  1. Thanks for the replies, I obviously got the date wrong (it was of course the early hours of 23/06/09 - could a moderator change the date in the title please). I'd had a couple of beers last night (which is a rarity in itself, I'm not really a drinker), but even with the benefit of sober hindsight there is nothing I'd have done differently. The police have arranged to take a statement today (they asked if I'd had a drink and so wouldn't take one until today). I'm still as determined as I was last night to see this thing through (even more determined if I'm honest).
  2. One thing I forgot to add: I am a witness (and willing to give a statement) should the victim of the original assault wish to pursue a criminal prosecution against the assailants.
  3. On the way home from the pub a friend suggested we finish the night off at the Leadmill. Not my scene (first time I've been there in 15 years!), but I went anyway. Had a pint there to be polite to my friends. I then went to make my way home but as I was leaving and waiting for a taxi I saw a bouncer (a big, ugly, bald headed dude) walk up to a guy outside and punch him and then call his gang of bouncers to help him drag this dude inside and give the young man a kicking. They grabed him and draged him inside so they could (and I quote) "smack him about a bit". The dude they smacked offered no resistance and was not aggressive towards them! They then took this lad (who was only about 18-21) inside the foyer and hit him several times. I took out my phone and took several pictures of them smacking him about so I could report them to the police. The big, ugly, bald, headed bouncer saw me and ordered the other bouncers to grab me and drag me inside. The word was (from the ugly guy) "he's taken pictures of us, grab him!", which they did. They dragged me inside and hit me a couple of times, twisted my arm behind my back and demanded I delete all the photos of them. It was made clear to me that if I didn't do this I would be eating pavement. They took my phone from me and gave me a choice, the phone gets smashed or we watch you delete the photos you just took of us. I deleted the photos, they held me (and I do mean, restrained me!) as I deleted the photos I'd taken. Before anyone mentions it, yes, I've just given a statement to the police. Here is 2 things the bone head probably doesn't realise: 1) you can undelete things that have been deleted 2) the group of people you decided to intimidate are lawyers The reason I'm posting this is because I want to hear from the lad who the original victim because I am considering a civil claim against the Leadmill.
  4. About 15 years ago one of my friends moved into a brand new built (at the time) one bedroom house in Darnall. In the first couple of weeks he realised he shouldn't have accepted the offer because of minor things (someone shoulder barging him as he walked past, a group shouting abuse after him as he walked past, that kind of thing). A couple of months later he got a knock at the door and was given an ultimatum by a large group of "locals", basically he was told his face didn't fit. He moved out the next day.
  5. Is it true that people who believe in ghosts didn't get hugged enough as a baby?
  6. The banks never had any money. They just swapped lots of non-existing money between themselves. Now the non-existing money doesn't exist any more so they are skint. To solve this problem Gordy has given them a load of money (which doesn't really exist), but that wasn't enough so he's given them a load more pretend money in the hope they will start giving us all money (of the non-existing variety - of course). But it will probably all vanish before we never see it. To summarise: loads of money we never had doesn't exist anymore. Hope that clears things up.
  7. thanks workers - i was watching football today on bramall lane and it took me an hour to get to gleadless - don't even working
  8. ... and you don't have to put up with a rude hairy arsed driver grunting at you
  9. Why keep banging on about something when you clearly don't have a clue what you're talking about?

  11. If you bought it using "Buy it now" rather than winning it by auction you should be covered by the Distance Selling Regulations and would be entitled to a full refund including postage and packing. See the home shopping PDF here: http://www.oft.gov.uk/advice_and_resources/resource_base/legal/distance-selling-regulations/
  12. I can see why you might think that to be true, but huge parts of the Theft Act were repealed and replaced with the Fraud Act 2006 (even before this happened the sections on deception were subheaded under "Fraud and blackmail"). http://www.statutelaw.gov.uk/content.aspx?LegType=All+Legislation&searchEnacted=0&extentMatchOnly=0&confersPower=0&blanketAmendment=0&sortAlpha=0&PageNumber=0&NavFrom=0&parentActiveTextDocId=0&activetextdocid=1204262 But yeah, you're probably right. You'd need a photo of the dude sat in the bank taking out the loan whilst wearing a flashing neon sign stating "I DO NOT INTEND TO REPAY THIS LOAN" to prove it.
  13. Don't be ridiculous, it's pure and simple fraud. If you arrange a loan without intending to pay it back you ARE misrepresenting to the creditor. It's not theft as the person is consenting to give you the money (albeit under false-pretences). Intent has nothing to do with classing it as theft or fraud. If you deceive someone into giving you money it's fraud. If you take it from them without their consent it's theft. Not that any of this has anything to do with the OPs problem/question.
  14. I think it's kind of funny. Back in the 80s you had people getting on buses with a stereo the size of a house playing Iron Maiden at 100 decibels causing a stampede of old dears to crush each other trying to escape out of the doors to escape from the "devil's noise". These days some spotty kid gets on the tram/bus and plays Alvin and the Chipmunks' guide to happy hardcore on a tinpot 1 watt speaker and they think they are being rebellious. Bless 'em.
  15. If you think correcting you on two topics consists of "pursuing with venom", I think you need to get treatment for that paranoia. I'm not "shouting" or complaining, I was correcting you. Quite a difference, don't you think? Despite what your ego tells you you're not always right.
