Some more bedwetting.

Look out SY. It looks like you have competition for your 'head bedwetter' status. RC is making a move for your crown.

It'll be like bloody Niagra falls on here soon!

Eh?

How was that bedwetting, you soggy-knickered buffoon?

[Alf W]

Sure, sorry. I posted it in another thread but can't be arsed to look for it.

Basically some cretins stamped on our pumpkin. SY02 spotted this while standing on the neighbour's drive (she and the little SY01's were about to go trick-or-treating with the neighbour's and their littluns.

She shouted at them, and they still rang the doorbell and angelically asked for the requisite trick or treat. I was in the process of handing out sweeties when I heard SY02 tell me not to and the reason why.

I got cross at the kids and told them to bugger off. One of them (in a knitted balaclava helmet) picked up a glass bottle from the recycling box at the end of the drive, casually walked next door and hurled the bottle at SY02 showering her and the kids in glass.

SY03/4 took it better than expected. SY05 (16 months old) took 45 minutes soothing down from the shock.

So, let's get this straight? You live in an area where the youths are known and proven to be boisterous? It's Halloween night when said youths are likely to be out and about looking for 'fun' and you not only leave a carved pumpkin unattended outside but you also handily provide a box of bottles? You then compound this by getting lippy with he scrotes?

Now I know I have the benefit of hindsight here, but I think I might have handled it diffently on the night.

As for the pub thing, who do you think the landlord prefers? You nursing two pints of mild all night or 20 lads chucking bottles of WKD down their throats like it's about to be banned?

I vented my frustration, then realised I was outnumbered 20 - 1. Are you suggesting we should all walk with bowed heads for fear of being labelled a punch bag if we speak up?

I have no problem taking a kick-in, and to be fair I would take a few of them out with me. That said, when the cozzers got involved there's lil ol me versus 20 of them when it comes to versions of the story. It would be a whitewash.

By choosing my battles wisely, I have survived this far. like these generally wind up barred so by staying away I can just let the landlord do his job.

Of course if next time I walk past I find the pub being converted into a block of flats I know he did not do a very good job.

Simples.

No I said either stand up and be prepared to go the whole way or if you haven't go the bottle don't. You basically made a half assed attempt to stand up, quickly followed by you backing down to the extent that you avoid the place now.

I have more respect for people who just did what they normally do and not rush in like a hero, only to be humiliated later. The guys are probably just typical youths having a good time and then you barge in.

yes, SY01, how dare you think you can leave a pumpkin outside on halloween and have your bottles bin on your drive too

oh dear, Alf, that is a crap argument.

it reminds me of Reading Services on the M4, where in the carpark they have a big signs everywhere saying do not leave valuables in your car - oxymoron, most people who stop at those sh!tty disgusting motorway services do so because they are on a long journey and have a need to stop and as a consequence of being on a long journey have a car full of goodies

furthermore, one would have thought that a motorway services where the majority of private punters are on long journeys with cars for of goodies would be able to find a way to provide secure parking for their patrons ?

or is that asking too much ?

it seems to me, in the UK we have grown to give up and accept the fact that everything should be bolted down and if something gets stolen or damaged it is the fault of the property owner and not the thief

I am always pleased when for example in Vienna I see a mobile telephone left on a car dashboard, or a builder's lorry with wheelbarrows and ladders in the back not chained down

what a nice place to live

Unfortunately your cousin is incorrect (I think - at least I believe there is not an absolute banning of smacking).
