Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted March 18, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted March 18, 2021 I love happening across stuff like this during a rabbit hole dive. There's an article about nicking petrol, for instance. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasoline_theft Quote Common decoys include pretending to press the wrong buttons after the credit card are swiped or having multiple people get gas at the same time, with one paying for another person and the other running off with both cars. Cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members BomberPat Posted March 19, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted March 19, 2021 This is my favourite: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fictional_badgers  Which, if that's too specific, directs you to also check out:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fictional_musteloids  It used to include the badgers Lucy attempts to protect in Yes, Minister, but they've been sadly removed. Apparently off-screen fictional badgers don't fit their exacting standards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Factotum Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 I had forgotten about Dirk. I'm actually going to company drinks in the summer hopefully so it will be interesting to see if he's out of hibernation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the first one that came to mind, instantly. Followed by 'oh there must've been a badger in wind in the willows, farthing wood, Beatrix Potter and that posh nob Rupert the Bear' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted March 19, 2021 Moderators Share Posted March 19, 2021 Redwall was the first thing that came to mind for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Danger Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 There was a badger in Farthing Woods, called Badger funnily enough. He carried the mole around on his back but went senile and got a bit nasty with it in the second series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuck that show, Mrs hedgehog getting caught on the road and Mr hedgehog refusing to go on without her turns back saying "Whatever you do don't curl up" to be met by a fucking truck.......

I used to love watching it as a kid, even used to get the magazine, but I don’t think I could cope with it now. Brutal stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did, but as I've now learnt Bodger is dead I wish I hadn't. Off Topic but I can't make mash potatoes without singing "mashed potato, mashed potato, mashed potaaaaaato" like Badger as I mash away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted March 20, 2021 Author Paid Members Share Posted March 20, 2021 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goal_celebration Quote The scorer exhibiting some kind of dancing after the goal, usually joined in by teammates. The first player to gain worldwide fame for this was probably Cameroon veteran Roger Milla at the 1990 FIFA World Cup, who celebrated all four of his goals by dancing around the corner flag.[23] Peter Crouch garnered attention for his robot dances after scoring goals for England.[28] Five South Africa (Bafana Bafana) players performed a memorable Macarena-style dance after scoring the opening goal at the 2010 World Cup.[29] Antoine Griezmann's 'Hotline Bling' goal celebration dance features in a 2016 Puma commercial.[30]  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
