The Ghost Of Fudge Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 scratch that! it's the moorings: a pack of werewolves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Haha. That'd be sweet.All joking aside, you can get small and relatively cheap tracking devices quite easily off the internet. Plus, werewolves would only be of use if the kit was stolen on a full moon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsby Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 All joking aside, you can get small and relatively cheap tracking devices quite easily off the internet. Excellent idea. Surveillance cameras shoud also be installed in the ladies' toilet cubicles, just incase women are secretly pinching toilet roll to take home with them.I'm pretty sure this was what Chuck Berry was on the lookout for.

Guest Exposure @ Lemon Tree Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 You need a device that electrifies the cymbals/stands if they cross the Moorings threshold - that'll teach the thieving cunts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 You should put electronic tags on everything and put those detectors at either side of the door, like they have in shops (so if you take something between them without paying for it, an alarm goes off). Only instead of an alarm, a length or razor wire should come out and slice their achilles open. Or a flamethrower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ghost Of Fudge Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 could make all the drummers wear exploding collars, battle royale stylee? and when all cymbals are accounted for at the end of the night, we release them?

How do shopping trolleys land up in various locations around Garthdee/King Street etc?(Okay - I realise you could lift them over the thing, but you're still speaking bollocks) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaizen Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 Don't do it.We tested it (with a full run up) and ended up going flying into the bushes as the wheels locked Mythbusters has a lot to answer for...He speaks the truth. It just locks one of the wheels up. You see people pushing them with like 2 bags in them lifting the back 2 wheels off the ground... Surely its easier to just carry the bags?x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get in the mindset of a mink, then you can think like a mink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul G Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Lost a boss TU chromatic tuner pedal on January 17th too. Any sign of this one? This sort of thing should teach me not to get arseholed at gigs, sadly not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sort of thing should teach me not to get arseholed at gigs, sadly not.The stage is very dark. It's probably till up there with dozen of other tuners. Even some large items have gone missing up there for years. Who knows, there might be a crazed band member hiding in the corner behind the speaker cabs, and living on the dregs out of the last bands glasses. Perhaps that's where Bobby is.We'll have a look, please someone tie a rope round my waist - I'm going iiiiinnnnnnnn... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
up the cuts Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Perhaps that's where Bobby is.That wouldn't happen to be a young ginger haired lad with glasses? Went missing about 2 years ago maybe?I remember he had a reputation for being unable to handle his drink very well...i may know of his whereabouts if its the same chap.

Bigsby Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 or be a true minker and just lift it up. Not very convenient if you've got a trolly full of stolen goods though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Not that Ive ever stolen a trolley but I have got a trolley past the line before just to prove to myself that I could (Im talking about ASDA Garthdee here).Its just a strong magnetic strip (well, quite a thick strip) under the concrete. Go into the bushes and youll be fine or be a true minker and just lift it up. Mink problem solved. Funnily enough I just left my trolley past the line. I suspect a minker stole it.I mentioned above that I'd never tried it, which isn't strictly true, I did once try to wheel a trolley out of the car park at Asda Garthdee, just to see if I could, and as I was approaching the red line, a crazy tramp came running out of the bushes and started yelling gibberish at me. I think he had appointed himself as some sort of Guardian Of The Trolleys, a bit like the troll in the 3 Billy Goats Gruff. It wasn't even words, just gibberish but it was obviously threats and he looked real fucking angry, so I just gave it to him cos he was nuts and a bit scary. Then he followed me all the way to the door, shouting more gibberish at me.Anyway, that scared me off ever trying it again. If that's what you have to contend with to get a free trolley, I'll just carry my bags. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemonade Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Must've been one of Asda's employees, surely?Nope. Matted shaggy hair. Big beard. Red face. Dirty clothes. Definite tramp.That's a truly haunting tale. My top fear as a child was the troll from the 3 Billy Goats Gruff. I won't be attempting to steal a trolley ever again - not that I was planning on it, but y'know... this just seals it in stone.That was my favourite story when I was a kid and I used to get my dad to read it to me every night. My folks used to take me to Aden Country Park when about 5 or 6, there's one bit deep in the woods where there's a long wooden bridge across a river. Every time we went there my dad used to run ahead and hide under the bridge. Then as I was crossing it he'd yell "Who's that trip-trapping over my bridge!", to which I'd usually squeal with delight. Good times Though it probably wouldn't have been your idea of fun... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
