Shock Horror! Bailiffs!

Poor Psycho.  He’s very hard done by.  Last week, the bailiffs (who have been after him for months by the way) “stole” his two cars.  Of course as he lives in the town centre and works in the town centre, the possession of these twos cars is vital.  Especially for one as concerned for the environment as Psycho is.  Anyway, sarcasm aside, he claims the cars were stolen as the bailiffs failed to let him know that they were going to take them.  I could be wrong, as I have never had cause to make myself familiar with the laws regarding bailiffs and their rights and stuff, but I kind of assumed the letter threatening bailiffs were the only notice you’d get before the bailiffs turned up at your door?  Oh well, not according to Psycho.  I wonder if he reported the “theft” to the police.  Though he really should be counting himself lucky that it took them so long to resort to taking the cars.  I mean, he’s had long enough to hide them.

He plans to get them back though.  He asked The Ex to illegally sign some legal document thing claiming that he saw the bailiffs taking the cars.  I have no idea what purpose this would have served, but for once The Ex had the sense to refuse Psycho’s request.  The next phase of operation Get Cars Back involved Psycho telling The Ex that he wanted to transfer ownership of the cars to either The Ex or their other brother, Sailor Boy.  He planned to backdate the ownership to a time prior to the arrival of the bailiffs.  Not sure if that’ll be possible myself, but we shall see.

He continues to accumulate his parking fines though, but one of his equally bizarre friends claims to have got him off the latest one.  Apparently there’s some random law stating that all the lines for parking bays have to have a particular sized gap between them, and if these lines are not accurately spaced, the parking bay is invalid.  I assume he didn’t display a disk in a disk zone or something.  Of course, this gem means that they actually went and measured the gaps between these lines on the parking bays.  If you have nothing better to do with your time I suppose, than fight such petty little battles.

Of course, the thing that made me laugh the most was when The Ex informed me that Psycho wanted to take out a restraining order on the council.  I’m not entirely sure how that would work, if anyone would sanction such a thing.  Poor Psycho.  He just cracks me up. Bless him.  Though of course he believes he’s winning.  Apparently the council are so scared of him, they won’t let him meet the mayor of a nearby town.  It has absolutely nothing to do with them knowing he’s a bit of a liability, or the fact that he wasn’t allowed to run for council, and therefore is not on the council, or that he actually has no reason to be involved in the meeting in question as he isn’t a resident of the other town.  In fact, aside from an opportunity to fight our own council, he has no reason to be involved whatsoever.  But no, it’s because the council are scared of him.  Hmm.  Not entirely convinced of that one myself.

Though the cause is progressing.  The bailiffs were forced to return Psycho’s friends van, after they “stole” that.  Of course, as the van was required for the friend’s trade they were actually genuinely in error.  Though the fault was not entirely theirs, as it was just a plain white van.  Major victory for the cause though.  Shame it’s not applicable to Psycho’s two cars.  Especially as his shop is only about a five/ten minute walk from his flat.  Pity.
