Silly sausage.

yeah i saw that this morning – what a dickhead.

Testing my psychic powers here… so, without even clicking on that link, I'm guessing this is the tale of the chap breaking into a substation to steal metal and instead getting a nasty shock? Was just reading the story, thought exactly the same thing 😆

spot on…

We need that advert back on the telly from the 70's where the kid throws his frisby into a substation.

JIMMY…..NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! [ignited bell bottom jeans and lots of sparks]

just a shame its in South Yorkshire(again), makes us look bad!

Don't be so sure its not still around, I've seen it, and I'm 18.

aye, and Rotherham too no less.

I love this story. Instant payback! I'd like to wire up my flat like that. Although, thinking about it, that could be a bad idea….

A 0/10 round our way did something similar a couple of years ago.

Released from prison in the morning and found smouldering under a pylon with a set of ladders and bolt cutters in the afternoon. 🙄

some folks just get a buzz out of stealing

OHMy, I find this current trend of theft shocking. What (Watt) has it come to

I'll grab my coat

substations are potentially fatal and in the past our staff have discovered charred bodies in substations after similar incidents.

volting ambition ?

Ohm my god that was bad! People on here are currently not conducting themselves in a very humorous manner. Can everyone please show some resistance when it comes to bad puns.

they had amps-le warning

Blimey.

Guess I had a lucky escape as a kid. I used to get all my pron from the substation on our estate.

I'd have been especially at risk with a moist-ended stonker wafting around all that wiring and VCBs. 😕

They shoud get Coulombo on the case. Ooof.

Stealing from a power station, what a flash of inspiration that was.

IGMC – you too trailmonkey

Still, saved the cops from having to grill him

I believe he volted a security fence.

ENOUGH ALREADY.

I already did volt 🙂

Though could say it was a revolting mistake…

Dont you mean Colohmbo?

Not exactly the quintessential David Niven-esque English gentleman cat-burglar then.

There should be AMPle evidence to convict him.

Bet he'll contact a solicitor and look into the accessibility to get into the station for grounds for a claim. I honestly think this will be looking into.

(Considering the amount of legal ads on freeview at the moment that this lad will be bound to see)

Though could say it was a revolting mistake

eh? watt are you on about?

They wouldn't have to charge him either….

moist-ended stonker wafting around

😆

Is he still being currently held?

He really shouldn't have ventured in there, in any capacity.

yeah, their security should've put up a bit more resistance, shouldn't it?

How much do you get for 'metal pipes', anyway?

Don't know, but I reckon he'd have got his fingers burnt by someone overcharging him
Then his mates would given him a real roasting

They should have turned the heat on for sure

his outlook has been transformed ?

Apparently he's known as a bit of a live wire

He really shouldn't have ventured in there, in any capacity.

Walk down any small backwater street and you'll see why. I was in central Huddersfield the other day and every fat woman had an equally fat and vacant child with them, they breed idiots and as they dont work or travel they'll breed within essentially the same estate/gene pool I bet.

Poor fella was ohmly trying to make ends meet…

So what gene pool did you come from, Hora?

Or was it more of a puddle? 😉
