A cautionary tale....
 

...was putting the bins out tonight and 2 blokes beeped at me and told me to come over, they were driving a proper shitty car and told me to get in, I said 'eh? who the f•ck are you?' and they replied 'CID',

they looked nowt like coppers so I told them where to go, they got out and got on their radios, I honestly though it was some sort of scam or something and said to one 'you're not police, you're about 15 f•cking years old', he looked pretty shocked and showed me his ID but wouldn't comeinto the house so I could see it properly,

I argued for about 10 minutes telling them to get the proper police or they could 'kiss my arse',

anyway mrs spugsy came out and brought our IDs, and ahem, yes indeed they were CID,

turns out someone had reported some big bloke dressed in black 'running around the streets', not sure what sort of crime that is but I was all in black,

anyway we had a bit og a laugh and I apologised, to be honest I'm not sure they knew everything I said with my geordie accent but......if this happens to you, or anyone asks to see ID, I guess the best thing would be to just show it.

Reckon I could have actually got in a bit of trouble over what happened tonight right?? :sneaky:

Can imagine the report in Gulf News.........

Dave S with his alien accent pleaded not guilty (we think) to charges of abusive language towards the police. In his defence, he came out with some incoherent ramblings that neither the prosecutor or the defence lawyer were able to interpret. Dave S was fined Dhs10,000 sentenced to 3 years in prison followed by deportation. The stress of the case caused the Judge to abandon the other 57 cases to a later date!

That'll teach you to put the bins out! Get Mrs Spugsy to do it in future

Re: A cautionary tale....
 

you know what? she offered and I said 'I'll do it, you never do it!'

Re: A cautionary tale....
 

excellent :rofl:
have you had any carpet sellers turn up? I had a right dodgy geezer turn up on my doorstep and looked like he had just got out of holloway

Re: A cautionary tale....
 

unless he has CID ID then he'll get the same treatment.

I had an indian guy just walk into the villa this arvo and start going upstairs. My kids just about crapped their dacks - I had to ask him why he was in the house three times before he rattled off something incoherently about etisalat. Fortunately my husband was upstairs working and I called out to him and he met the guy half way down the stairs - the guy said "wrong villa" and left. I usually always keep the door locked. Probably was a mix up with the wrong villa, but still scared the kids.

lol...they are around everywhere....
see them all the time at Uptown...
last weekend my son left to go quadbiking at 3 am (yeah, middle of the night) and they came and had a talk with him...

Re: A cautionary tale....
 

I would have literally chucked him out of the door, fresh prince of bel air style....

Re: A cautionary tale....
 

hmmm well mrs spugsy wasn;'t too happy to see me mouthing off to them, she'd heard about them, not me though...

Re: A cautionary tale....
 

they crack me up....wearing their ill fitting shiny suits, slicked back hair...they look like cartoon caracters....

Re: A cautionary tale....
 

I was a bit stunned and because the kids and I had not been home long, thought he might have been a workman that my husband had previously invited in or something.
