I hadn't even heard this piece of 'news' for myself as I went to pick up some reading material of my own in the early afternoon, but I was soon to be appraised of it. The female serving me in the shop had become agitated about the Yorkshire Ripper situation, asking every customer if they'd seen it, what they thought of it. Our conversation went more or less as follows:
Her: You seen this?
Me: Only what I've picked up from the things you've been saying. No, other than that.
Her: You think they should lerrim out?
Me: If he's done his time, he's done his time I suppose.
Her: But he'll kill more women!
Me: I'm not sure about that....
Her: They should ofungim!
Me: I don't know if I agree with state-sponsored murder.
Her: They shoulda killedim! Bring back hanging!
Me: If that's your opinion, that's your opinion.
Her: You think they should lerrim out? (her hand refusing to release my change)
Me: If he's served his sentence then I don't see why not.
My change was subsequently released, and I left the shop realising what I'd just done. If, at any point in the future, I am accused of a crime, it is inevitable that the above conversation will come back to haunt me:
BOMB MAN 'WORSHIPS RIPPER'
THE MAN found with an arsenal of bomb-making equipment in his home worships mass killer Peter Sutcliffe, it was revealed last night.
Police raided the home of Paul Nogomet, 30, and discovered bicarbonate of soda, petrol, wiring, Plasticene and mobile phones - used as detonators by terrorists.
And as cops in Barnsley, South Yorks, hauled him in for questioning, a neighbour told the Sun how Nogomet boasted of his admiration for twisted Sutcliffe, who butchered 13 women in a five-year killing spree.
Shopworker Ursula Smith said: "He would go on about how Sutcliffe had served his time, and he was glad they'd never hung him.
"I said to him that the man is a monster who should have been put to death, but you could tell in Paul's eyes that there was respect and empathy with Sutcliffe.
"I'd go as far as to say that Nogomet probably worships the Yorkshire Ripper - but I'm still staggered to hear they've found bomb-making material in his house."
Cops will examine any links with far-right groups and quiz Nogomet about any sympathies with paramilitary organisations.
The source added: "There was enough stuff in the garage, kitchen and living areas to make a bomb large enough to cause complete carnage.
"Mobiles are often used by terrorist cells to detonate bombs. It's quite a sophisticated approach - whoever knows how to trigger devices with a phone is obviously not a novice."
We revealed yesterday how evil Sutcliffe, 62, is lobbying the High Court for his release.

Terrorism
Police sources told The Sun that 'litres' of petrol were removed from Nogomet's garage, as well as 'significant' lengths of wiring, several mobile phones and a 'large quantity of Plasticene.' Officers can detain him for questioning for up to 30 days under the Prevention of Terrorism Act.Cops will examine any links with far-right groups and quiz Nogomet about any sympathies with paramilitary organisations.
