Lost & Found

Hows it theft, they threw it away, the skip at our place is raided regularly, for the metal and other stuffs, we dont care, it leaves more room for us to chuck other useless stuff in.

Love this
 
I popped up the road last night, dinosaur in hand and a friend was standing in his doorway so I gave him the roar and walking sounds demonstration ... "That's bloody great!" he said, "How much do you want for it?" ... I asked him if his son was too old now because I was just going to give it to him anyway if not then I noticed my mate was smoking a magic cigarette ... "Erm ? .. the rest of that cigarette ?" ... "DEAL!" ... and we're both supposed to be middle aged men FFS :rolleyes: ..
 
I'd have asked for one that hadn't been pre-smoked. Hard-nosed negotiator, me.
 
If youve chucked it away you obviously dont want it
If you mean the dinosaur ... I did want it but we all trade stuff on our street so I'll probably get something cooler from him at some point ;) .. we tend to pass home grown veg and the like over garden fences around here ...
 
If you mean the dinosaur ...

Was that dinosaur a T Rex? And here's the weird question...did it have a Brummie accent? Someone brought their kid round here a while back and they had one. It was a very realistic model and about two feet long but the voice it spoke in was definitely from Birmingham.
It said various daft things like 'Oi'm a T Rrrex Oi am!', and when it roared it was just some bloke shouting the word 'ROAR!'

Sadly it wasn't a Brummie or a T Rex ... it's got double row spikes on its head .... but while we're on the subject of Brum accents .. the first two times I was an inpatient at the Norfolk and Norwich, if you went in the lift and when you pressed your button, you'd get a Brummie accent voiced woman telling you "Yow R now gowin dowun" .. they've replaced her voice now :(

Nah, i was referring to people chucking stuff away, not you :p
 
Antarctic explorer’s 118-year-old painting discovered among penguin poo
Watercolour of a small bird was painted by Dr Edward Wilson, who died in 1912 with Captain Robert Scott on their return trip to the south pole.

A 118-year-old painting by a celebrated south pole explorer has been discovered in a historic Antarctic hut hidden by penguin poo.
Dr Edward Wilson, who died with Captain Robert Scott and three others in 1912 as they battled to return from their trip to the south pole, painted the watercolour of a small bird.
The watercolour was found among a portfolio of papers inside a bunk at the hut at Cape Adare, says the Antarctic Heritage Trust, which is restoring 1,500 artefacts from the hut.

I found someone's lost phone yesterday. According to a woman I phoned on it, it belongs to an old fella called Sean who lives in a care home near me .... by happy coincidence, he's on the same route as a job interview at our local zoo I'm having after 3pm today so hopefully I've also found a new job ..

That makes a total of 4 phones I've found and been able to trace to their owners within the last couple of years .. all good fun ..

Maybe that's what his job is...he didn't go into specifics.

I plan to work my way up to Ape House level .. I'll be practising by throwing my poo at people.

The Chester Zoo chimps are the true poo-maestros. The shit, if you will.

They wave and blow kisses across their moat to the visitors and then when the unsuspecting humans draw near, charmed and defenceless, the chimps all pick up lumps of excrement to pelt the guests. There are screams.
 
The chimps have to get their revenge. Oh yes.
 
I guess there are times when the typically over-the-top media coverage proves useful ... :cool:

Search for missing boy ends as TV reporter covering case from helicopter spots child on roof

An 11-year-old boy reported missing by his parents turned up in a most unlikely place Wednesday: Taking a nap on the roof of his house.

The two-hour search came to an end as a news helicopter from WSVN-TV spied the boy nestled atop the roofing tiles of his Miami home.

"We spotted the child," reporter Ralph Rayburn radioed to his assignment desk. "He's on the roof of his house."

Police had been searching the neighborhood when the kid was seen snoozing on a tarp.

"He appears to be in good shape," Rayburn told his colleagues.

The helicopter journalist told Inside Edition that he was flabbergasted at the sight of the child as he passed over the house.

His first reaction was disbelief. "Am I seeing what I'm seeing? OK, is that him? That's the kid, on the roof. That's the kid!"

Officers helped the chagrined boy down from his hiding place.

And why had he run off? He didn't want to go to summer camp.

"I didn't mean to cause any trouble," he said. "I didn't mean to waste any of the police officers' time. I just do the stupidest things sometimes," the child said.

The skulls of a man and woman from nearly a hundred years ago have been found in carrier bags in a quiet market town.

Builders made the first discovery behind an empty Budgens store in Totnes, Devon.

As they investigated it police found a second in a separate bag near the River Dart less than a mile away.

Police say the skulls have been examined by specialist officers and are believed to be up to 100 years old.

The woman’s is better preserved and still has some hair. They will be more accurately dated after forensic analysis. ...

Only a headcase would carry skulls around like that.
 
LONG-LOST CLASS RING FOUND AFTER 52 YEARS

A

Fifty-two years after losing his high school ring shortly after graduation, a man has gotten it back - and it was all of 3 miles away from where he grew up in New Hampshire.

Ray Goodwin, of White River Junction, Vermont, graduated from Lebanon High School in 1965. The Valley News reports (http://bit.ly/2uRXcfk) he lost his ring before being drafted into the Air Force that year.

The retired 70-year-old cook got a call recently from Ann Kerrigan, in Wilder, Vermont, just across the state line. She found the ring, which was initialed, in her backyard. A call to the high school resulted in a search through yearbooks and other resources before Goodwin was reached. ...
