keninpalamos Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Brian Kirby - 2015-08-10 9:54 AM colin - 2015-08-10 9:14 AM...................... The facts are that police guidelines where that all burglaries should have been investigated, and that for attempted burglaries a forensic team should attend at even numbers and at odd numbers a police officer should attend and decide if there was further evidence to be followed up by the forensic team. With that level of distortion applied to their reporting in pursuit of a good story, its surprising the police haven't charged them with fraud - for calling themselves newspapers! :-D Brilliant! damn wish I had thought of that. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NHS could have just given Micky the fence or 'Fingers Malone the nod and asked them to pop round for five minuets. :D :D :D Great entertainment though, keep it coming! Your assuming that a gas used in anesthesia was the incapacitant ;-) ............ As far as I'm aware no degrees are required to be a tea leaf? :-S...........

Brabander Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I totally agree with your common sense comments Brian. The Daily Myth has form of course and the gullible will always be gullible. My motorhome (just as all others) has lots of ventilation openings. However ether is heavier than air and if somebody injected ether into your motorhome it would tend to sink to the floor. Most propane gas detectors should also detect ether. I would suggest that EVERY motorhome should have a propane gas detector. Apart from all that ether is expensive and although you can readily purchase canisters of ether for starting engines in extremely cold conditions a 20 oz canister will cost at least £25 and this will not go far in a typical motorhome unless the people sleep on the floor.

You must be bored. :D That used to be my local rag when I lived in Darlo. I like this comment. "This has been going on in France for over fifteen years that I know personally about !!! And in hotels (if someone can climb to your window lock it ! ) especially in the cheaper budget hotels as they are normally situated on the outskirts next to the north go areas for the police " So someone in Darlo has 15 years of personal experience of being gassed in that evil place that is France. :D Must be true then.

Brock Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 I read in November 2016's 'Trucking' magazine that cartridges were inserted into the Start Pilot system fitted to Ford wagons in the past. An inexperienced driver, who used three cartridges instead of one, fell asleep for three hours following the release of ether. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olley, you are absolutely right. When I was much younger, and very inexperienced, I dared to stop on a motorway service area in France (had a large Damon Daybreak at the time) and squeezed between two lorries on what can only be described as a very full car park area as it was getting late and I did indeed feel tired by the day's driving. Quite early in the morning I awoke refreshed ready for the day ahead, stepped outside into a completely deserted car park! The phenomenon of 'gassing' aside, I count myself as very lucky and, needless to say, have never risked staying on motorway Aires since.

hallii Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Just to add a bit of variation to the gassing theme, I have read that drugs in an aerosol or powder form could render sleeping people unresponsive to noise etc. The upside is that the trip is free!

Hi Goldi, Are you referring to the aire at Marboué, in the Eure-et-Loir department? Where did you read the account of four vans being burgled? Was it a reliable source? We often use this aire as our first stop from Calais as we journey south. Cattwg :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long live variety, wit and hunmour which sadly seem to belong in a bygone era of Chatterbox? Hi Tracker Lady: I have a slight problem with gas, although it doesn’t bother me too much. Whenever I fart, it’s always silent and it never smells. And, to tell you the truth, I’ve farted at least 10 times since I have been here in your clinic. I am sure, you didn’t notice it because there is no smell or sound. Doctor: I understand. I will give you some pills. Take one pill a day & come back to see me in 4 days. After 4 days, the lady comes back and complains to the doctor. Lady: Doctor, I don’t know what on earth you gave me, but now it stinks terribly whenever I fart. Doctor: Great! Now that we have cleared up your nose, let’s work on your hearing. Makes a change from my usual internet searches relating to topics on here although I have to admit it is not much of an improvement;-) Veronica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
