Now That’s What I Call Planning Ahead!

A depressed man who torched the home of his girlfriend and her four children has been jailed for six years.

Clearly, he had the ‘I’m depressed!’ excuse in mind when he was posing for his mugshot…


And ladies, please choose your bed-warmer a littler more carefully, in future:
The court heard he had previously doused himself in petrol in a failed suicide attempt and torched an ex-girlfriend’s Christmas tree.
Is there anything about that that says ‘Alpha male! Choose his genes!’ to you?

Sigh. All for the want of being better prepared with Chief Superintendent Trotman's "Twenty hot tips for torchers" (Tuesday Books)

He's got big ears, so perhaps was useful downstairs too?

Heh!

"Perhaps he just liked the warm glow?"

Let's hope they send him to Ford Open then... ;)

Torched a Christmas tree.

I think that on a subconscious level JuliaM identifies herself with the "ladies" referred to in the article, and the criminal as being an aggressor against her. My point being this: the women this man was "bed warming" with is female only in classification only. The only kind of women a man like that could get would be a fat, old, shambling travesty.

Hey Mankrik, you bitch; you may be a slim transvesty, but here's no need to have a go at the fat ones!
