just doing my job sir

The Falun Gong Show (Noodle Vague), Friday, 31 October 2014 10:54 (nine years ago) link

This is Mohammed Azam Yaqoob aka "Mr Sparkles" (the name of his modest car wash business in Dewsbury) and a convicted heroin trafficker. I know an Asian guy who grew up with Mohammed and described him as "thick as fuck" and a "disgrace to his great family". I like the guy and tbf it takes some intelligence to become a major drug trafficker and I always root for the maligned odd one out of a successful family. Of his siblings; one brother is an eminent surgeon at St James hospital, the other brother is the governor of Wakefield prison, one sister runs a successful chain of dentists and the other is a barrister.

that front garden should be finished by the time he comes out

The Falun Gong Show (Noodle Vague), Friday, 31 October 2014 20:52 (nine years ago) link

He never got planning permission and it is in more on the Ukip side of the Mirfield/Ravensthorpe borderlands so it is a focal point for local outrage and for years it has been rumoured there will be a demolition order. When he gets out if it doesn't get pulled down he will struggle to sell it because of it's frequent local rag ubiquity.

xelab that is the best of all of your posts

Yaqoob, of North Road, Ravensthorpe, was jailed for nine years and four months after pleading guilty to conspiracy to supply class A drugs at an earlier hearing.

Ten years ago, he was at the centre of a planning row over a £1m house in Huddersfield Road, Mirfield, allegedly built without planning permission.

Kirklees Council ordered it to be pulled down but Yaqoob overturned the decision on appeal.

just a mensch in so many categories....opportunistic drug trafficker, exurban mansion builder, scorner of good taste, successful planning appeal litigant, confiscation order refusenik

i was reading that Express and Star bit last week, i agree about hilarious roguery but also some of these guys have probly had people seriously fucked up when necessary so swings and roundabouts

these people look like the sort of speculative daytrippers who end up getting abducted and threatened by actual gangsters, most serious organized criminals realizing that the latter is less risky than trying to import large quantities of class a themselves

The actual reason I revived this, kebab shop display counter using decorative green bell peppers in visibly advanced state of dehydration (wrinkled to fuck) tell me bros is it Real England?

individual meta dater (wins), Sunday, 9 November 2014 20:27 (nine years ago) link

Genuine question, I'm pretty sure I do this thread wrong and the vague sense that I'm being arctic kaiser chief kebab shop amirite niggles at me

individual meta dater (wins), Sunday, 9 November 2014 20:28 (nine years ago) link

As does the less vague sense that Lj advocacy is a poisoned chalice but we minor posters take what we can

individual meta dater (wins), Sunday, 9 November 2014 20:29 (nine years ago) link

insofar as Real England is both a pretence and an inadvertent sincerity, yes it quite possibly is, although elements of Real Turkey and Real Kebab impinge I'm sure

my advocacy is to be cherished tbqfh

when I used to prepare display counters I always used decent fruit but you had a little more leeway with sprigs of coriander, which you could use a little longer just for display. seems dubious that very half arsed attempts at freshness are distinctly english imo

Story lets itself down with no photos of joyless muddy fields and pound shop father christmas gear, unfortunately. Lol @ Father Christmas being great showbiz mates with Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen tho.

otm, I was wanting the usual pics (depressed roebuck in a pen marked 'rudolph'), but happy with "the elf who is meant to be Simon Cowell is completely pointless"

ahh here we go: Has anyone been to the Lapland Theme Park?

TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Monday, 24 November 2014 11:42 (nine years ago) link

last post from that thread:

26 October 2011

Two brothers jailed for misleading customers at a Lapland-themed park have had their convictions quashed after it emerged a juror had been texting during the trial.

Victor Mears, 67, and Henry Mears, 60, both of Brighton, ran the Lapland New Forest attraction in 2008.

Three Court of Appeal judges ruled their convictions under Trading Standards legislation were unsafe.

^ a hoogstraten-esque escape from doing time - wondering if these two blundering chancers were erstwhile associates?

john wahey (NickB), Monday, 24 November 2014 11:46 (nine years ago) link

hell yes, threatening the prosecution

Henry Mears, of Coombe Road, Brighton, is alleged to have made comments taken as threats of violence to barrister Gary Lucie during his original trial.

He is also accused of making a further comment outside the court about punching the barrister in the face.

Mears, 60, appearing at Bristol Crown Court, denies contempt of court.

Giving evidence, Mr Lucie said Mears told him that "mechanisms were in place to hold those responsible" for bringing the Lapland trial to court.

Ukip side of the Mirfield/Ravensthorpe

do you mean the dewsbury side rather than the huddersfield side?

anvil, Tuesday, 25 November 2014 18:47 (nine years ago) link

I am referring to Mirfield which is on the Huddersfield side and is mostly white apart from the London Park estate. About a decade ago I did a mutual exchange to a house in Mirfield with an Asian bloke who couldn't realistically move his family into Mirfield so they were cramped into his brothers' house until he could find an exchangee.

Praise be for the mutual exchange system because it was a dreadful area with loathsome neighbours and we exchanged the fuck back where we came from after a year. I suppose if I am honest it was my up my own arse white flight period, but what a mistake it proved to be. Every time I see Patrick Stewart on tv I always think to myself "what an archetypal Mirfield cunt".
