Our burglars are getting braver, so much so that they are inviting you to take a selfie with them outside the houses they intend to break into.

"When me and my gang heard that the Lux coppers sent ten officers to ticket cyclists in Strassen, we pissed ourselves" said thieving bastard Jean-Paul Bichelot from Longwy.

"We used to wait until the Schouberfouer and then just go from house to house looting and laughing all the way."

"Now we are taking selfies, boasting all over the internet, then swaggering back to help ourselves."

Lux Police Chief Claude Klules said, "Our officers are well spaced all over the country.  Some Police Stations are open for four hours a week now."

Bichelot added, "We're hitting Klules's house in six weeks, need anything?"  

  The European Commission have drafted a Survey to track the behaviour of children.  

The Splice has stolen a copy and here it is just for you:

1] PUBLIC TRANSPORT
A - Your kids wait patiently in line for a bus and say hello to the driver.
B - They stand morosely in the middle of the doorways.
C - They shout down the entire length of the tram in a pathetic cry for help.

2] SCHOOL
A - They work autonomously, except to come to you for help.
B - Their physical attendance is 70%, mental attendance is 6.25%.
C - Their 'homework' is video games on crystal meth.

3] MANNERS
A - They say things like "More Riesling with your Gouda?"
B - They leave toilets unflushed and laugh when you freak out about it.
C - They give you the finger to your face.

4] DEMENOUR
A - They pack themselves for whatever event they're heading to and leave you a nice note.
B - They forget half their stuff and you have to leave work to get it to them on time.
C - They get arrested for prostitution and the Police leave you a nice note.

5] SCHOOL TRIPS

Mostly A's: They need to LIVE now.  Take them out of their bubble and join the rest of the world.
Mostly B's: They need the occasional hosing down but they'll make it.
​Mostly C's: Lock them up and exorcise them NOW.  Then introduce them to a venemous fish.
