Um. I hate to say this but I've heard that story before.

YOG · **Posted:** Tue Sep 01, 2009 11:59

Bollocks. Urban myth? I was quite boozed at the time, so I'll have to ask my pal about this "girl he knows".

kalmar · **Posted:** Tue Sep 01, 2009 12:00

Either that or it's genuine and I've heard it via another friend on another forum (not impossible, but vaguely unlikely)

kalmar · **Posted:** Tue Sep 01, 2009 12:01

Oh, yeah. Google "stolen dog suitcase".

Grim... · **Posted:** Tue Sep 01, 2009 12:02

It's been on a QOTW on B3ta.

YOG · **Posted:** Tue Sep 01, 2009 12:07

Oh balls, it's been rewritten several times to occur in all sorts of places. Boo-urns.

KovacsC · **Posted:** Tue Sep 01, 2009 12:08

If it makes you feel better, it was the first time I heard it..

We could try and turn it into reality if you like? Anyone got a dog they don't want?

Awww, I thought it was the story about the stoned students accidently kidnapping a small autistic man (they thought he was a pixie).

I can't imagine anyone bothering to steal a suitcase from someone carrying only one, anyway. It'd undoubtedly be full of clothes, making it a very heavy and bulky thing that'd slow you down and make you somewhat conspicuous, and at most all you'd get out of it is a few books and maybe a hairdryer.

Yeah, some versions of it elaborate that the helper jokingly asks "blimey luv, wot you got in 'ere, a dead body?" and the embarrassed girl lies that "no, it is heavy yet expensive Amstrad midi system" (I paraphrase) *yoink*.

Still though, it clearly never happened.

I was fairly sure that one of the guys hanging outside Euston station yesterday was sizing up my suitcase. Never actually felt like that before.

You went to Manchester for the weekend. How the hell did you manage to need a suitcase?

Cunt. Why didn't you just buy her a ticket?

Heh.

To be fair it was for a wedding so it had Suit and dress in it, and shoes. However, with the exception of that I took a t shirt, underwear, toothbrush and contact lenses. She took our spare room.

Drunk pilot "lost" an airport.

Quote:

Two hours later he was apparently so inebriated that he was unable to read the instruments telling him where the Schoengleida airfield was.

"Come on, I know you're down there," he radioed. "Where the bloody hell have you hidden yourself?"

Control tower staff say he also sang a few songs, cracked a mother-in-law joke and told them to "pull their fingers out as I've got a party to go to"

Wel, been told to work half days this week and until 15:00 next week. to help me get back into things. This is a surprising move from my company!

Superb. Also linking off from that page is the story of American Pie actor "silly dancey pie fuck boy" getting attacked by a monkey in Gibraltar.

I just got a message over XBL saying, "txt bac if u want to do mike myers." Now I liked Austin Powers, but that's taking it a bit far.

First coat of paint is on, looks OK, needs a second coat though. And I think I'm going to be a pint of paint short.

For some reason I'd expect him to have a dirty, matted rectum.

That's a subtle way to get rid of you. Just phase you out.

I'm nearly at the end,only trying to finish it for the achievement points.

Just you get so far on a mission, they are all the same, and then you click to go into cover and he dives into the tiniest most pointless piece of cover and thus gets shot at. ARGH! ANGER!

One thing I've noticed with my xbox that is very handy, it remembers where you were on a dvd even if you take it out a put a game in.

Good old xbox

It'd be a crazy man to claim such a thing while copies of Horace Goes Skiing can still be purchased. Few games have attempted a full on crossing a motorway simulator and then a full skiing game. Crazy!

I've just found out that Lord Alan Sugar will be coming to my work next Friday.

How nice will that be? I hope he brings that Kate lady with him so I can feed her an apple or sugar lump.

Actually, if he's going to give a talk, wait for the Q&A put up your hand for a question and when he picks you pull out a GX4000 from under your coat and ask him "what the fuck do you know about anything eh?".

Careful chinny, at this rate criticism of Lord Alan could soon see you hung for treason.
