There little blow up is in the back of there van in the picture,that picture is just for effect to make the story a bit more meaty. That's my look on it as any body would know a rib that big will show up on coast guard radar and it meeting a bigger boat would get them out to you,my pals have had it happen to them just while messing about offshore and tying up together for a natter and the coast guard came out to every boat to check what they were up to.. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well said more to life that jail. Plus it's not like it used to be. Lads having a split chilling out in cell. Screws not giving a f**k because wing was mellowed out. Now it's all that spice. Last time a was in Armley on a sec 47 minor assault dropped down from a sec 20 then to 47. Very lucky. Cps f****d up in a way. But jail after 15 years away opened my eyes. Still some of old screws were there. Said its changed lad. Lol. f***ing dick heads screaming like zombies lads laughing at them giving them it. Just f***ing it up for themselves. Pads getting spun on a daily basis. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We just watched and laughed then headed home as it had feck all to do with me and i didn't want any part of what was going down that night,lol.... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
