Where did grub spend xmas?

[magpie in the 80's]

It WASN'T Santa but a would-be burglar who became trapped in a chimney in the desert town of Alice Springs.

The man was heard moaning by staff at the Gapview Hotel when they opened the premises about 8.30am (CST) today.

"He was like a grub in a cocoon when we found him,'' said Alice Springs fire station officer Mark James.

"When we finally got the prickwick (sic) out he was really wedged in there.''

The hapless thief, believed to have been trying to break into the hotel bar to get alcohol, had been stuck on the smoke shelf, with his knees jammed tightly into his chest.

"He was that wedged ... it was a life and death situation,'' Mr James said.

"He was pretty embarrassed and ashamed so he didn't say much when we got him out, he was obviously feeling sore and sorry for himself.

I think if you look at the 'What gives you the sh1ts' thread you'll find AG already has created an alibi

AG wouldnt be able to climb up onto the roof... if it was a story about someone getting stuck in a door to the pub - then I would think twice!!!
