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???

there's a new URL feature you know! You can make hyperlinks of anything! Look!

I reckon the "merchandise" never burnt down at all. Dringo sneaked up on this hardworking "neal" while he worked, smacked him upside the head with his lighter and stole all the boxes before setting the place alight and running off cackling into the night.

Dringo put 25 firefighters lives at risk. Muah.
Anyway, tell the truth you'll be fine...


That is if you believe all those lying TV programmes...

Ahaha, I bet he didn't even know the guy, just crept up on the barn, set light to it, and ran off over the fields. Then posted this tenuous story on a website to give him an alibi.

"5 fire engines later and the fire was eventually doused. The entire barn burnt to the ground. My friend wasn't in any real trouble, but whether he has a job or not eludes me as I haven't seen him since.

You see I wasn't supposed to be with him during that incident, he was supposed to work alone. And so when Mike realised his boss was coming I had to leave. And I made it across 10 miles worth of fields before I got home."

felony! Better place an order for those dentures now, D-Ring.

Exactly. It could all be part of some computer program, designed to keep humans occupied in teeny red pods while robo-Dringo feeds off your life energy..

Why did you quote yourself? WHY?!?

But really. Why would he lie on an internet forum...? It's not as if the police would check his internet activity just incase he admitted his guilt on an internet is it...? That's hardly part of a normal enquiry. And even if he did say on some forum he burnt down a barn it wouldn't be evidence. I could say I assassinated JFK on the internet.

So assuming the barn burnt down, assuming he was there, and assuming he is being charged with arson, why bother lying about what happened...? To get sympathy for being wrongly sent to jail? Don't think he'd be too worried whether we were posting sympathetic posts on SR if he was banged up in a cell do you?


On the other hand, this could all be a fantasy Dringo imagined to placate the pixies in his mind...
