There Are 18 Words That Guarantee A Fun Read In A Local Paper...

And those are "Following the death, friends of Mr Williams took to social network site Facebook to pay tribute to him."

Let's hear it, then:
Gemma Squires wrote: "Can't believe your gone.. It doesn't seem real.. R.I.P BIG Cuz.. Gone but never guna b forgotten Love u Always xxxxxxxx."
Jayne 'ebinx' Davies said: "Not sure what to say, you were a big man with a huge heart. Had many laughs n lots of drunken silly times with you. kept expecting to see you out on Sat, it's still such a shock. Hope you're having a blast up there the boys R.I.P Ginge. Gone but never forgotten. xxx."
And the tragic occasion that cut down the life of this potential future brain surgeon?
The man killed in a Swansea Valley car crash was driving a stolen car, police have confirmed.
Andrew Williams, from Clase, died in the collision near Ystradgynlais just after 8am on Saturday.
The 29-year-old was the sole occupant of a silver Honda Civic which left the road and hit a tree near the All Black Arms.

It may be rude to presume to speak for we law abiding citizens but:
"Ha, Ha, HaHaHa....."
Sorry I feel that for such people sympathy can be found in the dictionary between Scum and Thief.

The comments in the paper trump anything that Facebook can offer. "jaymerav", for example, tugs at the heartstrings with
JESUS ****GING OF A DEAD PERSON NONE OF U HEARTLESS IDIOTS KNEW ID MUCH RATHER HAVE KNOWN ANDREW THE WAY HE WAS AND THE ERROR OF HIS WAYS THAN KNOW ANY OF YOU HORRIBLE HATEFULL SAD PEOPLE THEY SAY GOD TAKES THE BEST AND AS YOU CAN SEE HE LEAVES THE ROTTEN REST

I could go on, but my eyes are full of tears.

Firefighters from Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service's Pontardawe and Abercrave stations were also involved in making the vehicle safe following the collision.
Bit late for that.

Dead car thief, nobody else killed, hopefully the rightful owner of the car will get his insurance paid out in good time.

Although on a personal level this crim might have been nice to his mother it doesnt' detract from the fact that he committed a crime and killed himself whilst doing it.

Although all deaths are sad and early deaths are a waste of human potential, I cannot help thinking that this guy brought his own death upon himself.

He decided to nick a car, he decided to drive it inappropriately. Darwin strikes again.

Libs firmly believe that a forty-something businessman doing 35 on a dual carriageway at 6:00 on a Sunday morning is a potential killer, but chavs nicking high-performance cars and driving round the estate at 90 mph are just loveable jacks the lads who should be left to get on with it.

It's inescapeable. You reap what you sow.

Still a bit sad though.

Fahrenheit211 said...

'God takes the best', My arse ! As a famous TV character once said.

Agree Noggin, you reap what you sow. This guy certainly has reaped a just reward for nicking a car.

I had to laugh at the comments on the local newspaper board, if you had judged the guy by what the friends were saying you'd have thought he was some sort of angel who had a one off mishap, rather than a scummy car thief.

Still, one dead car thief, nobody else injured or killed and only the car and a tree damaged. Sounds like a result to me.

I haven't laughed so much since the last one. Got to love Facebook, the comments sections of online local papers AND '...are ejumakayshum sistem...' (sic)

Still hard to beat a 'trident' victim facebook page tho' ...al; dem soljas an'dat!

You heartless bastards! A tree near my house was crashed into a few years ago and we had to organise a petition to prevent it as one of our neighbours is a tree surgeon and insisted it was fine - which it is but it has a distinct kink.

He must have been barking, ashes to ashes, he'll be pining now, he may have taken acorner too quick...right...yellow carding myself!

Darwin strikes again. Result!

Hey Julia,

The new format blows.

I feel sorry for the tree

ATA, the tree probably contributed more to society that the dead thief did.

"Sorry I feel that for such people sympathy can be found in the dictionary between Scum and Thief."

Me too. Like others, I'm upset about the tree though.

"I could go on, but my eyes are full of tears. "

Me too. And my sides just ache!

"...but chavs nicking high-performance cars and driving round the estate at 90 mph are just loveable jacks the lads who should be left to get on with it."

Good point!

"...if you had judged the guy by what the friends were saying you'd have thought he was some sort of angel who had a one off mishap, rather than a scummy car thief."

At least Mum didn't give an interview in which she called him a 'good lad'...

JuliaM said...

"The new format blows."

You mean the moderation? Sorry, troll issues! I pop in and release posts as quick as I can.

"ATA, the tree probably contributed more to society that the dead thief did."

Indeed! More trees, fewer street scum, please.
