I hope Charlie enjoyed his outing. Must have been more fun than being around here. Isn't January 1st the pits?

Re: Tonight
 

The pits? Oh no. Got up at 7, fed horses and chickens, went back to bed until noon. Lunch, long trudge in woods with dog and Young American. Now half watching "Ladette to Lady" a show about our splendid young people. I wonder if tinytears' band of yobs has surgicaly enhanced breasts.

Re: Tonight
 

Sounds like a day straight out of the Archers.

Problem down here is four throbbing hangovers and a collective inability to remember what any of us imbibed last night.

Self afflicted pits, but pits nonetheless.

Re: Tonight
 

I've tried to avoid at all costs linking to newspaper articles, because these two on the Daily Mail website TODAY are proof that you can take anything to fit in with their views.

If you were to believe that the whole country has gone to the dogs as Yogi and I have been saying, this headline is right up your street:-

Boozy Britain

However, if you were to talk Christmasoopa's and Flouderwatsits viewpoint that the country remains rosey and a lovely place to live, you will like this story:-

Trusting Shopkeeper


Of course there is some good left in the country, there are a lot of good people on here (and a few not so good :p ), we work in and out of hospitals and we see on a daily basis some truly selfless people, I honestly believe that there is a lot of good people and many of them do happen to live in the UK ;)! Yet on the other hand, we have experienced first hand the not so great side of Britain or a segment of Britain.

The newspapers could have focussed on all the revellers that had a great time and didn't get pissed off their faces or maybe they couldn't maybe it did happen as has been reported. I can only speak of what happened here - at 7pm we had a firework thrown at our back window which landed under the trampoline - I had not long since called the kids in from there and consider us lucky that they were in (I was letting them burn off some excess energy after they had been fueled by cherryade and donuts as a new years treat). What happened the rest of the night I don't know because I took the kids to my mums and we went round to friends. We sat there until almost 2am until we felt it "safe" to return home. At 4am I was woken up by yelling outside again and in the middle of the main road was a kid lying flat on his back.

I am sure though that others experienced nothing of the sort and that they had nice little get togethers with lots of friendly people singing auld lang syne in the streets and playing happy neighbours.

Re: Tonight
 

Having said all the above, now this is one headline worth reading:

Offenders face public vote on punishments

It is the lead story on tomorrows Guardian.

I love it, it was made for me!!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Re: Tonight
 

If the HR lawyers get their way, it'll either be watered down or stopped altogether. The public will be asked to vote on the same sort of easy punishments the thugs already get, as they wouldn't want the majority voting for the stocks or public flogging for minor offences because it'll infringe the criminal's human rights.

Re: Tonight
 

Since the article concerns only the type of community service that is to be provided by those convicted of minor offences it seems improbable that flogging could be included. I suppose it might count as community service if an offender were to be sent to Max Mosley's house to deliver a few lashes but I think what they have in mind is an Arizona style chain gang.

Re: Tonight
 

Lets just go and get them orange suits, chain them all togeather and make them clean the area up...........................
Make them give back to the area that they took, oop's sorry must be correct here.....they wont allow this in the uk, but then a guy who runs over a kid and never stops get 8 weeks in jail for doing it, the guy who was should i say alittle slow who took the teddy from the memorial area (and he only did this as he thought the teddy was getting too wet (bless)) got 18mths....

If they do the crime, they do there time, well they should do...............
i drive out of town and see the guys in there orange suits, in all weathers as well, but then we have clean streets and they are putting back for there crime :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Now don't get me on prisons, WOW
maybe not put back to the public, but wouldnt tinytears like 10mins one on one, instead of them target'g her KIDS :curse:

Re: Tonight
 

Agreed! But like I say, he never "pooed" there again. Result! ;)

Unfortunately for the dog, he had an irresponsible owner.

Re: Tonight
 

Sounds interesting. I'd like to know the choice of punishment - perhaps have a menu? ;)

Re: Tonight
 

What about any other creatures that may have come into contact with that hot patch? Just a sort of collateral damage?

Re: Tonight
 

One must be particular concerned about injury to drunken teenagers who unwittingly chose that spot on which to fornicate. Curry power on one's genitalia is no laughing matter.

Re: Tonight
 

Ok, here we go. Creatures! such as?

Re: Tonight
 

:rofl::rofl:

Re: Tonight
 

Yep, same as all those deafened by the high pitched noise.

Re: Tonight
 

Birds, hedgehogs, a toddler, etc...

Re: Tonight
 

The wife once worked in a summer camp where one of the kids told another that deep heat made a good lubricant for self copulation.... you can imagine how that ended :eek:

Re: Tonight
 

Why?
Why do you need to resort to juvenile deliberate mispelling? Was it supposed to annoy or upset me?

You forget that I have sympathised with you and your problem, that I too experienced something similar. Where we differ is that I don't consider assault a suitable response. BTW I don't recall if you said it was just you, or your neighbours are having the same problem?

Re: Tonight
 

Ah! I guessed you were jumping in with both feet. It's impossible for you to make a statement like you did, without seeing the situation.

Toddlers - have no access to the space where it was.

Hedghogs - are non exsistant there.

Birds - well they wisely choose to eat from the bird house provided by me, with fresh bread and the like every morning ;)

Re: Tonight
 

More victims of tiny's rampage against the bystanders?

Re: Tonight
 

It wasn't a statement. It was a question.

Do you need another shovel yet?

Re: Tonight
 

For goodness sake Fledermaus! You really do take simple things and make a real deal out of it.

Why do you get sooooo angry so easily? Maybe you should try a course of "Anger Management" or something??

Take last night, I merely said: " I knew a Jewish guy who was a real nice bloke." You retaliate with some ridiculous statement like "How do we know he was nice? Why are you saying he's nice? etc etc..."

I have to say, with your sarcastic manner, arrogant attitude, combined with your continual anger at posters. It's no wonder the local thugs smashed your windows!

With that, I resign from this post as you just feel the need to row constantly with posters, heaven forbid they should disagree with your point of view.

You are just incapable of having debate without getting angry or lowering the tone to sarcasm!

Pathetic really!

Re: Tonight
 

Not really no. Maybe you should engage your brain before your mouth, and see the situation before judging!

My Goodness! Where do you people come from - laughable really!

Hmmm, all things considered. I'd say it's you that needs the shovel ;)

Re: Tonight
 

:rofl::rofl::rofl: Erm, once again.......pot, kettle and black! Re-read your responses above and try and tell us how they're not sarcastic, arrogant, angry and taking a simple comment and making a big deal out of it?!? :rofl::rofl:

Re: Tonight
 

Reminds me of a saying... 'she's the sort of girl who, if on fire, I'd put out with a shovel' ... and yes there is a judgement there.

Re: Tonight
 

And breathe....this was supposed to be about Tinytears and helping her in any small way we can..:o

Re: Tonight
 

I'm not angry.

You seem to be though, and definitely have moved into personal abuse territory.

Re: Tonight
 

I'd be curious to know the answer to that too. Victor Meldrew syndrome perhaps?

Re: Tonight
 

Yogi .. seems to me that, if anybody, you are the one who is over-reacting. I see no problem with sarcasm as it sometimes is effective and gets the point across.

Alas some people are so dense they fail to recognise it.

The comment that is it no wonder local thugs broke her windows might have been intended to be sarcastic or funny but to me it comes across as being mean spirited.

And this business of the Jewish guy being really nice well how is it relevant? If he were really nasty would you have told us that too? Does it really matter? I suppose the point you were attempting to make was that this person lost relatives in the holocaust.

Re: Tonight
 

Quite........oh dear!!!!!!:(:(

Re: Tonight
 

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/today/re..._meldrew.shtml

I certainly think tinytears and Yogi should take the quiz in this link and tell us their results.

Re: Tonight
 

Nice!! What a lovely bunch of people some of you are.

I am so glad that what has been a hideous time for my family, friends and I, has been turned into such a source of vileness and hillarity for you all on here. Whilst you may think it is so very funny and something to take the absolute piss out of, let me remind you that my kids have been scared shitless these past few weeks, my friends have had two black bins full of rubbish thrown at their car, and dented - all because they chose to come and visit us in this hell hole, we had a firework thrown at the trampoline the kids had only just finished playing on, we have had plant pots thrown against our front window and our for sale sign kicked, thumped and then what was remaining torn into shreds - never mind the filth these animals have left for us to deal with each day, their empty cans and bottles shrewn all over our property and the graffiti they did all over every wall on the estate.

And now you ask that I take some sort of "Victor Meldrew" test for your amusement.

Cheers! I didn't think my opinion of some of my fellow human beings could get much lower but ...

Re: Tonight
 

Well I did.

Re: Tonight
 

3/10 for me. Got a vileness quiz?

Re: Tonight
 

God you did well.......i didn't make it past question 1..........:p:p:rofl::rofl:

Re: Tonight
 

Spooky. I got 3/10 too.

BTW, I just got a bilingual indoor/outdoor weather station this afternoon at The Source. The outside bit shows F, but the base translates this automatically into metric. Amazing what machines can do these days.

I just thought you'd like to know.
