Shhh, dont tell anyone about Rookinella
This is a cross post from a private forum:

Im not sure if im meant to tell everyone what has gone on… then again i dont care.
Rookinella and her band of merry men were caught inside Stracathro hospital this week gone, and got arrested for being found in an enclosed space and for intent to steal. Now keep this quiet, this is strictly between you and I, because Rookinella (Lucy Sparrow) probably does not want this information getting back to her parents (Same situation, would you want your parents to find out?), so whatever you do please dont tell anyone (Like Mark Sparrow, her dad). Anyway, the upshot of it is that they have to attend court on the 11th of August, now i personally think that with previous convictions such swag hags as Rookinella are probablly caking it right now, but that is just personal opinion. Anyway, they have to attend the Forfar Sheriff court on the 11th August to have the final sentence handed down to them. Now normally we would have to rely on those involved to report back on the proceedings of the day, but miracle or miracles i find myself otherwise engaged locally to forfar around that time, so selflessly i am willing to attend court and report back full and factual information to the urbex community as a whole on the proceedings of the day.

I know they are you’re friends, but as I’ve always said to you what is between me and them and between them and you has no bearing on our friendship as far as I’m concerned.
Going to court to ridicule her is quite entertaining as far as I’m concerned, I have nothing better on that day and I would like to see how things go, its something I’m genuinely interested in especially considering how much exploring I do in Scotland. It just happens to have the added bonus of making sure that the urbex community as a whole finds out about the latest exploits of Rookinella, something she herself is usually so keen to ensure.
As for talking to relatives, you’re barking up the wrong tree there man. You know me, I’m always quite upfront and open about what I do, and if I had spoken to any relatives I would happily say so, but I’ve not spoken to any relatives about this at all.

You don’t get their location, IP Geotagging will give you to the town at best, are you trying to claim I’m the only explorer in my town? Also, if I were to spoof an email i would also bounce through a proxy so the IP wouldn’t even by my own showing in there. You’re obviously not as clued up about this as you seem to think you are. As I said, was not me that sent it, though believe what you like.

Mykal, lovely to see your response. I don’t believe we’ve actually met although you seem to hate me quite a bit for reasons unknown. One day you along with a lot of your friends just suddenly decided you didn’t like me. It’s okay though, I have plenty of other friends. I have to say however, I don’t really hate you guys in response. Everyone who I have met who now apparently ‘hates me’ has always been sound in person when we’ve me up and a lot of us used to get on quite well. I know that I haven’t done anything to you in particular so I guess it’s just a case of hating me because of what other people (who I have also not met) have said on the internet, behind ‘private forums’. I hated a kid when I was in Year 8 for stealing my DT work and claiming it was own and then getting top marks but I got over it eventually. I wonder how long a hatred fueled by nothing whatsoever will take to settle down?
To clarify I didn’t mean to say Shepy did contact her relatives, just that the name mentioning and suggestive tone that seems to encourage such behaviour is there and that I find it distasteful.
BTW: I see we both enjoy a similar taste in films. Have you read the Bluntman and Chronic graphic novels? I could scan them in for you if you’d like?

On a different subject Shepy, I find the bold on ‘Comment’ in ‘Comment from …’ somewhat annoying. I guess you have put it there to separate each comment. Personally I think a divider () between each comment would look better. Not as thick as the one for ‘Write a comment’ though, maybe just 2px?
I’d probably reduce the size of the timestamp too and put it directly below the ‘Comment from …’ text. That’s bugged me for a while.

Yes everyone on the forum knows i posted this, as that’s a direct quote from the forum and quite clearly says that it was going to be posted here. It is a private forum to protect the integrity of the information and sites discussed, so that security firms and pikies etc don’t see the info and lock down sites / steal from them etc. As its my own post and doesn’t mention anything else said on the forum by anyone else then it is no breach of confidence of that forum, its simply my own words being put on my own blog, I was just too lazy to re-type it again for the blog. Which forum it is from is irrelevant, if you were a member then you would have already seen the thread regarding this and which i have quoted myself from.

You have met Shepy, you should know as I said if he did it, he would openly admit it. Im more pissed off about this than Shepy is and he is being accused of it.
No I have never met you, but the reason for me calling you a cock sauce on NEUE is for something im not gonna post on here, if you want to know send me a pm on neue and ill tell you. The reason for calling you a cock on this thread is because I was writing cock sauces, which reminded me of the NEUE thing which made me laugh and then add you to my rant….. As for the bluntman and chronic GN I have read them, and they are rather good.

How people can still stick up for a selfish cow like her I will never know! You have read time and time again how she has screwed people over and there you all are still lined up like lambs to slaughter! One look at her posts on 28 days and you can see she is one twisted person, her kicks seem to come from flaming noobs and targating the person who happens to have fallen out of favour that week. Like leemings you all follow her lead on there then elsewhere your opinions totally change, why is this?
Rookinella goes through her Urbex life using people for her needs then dropping them as soon that need is served. If your still in her *circle* then you haven’t been needed yet so she is keeping you close. Wake up before it is too late and you end up in trouble because of this selfish woman!

just lol @ how sad some peoples lives are, try leaving the house and finding a girlfriend Shepy as from this blog and your posts (and general appearance) its obvious you are struggling/ or sad that Rooks turned you down (which is what is being said on the grapevine and would make a lot of sense), I would recommend internet dating as I have heard there is someone for everyone, it might make you less of a pathetic individual who sits at home touching himself while thinking of ways to offend someone who he has no real connection with, who has done nothing to offend or hurt your personally( apart from the obvious rejection). I am not sure but I can guess that you are older than 12 and have a reasonable education, so why choose to act like someone who does not? It baffles me. One day you will look back at this and realise that you have done something wrong. Imagine it was your family being contacted with harassing emails and text messages, you would be furious, so try growing up and living a life where you let old grudges lie, as far as I can tell your little secret forum, has no real interesting sites on it anyway, Rooks is actively out there exploring new sites and this just reeks of jealousy, or some kind of fascination because she is a female explorer or possibly its just shouting for acceptance from the various people who spend their lives talking about her, go out make some real (NON UE) friends and have some fun.

Never once made a pass on rooks, only time i have ever even met the lass she was dating another explorer whom i would class as a friend, so chance of me making a move are zero. Nice attempt at an ad hominem defence though, surprised it didn’t come sooner. As I’ve said above it wasnt me sending the email etc, though no doubt Rooks fan club wont believe that, as those who know me have said above if it was me then i would quite happily say so, in fact i would probably be advertising the fact and enjoying it. As for my life, you have no idea what it involves, friends or otherwise so ill just ignore the rest of your comment

I think Shepy, you did the right thing. Firstly, she craves attention therefore you did her a big favour. Secondly, though there aren’t rules in UE, I think its generally accepted that we need to be discreet. Posing on top of bridges for shameless self portraits etc etc and lapping up the tabloid attention isn’t discreet in my opinion.

As far as I am aware, this will be the first directly UE related charge and court case to ever come up and get to COURT in Scotland. If the defendants use the ‘oh, we were only taking pictures for UE’ defense and are proven guilty of stealing things then my concern would be that pretty much every explorer up here will have their bottom felt BIG TIME when found on a site in the future.
Previously, believe it or not, the Scottish UE community has had a fairly good relationship with Police and it’s a shame to see this destroyed for nothing – and by people not even directly connected with that community.
I honestly hand on heart wish everyone connected with this the very best of luck – it’s my understanding based on the judges concerned that you’ll need it.

All this slagging each other off/double standards/bitching is starting to annoy me big time…and it aint just the urbex world…..other exploring circles are suffering from it as well. its got to the point where i am thinking, thats it i’m off, lets leave all the little kids to their handbags at dawn and get back to what I enjoy doing…..in fact yes i’ve had enough of all this.

*Hangs head in shame*…NOT!!! Did she once concider others when she was playing games with non public reports moving them to public then readding links once they were deleted and making the member a junior member so they could not edit the post again??? Did she concider the person in question had a wife and kids at home to provide for and if the police had got wind of the report he would have more than likely lost his job? I think not, or she simply wouldn’t have done it. So yes I still hope they come down on her hard, as I have said before I feel sorry for those that have been caught up in it with her though. Common sense should have told everyone her day would come with her living her Urbex life in the spot light at every oppertunity and if the rumours are true collecting as much swag as she can carry.

Esposa, you seem to have some hatred building up towards 28 days dont you, yet you cant stop viewing the site as you were online on the 23/ 07/09 at 20:24. If you hate the site so much why bother viewing it?
Why title this whole blog as “shh dont tell anyone” too Shepy? Why dont you just put a hungry fat kid in a sweet shop and tell him not to eat any while the owner is in the back!!! If you didnt want the controvosy they why post it?
Is Rooks a mate of mine, yeah. Do I want to get into her kex, naah. She is a good explorer and has done stuff over 90% of the explorers dream of. We all take our risks in our hobby and a lot of us have had a night in the cells for it (myself included) but does it stop us? naah it keeps us focussed on exploring and not getting all pissey and pointing fingers at people that are doing stuff they wish they had the grapes to do.

I think the witch hunt seems to be focusing more on laying blame on Shepy for bringing this to the ue community, you are all explorers and as such i am sure you are wary of that day you could be arrested and thrown in the cells, let alone charged and taken to court. However it seems that this young lady has been in the media for so long, and of her own doing, getting good sites locked down and apparently helping herself to whatever takes her fancy, that it comes as no surprise that she along with her friends have become the centre of attention once again. It doesn’t take a genius to do a search and see some of her antics, which several years ago would have been frowned upon by many, including the so called illustrious members of 28 days later. IF this is the first case where explorers are to have the case taken to court then surely it is of importance to the ue community as inevitably it could have a great effect on how the security and police deal with explorers caught in sites. I do feel that this young lady along with her friends have brought this on themselves by their rather blase behavior and their courting of the media. Maybe if she had kept a slightly lower profile like most explorers do rather than to brag at every opportunity other members of the ue world might not be quite so ready to see her downfall.

First of all, good on Shepy for posting this on here, as some people aren’t members of the closed forum. It’s time we had the truth from an outsider, rather than the bits and pieces the people who were arrested would want us to hear, I doubt they would tell us the whole story.
My motto for exploring is, take only pictures, leave only footprints, it’s a shame that rooks and a few other’s don’t adhere to that, and take as much stuff as they can get from the places they explore.
Rooks may have been to places that only 90% of places other explorers dreams of, but others have been doing it for many, many more years, done live sites, and a lot of firsts, take pics, and don’t post it on any forum. I’ve been to places that aren’t here anymore, and were closed and demolished before rooks was even born, and so have many others.
I’m only surprised it’s taken the authorities this long to catch up with her.
At the end of the day, MOST of us are taking pictures to record a building, finding out its’ history, and documenting it before it gets demolished. Others are just in it for firsts, and to take as much stuff out of the building as they can carry.
At least MOST of us can hold our heads up high and know we don’t steal anything. It’s a shame that Rooks can’t isn’t it?

We don’t all go in places to be first, or to steal things. I document everything, find out the history etc and take pictures of everything before it’s demolished, converted etc.
Exploring isn’t a race to be in somewhere first! Nor is it for others to tell people what they can and cannot explore! it’s not to go inplaces and steal whatever they can get in their swag bag!
I and 99% of others don’t inform the media everytime we go out to explore something. OK, not everytime, but a lot of the time. I’m sick of going through the country’s newspapers and seeing rooks name up somewhere or another. That’s not what exploring is all about. It’s about time some people realised that!

First of all it was directed at “anon” (who is happy to whine on here but not publish a name, you put yer head above the parapet there sunshine) It depends on you level of exploring capabilities Smileysal, I have seen your reports and the front of an old town hall dosent fire my rockets but it does yours and others who like a more sedentary explore (which to be fair wont even make the local paper when they have more exiting stories of a cat stuck up a tree for instance)!
As to informing the media, believe it or not they have to power to browse the internet too so it is them that pinch the pictures off exploring sites and then publish them with a story of “reckless youths” etc to grab headlines (which is copyright theft when the dont ask for permissions).
A story of two people climbing a bridge wearing the same safety equipment as the maintenence guys who work on said sttuctures or explorers wearing dust masks and sturdy footwear walking around a factory being demolished using the same precautions as the workmen is hardly newsworthy is it?
As to theft, I havent witnessed any theft from places I have been to.

Another mistake from Squirrel lmao. In the article Rookinella did, taking the media with her to the HOSPITAL that she explored, she was not wearing a dust mask, or sturdy footwear.

I don’t care too much for an argument but thought I would have my say if I can:
I think peoples blinkers need to come off. Everyone does this for different reasons by varying degrees. Everyone has different abilities, methods and ethics. There’s no rules either. Not many people are whiter than white from the top on down, and everyone in between. The different forums reflect this to some degree. I’ll bet we all have friends in the circle that break the ‘footsteps / photos’ thing eh?

Ahh that report of West Park for the Independant. I would descibe bowling shoes as sturdy enough for a hospital wouldn’t you? The newspaper wanted a report on UE and they asked somone to do it, so do you ask somone who can talk a good explore by saying “I have done far more than anyone else” etc and have no reports to back it up OR do you ask someone who IS experienced and happy to show them a place that they have done before and able to risk asses it as to if you need a mask in that instance?. If your taking the press somewhere you might aswel make it an easy access and fairly safe one havent you?
You have problems with red dufflecoats now aswel to you?

or patterned ones
Bowling shoes aren’t really sturdy for somewhere that has dodgy floors, the rubber soles aren’t thick enough really to protect the feet from nails that stick up. Steel toe cap shoes are a better bet, as they protect the feet both above and below the foot.
“I think peoples blinkers need to come off. Everyone does this for different reasons by varying degrees. Everyone has different abilities, methods and ethics. There’s no rules either. The different forums reflect this to some degree.”
Yes everyone has different abilities and reasons for wanting to explore. No one has the right to say who can and cannot explore something. Yes people have different methods, but breaking into places isn’t the done thing, it’s breaking and entering, and if people have done that, then they should be arrested for it and charged with breaking and entering. or if they’re stealing everything in sight, then they should be arrested and charged with stealing etc.
It’s just some people have morals and ethics, and some people obviously don’t. The majority of explorers do have ethics and moral, it’s a shame that the minority who steal etc ruin things for the rest of us.

Back to the point. They did something wrong, they got caught, theyre going to court.
At the end of the day, we all want to know the outcome as it will affect us all if we choose to explore in Scotland. So we should stop argueing and just wait for the verdict and hear the results in full.

I fuckin’ LOVE you guys! I get blamed because I’m an easy target and I can pretty much take what you all throw at me including all the abusive texts, phone calls, forum comments etc. because I can separate real life from internet personalities that I’ve never met. I don’t care what so and so is doing 300+ miles away because it’s none of my business. For a hobby that is a little bit “thinking outside the box”, you guys seem intent on slapping rules on things. So I steal an old telephone from a crumbling building….who gives a shit? Seriously! It’s not your building/property to kick up a fuss about. This site ownership thing has got to stop.
And as for media whore? Jeez have a go at Simon Cornwell or any other number of people who have gone to the press over the years. I’m pretty certain I never signed a document when I started exploring that stated I wouldn’t co-operate with newpapers if they asked. You lot think this hobby is secret? You must be hidden under your beds, absolutely creaming yourself over your super secret hobby that nooooooobody knows about but you. I suggest you give yourself a secret squirrel scout badge and be on your way.
I LOVE doing what I do and I enjoy telling people. Buildings aren’t going to be saved if we all prance about in Magnums and camo pretending like it’s a game of Wolfenstein. We should be alerting the real owners of these places and saving them from being knocked down.
As for getting sites locked down? Hmm name one….and if you’re going to wangle West Park in my face then you may as well forget it. I was there 3 days ago and it was wider than my supposed fanny. So once and for all, peel yourself away from the computer and go out for a nice walk instead of having a go at someone who has done nothing to you. As you can probably imagine, I don’t particularly enjoy it when I read nasty stuff about myself and I think you guys would feel the same way if the shoe was on the other foot. I don’t get mad and I don’t retaliate because that’s the worst thing you can do to bullies. I did however choose to speak out now because of getting my Dad involved. He is a very ill man and doesn’t need the added stress of strangers contacting him. I didn’t choose not to tell him what had happened because of how he would react, it was to save him the added worry. We almost lost him 2 months ago and I don’t want it to come to that again.
I think if you met me in real life, you’d soon realise that I am the most inoffensive person on the planet. I dance and I knit FFS, is that really that threatening? I know that none of this is going to sink in but I had a spare half an hour before work and thought I’d write something. Just remember, there’s not some hardened criminal on the end of your messages, there’s a real person. (sob sob, bring on the mini violins).
Anyway, take care you lot. Happy exploring and keep the flags flying.

Well I have been vocal on here so I am going to reply to you Rookinella, for the record I haven’t messaged or sent you father anything (not saying you think I have either). You are however not innocent as you make out, did you even stop to think when you moved Mexico75’s York Minster thread into the open he had a wife and children at home to suuport? Then when his links were removed you prceeded to put them back and demote him so they couldn’t be edited again.
I was absolutely livid that day the only reason to move them was for media attention which in turn could have led to police involvement, he could have then lost his livlyhood for good! We are not the only people you have hurt deeply in their personal lives, I know of at least 4 people who did meet you and were very good friends to you and you shit on them from a great height. Don’t use you knitting and crap as a mask, you are a selfish individual that only thinks of herself. I hope you are worried shitless because then you know how I felt that day and it may just make you think twice about others in the future. If any spellings are wrong then please don’t be pedantic and correct them again because I really couldn’t give a flying fuck!

Also love how the only possible reason as to why a male could dislike you, is because you refused to shag him. How about just because you are an attention seeking, arrogant, selfish, egotistical, megalomaniac little bitch?
You sit there acting the innocent pretending you would never hurt a fly, attempting to achieve some sympathy when 99% of the rest of the time you are doing nothing but putting people down, causing trouble for people and taking a lot of enjoyment from it.

and some of the wholesale swagging i didnt like, but im no angel on those grounds ive got a shed full of stuff i’ve aquired.
as for forcing entry we’ve all done it or followed very qucikly in someone elses footsteps who has.

When RU started, there were only a few people in there, so it was fairly private. At the end there were hundreds of people in there. Odds are I was in there a long time before you, if you want to go down the “but I was first” attitude that seems to pervade urban exploration.
But there was never any rule written that whatever was in there would never go public – a lot of reports were shifted from RU into the public forums, normally with the report writer’s say so. Really, if you could “lose your job” as the result of a report, you either hide your own details well enough or don’t post at all. You post to gain attention, not hide it.

The report was moved within 24 hours of it been made…if they are going to get moved that quick why have a none public section? Ok you have argued your point..answer me this…why when the links to photos were removed did Rookinella replce the links and make Mexico a junior member so he could not edit it again?? No matter what point you argue about none public ect that was wrong, and her seeking futher media attention for the site.
She is free to do that with her own reports but it is below the belt to force someone else into that spotlight when they blatently did not want it. You can now argue as much as you like cybergibbons I have made my argument perfectly clear and no matter what you say can defend that kind of behaviour. 28days would be a great site with a lot to offer if it wasn’t for a select few.

Esposa, like I say, I don’t care about the issue mentioned in the original blog post. I don’t want to get involved in the mud slinging and rumours.
My point is, if you don’t want everyone to know about something, do not post it online. RU had hundreds of people in it towards the end. All it would take is one person leaking the pictures, a mistaken move to a public section, misconfiguration, the forums being hacked and so on, for the details to be out. If you run the risk of losing your job and not being able to support your family as a result of a report leaking, keep it private.
There is no requirement in urban exploration to tell people you have explored something. There is no requirement to post pictures on the internet.

‘I think you should all stop being so horrible to somebody that most of you clearly don’t know very well, if at all.’
I feel that you are not quite understanding the situation here: A lot if people know Lucy and almost as many intimately! The problem comes from knowing Ms Sparrow too well, fuck buddy or not you soon realise that there is nothing below the surface but a girl who has major complexes in life which she chooses to ignore, blame on everyone else and will continue to bat her eyelashes thinking she can get away with it.
‘Your time can clearly be put to better use doing things that don’t hurt and upset other people. Rather worryingly quite a lot of you seem to get off on bullying somebody and I don’t think this gang mentality should be encouraged.’
Lets not forget here the people Lucy has used to get what SHE wants and then dropped when the next big thing flashed up. Or the amount of people she has offended in the past with various forum issues …. Let’s not forget here that 28dayslater has turned in essence into a huge cyber bullying site ridiculing ‘newbs’ and ‘older members who have fallen out of their net of ‘Do what I say not what I do’

I have never explored in Scotland so if Shepy has the time to be at the court hearing i would be very interested in his account of the case. It may result in extremely useful information. Or maybe if i don’t intend to steal it’ll be pointless?

It is great to see someone fall from grace, elitism never worked for anyone for long, and it is funny how many people find this extremely funny. People that think they are great are now finding out just how many people they have really pissed off, and that is not because your nice at all, it is cuz your a wanker usually. It is time to reassess why you got into this hobby, was it for fame??? fortune??? or to piss people off and steal stuff. It is true none of us are icy white and at all godly, but if your gonna put yourself in the limelight, you need to watch what you do as the world is watching, and their wont be any shortage of people laughing at you when you fuck up.
Brought it on herself that one…I always thought she might!!!
And I do love it when I am right.

The buildings are still there, this does not affect anyone but the people involved you have bought this to the attention of the public by posting about it all over the internet therefore giving a bad impression of UE, frankly you have done more harm than Rooks taking a few small things from sites, and made yourselves look like nasty vindictive people.
People have been arrested before, Two explorers got arrested breaking into Leybourne Grange, is exploring hospitals in the Uk ruined? NO, Nurse Payne got arrested coming out of a drain in London from under Buckingham Palace, is Draining in London ruined? NO. Some explorers got arrested in London climbing a skyscraper and ended up on the terrorism list, is High stuff ruined? NO. Explorers get arrested all the time, most keep it quiet or private for the exact reason you seem to have posted it everywhere because publicity ruins hobbies and activities, if you dont speak about things like this then the media wont see it and pick up on it however now you have the hobby will become tainted with 1) the fact some explorers liberate items from locations and 2) there are some nasty people in the community ie yourselves.
The instigators in all this are the ones who are in all truth worse than Rooks the members of these so called secret forums have even stolen in order to make a profit on ebay as apposed to Rooks who takes things (or steals, whatever you want to call it) for her own personal collection, the items inside these locations tend to be discarded litter, and items which are regarded as not worth anything by the buildings owner otherwise they would have/ should have been removed before if rooks wishes to take it who are we to judge? we should leave that up to the judge at the court case.
anyway I am done here I think we (the people with sensible answers) are fighting a loosing battle as unfortunatly even uneducated irrational people such as Smileysal who obviously can speak for a hobby she knows nothing about and has an inability to partake in without making a complete fool of herself ( getting stuck on a graveyard fence) are allowed to comment.

To be objective, is it possible that Rookinella and co. were just unlucky, or being cheeky to the police? It’d be interesting to hear more about it.
Taking the odd small memento is common, but I have heard stories of people sawing larger items in half to enable them to lift it out of the building.
I visited a hospital down south which had some 2nd floor windows seemingly smashed through so explorers could get a good photo of the admin block.
Ultimately I think it’s sad that this peculiar hobby which was once friendly and low scale has turned into a monster with dozens of opposing factions, attracting some ruthless thieving vandals along the way.
Oh and give it a rest smileysal, it isn’t a post count competition.

Oh FFS shadow, you made me lose, that’s totally unfair dude.
Moving on, I’ve been arrested twice for similar offences to rooks, but hey no one made a fuss about that did they. The very idea that this one incident is somehow going to ‘ruin’ exploring for the rest of the community is possibly the biggest load of utter bollocks I’ve read in my life, and how seriously some of you are taking it really makes me laugh. I’ve never met rooks, but no one deserves to be on the receiving end of some of the shit that’s been typed about her or to her, and anyone that has typed such things in public should be totally and utterly ashamed of themselves.
That is all.

Yes theft happens at an alarming rate. Fair enough some owners see no value in those items but others do – Rookinella did cos she took them. Remember folks – taking (unwanted?) stuff from places is still theft regardless of its condition or size. I’m glad she’s been caught – it will give other people a chance to see stuff that she may have taken.

HSBC in central Manchester, we were the first to do before any other forum. a couple of culverts in Derby, another first, Culvert in Buxton, ooooooooooh another first. Plus an MOD site, that part of is still in use lmao.
Rooks has always had a go at either newbies, experienced explorers, even though she (and Meh) has never met them, slagged them off etc. Yet, if someone slags her off, she retaliates by saying “this person has never met me, so can’t comment on me etc”.
And there’s taking things from sites, and then there’s taking as much stuff as you can out of these places.

Yup – lots of visitors. I’m pleased Shepy has enlightened the masses of this incident – Rookinella isn’t nice. She has been nasty to many folk and caused lots of friction. You see that’s the problem with the net – distance and anonymity. “Friends” of Rookinella say on here that if you met her you’d realise she’s really nice. The fact is – if the folk she’s rubbed up the wrong way actually met her she’d shit herself. Let’s hope there’s a lynch mob waiting for her on her court day. Rookinellas world is slowly catching up with her. Excellent!!

This blog is a prime example of what an un-moderated argument would look like on ANY urbex forum! I can’t say that Rookinella is my closest friend, nor can I say I personally have anything against her. I think people need to wait until the court case is over and done with so that we can get a clear idea of the circumstances behind the charges. It COULD be that the people who were caught in Scotland were very unlucky and weren’t upto anything other than a mooch around. It could also be the case that they were upto no good.
Wait until we have some more facts, and know the consequences before we start getting so opinionated.

I gotta say i’m interested in what happens, but mainly from the perspective of how it effects us all in what we do.
However, anyone that comes out with “I was there 3 days ago and it was wider than my supposed fanny”, deserves some credit somewhere along the line.
If the case has been postponed, it’s more than likely that the prosecution are still trying to get enough evidence to make something stick, which means they aint got shit, cos if they did, it would have gone ahead there and then. It’s not as if they are chasing witness statements, whatever the people that got caught had on them is all the evidence the police would need, so it couldn’t have been much.
I doubt very much that it’ll end up in any other way than charges being dropped, or it would have gone to court there and then.
I could be wrong though, especially as I’m pissed atm, but tbh, I’m hoping to hell that whatever charges were made are dropped, as convictions could give the police encouragement to be a lot more heavy handed than they are right now.
So less with the laughing at other people’s misfortune, even if you have a problem with one or two of the people involved, there’s others there that are stand up guys who don’t deserve all the laughing n shit.

Everyone has deviated from the whole point of this fuckin argument…
Rooks wanted all the attention from the papers to pay for her smack addiction…
But now she has the wrong attention she dosent fucking want it…maybe she has learnt her lesson?

Forgot to mention….
If shes gonna steal she better be able to accept the consequences…
When i used to go paint, you accept the fact you could be arrested, charged with criminal damage…
Same with exploring, I can happily accept the fact I could be arrested, and I will take that, my parents know I explore, that I paint, they had to bail me out after being arrested…
So why cant rooks just hands down tell her parents….maybe she wants to be the good old innocent rooks in her red coat

Oh hai, I’m by no means a “1337″ urbexer, and ive never met rooks. I haven’t done SHEDLOADS of sites, but i can say that rooks is a credit to the urban exploration world. She goes out there and does stuff! I’ve been banned from 28dl in the past, and i dont have a grudge against it, unlike some of you tossers. Yes, im dating a moderator, yes, i take the occasional thing. I have an eye chart i liberated on my bedroom door. Yes, i get my tits out for 28dl. The only reason you’re all finding it SO much fun to rip the piss out of a fellow ue-er, is because she’s experienced at ue, she goes out and has some fun with it. She’s not as uptight about it as some people are. In the end, people do it for different reasons. Rooks is just a girl enjoying the buildings she has the balls to get out there and see.

I was just showing that just because rooks does more urbex, and is more in the spotlight, doesnt mean that she has to be shot down when something a bit bad happens to her. It happens to the best of us. Just because rooks is better known in urban exploration circles, doesn’t mean that she should get all the shit.
What about the other guys that got arrested too? Im by NO means telling you to take it out on them, but you havent, have you? Why rooks?

Okay, yeah, so i might not know the whole picture. All im saying is that it’s a bit daft bringing the whole thing up in a blog. Okay, so some people might not like rooks, but there was no need to make such a scene about it, and probably cause some people a bit of distress. All a bit silly and petty IMO. Each to their own and all that though.

ok, so I’ve read all this, view 28 days regularly and I still don’t get all the fuss!
UE is something I would love to get into but so far all UE forums I have tried the minute I ask to go on an explore I get flamed, booted or ignored. I know full well all the associated risks of (basically) trespassing on private land. Now unless any UE’ers out there are completely thick you also ALL know the risks as Rookinella must have done.
I have worked security on building / demo sites and have escorted my share of UE’ers off of premises, EXCEPT those that have asked first. I guess it takes the ‘edge’ off a site no doubt but your not going to get pulled by the rozzers.
I do not know Rookinella nor am I every likely too but I have to say as an outsider to UE, she has some balls for some of the places she goes (as I respect a lot of UE’ers). As for anything outside of UE, personally I don’t give a shit whether she’s a polite manned young lady or an out and out hooker. None of my business as far as I’m concerned.
I would have thought given the nature of the beast (UE) that the ‘community’ would rally together to share info, alert each other to dangerous (rozzers or physically dangerous) sites and stand by each other. By the sounds of it Rooki has crossed some people and done some shit on some forums. Hardly life threatening stuff tbh. I run an internet hosting company and moderate a fair number of forums and I get shit for moderating some posts. Why I moderate is between me and the poster so why should I make all my decisions public knowledge? Maybe thats the case with Rookie / 28 days, then again maybe not? Before anyone asks I’m a guest viewer on 28 days, I come and go as I please with no hassle.
People just get into the spirit of Christmas, ley bygones be bygones and hope that the 5 people concerned get a slap on the wrist rather than spending time behind bars. Little momentoes from sites I don’t have a problem with, loading a car boot though is a different matter.

I’m not going to whinge at you about the fact these people are my friends, but surely you have better stuff to do than go to a court case? You could go do something amazing that day. Going to court to ridicule someone just seems a bit petty, no matter how much you dislike that person.
And I think talking to relatives is crossing the line a bit mate. It’s got nothing to do with you really.
