crims in the family?

check here

we've kept our noses clean, though we were witnesses once in 1876.

this looks really interesting. i like sites like this.

i'm rather intrigued with true crime. it started with in cold blood, the executioner's song, and helter skelter. with a bit of ann rule more recently.

NOTE TO SELF: Don't go into the basement with 006, ever.

Campbell? Nahhhhh, no history there, lovely bunch, and you'll never find a man who'll say otherwis (which may or may not be cos we ripped his tongue out).

i couldn't tell you about my family. the english ancestors were already in america by the 1670s.

my grandfather got kicked out of amherst for bootlegging during the depression, though. does that count? i like to think of him as joe kennedy on a smaller scale.

Not likely.

I'm the first person in my family to have the second name INOIL.

It was given to me by the witness protection people after I turned Queen's on the rest of the crew.

I hated doing it, but I they'd have chucked the key away if I'd gone down for all them things I did.

I'm not aware of any criminality in my family, anyway.

I found one....a servant, who's bosses were cheese mongers in the early 1800's got done for embezzlement, he re-offended 22 years years later. so a career criminal perhaps.....

But by the 1900's my ancestors had swapped sides and several were in the police force.

Got caught again 22 years later, you mean.

He was always a wrong'un

Seems my folk were clean, but kept having stuff stolen from them like linen in 1783; boots and stckings in 1799; chickens in 1834..etc. Who steals linen and stockings anyways? More importantly, who takes someone to court for stealing thier linen and stockings?

most likely though evading getting caught for 22 years isn't bad going for an embezzling servant cheese monkey.

what this country needs is more cheese mongers. i love cheese, me.

Ooh and me.

My sister bought me some cheddar with horseraddish. I think she got it from Tebay service station. It was lovely. I wanted to write to the cheesemongs to tell them but I chucked the wrapper away.

Do I put on £40?

If she bought it at Tebay Services, she probably paid £40 for it!
