Stolen Tortoises - Bridgwater Area *"*"*PLEASE READ!!*"*"*"
.Dear All
I have this evening been contacted by a devastated couple who have had all
twelve of their tortoises stolen overnight from the Bridgwater area in Somerset.
The missing tortoises are as follows:
2 x young adult ibera males
2 x young adult marginated males
2 x adult female iberas
1 x small ibera male
3 x leopards
1 x elderly hermanns female
1 x small hermanns male
If anyone hears of any tortoises being offered for sale or appearing in neighbour's gardens etc please either contact myself or John Hayward of the National Theft Register.
It would be fantastic if we could get at least some of these precious tortoises returned to their owners.

sorted byWhen they get there Mick unpacks the food and beer. 'Ok Roy give me the bottle opener' 'I didn't bring it' says Roy. 'I thought you packed it'. Mick gets worried, He turns to Andy, 'Did you bring the bottle opener?'.
Naturally Andy didn't bring it. So they're stuck ten miles from home without a bottle opener.
Mick and Andy beg Roy to go back for it. But he refuses as he says they will eat all the sandwiches.
After two hours, and after they have sworn on their tortoise lives that they will not eat the sandwiches, he finally agrees.
So Roy sets off down the road at a steady pace. 20 days pass and he still isn't back and Mick and Andy are starving, but a promise is a promise.
Another 5 days and he still isn't back, but a promise is a promise. Finally they can't take it any longer so they take out a sandwich each, and just as they are about to eat it, Roy pops up from behind a rock and shouts.'
I KNEW IT! ...... I'M NOT FLIPPING GOING.'
I for one am glad Floravada has taken up the mantel, I just wish it could have been under better circumstances.
PS: It's actually the morning not the evening, but I'm not having a go, its probably due to tortoise related stress, and I challenge anyone to deal with such events any better than Floravada has.

Wondering what she'd do for a 2ltr bottle....
here's a recent pic of OP
You say brainless, but you're in the minority. 3 posts out of 32 have whinged on about people taking the ****. I'd suggest it might be you who's brainless. Stupid thread, stupidly random local issue, nothing much to do with HUKD.
Take your own 90's insult and GET A LIFE.
Brainless posts? haha. I think you will find they are humourous reactions to a quite silly thread. Im pretty sure that you wont find any eye witnesses to this 'crime' on here.
And comments like "I hope you get them back" and "Good luck finding your turtles" are not going to bring the pointless pets back.
If your that bothered why don't you and floravada SHELL out on some posters and a newspaper ad.
but you did feed the trolls? #fail
Are you serious? The problem is you're focusing on the things in life that don't really matter. When I was a kid I had hopes and dreams. We all did. But over time, the daily grind gets in the way and you miss the things that really matter, even though they are right in front of you, staring you in the face. I think the next time you should ask yourself "Am I on the right track here?". I don't mean to be rude but people like you I really pity. So maybe you could use the few brain cells you have and take advantage of the knowledge I have given you now. Good luck.
I smell multi + modabee doubleteam!
PS: I'm much cleverer now. As long as I am ambiguous with my insults, I get away with them. For example in this case I was politely asking if the user was on prescription drugs.

Truly one of the funniest posts I've ever read on here. Seriously. You might be my new favourite plaything.
I'm laughing my internet face off.
I'm in for the rideX)
No not me, just pointing the anorexic panda in the right direction, I'm sharing the driving with sy:p
To be fair, I'd have just given her the can of soda to get out of my line of sight.
she looks more hungry than thirsty to me
WTF is going on between you and your gypos X) just read that mental thread!!!!!!!
Na, Vb1 just responding appropriately to the multi that is Skinny Panda
