Reply to: My daughter got a dose of tear gas

[NotAllThere]

Is she ok?

She said it was rather scary when a tear gas cannister exploded fairly near them. She figured she'd stay on the tram as the safest place to be. She seemed fine this morning when she went to work. She said if her eyes were still a bit sore, she'd see the company doc - she's an apprentice chemical engineer, so she's used to working with hazardous chemicals. Crap at cooking now - she can't handle quantities less than 1000 litres.

Apparently a little while later the police opened fire with rubber bullets. There were 300 protesters, complaining about the arrest of 8 failed-asylum seekers who had taken refuge in a church.

I was not aware they had CUK accounts.

My grandfather, who lost 2 brothers at Gallipoli, always blamed the UK for starting WW2 anyway. Versailles.

Oh dear - I can see this thread going way off topic. How long before we discuss Mandela? Or the McCanns....

Was careless of him, did he ever find them?

[WTFH]

She was on her way home from extra-German

Was it a Hans-on class?

FFS Brillo. You think Nelson Mandela kidnapped Maddy???


Well I suppose his ex-wife has form.

What about some of Alois and Klara Hitlers' children?

I would hope that anyone who posts anything rude about anyones children would get a permaban.

You're right kids are off limit. Not that they'd be upset about anything you post anyway to Brillo, it's not as if he has custody to even let them know.

In the current climate you have to be careful what you say. Yesterday my wife asked how things were. I said "urrurrrurrr". Then said "I sound like Jimmy Saville". I then apologized and moved on.

At my current gig, everyone has a picture. Someone had theirs updated recently. Someone said "He looks like Rolf Harris"(which was true). I suggested we all forget about that remark.

I like to think that we are adult enough to realise we can take the piss out of other posters, but their kids are off limits

(which I why I resisted the urge to when I thought of a cracker based on your posting history yesterday)

I can still take the mick out of MM's mum?

agree rude comments about specific kids should be out of bounds but I reserve the right to take the mick out of the Squirreletttes & and the little Asses.

The children in this case are adults (although still no need for rudeness)

[BrilloPad]

Starting a topic about your daughter in General is a very brave thing to do... Respect the size of your cojones for posting.

She was on her way home from extra-German

And you believe that?

I bet she was the ring leader.....
