P p p p p pick up a penguin...

 

 

A man who sold two penguins on Facebook after stealing them from a zoo in Cumbria has been jailed.

Bradley Tomes received a jail sentence of two years and eight months at Preston Crown Court for stealing exotic birds worth £53,000 from South Lakes Safari Zoo in Cumbria.

 

The 25-year-old, who previously worked at the zoo, stole two Humboldt penguins - which are native to the Pacific Coast of Chile and Peru - called Pablo and Penny

If he'd done this in Russia he would have been sent to the Pingulag.

Taa daa!

Think that comes from "trailer trash", yank snob term for "scheme goblin".

Are "the projects" not the Yankee-doo equivalent of our housing schemes?

I think trailer trash generally own their own lot/trailer, and are very proud of it. Not sure what they make of us seeing their homes as down-market holiday accommodation, however.

There seems to be more "wids" come out of Yankee trailers than Scottish schemes

That's true of the countries in general TBH.

We are not an attractive people.

I'm about an hours drive from that zoo just now if anyone wants any penguins brought back.

You spin me right round baby, right round...

 

 

Three men had to be rescued by firefighters after they got stuck in a tumble dryer in Essex, the fire service has said.

Essex County Fire and Rescue Service were called to a derelict laundry site in Bower Hill, Epping at 6.35pm on Friday.

 

They found the three young men, all believed to be in their late teens, stuck in the industrial-sized dryer.

While two of them had successfully climbed in, the third had got his ankles trapped in the door, the force said.

The fire service had to call out Essex Police, the helicopter medical emergency service (HEMS) and the ambulance service's hazardous area response team to help free the young men.

They used a range of heavy equipment and removed the dryer door so the third man could free himself
