Donate the 25 pounds to the Upbeats 

Now that is a good idea - no losers in that solution 

Shine will be the loser if he bumps into the fella he shared the cab with.

One angle to praise is that two people shared a cab, rather than there being two cabs.
Saving the planet as well as saving the fare.

Well kind of although the other bloke did pay for what would have been in effect 2 cabs lol

I thought I understood off the bat, but now you've explained it again, I'm confused.

The cab driver asked you to get out so he could turn around, you got out and run for your train?

Asked me to get out where we were as it was easier for him, saved fucking about right at the station I guess. 

You still need to explain the make up of the £25 (see above)

Both, well £10 of his and £15 me... this ain't no great train robbery 😆

Wait a minute. You were chipping in fifteen quid and he only gave you a tenner? No wonder you're trying to track him down, you're after that extra five quid aren't you? 

Confidence scam 101, make the other feel like they are the ones getting a good deal

i thought u ran for the train before the cab left

He nicked the bloke's fags too?

I'm waiting for a cabbie to come on here saying that he picked up 2 young 'erberts who did him over. First 1 said the 2nd one would pay & the 2nd one said he thought the 1st had paid as he gave him his last tenner. 2nd bloke then legged it never to be seen again
 
Now you know why black cabs dont venture south of the river  - keep being done over by 'erberts & cockerneys.

bertpalmer

was it Lyle ???

Get Coleen Rooney on the case

It's.......

This is comedy gold. 

Although image after all this, it turns out the tenner was a snide anyway

On the Adkins out thread they have been discussing John Sitton. Apparently he's now a cab driver. 

Might of been his fare? could be able to trace the other passenger?

@shine166 when he asked you to get out of the cab as he was turning round did he say something along the lines of:
  "You, you little c#nt, when I tell you to do something, do it. And if you come back at me, we'll have a fucking right sort-out in here. All right? Actually both of ya can pair up if you like, and you can fucking pick someone else to help you, and you can bring your fucking dinner. 'Cos by the time I've finished with you, you'll fucking need it."

any recollection?

What a thread!!!

@shine166, inadvertently or not, you've stitched the fella right up

Feel for Mrs Shine166.

Get home alright last night love?

So it was pissing down…

The bloke only has access to Charlton life through his mobile. 
Shine nicked it before he done a runner.

I’m starting to think Shine and elfsborg are the same person. 

hoof_it_up_to_benty

You'll be asking for the bloke's bank details next...

man_at_milletts

Well, @shine166 if you don't find this fella, let me know. I'm a personal friend of the King of Nigeria and I'm sure he can help.  Just need a few banks details etc.

Great thread.

Also, good on you @shine166 for trying to do a thoroughly decent thing. I hope this has taught you a lesson.

Right ....

Got to our station in torrential rain and the trains were scrapped.

Policeman tells to get a bus, I'm not from the area so have no idea where I'm going.

Find a bustop and wait.

Get on the bus to Greenwich and still have no idea where I am or how long it takes.

Chat to another fan who also needs a cab, decide to share one. 

Get in a cab, he decides he needs to go Westminster after we've worked out the cash 

Out of nowhere the driver tells me to get out so he can turn around.... I do as I'm asked 

Run for my train home 

Wake up today and I've got the £25

Make a post on here to try find the fella


...get grief on here 

Don't forget,  not local, don't have a clue of the area, it's pitch black and gashing it down. 

AFKABartram

Only joking Shiner :-) 

Gribbo

Just out of interest, where are you from and where were you going?

Just so's I know to keep me wit's about me if I ever find myself walking round there alone

Tunwellsaddick

Well done Shine166. Honesty is the best policy.

You have given me a great laugh reading this and the humour from other lifers has greatly lifted my mood following last nights humiliating result. 

Let us know if you find the bloke - before he finds you (: (:

aliwibble

Note to self - add a "sometimes asking for our help backfires" category in the next update of the Charlton Life highlights thread.

@Shine166 it's still probably worth putting it on twitter, and maybe getting the official club account to retweet it. You just need to explain it slightly better than you did here

AndyG

Funniest thread of the day award for sure ! 
I keep thinking about the poor sod watching you leg ot for your train leaving him to pick up the fare after he had already paid ffs. I bet he has told everyone he has spoken to today 😂😂😂😂

 Wonder if he realised straight away, or though what a nice chap, hope he catches his train...

...wait a minute!!  Bastard!!  Hope he missed the last train.

Trying to excuse yourself by suggesting you were half pissed won’t be considered as a plausible excuse by the judge and he/she will direct the jury accordingly.
I’m no expert but I’d say if it gets to court, you’re gonna be toast…..best to try to settle out of court IMHO….or at best hold yer hands up and plead guilty.
