Am I being paranoid ?

Strange question

Last Wednesday afternoon I called into a local pub that I haven't been in for about 8 years to ask them if they had Sky Sports for the England match and had a short chat with the landlord about this and if any other local pubs had Sky.
I see today on a local news website that the landlord was tied up and robbed in the pub this morning by 2 people, one of which is described as 5'8" and stocky - which basically describes me ! I mentioned this to my mate tonight and said "I hope he doesn't put 2 and 2 together and make 5" and my mate reckons it might be worth phoning the police to mention this. This got me worrying about it, which is stupid as it happened at 8am this morning and I was posting on here at 11 minutes past

What would you do ?

How do we know it was you posting? It might have been an accomplice, alerted to your need for an alibi by mobile phone...

Nothing. If he names you, then you tell them where you were.

How did you know the robbery happened at exactly 0800

Just admit it now and they'll go easier on the sentencing

I read about it here

JohnG · 22-10-2007, 10:36 PM

So, who wants to buy some cheap fags then ?

Only joking !

Describes me as well .... damn ...

erm we were both at yours watching a dvd ... yeah thats right, a dvd. !

.... just had a thought - I wonder if you could make a decent cash amount from setting up an alibi service for the forums

JohnG · 23-10-2007, 7:19 AM

Now there's a good idea

I would avoid going to the police in case they interrogate a confession out of you. Although you might want to watch crime watch this month incase you need to go on the lam.

guilty, guilty!

how could you have the audacity to use your pda, while robbing the place, to post on the forum.

In all honesty dont go to the police, you here about them making people into pasties!

(delib typo)

and with the way the court system is just now, you will probably get 45 years hard labour! unless you actually kill someone where it is significantly reduced to about 2!

Did it take much planning or was it spur of the moment!

ps i phoned Mansfield CID on 01623 420999 and it looks like your in the clear,

they are looking for someone with guile, charm and wit. unless you no different! lol

don't worry, with that description and the track record of our law enforcement they will arrest a 6' 2" woman of the ethnic minority within the next two years

Well the police have got to be seen to do something... Maybe she's the getaway driver?

As a side note I got one of the probationers to phone a number yesterday and ask to speak to DC Ten. The number was Heathrow CID.... Still makes me chuckle....

is it not just great, you have come on here to get a bit of re-assurance.

and we have convicted and sentenced you. still feel paranoid!

JohnG · 23-10-2007, 9:24 AM

I might as well give myself up now, it's a fair cop, you've got me bang to rights constable, I'll come quietly

GaryB · 23-10-2007, 9:43 AM

Look on the bright side - it's only robbery, possibly armed and with violence. With the prisons full up, you'll probably get an hour of Community Service or similar.

only if the landlord was at least 97 years old

I would like to start a campain fund for our beloved john to prove his innocence , if we all chip in 1p a week I reckon we can start the ball rolling within 5 years to appoint a decent solicitor and get him out of prison(no doubt he will be incarcerated soon as he looks guilty as hell)
