bullywee Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 I stayed at a hostel in Darwin at the same time as an Irish guy called Paddy (surprise, surprise) who later moved on to Sydney and got put in a coma by his brother in a one-punch attack. Was pretty big news in Aus, and, I imagine, Ireland. Never really got to know him as I left not long after he arrived, but some of my friends that stayed on got quite pally with him. Same hostel in Darwin but a year later there was an Italian guy who I never talked to as he was very quiet and only hung around with other Italians, but was told about a month after I'd left to go to Sydney that he'd committed suicide by climbing up the scaffold of a construction site one of my friends worked on, started swinging about for a bit and then just let go. He'd been found in the showers with a kitchen knife a few days beforehand as well, IIRC. Very sad. The bizarre thing was that when we first heard about it we googled his name to try and find out more and all the Italian media sources were reporting that he'd died in a car crash. The only explanations we could think of we're that they'd baldly misinterpreted the information they'd been given or that they purposefully mis-reported it in order to hide that it was suicide.

microdave Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 I worked with this guy http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/pervert-who-raped-girl-of-10-1053291#tA29Tga8rO6ErzYg.97 He was a bit of a loose cannon when he'd had a drink but didn't think he'd be capable of child rape. Tbf, when I meet new people my first though isn't whether they could be a beast or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMMjag Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 In primary seven our class put on a musical show in the last week before the holidays to mark the school's building getting pulled down to make way for a new one. One boy did a solo performance of 'puppy love', and that was the last I saw of him until he ended up in the news for stabbing a woman 30+ times in her own home. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-30328507 Also some beast a couple of years above me who had been abusing his underage cousin for several years. He once chased one of my mates onto the Barrhead road where he got hit by a bus and broke his wrist. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-28213393 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 The local pub to where I grew up - The Tam Bain in Laurieston - was once at the centre of a gun-running row for the UVF (or UDA, or one of the other loyalist terrorist groups (or maybe all of them)). I knew a few of the boys who were involved. I have never drank in said pub, although over the last few years it's tried to market itself as more of a Falkirk pub.

They shut for a few hours so they could take part in the local orange walk. They fool no one. Lauries is a Falkirk pub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lauries has never been a Falkirk pub. They try to claim it is every time they close down and re-open, which is usually twice a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 A guy at my school who used to get bullied a bit ended up killing an Edinburgh gun shop owner in a robbery, intending to supply the guns to the UDA. The UDA knew nothing about it. Supposedly he used to walk around town with a cowboy belt with 2 real loaded 6 shooters under a big overcoat.

scotfree Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Boy I went to school with violently attacked and raped a woman in Easthouses park. Never liked the boy, but never ever thought he'd do something like that. c**t. Was that the guy who lived in Newton Street? And you have me intrigued about the two dodgy teachers from Newbattle.....

Jacksgranda Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 I'm not sure why they felt the need to tell us it was an alsatian, that's a bit like the tabloids telling us that the woman who was raped was blonde but for legal reasons they're not naming her. Its window dressing and slightly creepy, are alsatians (or blondes) more provocative ? Blonde alsatians are a real turn on. Allegedly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chomp my root Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 One of my old classmates was on the front of the Daily Record years ago for banjoing Luke Mitchell in Polmont. When I was a young nipper I was with a friend playing football and he invited me back to his house to play the computer. I walked in and Paul Ferris was sitting talking to my friend's Dad. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=banjoing So is the guy a lover or a fighter ?

Jarkko Wiss Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-edinburgh-east-fife-17953316 I grew up in the same street as this overly aggressive nutter. We called him Gattuso when playing fitba because he'd just run around snarling and launching two footed tackles at everyone. The weird thing is his brother is one of the nicest people you could meet.

Lyle Lanley Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 He could be a p***k at times Could Docherty. I remember after the news broke we were all speaking about it and most of the lassies in my class said they fancied him. Weird as he was no oil painting. Always had good banter with him about the football mate. Was shocked when it came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 I worked with this guy http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/pervert-who-raped-girl-of-10-1053291#tA29Tga8rO6ErzYg.97 He was a bit of a loose cannon when he'd had a drink but didn't think he'd be capable of child rape. Tbf, when I meet new people my first though isn't whether they could be a beast or not. That's the good thing about p&b - the potential child rapists are swiftly identified. Eg, by the use of the phrase 'roasted cheese' or if they wear green trousers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
