It was outside my house in the street the next day, until in disappeared that afternoon. I have no idea where I picked it up, or where it went. I see your generator and raise you a small road roller. Mentally, a road crew in St Andrews left one parked up with the keys in overnight. 2 bottles of Merrydown and a few cans in, it would've been inappropriate of us not to take it for a spin. We bottled it further along the same street, as even we realised a bunch of pissed teenagers with a steamroller was asking for trouble. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btb Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 (edited) I liberated some of the penalty spot from our win against Dundee Utd in the 2019 play-off final - now in the back garden near to the drying pole.

Musketeer Gripweed Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 First time I stayed at a Disney hotel I would fill my sponge bag with the freebie shampoo and stuff every day. I was over my weight allowance when I got to the airport and had to ditch most of it anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it must have been a hangover from rationing. My gran would take “cuttings” from exotic plants etc in botanic gardens. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maicoman Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 This was before anyone had a mobile phone so a car crashes in to a field in the middle of no where 2 mechanics decide that they are going to go out and strip some parts off of it late in the night So they start to strip it down when they see car lights away in the distance so they turn off their spot light and wait for it to pass but the passing car stops and 4 guys jump out all tooled up to strip the same car The first 2 are now hiding behind a tree just beyond the car when 1 of them decides to do his party piece - the sound of a house phone ringing which he was superb at One of the 4 thieves shouts to his 3 mates "Their is a phone ringing!" His mates are shouting at him not to be so f-ing stupid "Where are you going to get a phone out here"? After a lot of shouting the guy that is sure that he heard the phone ringing walks over to the tree and the big man that did the sound of the phone ringing jumps out in front of him and switches the spot light on in his face and shouts "Hello there" !!! The guy just stood there paralized with fear unable to move and his 3 mates took off and left him! Not sure how it ended as i was crying my eyes out with laughter! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My own drunken student one was that a group of us, midway twixt the union and the halls, stole a window box. A few weeks later, having not properly looked after it - although it had been regularly "watered" - all the flowers were dead, and so we, on this occasion perfectly sober, returned under cover of darkness and swapped it for the perfectly healthy one on the other window! In that same halls, another flat had a lovely bench, which may have originated in that same garden, and which when paired with a similarly purloined "For Sale" sign, made a fun aeroplane. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 I nicked a local street sign which was hanging off a wall as the rivets holding it in had rusted. If it hadn't been me someone else would have nicked it. Victorian cast iron and bloody heavy. Everyone must have purloined sweeties from Woolies - Nick n Mix.. There was a store full of junk in my student halls, presumably stuff that had been left behind by students over the years, so I helped myself to an Aberdeen University plaque with the crest on it. There were a couple of decent bikes in there but couldn't be bothered nicking them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a bench, but not a for sale sign. Did have a shopfront awning with"Regal" on it. It was a bit big for the living room. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empty It Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Drunk me has a passion for flags, I seem to steal them from boozers whenever they have anything like world cup, 6 nations or even craft beer festivals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
