Sitting looking out of the window watching some dude in a hoody walking up and down the street a couple of times, not so subtly hiding something up his sleeve.

One side of the road is just parked cars, the other side is a low wall with a grassy ‘park’ area on the other side, which is just getting re-turfed.

The guy did a couple of passes, then looked like he dropped something over the side of the wall. I thought maybe he was planting some drugs or something but he continued walking along the wall for 10 metres or so emptying stuff out of the bag, looked like white powder but it was hard to tell.

What was that all about? Was he planting magic mushrooms or something, I might go investigate but not sure if he’s watching waiting for someone to pick up or something (I’ve actually seen people nearby picking up drugs stashed in someone’s hedge).

I saw someone blatantly obeying the Law earlier, from my window. I’m outraged. Who can I complain to?

Eh?

Phone up yer friends & form a lynch mob!

Ha, don’t be trying to insinuate I’m some sort of prude, just curious, wasn’t your run of the mill ‘walking along the street’ type behaviour, thats all.

Maybe he’s digging a secret tunnel somewhere, and has been watching ‘The Great Escape’ too much.

Or, the powder is actually the ground up bones of his murder victims who’ve been tortured in a most horrible manner.

You never know; you just never know. Harold Shipman was just a friendly amicable GP, to his younger patients. Tony Blair claimed to be a Socialist once.

Trust no-one. Suspect everyone. It’s safer that way…

id go and have a look what hes throwing over the wall.

I did, no big exciting bags of stuff, just patches of white powder.

I’m going for magic mushrooms, just need to wait till september to find out!

GrahamS – had exactly the same thought 🙂

I’ve not got sound on this computer 🙁

I’m guessing that second video is something to do with informants and snitching on one another though, I wasn’t planning on snitching on anyone, just curious!

Well it definitely ain’t shrooms

Maybe its just some lovely crocii, and he was just being scoping the place out first to make sure there were no hungry birds watching him…

Guerrilla gardening possibly?

Guerrilla gardening possibly?

Thats what I thought, not the benevolent type though, sewing wildflower seeds and lovely poppies, but a breakaway group of misanthropic guerrilla gardeners gone bad. In the spring the the view from 13thfloormonks house will be Japanese Knot Weed as far as the eye can see.

It’s hilarious how theres a rush to this thread of unfunny people trying to prove same. I guess all those media studies graduates have too much time on their hands right now, what with being unemployed.

However, had Tarquin’s precious <insert niche £3k mtb> been stolen, from the garden shed, they’d all be bemoaning that no one who saw the thieves acting suspiciously did anything.

Thats how low this forum occasionally drops, its just a race for the terminally unfunny to try and “get in first” rather than offer any helpful or practical advice. That the ratio is about 9-1 going by this thread, is sad. If I want funny, I’ll go to b3ta.

Hashing?

@ Jujuuk68

Blimey. Knickers + knot syndrome 🙂

hashing?

Do you mean planting weed? That would be A) Quite handy but B) Hopelessly optimistic, even if it did grow I think it might be spotted swaying above the two foot wall he’s attempted to plant it behind.

Just noticed one of the neighbours going over and having a shuffty as well, they must have spotted him too. They just came back with a grin on their faces, they must know something I don’t!

I’d have called the cops – provided he didn’t see you seeing him.

Well if I want funny I’ll invite Jujuuk to post on B3ta while we all watch. The OP’s question doesn’t appear to be terribly terribly serious. The actions of the person he observed are pretty nonsensical, and although conducted as though they could be suspicious theres little for anyone to worry about if someone take a substance no matter how contraband to chucks it in the dirt, rendering it useless (unless its ricin or polonium obviously, in which case its probably too late to worry). The subject of mr monks investigations is as likely mad a box of frogs as he is malevolent. Or he’s just full of junk and thick as shit.

Maybe he’s got a terrible sense of direction and a can only find his way home if he leaves a trail.

Ahhh… I get you Druidh, I remember a mate telling me about a hash he was on. Unless they do ‘slalom hash’ through trees, over courses approx ten metres long, I doubt it though.

Guerrilla gardening seems to make the most sense, just not sure what all the subterfuge was about!

just not sure what all the subterfuge was about!

Wait till what ever they’ve planted grows – you’ll be able to see what it spells then. I’m reminded of bulbs planted by people doing community service sometimes revealing quite candid messages in the spring. 🙂

You should of gone out and asked him what he was doing, if he was up to no good he would of moved on.

Or stabbed you in the eyes.

Either way you’d have got to the bottom of it 🙂

Crematorium employee taking work home?

my girlfriend saw a guy brazenly doing a deal in tollcross in edinburgh the other day – cash from one guy, bag of white powder to the other… apparently the suits outside the office were astounded!

We used to get that on a daily basis outside our office in Fountainbridge. The dealer didn’t realise that we could see right into the bus stop, it was hilarious but pretty grim at the same time.

Or, the powder is actually the ground up bones of his murder victims who’ve been tortured in a most horrible manner.

ssh up about that.

my money is on him planting triffids, they look like hoodies but in plant form.

Its OK, false alarm, he was just planting beanstalks.

They block the sunshine out a little, and I’ll need to get my Giant Insurance paid up, but its something different at least!

Yay, free sweetcorn then!

i’ve called the terrosim unit for you and given them elfinsafety’s details. after all… he’s spent time in a muslim household 😯

plus with posting pictures of chairs on the capitalism thread i think we can all work out what he’s trying to say 😆

Eek! – It’s catching!!

A MAJOR emergency service operation was launched last night after eight mystery piles of powder were discovered in the streets of Dalry.

Urban baking ?

isnt that just hash house harrier markings?

So? What’s that got to do with terrorism?

Lol at philconsequence for quality inappropriate religious remark. I’m berating myself for finding it amusing and hopefully I’ll learn my lesson. Fwiw Elfin’s comments have made me laugh a fair bit the last week so hat’s off (or similar cranial/tonsorial creations coverings as appropriate).

Have a sniff – if it’s got a slightly cat-pissy smell, it’s amphetamine, if a solvent smell, cocaine.

God only knows why he’s dump it over a wall though.
