Just got a call from the wife that her parents' house just got burgled while they were inside. Three guys with bats and hammers came in the front door. Luckily no one got hurt, they stole my wife's iphone and jewellery. What a shit week.

Cheers fellas.
Wife was in the kitchen, mother-in-law in her bed cos she's ill and father-in-law was out working. They came through the front door (unlocked), and grabbed everything they could. Wife still shaking cos she saw them eye-to-eye and was threatened thankfully from a large distance. Just glad everyone is OK, possessions can be replaced. Just annoyed I'm back in Scotland and can't help.

We were in too Alex - not a confrontation like your poor wife but they were looking in our bedroom from the window in the landing as they entered, our 9month old in his room etc.
Horrible, horrible violation. My other half never felt comfortable in the house after that and we eventually moved - mind you, a second break-in, this time thankfully during the day when we were all out of the house, was the final straw. My boy is still not 100% after it.
Really sorry to hear that. I hope everyone is OK, long term

Theft is up across the board, there just aren’t enough police to deal with it and more often than not they’re now coming mob handed and tooled up. It’s a terrible thing to happen and I think we’re walking into a crisis with the way this government have cut numbers.
I hope you’re all feeling better soon and can move on from it.

Have you noticed "itself" yet, as in "do the needful and revert* today itself"?
*"Revert" is another guarantee you're dealing with someone from a country that accepts open defecation.
I am always wary of shaking hands with them, I avoid it if possible. I also don’t think they’re racial outbursts so just carry on keeping us amused
I have a few colleagues who are from the same country but their English and culture is spot on, it’s always interesting having a conversation with them about these things. I tend to open with the line, can you educate me in what aspect of the culture X Y Z comes from and get told that we’re just working with rude, lazy, work shy idiots who take the piss.

We (most of us anyway) now live in a country where the shadow home secretary holds views such as this
@HackneyAbbott
Knocking people off bikes is potentially very dangerous. It shouldn't be legal for anyone. Police are not above the law

Personally, I think we need a teeny, weeny bit more of a deterrent at large when it comes to violent crime. Like Judge Dredd perhaps.

Cheers mate and everyone else for the support. Got married three weeks ago, we were just back from a short honeymoon.
On the train heading down to see them. I'm even more angry now having learnt that the fvckers dragged my wife and the mother in law into the living room and threatened them with hammers and knives to get to the jewellery. I was surprised that they got the jewellery, my father in law hides valuables very well but my wife understandably caved in. They got all the jewellery, almost half were brand new for my wife's sister's wedding in January. Thankfully they only took stuff, could have been a lot worse.

She’s a fucking liability and shouldn’t be where she is. She’s supporting the criminals with the statement and staring shit up about something that’s not an issue. The opposition is a joke, they can’t even offer anything credible to the Brexit debate so they pick on this level of shit instead.

That’s fucking awful, I hope they catch the fuckers before any physical harm is done.
