http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-bi ... m-23188435I love the banality of this story. Not the attacking the girlfriend part, but because: a) It’s 50 Cent and b) He was going to a branch of Argos c) In Birmingham. also d) A shopping channel appearance I expect that if he hadn’t had his collar felt, these appearances would have been fairly low key in the media. The moral of the story folks: Don’t go whoopin up tha ladies, or you’ll miss up on a trip ta Argos up in Birmingham. Innit.

Brilliantly, I recall him being interviewed by Wossy with Jonathan saying 'You didn't get that jewellry off the shopping channel, did you?' 50 pence sterling looked horrified...

Lol @ it being argos. I know which one it is and it used to be lined by a mini-outdoor clothes market (?grey imports) and a special "smoking" shop that has smoking paraphenalia. Still a rubbish place and I thought the bullring area would have been better eg selfridges.

I remember the Bullring area pre shopping centre revamp. It was [LIFTED] dive of a market and some grisly shops. I’ve not been to Birmingham for about 20 years (thankfully). I remember that interview. I think it was the one where he told Wossy he had been shot in the face. Mind you, in our money at today’s exchange rate, he’s about 33p.

The entire place has been revamped - there is no "bullring" - just the selfridges building. Not been to the outdoor/indoor markets though. _________________He fights for the users.

Apparently, though he seems to be collecting the “raps” these days.
