Re: When Nomad met Cleri...WTMTP part 2
I know he will Paul. He's now in his 4th year of uni and has done really well so far and, he has been talking about going on to do a Masters Degree, so we certainly have no complaints on that score. He only has a part time casual job coaching under 12's in cricket and soccer, so what with uni fees and now my car, he'll be paying off debts for the rest of his working years.
We are just so shocked that he drove the car. He knows how strict we are with the no drinking and driving rule. There was no need to even take the car as he only went to the local oval to play a scratch match (cricket), then went in the social club after and obviously got carried away. He was really, really drunk, took the corner of our road to fast and ended up in the corner house garden wall. We haven't had the damage assessed yet, OH had to leave very early today and I was still in shock, but it doesn't look good. I suppose we have to be thankful that no-one was hurt. Goodness knows how he's going to get to uni and it's a bloody good job I'm not working at the moment or that would have been even more hassle.
Thanks for your kind words Paul.

Hi SSG just wanted to say your boy obviously has a sensible head (somewhere) on him to be at uni so I'm sure this will have scared the sh*te out of him and thank goodness no-one got hurt, I very much doubt there will be a repeat performance.
Not wanting to poke my nose in and it is by no means an excuse but maybe he was also a bit down about his grandad, hence the drinking?

well sgg thats the quickest way to learn a lesson, i,m sure he feels lucky and embarassed by it all, still sometimes we have to go through these things to come out the otherside a better person?, as you say thank god no one was hurt and you can replace a car, so i,m sure it won,t happen again?
I heard him out in the garage earlier, maybe he was looking over his works of art. It seems we may have approx. $13,000 worth of damage.

EDIT: Whilst typing this post, son has surfaced and apologised for everything that has gone on in the past few days. We have told him that we accept his apologies and he has promised that it will never happen again. Let's hope it was a learning curve for him.

Re: When Nomad met Cleri...WTMTP part 2
My brother accidentally shot the dog once (don't ask...why is it members of my family do such dodgy things?) and didn't re-appear from his bedroom until she'd been operated on and was given the ok, about 3 days later! He felt awful but to this day has never apologised, I think he was so horrified by his actions and boys just don't know how to communicate...

Yes it's true, mosy males just cannot communicate, well not in the way us females can.Our son had a drink free Friday night, no club or pub, just drove OH van to his girlfriends house to say hi and have some dinner with her and her family, then straight back home. Mind you, England v NZ cricket test was on the tele.
Hope everyone is okay. It's raining cats and dogs here.Whoopee!
