Just when I thought I'd seen everything....
In a land where irresponsibility is the national characteristic, I thought I'd seen it all.
Until this morning.
We drove off for a visit to a local attraction: just up the road and before a bend a pushchair was stationary, almost in the centre of the road. As we swerved around it we saw it contained a baby. The father was playng with a toddler on grass at the side.
Anyone coming round the corner would almost certainly have squashed the pram.
Unreal...................

You don't need a license to have a baby, mores the pity.

Cruel and unfiar though life may be, there may be a certain Darwinistic 'improving the gene pool' thing going on in this particular case....
Pity the poor child by all means, but perhaps rejoice for the species that something puts the breaks on succesful breeding of people like that!

Did you tell anyone or move the baby, or did you leave it there

I'd heard that in the UK the child would be playing naked in the middle of the road and the father would be in the pub having a pint.

There was a job in the paper, washing dogs, need licence
Had a great
OMG 'heard everything' moment yesterday. Our rental was up for grabs, couple of applications rolled straight in and agent went into great depth about one. Asked what our other option was and she said dont bother with that one they are IXXXXX ( insert race 
) they would smell, put up extra curtains, never open the windows, not very clean, you would never get the smell out of the house. I am sorta looking at the phone and thinking some days I wonder if I really live here
:curse:
