Animals dying and arson is no laughing matter but the manure fetish.....I was in total hysterics!!!!

So, wobblystarryknicks - do you know him?

tillykins · 14/01/2005 21:36

I'm very glad to say I don't!!! But Redruth is only 15 miles or so from where I live. God, imagine if he was an ex or someone like that - argh!!!!

Like the journo cliche of "neighbours didn't know much about him and said he kept himself to himself"

wobblystarryknicks · 14/01/2005 21:43

I'd keep myself to myself if I was covered in manure!!!

Fair point. Too late though, now his pic is in the local rag/on the net. His mum must be so proud!

God, would hate to be his mum!!! At least he didn't have a wife or kids!!!

The arson attacks were awful but I admit to sniggering at the rest. It was the description of him being arrested in shiny red shorts and latex gloves while carrying a bag of ladies underwear that made me PMSL.

I wonder if it was only animal 'waste' that he was interested in? If not I'd hate to be the poor soul who had to go through 300 pairs of soiled ladies undies!!!

IloveMarmite · 14/01/2005 22:30

Makes me think he wants to be a "pig in sh*t"

ps I have morphed, I was warmmum

Just the thought of this grown man holding lingerie and rolling in manure cracked me up!!!

It brings a whole new meaning to the phrase "I've had a cr@ppy day".

IloveMarmite · 14/01/2005 22:33

Do you think he put the womens underwear on before rolling in the muck, or was he just a sniffer? (ooooh yuck!)
