thaiduncankk Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 (edited) Where I come from, 'knock off goods' are stolen goods, not pirated goods. Pirated goods are referred to as 'snides'. Edited June 16, 2016 by thaiduncankk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brer Fox Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 The garbage bags will disappear inside the building to be sorted and re-distributed to policeman's favourite charity. And we all know what that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we all know what that is. These goods are always publicly burned. Keep on believing what you want to believe, but please refrain from using 'we all know' when you give your opinion.

Publicly burned my ass. Anyway I was referring to a police charity. Better going to a charity than going up in smoke. I will believe whatever I choose to believe and you can do the same.
