How did I miss this earlier today?
Brilliance!
I always read it (in my mind) as Neal G Lover.
This has got to be the comment of the thread!
Had me in stitches!
Who the hell are you Neal Glover?
Lots to choose from mmmm!

Amusingly, the OP did once post in a non-classifieds thread titled
Embarrassingly stupid things you have said...
Classic thread where someone claims the world is flat and the moons made of cheese.then gets genuinely uptight when nearly everyone who replies suggests that's not quite true and some are so bold that they suggest the OP is a bit of prat. Made me chuckle so lets have three cheers for amusing numpties and prats.
Hip hip ------
Nice comments there Neal, gold star for you to steal, thieving git.
FTFY.
the person's bike went missing (in most people's books that stealing)
In some books loss is the same as theft. These books are usually fiction.
the person's bike went missing (in most people's books that stealing)
Unfortunately the only book that counts in this sort of thing is the "big bumper book of laws" (IANAL but I think that's the technical name for it). I believe that in law, theft is defined as intent to deprive someone of something. Bike shop moved, gave customer their bike back from their new premises. No intent to deprive. No theft.
Wrong again OP.
I always see nealglover's name and think of this lot:
Question is... who, or what, is the special sauce? And do we really want to know?
Any gold stars left ?
I'm Neal Glover by the way, in case I hadn't made that clear.
No, I'm Neal Glover and so is my wife!
You're my wife now.
Our local mobile library has just done a flit. They took all the books with them too, the thieving gits.
Come to think of it - when I was a kid our bloody milkman used to nick all the bottles. Strange thing was, they were empty when he nicked them, so I guess he was just doing it for the thrills.
'They' fed me the line that the bottles were re-used. Now it all makes sense to me. The lying, cheating barstewards.
Bloody cleaners stole my mug last night.
Fortunately I found an almost identical one on the drainer in the kitchen. I could almost swear it was mine apart from mine had some coffee dregs in it, which they also nicked. Thieving barstewards.
And therein lies the dangers of believing ANYTHING thats on Facebook.
Tis the modern way sadly, make a mistake, go postal on anyone that dares to question you.
God forbid the OP might show some humility and apologise for getting it wrong.
in fairness to the OP I think he replied quite well in his last comment
EDIT: I was Neil G's lover
God forbid the OP might show some humility and apologise for getting it wrong.
Would the OP like chips or mash with the huge slice of humble pie?
Or he could just re-raise all-in and really kick off.
I, for one, have got the kettle on and might break into the specially reserved dark chocolate hobnobs should the OP appear again here.
Whatever the outcome, this has been one of the funniest threads in ages. Bravo.
in fairness to the OP I think he replied quite well in his last comment
I thought he totally sidestepped the fact that he misread the situation and jumped in to accuse an apparently reputable business of theft.
An apology would have been a better tactic I reckon. But it probably wasn't his fault, bound to be someone else's etc etc etc etc.
I'm now eating a large slice of humble pie, I hold my hands up and admit I got it wrong, I apologise for jumping the gun and using someone else's info.
I can't be the first person to be wrong and I certainly won't be the last. I'll try to get more involved in non classified threads, although some of the comments made me laugh.

In my mind, I imagine humble pie to be a sweet dish, rather than savoury 🙂
Fair play OP.
Account been hacked?
Now, now, play nice. The OP has shown contrition and deserves to be left in peace.
I have to confess, though, a little bit of me did want the OP to go 'all-in' with a mega-rant.
I guess that means I'm not perfect either, then.
Here's to common sense breaking out once in a while. It's actually quite refreshing.

Well that's a bit of an anti-climax 🙁
(Joking!)
Fair play, everyone makes mistakes.
I get wound up by things like this though as most of my family including me have been small business/sole traders, and this sort of knee jerk rumour spreading can be really damaging.
This thread has been keeping me amused and reminded me of this article in the Grauniad at the weekend.

So fair play to the OP.
I can't be the first person to be wrong
Indeed. That would be Joe Cocker.

That article distinguishes itself with this WW2 poster. I'll always remember hitler as a slightly grotty saucepan from now on
