The "LUCKY AND BRIAN BEAR" case was adjourned today for the weekend. The defence team of Steve and Nige argued for bail for the pair on the grounds the two had no pevious convictions and were certainly no danger to anyone. The prosecution George and Rob[BOO] argued that the severity of the charge warranted a custodial sentence and that these two viscious, nasty, unpleasant, dangerous characters were likely to attempt escape if given their freedom. Round one has gone to the bad guys, and our two lovestruck bears will spend the weekend "BANGED UP" in a spare locker with only Georges leftover porridge to cheer them up. More Monday.

Yours Aye, The Crew.
