Red hot chilli peppers floor Bristol shoplifter

A Bristol shoplifter got a shock lesson in the awesome power of the Scotch Bonnet after ill-advisedly deciding to scoff a handful of the napalm peppers he'd swiped from a store, before attempting to leg it from the scene. Marcus Banwell, 39, barely got outside Singh Stores in the St Paul's district of the city, because "within …

I hope the police will be considerate and pop a bog roll in the fridge for when he'll need it....

Jolokia used to be the hottest handset, bhut now they are W8íng for their luck to improve.......

Post a video of yourself eating a scotch bonnet on youtube please cornz1. I can't wait to see how totally impervious to it a chilli pro like yourself is.

[Anonymous Coward]

Re: Pah...

My plant has only just produced flowers due to the poor summer, as has my dorset naga...There are plenty of videos of fools like me eating stupidly hot chillis, face is different, discomfort is the same....But scotch bonnets are mild by modern standards......However, watch my YT channel (cornz38)

Just wondering .....

"... who was found to be carrying another four peppers, "crack cocaine and a small amount of heroin", plus a clarinet he'd pinched from another shop.

Is is wrong of me to have burst out laughing when I read that?

[Lester Haines]

Re: Just wondering .....

No. The clarinet is a lovely touch.

[JDX]

Re: Just wondering .....

I wondered which shop he stole the cocaine and heroin from.

Unit Conversion question

"which in 2010 unleashed a deadly pepper cultivar rating an awesome 1,176,182 Scoville units."

What is that in Lohan Engine's Worth Data , or LEWDs?

[Arachnoid]

They should have sentenced him to eat nothing but chilli peppers throughout his incarceration

[Kubla Cant]

Eh?

The stolen clarinet was presumably stolen for funds to buy more crack and heroin. But why shoplift chillis?

I don't recollect dodgy geezers in pub car parks saying "Wanna buy some chillis?".

[Alister]

Re: Eh?

You obviously don't frequent the right pubs...

Full marks for planning, though..

I think this probably the most brutal way known to man to prevent prison rape :)

[Player_16]

Yeah... because...

...after he receives his 'back-door-entry', the bloke giving it will think twice!

Re: Full marks for planning, though..

I dunno. If it were me I'd offer the mouth and bite hard.

Re: Full marks for planning, though..

I should have added... "and bugger the consequences"...

[Field Marshal Von Krakenfart]

Re: Full marks for planning, though..

Funny you should mention that....

Some years ago a company in the US Global Source Advantage (way back archive) created an anti-fouling paint for boats that used "high quality Habanero extract" as the active ingredient in the paint.

I believe it was marketed for a while in 2004 under the product name Hot Bottom Anti-fouling paint

Maybe the Bristol shoplifter had just seen the New Mickysoft Logo and needed something to counteract it's blandness.

Paris, another hot bottom.

Re: Full marks for planning, though..

point back to the earlier post by some poor person claiming 'bugger that was hot' .... sorry

You might have your sums wrong

> six weeks' jail for the possession and theft raps, and eight weeks for the breach of licence

This is UK sentencing so being sentenced to six weeks + eight weeks = eight weeks which means he will serve four weeks. So in the UK justice system 6 + 8 = 4.

[Fred Flintstone]

Re: You might have your sums wrong

" So in the UK justice system 6 + 8 = 4"

This suggests the UK Justice system was built by former RBS IT staff :)

Re: You might have your sums wrong

Fixed it for you....

This suggests the UK Justice system was built by off-shored current RBS IT staff :)

Silly boy

He should have dropped the chilli and then slipped on it for maximum claim potential?

[s. pam]

I rectum

He really felt the heat for the crime the next AM!

I'll get me coat….

[b166er]

If only he'd known that the chilli was in fact doing him no harm whatsoever, he could have enjoyed a bracing legal high for a change, saving his Class A's for later..

Perhaps stealing musical instruments gives him the horn too?

Re: worlds hottest chilli currently for sale in oz

If you watch Man V Food, they often use pure Capsaicin (the stuff which makes chilli hot) which is rated at 16,000,000. I just don't get why anyone would want to do that.

Clarinet

Because he wanted to start a wind section of the orchestra

[Michael H.F. Wilkinson]

You can't fence that merchandise, it's too hot!

Sorry, couldn't resist. Flames, well, obvious, init?

I will stick to my home-made sambal setan (devil sauce) made from Madame Jeanette peppers, some vegetable oil, a bit of salt and vinegar, and a dash of sesame oil.

Nice and fruity

[Silverburn]

Lol. What a f*ing muppet.

Maybe we should give all repeated convicted shoplifters the choice - jail, fine, or eat this scotch bonnet.

[Thunderbird 2]

Now that would be a cruel and unusual punishment.

I wonder how much waterboarding it takes to put out the fire from such a chilli overdose.

Full Bhutt Jolokia

A friend brought one of them round to my house. I eat hot food, I have eaten stuff in places like Thailand which even the locals consder spicey, I've had chilli highs, so I'm not exactly a chilli wimp.

I cut off a tiny tiny piece and tried it.

Painful is the best description, I consider it a sign of my manhood that I actually kept a straight face long enough to turn to my friend and say "Its not that bad try some".

Oh and even if you wash your hands several time thoroughly, be careful when you go for a pee.

Re: Full Bhutt Jolokia

"Oh and even if you wash your hands several time thoroughly, be careful when you go for a pee."

Wear gloves. No amount of washing is enough. Been there done that.

I'll bet.

This story made the local peppers down there..

Sounds like Karma in action there.

Certainly wouldn't be a Korma in Action... they are way too mild...

A General Warning

The active ingredients in these things are NOT water soluble.

This makes pepper spray something really nasty: your tears can't clear it from your eyes.
