Greedy Or Stupid ?

Probably both

Wasn't sure which section to put this thread because it's about footballers but also general news. These players are on thousands a week, especially Johnson. Pure greed or stupid, you decide

Portsmouth's Glenn Johnson, was given an on-the-spot fine for stealing bathroom fittings at a B&Q store in Dartford, Kent, on Wednesday.

The England defender, who is on loan from Chelsea, and his friend Millwall striker Ben May were spotted placing a toilet seat into a box with a cheaper price tag before they reached the checkout by a security guard.

The pair also avoided paying for a set of taps by concealing them underneath a sink at the checkout before they were both arrested as they tried to leave the store.

A Kent Police spokesman said: "Kent Police arrested two 22-year-old men on Wednesday on suspicion of theft in Dartford.

"Both men have been issued with £80 fixed penalty notices."

Stupidity. When you earn that much you don't need to steal.

Richard Madely was found not guilty, unlike Winona Ryder.

Hello?

Sense of humour failure?

It was you that called me Judy.

I exchanged Miss Finnigan for Mr Punch's Missus...it's sort of a joke, but whoooosh, must have gone right over your head.

That's the way to do it!

(Again a joke refering to Punch and Judy...if you don't get it.)

I didn't know you'd be banned ever.

I certainly never asked, or thought you should be banned.

Every village needs an idiot.
