€50 reward to catch piss bandit

    No the Cork Independent isn't taking the piss - all 237 bottles of it that were mysteriously dumped in Glanmire - they are actually offering a reward to readers with the bandit's identity.
    As we all know, operating a toilet, with the complexity of pulling down the seat, flushing and pulling up the seat, can be quite a nuisance.
    However, that doesn't excuse one Corkman from filling up 237 bottles of urine (in Coke bottles, surely the final answer to the 'no publicity is bad publicity' argument) and leaving them in Glanmire ditches.
    The mystery (or 'piddle riddle' as the Cork Indo playfully described it) deepened later in the week after an initial find of 62 bottles transformed overnight when an additional 175 were found. Each were Coca-Cola, each were 500ml bottles and each had an unmistakable golden hue.
    As you can imagine, no-one is taking the piss, so it remains in the ditches, but locals are baffled by the greyhound-like urination habits of the unknown 'whizz kid'.
    Hoping to find readers with a tinkling of a notion as to who is responsible, the newspaper have gone potty and offered a massive €50 to "Members of the public with proof of the identity of the person or persons discarding the bottles".
    Do you feel like being a hero? Is your neighbour lacking basic toilet facilities? Be sure to get in touch with the paper ASAP. And to the person responsible, all we can say is that if someone knows your identity, 'urine trouble'.

    for all the blasters here.

    They went missing from under my bed and I was too ashamed to call the cops.

    Now I have to start all over again :(

    I would hazard a guess that the culprit is someone who buys a LOT of Coke.

    It was a crane operator, stuck up in the air and nowhere to piss, somewhere there is a load of carrier bags full of sh*t

    Some of them look like full bottles of Coke. Either that or his urine is black.

    I'll catch him for 50 and kill him for 100.

    Well whoever is responsible he must have some aim and masterful bladder control. Having personally been in the unfortunate position to have to piss in a 1.5lt coke bottle and make an almighty mess I doff my cap to this guy (or *uugggh* gal).

    Who has been taking the piss? Who can solve the Piddle Riddle? Urine the money if you can!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,062 ✭✭✭number10a


    I've seen the same thing along one road in Midleton quite a lot lately, but in wine bottles. Though it's definitely nowhere near 237 bottles!! (Btw, who had to count them?) More like five.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,368 ✭✭✭Daroxtar


    Its probably gone off Coke. It starts to lose its colour, turning from black to brown and then yellow. I had a bottle of coke in the back seat of an old car that was parked up for about 6 months and when i was bringing the car to the scrap yard I spotted the bottle. Unopened and a horrible dirty yellow colour. The sunlight shining in the car window probably had some effect on the colour too. Unless someone has actually tested the stuff to be sure its piss then I would be virtually sure its just Coca Cola gone beyond its sell by date. And that would explain the amount of bottles too, possibly some unscrupulous shop or stall operator that found an old batch in their store and dumped them in a ditch
