Went for a run at dinnertime, mostly on the Salford side of the river. A bit of a loop near Clifton Park and then back along the old canal.
There was a bloke grunting and groaning next to a kissing gate. He was having trouble putting his rucksack on his shoulders, so I helped him.
I noticed that the rucksack weighed a ton.

Bloke: Cheers for that. Bloody thing….
Me: Jesus! What’s in your bag? Concrete?
Bloke: Nah mate. Lead.
Me (thinking): aye aye….

He walked off.
I carried on running and eventually arrived at a junction. I was a bit lost.
At that precise moment, 2 coppers rolled up on mountain bikes. The gods were smiling upon me.

Me: Hello. Which way is Agecroft Road?
Copper: Down there, along a bit…etc.
Me: Cheers. Are you looking for a bloke with a load of lead?
Copper: No. Why? Have you seen one?
Me: Yes. About a mile that way. Fat bloke with a wooly hat on. He’s not moving fast cos he’s got a bag of lead.
Copper: Oh right. We’d best go and have a chat with him then.

er…that’s it. I then went back to work and ate my butty.

Was there any evidence of a run in with one of the attack dogs that patrols Pilkies? Leg missing, throat ripped out, etc?

there was a childs face taped to the back of the bag.

I was barked at by one of the dogs as I ran past the fence at Pilkys.

The bloke looked like Justin Moorhouse.

Oh right.

What was in the sandwich?

Grass.

😉

hard boiled egg and some salad.

Can anyone recommend a suitable rucksack for carrying lead?

so was it lead or copper, im confused

following on from yesterdays post I would have said:

“I’m going to come here everyday & if I see you stealing lead again I’ll kill you”
“what”
“I’ll kill you”

hahahahaha.

what kind of salad though 🙄

They probably found him dead – succumbed to an agina attack. A rucksack full of lead has got to weigh a fair bit.

You’re very short on detail here.

What bread?

If they caught him, they could arrest him for flashing.

one egg, hardboiled and sliced. arranged atop a bed of lettuce, cucumber and tomatoes. Some raw onions.
Granary bread, no mayonnaise (the devil’s spunk).
Cut diagonally.

The bloke is probably starting a 5 year stretch in chokey as we speak. I say ‘good’ because he nicked that lead. Probably from some children. He looked ‘the type’.

training i expect…the rugby clubs round here put bags of sand in their rucksacks when they go for a run as the lead has all been pinched

lol @ cougar

Terrahawk – Touts out 😉

Hah! It was a trap!

You’re obviously fattist, cos of the crap sandwich, no mayo and the running thing. Therefore I deduce that it was you who nicked the lead and you’ve framed some fat bloke for it.

You’re a real piece of work, you are. Take him away, mods.

raw onion – shanizle – would like to be sat next to your desk!

They probably found him dead – succumbed to an agina attack. A rucksack full of lead has got to weigh a fair bit.

the op is probably going to go down for manslaughter then, for lifting the weight on to his back and running away.

No one likes a grass… 😡

No everyone likes a grass responsible member of society who helps maintain the law and order of this Britain we call great…

He was having trouble putting his rucksack on his shoulders, so I helped him.

Doesn’t that make you an accomplice?

No one likes a grass.

arsed.
