You'd prefer bottom? In the case of someone having drugs up their hole for 4 days I don't think the word is the issue.

Slartybartfast · 18/06/2018 12:26

and then he tried to sell it to a policeman?
obviously drug selling to the policeman wasnt a clever move

You don't like bum yet say toilet? 😳

northernbella · 18/06/2018 12:32

Giving a hole new meaning to 'crack' cocaine

MyOtherUsernameisaPun · 18/06/2018 12:33

Surely bum is one of the least offensive words out there?

forbiddenfruitcrumble · 18/06/2018 12:34

yabu for saying 'toilet'

Sprinklesinmyelbow · 18/06/2018 12:36

I think this story is epic. I love it for all the wrong reasons. Didn’t realise bum was inappropriate though

Sprinklesinmyelbow · 18/06/2018 12:36

Now now let’s not all pretend we’re Nancy Mitford and go on about toilet. We all know none of you are upper class 🤣

DontTouchTheMoustache · 18/06/2018 12:38

What? Why cant i say toilet?

Sprinklesinmyelbow · 18/06/2018 12:39

Don’t you want to be a middle class wannabe like panda and forbidden moustache?

glitterbiscuits · 18/06/2018 12:41

Brilliant northernbella. Smile

Wheresmeredithgrey · 18/06/2018 12:41

What’s wrong with toilet?!

Redglitter · 18/06/2018 12:42

What on earth is inappropriate about it?

Slartybartfast · 18/06/2018 12:42

oh to be a journalist

Well, I think bum is preferable to anus which would be the ‘correct’ term. Shudder.

I just don’t understand how he could give someone what they wanted when he had 46 envelopes of heroin and crack. If someone asked for heroin did he do a lucky dip and if he pulled out crack he just kept going until he finally pulled out a heroin envelope, then shove the crack envelopes back up? Are the envelopes coloured, how would he know which was which as he fished them out of his arse? I’m intrigued.

Sprinkles fuck Same, I bought all that quinoa for nothing 🤦

MsJinglyJones · 18/06/2018 12:46

I love how the whole article is written, it's straight out of Viz, including the photo!

Also why do they keep saying `'in his bum" not "up his bum"?

DontTouchTheMoustache · 18/06/2018 12:46

*fuck sake

Ridingthegravytrain · 18/06/2018 12:48

Surely it’s rectum?!

Tartsamazeballs · 18/06/2018 12:49

Everyone knows the correct wording is "stuffed up his shitter"

It's fine imo.

Anus, bum, bottom... Does it really matter?
stuffed up his shitter is a bit crude... But my grandmother used to say worse whenever she went shopping Wink

Nicknacky · 18/06/2018 12:54

What word would you rather was used?
