    Nice work, P. The only thing that I'm upset about is that you didn't get me to go along in case it all went pear shaped. :D

    HammerHead may be twice my size but (I have no comeback from that).

    Got my stolen phone back!!!

    So my phone went missing out of my pocket on Saturday night at the Grand Social. Phone itself wasn't sold in Ireland, only on the orange network in the UK so fairly rare. Sunday afternoon I spot the same phone up on adverts.ie, no photos of it, the guy doesn't know if its unlocked or not, no charger. Suspicious.

    So I make him a lowball offer for the phone like I'm trying to bargain him down and arrange a meeting. My good friend HammerHeadGym, legend that he is, waits ten feet away pretending not to know me but ready to step in if it all goes a bit pear shaped.

    A large Arab looking gent approaches me and identifies himself as the seller. As soon as I see the phone I know its mine, same cracked case over the camera, the guy is pretty big so I give my mate the nod to come over and stand behind him and I confront him about it being my stolen phone. The guy stammers some excuse about just buying it in the club for €20 on the night, he works there, how could he have known it was stolen etc. Me and Hammerhead walk away like gunslingers into the sunset with the recovered phone :)

    Why didnt you punch him in the face and say something cool like they'd have done in the movies ?

    As true as this story is, you might aswell had Osama as the main character.

    When I said Arab I simply meant that to me (and I could well be way off) he looked like to be from Western Asia/North Africa. I wasn't referring to any specific country/religion/stereotype.
