This is the best glurge I’ve gotten since Sept 11.
Please read the whole of this message - it’s not one of the many urban myths going round at the moment!!
This was something I felt I ought to share.
Yesterday I was on the Underground travelling on the Northern line. A man of Arabic-appearance got off the train and I noticed that he had left his bag behind. I grabbed the bag and ran after him, caught up with him at the top of the escalator and handed him back his bag.
He was extremely grateful to me and reached into his bag which appeared to contain large bundles of banknotes. He offered me a reward, but I refused.
So he looked round, made sure nobody was looking and whispered to me:
“I can never repay your kindness, sir, but I will try to with a word of advice for you. Stay away from Aberdeen Steak Houses.”
I was terrified. “Is there going to be an attack?” I whispered.
“No, sir” he whispered back “I went there yesterday evening - the food was shit and the dessert selection extremely limited.”

By coincidence, five minutes after I read this, my girlfriend came home and told me a story she had heard from one of her co-workers: he was riding the (Tokyo) subway to work and helped out an Arab-looking guy who was lost and… well, you know the rest of the story.
Not only was this sorry-ass loser spreading glurge, he was trying to claim it had actually happened to him! After she read this thread, my GF said “so… do you think Takeda-kun was lying?” To which I answered “I think Takeda-kun was full of shit.”
It warms the heart to see someone take their first steps on the road to skepticism.
Outside of some formatting and the replacement of one word with crap (not sure if that is limited to the Pit), here it is:
I don’t know who Dave is, but I love his response to the following nonsense!
