Title: I?ve been Nicked!
Post by: Barman on August 24, 2007, 06:39:44 AM
My life was fine ?til Nick sent me a PM yesterday then started casting aspersions on my lovely dish?

Last night I was sitting on my patio enjoying a glass of wine when a gentle breeze blew the shutters closed. Not normally a problem but the Nick element caused the handle to fall down on the inside thus effectively locking me out of my own home.

No panic as I keep a key hidden on the premises for such circumstances. However, as I walked past I noticed that the kitchen window was open. No point digging-out the key with an open window there so I moved a big plastic drum in front of the window. It is identical to the drum that I got my head stuck in at the bottom of the swimming pool ? in fact it might be the very same drum except it now holds used cooking oil ready for the tip.

Of course, the top of the container collapsed when I was halfway through the window causing me to badly hurt my shin and end up with one foot in the disgusting cooking oil?

Look on the bright side! The Nick effect was diluted by the distance.

You could have stood on your home brew container, and gone through the window at Mach 2   eeek:

>snigger< But without a camera going, it would have been wasted.....

I think you should have CCTV installed soon.

Apart from catching bears it'll be a leading contender for "You've been framed".

Look at the piss-ups we could have off a steady supply of winnings   ;D
