Romantic stunt backfires as streaking Cupid is fined, court martialled... and then dumped....
The Daily Mail ^ | Feb. 25, 2009 | Jaya Narain

It must have seemed like a good idea at the time - streaking across a Premiership football ground firing red roses from a bow and arrow like an overgrown Cupid.

But the romantic gesture for his girlfriend on St Valentine's Day well and truly backfired for James Miller.

First, he was arrested. Then, the serving soldier was told he could face a court martial.

But to add insult to injury his girlfriend, Jade Thompson, 19, was so appalled by his behaviour she unceremoniously dumped him.

Love does occasionally make us do strange things. Hope he learns from this.

Court martialed?

At least he didn’t fire them from his jock strap.

Don't think the author really understands the meaning of the word "streaking".

Query whether alchoholic substances were involved in this endeavor.

...when she noticed that his boobs were bigger than hers.

Aw, I dunno — he's got that sickly pasty ghostly white color that only the Poms know how to manage. Could use a few hours outside in the sunshine, but because he's a Pom he'd probably sunburn badly before he tanned. It's something in their water, same thing that gives Poms bad teeth also gives them that sickly pasty ghostly white color.

Aside from that, for an endomorph he looks to be quite fit. A fairly chunky lad, would probably make a good Rugby prop. I shouldn't want to be tackled by him: it might hurt.

If the Pommy military see fit to Court Martial him then they are spoilsports and plonkers and fools. Soldiers have done dumb things for yonks: remember the Gold Bond Powder video that the US Air Force guys did? I thought it was Hell-Funny and clever. This prank was nowhere near as bad as that.

As to the “girlfriend”? What a sow. Who needs that harridan? Women always complain about how men have lost their ability to be romantic. OK, so this was a tad clumsy, but not a bad effort. And the thought ought to count for something.

He's better off without her: she'd probably turn into a sour old tyrant who makes him do the dishes and clean up the house and change diapers whilst she goes out with the girls to watch male strippers.

Why not, when "nerds" like me will pay for their children through the welfare state.

Well, once her friends saw what a pudgy porker he was, as a soldier no less, she was probably too embarrassed to say she knew him.

So that is what a cherub looks like when it grows up. Sad thing to see one go from cute to pathetic.

FTA: Miller, a craftsman in the Light Dragoons, said: 'That sort of behaviour always seems to work some romantic magic in the movies. Now I have no girlfriend and no job. I've been in the Army for two years but I will be disciplined next week.'

Thereby pointing out a danger of modeling ones behavior according to Hollywood's world view.
