What squeaky said. Decent folk will stay well clear.

Does he have a landline? If so try directory enquiries or 192.com

TheLadyEvenstar · 06/08/2011 23:20

DBF, he will stay clear but he is too close for my liking. No landline silly bugger refused one so we got him a mobile which I have lost the number of.

He'll be fine TLE as long as he doesn't go out. Honestly, what's going on is very contained in a very small area.

Prosch · 06/08/2011 23:22

Look! Another TheLadyEventstar thread with drama

What a surprise

TheLadyEvenstar · 06/08/2011 23:22

Val its so reminiscent of the broadwater farm riots. My grandparents were alive then and very close to the area....

Arghhh silly duffer wish he'd had had a house phone./

disgraceful scum behaviour.. :(

LadyThumb · 06/08/2011 23:25

I hope he's alright TheLady - it looks awful.

Fuck off Prosch !

TheLadyEvenstar · 06/08/2011 23:25

Squeaky, it is. this is because of A preplanned operation to stop a mini cab which had a man in they wanted to detained, policeman was shot - bullet went into his radio and lodged there and the 29yr old man was shot dead by police.

You carry a gun or knife and you get what's coming to you.

TheLadyEvenstar · 06/08/2011 23:28

Prosch oh yes because I started the riots from my living room in south london didn't i?

Lady, I know he won't go out but he is an old man so I worry - he still thinks he is 21 Wink

OP posts:
squeakytoy · 06/08/2011 23:28

I know TLE. It shows the mentality of people, when they are out rioting because a convicted gangster has been shot dead. :(

Woodlands · 06/08/2011 23:29

Scary stuff. I drove along the road where the shooting happened on Thursday about 5-10 minutes before it happened.

TheLadyEvenstar · 06/08/2011 23:29

Lady, don't know the ins and outs of it just what is on the news apparently at 10.30 there was a crowd of 200- 400 rioters.

OP posts:
TheLadyEvenstar · 06/08/2011 23:30

Wood, thank god you weren't caught up in it!!

Squeaky, Its ridiculous their mentality is well what can I say?

OP posts:
LadyThumb · 06/08/2011 23:31

I just think they are all anti-police. It's all beyond me, I'm afraid, the attitudes of a lot of people these days.

TheLadyEvenstar · 06/08/2011 23:32

there are kids as young as EIGHT years old with their hoods up within the rioters and looters and there are more rioters on their way :( according to the news reporters

OP posts:
DogsBestFriend · 06/08/2011 23:34

Very thoughtful, prosch. Hmm

TheLadyEvenstar · 06/08/2011 23:34
