Do you know what’d be awesome?
If you were a bank worker and you got wind that you were going to be subjected to one of those ubiquitous ‘Tiger kidnappings’, and using your advance warning you went and stayed in a hotel that night and filled your house with man-eating Bengals.
Wouldn’t be long before the criminals lobbied to have the name changed to ‘Puppy kidnappings’. Which by their very nature would be much more playful affairs.

when this happened first, I wondered why banks were keeping tigers in their vaults. Surely an alarm would be more efficient?

In the US, kidnapping is second only to murder in terms of legal seriousness- if there was a mandatory, non-negotiable, non-paroleable, minimum, 20 year sentence imposed on celtic tiger raiders, to be served BEFORE whatever they’re sentenced to for the actual robbery, I’m pretty sure there’d be a sudden decrease in that particular practice. Of course that would take a credible competent administration, so I’m not holding my breath.

Quite.
Very quiet isn’t it? Is everyone nervous ahead of France’s 2-0 win tonight?

imagine you kidnapped someone’s puppy, kept it for all the awesome puppy months and then gave it back.

haha.
Although the puppy months involve a lot of cleaning up and pooing and chewing stuff and maybe when you got it back it had matured into a nice dog. Like if Cesar Millan kidnapped your dog.
I think we all share that worry, Fill. Fingers crossed.

Thierry Henry ( terry henry ) is very puppyish. Not tigerish like our Damo.
Oh God, early goal, anyone, anyone ?

One bunch of criminals giving money to the banks, another taking it away. What’s the problem?
November 18th, 2009 at 6:05 pm
If the banks don’t cap the wages at 500,000 yo-yo’s then i swear i’ll kill this puppy.

You can go to FIFA.com and leave feedback under the ‘contact us’ link at the bottom of the screen.
I (in nice political language) asked them what sanctions they would impose on the filthbag Henri.

Once again, would all be so different if Ireland had a nuke. Paris smoking emebers, national pride restored.
November 19th, 2009 at 5:38 am
THAT’S RIGHT LADS – AS LONG AS YOU HAVE YOUR FOOTBALL AND YOUR PINTS ALL IS WELL WITH YOUR TINY EMERALD-GREEN WORLD…
I’M BEGINNING TO THINK THE BANKS AND THE GOVERNMENT ACTUALLY ARE IN THE RIGHT OF THINGS, WHO IN GOD’S NAME WOULD TRUST THE PLAIN PEOPLE OF IRELAND WITH RUNNING ITS AFFAIRS…

“predicting silence from the Arsenal fans out there….’
What’s it got to do with Arsenal, he was playing for France and is at Barcelona? Why drag his ex club into it?

Yeah, but there’d be an increase in just killing the people once you were finished robbing the bank. Murder in Ireland only gets you 20 years, so if murder = kidnapping, there’s a fair few fucked up idiots who’ll take the “easy” way out and kill the captive instead of running the risk of them identifying them later.
