zoltan socrates Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Slightly anecdotal but... A mate of a mate was up at st James a couple of weeks back, a lady of middle eastern origin dropped her purse and like the good citizen he attempts to be he chased her to hand it back, he got a thank you and that was that, he thought, a few mins later she approached him and again thanked him for his kindness and then warned him to stay away from the town centre for the next few weeks Given the message left on the toilet door at the new Telford college is this worthy of reporting to the bizzies? I know this lad wouldn't as he prefers authoritative avoidance but neither is he bright enough, IMO, to bullshit this, with cctv etc these days this liaison may have been caught on camera and there may be a possibility of tracing this This did happen, my issue is is his some kind of on street trolling or is it worthy of sending it upstairs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sawdust Caesar Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 A story came out just after 9/11 about a guy standing behind a man of Arabian origin in a shop a week prior to 9/11, the Arab didn't have the right amount of money for what he was buying so the guy behind him handed over money to him so he could make his purchase. The Arab thanked him then said to the guy not to go on any flights to the US next week. So these kind of "stories" seem to appear now and again and will be rightly dismissed as nonsense.

tian447 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 If this was even remotely true, it would have been reported to the police. What has happened instead, is you have posted a stupid thing on a football forum, and got ripped for it. Jog on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im pretty sure there is someone on the Annoying Facebook Behaviour thread about it. The old 'warning from an Arab as reward for a recovered purse/wallet' thing been doing the rounds as a chain-email since the dawn of the internet.

Tazio Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 There was a Pakistani looking bloke on my bus earlier on (number 42) with a big Muslim beard, one of those little skullcaps, carrying a rucksack. On the way of he said thank you driver as he got off at Craigleith shopping centre. I'm not sure what to make of it really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The helpful individual asks, 'Why?' when told to avoid the place. The reply is, 'Because it's a ****ing dump!' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was going into the toilets in Starbucks the other day and an Asian man with a Quran under his arm walked out the cubicle. He looked me in the eye and said "I'd give it 10 minutes if I was you chief". I was out of there like a shot. Please warn your friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
