Well I think "Christmasoompa" lives in some sort of Utopia ;)

Well said Rainey, she must be at the end of her wits having to put up with that every night.

Easy for me to say - I know. But, she needs to calm down a little, or at this rate she's going to make herself seriously ill!

It really makes you wander what the hell we pay the authorities for? Nobody should have to live and suffer like this because of mindless trash!

Re: Tonight
 

I don't think that's the case but a lot would depend on location and lifestyle. My mother, for example, is nonplussed by all this yobbishness in the Mail as she doesn't see any. She doesn't see any because:

- she lives in a dull affluent town on the Costa Geriatrica

- she doesn't go to the middle of town late on a Friday or Saturday night

- she grew up poor in the east end and then had three boys so she has a high threshold of yob detection. She wouldn't, for example, consider two drunk teenagers fighting with fists to be disorderly conduct as she's always been exposed to that.

tinytears apparently represents something of the other extreme. She attacked the neighbour's dog apparently because the neighbour was walking it in a hooded sweatshirt. She wants to be careful in Canada, there's a lot of dog walking and hood wearing here.

:eek::eek:;);)

so we nip over and drop them at moss side at midnight tonight, we will see who makes it out to tell us how they got on, some of these on here should go a day in the life of tiny tears and come back and tell us how they got on.

I hope that tiny tears gets her wish and 2009 is the year she get out of that hole and lives her dream, i remember being in a simular place and it is really not nice, but it will happen hun......you will get the last laugh.........

Good luck for 2009, sorry about last night me and rainey just needed to lighten the thread up :unsure::unsure:

Re: Tonight
 

Does tinytears live in "moss side"? If not, it's a red herring, no one disputes that there are rough parts of the UK and of Canada.

Re: Tonight
 

Oh FFS. Is it National 'Pick on Christmasoompa Week' and you've all neglected to tell me or something?!?

I don't live in Utopia, I just live in a small village in a nice area. Yes, I'm lucky, and yes, I have acknowledged before (and will do it again just to get rid of any doubt once and for all) that there *are* areas in the UK that are crap and horrible and full of yobs (inner city Manchester clearly being a prime example). But there are also a lot of other areas, such as where I live (and where friends/family live, and where we holiday in Devon), that are still nice and full of decent people, where crime is unheard of and children are unfailingly polite.

Re: Tonight
 

You need to read and speak to the girl to know why she did this, these people have made her life bad for such a long time, the person who this was pointed at was the very one that was causing hassle, i dont think it was attended to hit someone that has not caused her life hell.............

It is not the people that attack each other that is the problem in a lot of areas of the uk, its the ones that target others to get a kick from it, the police are unable to do anything, the police try with the parents to deal with the problem, but alot of the time its the parents that are the problem.

I have done volunteer work back in the uk and have seen this first hand, sometimes easier to deal with the kids than the adults :curse:

It's ok to sit here in canada and say xxxxx. but go and live her life for awhile and get off your soap box :curse:

Re: Tonight
 

I've read her threads. At first she seems to be complaining about yobs from elsewhere congregating at the bottom of her garden. Subsequently she mentions seeing the dog walker coming out with the dog which suggests that the dog owner, at least, lives in her street. Perhaps this is, in fact, just a spat between neighbours.

It's no more being on a soap box to say "take a Midol" than it is to say "eek, monsters over my fence".

Re: Tonight
 

Clearly she has reported that her location is not to be discussed, i would not use her location due to her situation, moss side is a clear example as most people have heard of its location.

For someone in the uk, living in high class areas is not the option ;)
The area that i come from was a high area a few years ago, sadly some bad familys moved in and the streets are not that safe, also there has become areas that i would not walk in day/night

I have friends in different parts of the uk, plus family and there kids are nice, polite and happy being in the uk
Sometimes its not the area that you are mad at, its the policys that they have in place, so the option is to get out

Like i said "go and live in her shoes for awhile" :eek:

Re: Tonight
 

Would be better if they was monster.....i think they have a law for that :p

Re: Tonight
 

But it's not typical of the UK. If you want to make a broader point, that "the country has gone to the dogs", it's not reasonable to cite the worst part of the country as being typical. Otherwise Canada should be represented by Rexdale or an Indian Reservation.

tinytears has repeatedly asserted that she lives in an affluent area, she explicitly rejects the idea that she lives in a dump and suggests that the whole country is as she depicts her street. If you're saying that people from rough parts of the UK do well by moving to Canada because variations in the price of property mean they can upgrade the area in which they live, I would have completely agreed before the recent slump in UK house prices.

I come from a place such as she describes. I've no need to wear her stilletos now (though I might choose to do so).

Re: Tonight
 

You did that alright ;)

Happy New Year to you Moondevil - and all :)

Re: Tonight
 

Yes, from the "yob" thread header:

"Tried it out in the middle of the night when one of the hoodies came out to walk his dog - the dog went ballistic and said hoodie started spinning round and around to try to find the noise."

Plainly the "hoodie" lives nearby.
