"At the time of his arrest on September 18 last year Truscott was wearing shiny red shorts and latex gloves and carrying a bag of women's underwear."

You are right, that's the line that gets me too... Bit embarassing I would have thought?

coppertop · 14/01/2005 22:36

I can't believe I'm having this conversation! I'm blaming you for this, WK and ILM.

I find the "Darkie Day" cornish tradition particular bizarre...

"On Boxing Day and New Year's Day, Old Padstonians dress up like blackface minstrels and parade through town, belting out songs about "niggers"."

Definitely keeps me this side of the Tamar...

I bet they had a few laughs at the police station when they had to do an inventory of the stuff he brought in with him:

1 pair of shorts - red and shiny (presumably PVC so the manure didn't stick)

1 pair of latex gloves - small

Women's underwear (slightly soiled)

coppertop · 14/01/2005 22:40

at Darkie Day!

wobblystarryknicks · 14/01/2005 22:40

LOL mp!!!

ct - you don't need any help to have weird smutty convo's but I thought you'd like this story in particular!!!

I can't help wondering how/when he discovered this fetish. Would he not have been better off having a pet cow to ensure a steady supply? Or even buy the stuff and pretend it was for his garden?

He must have discovered it the day he got sprayed by the muck spreader by mistake (just guessing of course!). How has he managed to avoid contracting some disgusting disease though.

wobblystarryknicks · 14/01/2005 22:44

ss - definitely not Padstow but don't be too put off - Looe is absolutely fantastic at New Year and I can't remember seeing anyone dressed up as minstrels!!!

ct - maybe the 'grass is greener' and someone else's manure is more attractive than 'your own'???

OP posts:
coppertop · 14/01/2005 22:46

I wonder if his encounter with fresh cow pats is what you could call a steamy sex scene?

IloveMarmite · 14/01/2005 22:47

No just really really dirty.

wobblystarryknicks · 14/01/2005 22:47

lol ct - it gives a new meaning to having 'a romp in the hay' anyway!!!!

Don't see why the thread is about Cornwall - Okay he's a wierdo, but there are Bigger perverts living in the rest of the country!!!

wobblystarryknicks · 14/01/2005 23:00

joash, I know there's bigger perverts and far more dangerous ones elsewhere but such a 'ridiculous' perversion??? Will just confirm the general stereotype of cornish people being inbred weirdos with obsessions for farms.

ah well, lots of people seem to have that stereotype of cornish people, and I've met a fair few who fit it to a tee but obviously not the majority of them.

I always thought the Cornish were such nice people. A bit suspicious of people from London perhaps, but frankly who can blame them.
