A former member of the rap group So Solid Crew has 432,000 seconds to go before he has worked off his debt for attacking his teenage girlfriend.Hmm, that name rings a bell…
Darren Weir, 32, known as Skat D in the group which made the hit song 21 Seconds, has been ordered to do 120 hours (432,000 seconds) unpaid work after hitting the 17-year-old girl in the face.
*snaps fingers*
Ah, of course!
A member of UK garage collective the So Solid Crew has been fined £1,500 by a court for assaulting a 15-year-old schoolgirl fan.Oh, just lovely.
Darren James Weir, 22, of Pimlico, central London, admitted breaking the girl's jaw on 27 December last Christmas after a concert by the group in Cardiff.
The judge said he was not handing down a jail sentence in order to preserve Weir's career prospects.Hmm, was that wise? Just how are those prospects these days?
Michael Burdett, representing Weir, said he left So Solid Crew in 2004 and is now heavily in debt with his bank and receiving income support. Mr Burdett told the court Weir and his victim ended their relationship after he attacked her.*chuckle*
Clearly not.
"known as Skat D"
ReplyDeleteMore or less told me everything I needed to know about the chap.
What sort of work is Skat D qualified to do? I don't think that we grow sugar cane or cotton here, and we cannot send him out to pick strawberries, as I doubt that he's seen one.
ReplyDeleteHe could work with retarded children (his band's core demographic), and he might learn something - if he manages not to assault them.
WV: zolou. how apopros.
Skat by name, scat by nature...
ReplyDeleteRings a bell? No I'm getting confused with the other So Solid Crew member

"More or less told me everything I needed to know about the chap."
ReplyDeleteIndeed, as Lynne points out, it's appropriate for all sorts of reasons...
"What sort of work is Skat D qualified to do?"
Mop toilets?
"No I'm getting confused with the other So Solid Crew member "
