening she would put a cover over the tv.. 
I have no idea why..

She would not stand at the sink washing up or have a bath during a storm..
And her curlers had to come out..

Such a simple life.. No gadgets.. And neighbours talked over the fence and at the front gate..

I bet you anything you like the papers will be full of people saying how wonderful Marcus Smith was.. 
That he didn't deserve to die..
He was loved by all and always ready to help others..

How the farmer was a bully.. and had a quick temper..
