Two women friends of a colleague of mine were walking through Glasgow Central Station when an Arab gentleman dropped his wallet.
Returning it to him they were met with the one good turn leads to another line
Then the message Stay out of Glasgow City Centre on Christmas Eve
Guess who is working in the City Centre tomorrow
And guess whose using public transport tomorrow as well
OMG!
You thinking he's in the know about summat?
Heard this exact same story a few times when I was unlucky enough to still be working in London.
Except, obviously, in the stories I heard the Arab gentleman wasn't in Glasgow, he was in <insert London place name here>.
edit: edited to avoid misinterpretation.
Weird and a little scary!!
Fucking propaganda??? or what!
City centres 5 mins from where I live!
This same story has been doing the rounds since 9/11. It's just a wind up!!!!
This *story* in it's various forms has been doing the rounds to my knowledge since at least the late 70's, although of course in those days it referred to an Irishman in *sustitute city of your choice*.
As a newly married teenager, with a husband in the Armed Forces, it wasn't funny then and still isn't today rolleyes mad
Get a life mate evil
Tracy-Jayne
Not a very funny one!! Only serves to feul the fucking laready tense atmosphere created by the media!
As if its not bad enough here with the attitude of a lot of people already!
Fucking people even stopped buying food from the local indians round here because of 9/11 the any other terrorists threats!
Paranoia gone mad! rolleyes
Ive heard thatone so many times since September 11th its rediculous rolleyes
I heard something simular, but the story went like this.........
Yesterday, a friend was travelling on the tube in London.
A dodgy looking man of Arabic appearance got off the plane and my friend noticed that he had left his bag behind. She grabbed the bag and ran after him, caught up with him and handed him back his bag.
He was extremely grateful and reached into his bag which appeared to contain large bundles of money. He looked around to make sure nobody was looking and whispered"I can never repay your kindness, but I will try to....with a word of advice for you: "Stay away from Watford".
My friend was genuinely terrified. "Is there going to be an attack?" she asked him."No ... ", he whispered back...... "It's a shithole."
haha least that ones funny! lol
wink As u all have said...it's complete nonsense!!

Do people seriously think that a terrorist would comprimise an operation because some one was kind enough to hand him back his wallet? Dont think so!!
As previous posters have commented. It's another "urban myth" but unfortunately it is one that could cause all sorts of problems to decent people of any "non-white appearance" everywhere, especially where drink and an empty head are involved, be it Birmingham, London or Glasgow or any other major city in the UK.
Have you guessed yet that shit like this really pisses me off!!!!!!! mad

rotflmao well, at least lol...rolleyes
have to say i have heard this one so many times!
Yes, this sort of warning is a well-established urban myth - see:

Mike.
hmmmmmmmmmmm!
well i'm stunned at the naivety of some of you lot . . .
it strikes me, any terrorist worth his salt, would have spent years, nay even decades, propagating urban myths to lull you all into a false sense of security. i for one will *not* be visiting glasgow tomorrow evening just in case!
if anyone does happen across a half-irish / half-vaguely-arab-looking type person dropping a wallet, or being a quid or so short for his shopping in sainsbury's, in a town near you, i have found the following short film advising on the appropriate course of action . . . . unfortunately it's from the 1950's, which might not be that relevant, and truth be told it don't make a huge amount of sense, but hey.

remember . . . make like a turtle . . . protect and survive!

I do a good impression of a turtle.. it involves some heartless soul putting me on my back on the floor, then laugh at me struggling to get back up again sad
