The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.” -

Like I said in my first post in this thread. I already know what I will say to my children on the topic. I will not be condoning drug use. Hopefully I will have this chat before they take any drugs. I will not appreciate you coming to tell me tales about my child learning a bit about life.Comment

.... but yes, if the OP is friends with the parents involved then a quiet word in their ear would be the right thing in my opinion.Comment

What you seem to be implying is you care about your own children but couldn't give two f*** about you best friend's kids, or do perhaps you would like to clarify that.I'm alright JackComment

She was a childhood friend - NOT her best friend - who she's drifted away from. SD's words, not mine.
My folks didn't know all my childhood friends, and not many of their parents. They knew my best friends of course...but once again, SD didn't say that, and you just made it up.The pope is a tard.Comment

I wouldn't worry Sally I doubt anyone will be taking your advice in a hurry.The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

This lass isn't even the daughters best mate - why do you think she's now a child of Sandy's best mate?!!
For god's sake - you're all so emotioanlly irrational about this.
Edit: And life long friends is hardly a term that can be applied to 17 years olds is it? Surely that just means they went to the same school?The pope is a tard.Comment
