Have you ever stolen anything?

My friend and I stole a pack of nudie playing cards from a joke shop back when I was about 12 or 13.

The rationale? We were too embarrassed to buy them in case the shop assistant made fun of us.

I still remember the Ace of Hearts to this day

So this supermarket lets customers weigh up their own raw meat, and the checkout operators are all too thick to figure out that a joint of meat should be more than a quid.

Uh huh

No but self service kiosks allow you to weigh fruit and vegetables yourself and the scale doesn't have a clue what item you're actually placing on it. It's relying on customers being honest and the usually small number of staff supervising the self service kiosks watching carefully both what the customers are doing and the final prices of the baskets the customers are ringing up. Which is often difficult for them when running about approving alcohol purchases or helping people out with that "unexpected item in the bagging area" stuff.

Not sure what motivation you think I have to lie here and I'm surprised you havn't heard of this before, it's been mentioned in a few other threads Im sure.

I used to have a huge crush on Gwyneth Paltrow around 1996/97. She would have been an 'IT' girl back then. Just cool and to this hormone addled teen the sexiest thing I'd ever seen.

This would have been before I accessed the internet so pictures would have been few and far between.
Past issues of Empire magazine featuring photo's of the lovely Gwyneth were etched in my mind and stashed away neatly.

We had our 'leath lá' from School on the Wednesday's so this meant a trip to Dunnes in Douglas Court, Cork for the shopping. Our Aunt would collect my mother and I would usually go along. While they were shopping, I passed the time browsing the magazines in the Read & Write. I was flicking through the latest issue of Total Film and there she was in a promo shot from 'Great Expectations' which was being filmed at the time. It was on the top right hand page and was the same picture as on the left below.



My jaw hit the floor.

I just had to have it. Now the obvious thing to do would be to actually buy it but I didn't have enough cash on me. I could have asked for the money to buy it but I didn't want to take the risk of getting a No. Logic was lost on raging hormones. In my lust driven desire I decided, with adrenaline pumping, to very slowly, deliberately and quietly rip the picture from the magazine. This delicate operation took me a few minutes and it was deliberately folded so as not to crease Paltrow.

So yeah, I once stole a picture of Gwyneth Paltrow from a Total Film magazine in a Newsagents.

Its only a mortal sin if you went home and wanked over it.
