Some may remember a tale I told about a barn.
This barn, after a bit of idiocy from my close friend neal. Got burnt to the ground. In brief, my friend was working in a barn. Stacking a selection of broken chip and pin machines. It was a cold day in January and so he decided to start a fire to keep warm. Using my lighter my friend recklessly started a fire on a stack of boxes and then later, upon request, in a bin, away from danger. As the situation wore on my friend moved the bin nearer to him, which I questioned, the fire flicked from the metal bin and hit a stack of boxes. To cut a long story short, the barn burnt to the ground.
1 month later he is arrested, he tells his arresting officer that it was I that started the fire. So I was arrested. I told the truth, as stated above. 4 months down the line we are both charged with Arson.
I appear in court next week.
I am, as some will known, a Cambridge university student, with a small desire to be a teacher. This offense could see my dreams dashed and my prospects ruined. I have no idea what the minimum sentence is (be it imprisonment or community service), nor do I know EXACTLY what I did wrong.
At the moment my "close friend" still insists it was I that was responsible for the fire.
Help???

What the hell were you doing in the barn in the first place? If you wanted to get warm then you should have just gone home. Probably will be something the prosecution focus strongly on.

Says the guy charged with arson.
If you do get found guilty, and you *were* with him and the barn *did* burn costing almost £100k damage, you'll probably just get fined and a suspended sentence with a "very silly" lecture from the judge.
Or, if the magistrate has had a bad day and recently lost his family in a barn-fire, you'll be thrown into prison with a large man called Mary, who will open you up like a christmas present.

Nah, you couldn't use this or the original post on the fire because Dringo changed the story in places.
They don't have GameCubes in prison :(

I'd love it if we all got called to appear in Dringo's case for posting in here which somehow affected the evidence.
I'd stab everyone in the back for sweet freedom, "neal" style.

Oh dear Dringo, wait till the jury see all those Nintendo essays you wrote. Oh well, nice knowing you.
Let's all go, it will be a fun day out for all. Except Dringo.
I don't live far from Cambridge.. can I come watch?
I think once you get into the witness stand, you should point at your friend and scream "THAT'S THE ONE! HE'S THE ONE WOT DONE IT GUV!!!!" before having to be restrained by the guards for lunging at your friend.
It's your only choice I'm afraid.

I hope you kick the sh*t out of him for being a turncoat assjack. If you go down for GBH at leas**t it's worth it.
Your mate is a slimly loser trying to shift the blame. It's bes**t you don't associate with donkeypunchers like that.
