I Shouldn't Laugh, Really...

A man had a lucky escape after another man covered him in lighter fluid and tried to set him on fire.
And what's funny about that? Well...
The horrific attack, which happened outside the Fiery Angel in Hewlett Road...
SNORK!
Mr Threlfall applied for a pre-sentence report to be prepared on Norris, whom he said had no previous convictions for violence and was in a good job.
The paper doesn't say what sort of job.

no previous convictions for violence .. He didn't say 'no previous convictions'. Sometimes it is what isn't said that is important

Flattery will get you everywhere, anon... ;)

In 'Fahrenheit 451', perhaps!

"no previous convictions for violence .. He didn't say 'no previous convictions'."

Good point!
