Mathom   10 #13 Posted February 18, 2008 I wonder if things like this happen in Germany or Sweden or Japan or other countries. I hope it bloody does, it`d be shamefull if it just happened here.  In the Scandinavian countries (often held up as paragons of virtue) they just burn down their churches instead. Whereas in the States, they walk into places like Meadowhall or Hallam Uni and shoot everyone in sight. In Japan people join cults which plan to gas everyone on the Tokyo tube system.  It's not just here  The locks are on bins in a select few streets, by the way, because there has been a problem with youths setting bins on fire. I'd want a locked bin myself if that was happening so I don't see what the issue is? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Eddie_shef   10 #14 Posted February 18, 2008 Just been reading in the Star what a horrible place Gleadless Valley must be to live in. . It mentions crime, anti-social behaviour, longevity......al the usual problems.  People in Gleadless suffer from longevity??? selfish **** Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Chopsie   10 #16 Posted February 18, 2008 Why do they set them on fire ?  To get rid of the evidence I expect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

R.A.N.D   10 #20 Posted February 18, 2008 I heared they set fire to the plastic bins then sniff the smoke for a high. I used to live in Gleadless in the very early 80s and it wasnt that bad then even though it had a baddish reputation- I earned the title "The Gleadless bull" because at my age then, in my early 20s, I spent my spare time trying to impregnate anything with a pulse  I was only there for a year or so but it seemed to be an ok place, obviously its gone right down hill now, which is odd because places usually go to pot when I move in, not after Ive moved out!  are sure it was not the gleadless bull****er jabberwocky Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
