A year ago today I was mugged

:(

FFS

Why take a long and expensive case to court, when the justice system can milk motorists much more easily?

this all true mate ?

To be honest i would just follow him and wait till hes walking home alone and make sure he never leaves a hospital bed again.

Yes Gary.

Went home to a small town in my homeland and was mugged.

I was drunk after a great night out and he obviously saw me as an easy target.

To say I was seething when that cop rang me to say the case was dropped would be an epic underestimation.

meanwhile Paul Clarke goes to jail for handing in a shotgun.

(you're right tho EE, it stinks)

I know ive waled home from Boro town a few times, some of them quite drunk, and if some big guy wanted to mug me, im pretty sure he could

frustrating when they get away with it, but to get caught and still get off brings a sad face :(

Well said Grim - Country totally *ucked!

Really pathetic this guy was let off, maybe he could sue the police for harrassment if burglars can sue for cutting themselves on the wiondow they broke. Country is going down the pan.

terrible mr eboue sorry m8 and for the other innocent people as well, the justice system needs to change ffs :(

Country has ALREADY gone down the pan .

You were a MUG to get MUGGED imo

The prognosis looks a bit premature if it only happened last night

Big Charlie would have beaten the man up and, in the same move, singlehandedly put an end to world hunger. NAP

Muggers will never pick on me.

They're cowards, so they pick on small nerdy types, drunks or old ladies, small drunk nerdy types, or drunken old ladies.

I am 6 foot 2 and 14 stone.

He was bigger and sober.

Was he armed?

I dont know.

What was the town Eboue ?

How did he manage to get the money out of your pocket? Or were you already holding it?

Sad tale, we all know this could happen to any of us. :|

A small town in the middle of Wales boss.

reason i asked was cos i used to live in wales...though not in the middle...

Mr Eboue 18 Dec 23:37
I dont know.

You can't put up a fight ?

Probably don't have a jail cell for him because it is occupied by the guy who beat the burglar with a cricket bat

I was drunk.

How the ** was I to know he didnt have a **ing knife/baseball bat ffs?


Dont give me the '' why didnt you hit him back'' horse** please.

If someone grabs you by the throat, after you've consumed about 8 pints, you do as they say.

Do you ?

I wouldn't know.

Big Charlie sounds well hard

You've never seen me say that I'm hard, well hard, or murderous.

that's true - but I gather from your posts that you are well hard.

eboue how did you hear about my recent glassing episode? That copper grass me up again?

:^0

This is not a laughing matter Charles :(

Mr Eboue, I'm not supporting Big Charlie in this. (If he ever needs any support he can bleedin well get one from the chemist like Orioles does.)

However, in his usual meek and reticent fashion, Charlie has pointed out one of the rules of life. Don't get rat-arsed if you can't handle the company you might find yourself in.

Charlie, and I quote, asked you a question: [i]You can't put up a fight ?[/]
By failing to resist some twunt who might well have been unarmed you've left yourself open to feeling depressed and ashamed for the rest of your life. What would have happened if the mugger had demanded you drop your keks and bend over? Would you have fought back then?

There are some occasions when your money isn't worth fighting for. When well outnumbered or well out-armed, for example. There are also times when going down fighting is better than living in shame, such as being raped or allowing someone else to be raped. (I'm talking about men here, I don't expect that standard from women or children.)

You've only yourself to blame here, mate. Yes, nobody should have mugged you. But you shouldn't still be fretting after a year.

Get yourself down the gym and learn to box. Boxing is probably one of the worst forms of self-defence but it teaches you not to be afraid of fighting and also how to continue after receiving a blow.

Good luck, mate, put last year behind you and walk into the new year with confidence. Don't let one mistake ruin your life.

PS to Big Charlie.

Nobody will ever tell you to drop your keks. I've seen your picture. :^0

Mind you, your lass is pretty. You must have a good personality. ;-)

See you at Chelters. I'm bringing Tommy. (Tommy doesn't know that yet...)

My lass is pretty because she is pretty, I've got taste. Apart from the fact she's 15 years younger than me, she likes a man to look, and act, like a man should look and act.

When I'm dead, pretty boys neeed not apply for the vacancy :^0

Looking forward to Cheltenham and meeting you Bill, and drag that old inebriate Toes along with you. Just dangle a giant roast spud in front of him and he'll follow you to the ends of the earth.

Billkiller usually one of the best reads on the forum - but this came across as daft! Is he supposed to do a pre beers reccy of his intended route for the rest of the night?!?!? Most people would never leave the house to go for a drink if they applied this logic.

You've only yourself to blame here, mate. Yes, nobody should have mugged you. But you shouldn't still be fretting after a year.


The original post came across more that Mr E was p!ssed off that the guilty party had struck again when it could have been avoided if he had rightly been banged up. Not that Mr E was still waking up screaming in the middle of the night about the experience.

I've twice got involved with toerags praying on people where others walked past, heading home after a few beers, as I always applied BC's logic that best to live with the consequences than wake up feeling ashamed. However, after a certain amount of alcohol it obviously affects your balance and your reflexes and it doesn't matter how much bravado, adrenalin or testosterone is pumping through your veins. One time I ended up with a dozen stitches half an inch from my eye which I could have lost, and the other with a few small stanley knife cuts to the stomach and arms. It certainly makes you think twice about doing it again, and on a slightly different note you become a bit more aware of your own mortality when you have young kids to support.

2weeks ago you were 6ft 2 and 12stone Eboue,have you been victim binging?

He's a big man, but is in bad shape.

I have a horrible feeling about this thread...
as to why the Police didn't pursue it .....Mr Eboue .. :0

btw...my opinion is ...they should have prosecuted the tw..
