The grumpy thread

[EssDeeWon]

I have to go to a wedding tomorrow.

 

Bullshit bullshit bullshit I wish I had declined the invite now. I hate weddings! I would rather go to work, besides its Friday so its fun day in the office with beers left on our desks in the afternoon then everyone's out after work.

 

But I have to stand around like a tit watching two people I don't know get wed. Its my girlfriends cousin or someone, plus its about 80 miles away.

Got to be some Brownie points to be scored there.. no?

nudge nudge.

 

 

Second thoughts, might give GF ideas.

Run away.

Slightly older, but my 14 year old daughter was getting constant, endless verbal off a lad at school for being different.

She broke his nose.

She was punished, but we forced the school to punish him too. Over and above being known as the kid who has his nose broken by the weird girl.

I don't have kids myself so not really in a position to give advice about parenting but, when I was at school I got bullied on a couple of occasions.

Teachers/school consistently failed to deal with it when I asked for help.

So my dad told me not to take any more shit, so when I was bullied the next time I punched the little prick that was doing it square in the face knocking him out in the school stairway! He didn't even dare look at me again after this!

The next little twat that bullied me a few years later, he got a punch to face, knocking him down and splitting his eye brow open! He never did it again either.

 

I got seriously bollocked by the school for this both times but sometimes you have little choice but direct action.

I don't condone resorting to violence but sometimes it's the only thing that works with these nasty little shits.

It does need sorting one way or the other though, it can cause all sorts of problems that kids shouldn't have to go through or put up with. Sometimes it turns into lasting damage that takes years to get over or causes life long problems like depression, anxiety etc.

I've seen my sister suffer like this because of school bullies. She's 28 now and it has done lasting damage to her even all those years ago.

I dealt with it by teaching people a lesson but she wasn't like that so ended up suffering. The schools are equally to blame sometimes for not taking action.

 

I've got a great deal of sympathy for anyone getting bullied or the parents of a bullied child. It would make me seriously angry if my own child was getting bullied.

[Craig the Princess]

While Parky jnr breaking the cunts' noses is what we would like to see if that isn't a sensible option I would take him to see a GP to sign him off with stress/anxiety/panic attacks then speak to the head teacher on how the school has failed in its duty of care over x period and what steps they intend to put in place to stop it.

Either that or pay the local Jimmy Saville impersonator...

[michael1703]

I don't expect them to work for free, as I said, but nor do I expect to see my money going to pay for an £80k car when a £12k one would do just as well. Multiply that up and there's an awful lot of money sat in those cars that could be going to those who need it.

Did anyone see the bbc documentary on Kids Company

Unbelievable. She couldn't take responsibility.

 

Scary how people chucked money at her with little or no oversight.

[sheffcortinacentre]

parky get him to docs as said & give the school what for.

i have suffered from similar experiences since that age from a teacher being a bully, i'm 49 now and still suffer esp when confronted by authority figures.

the teacher was "retired" about 10 years later (in his 40's) after similar occourence's.

 

I was lucky when it came to bullying kids as my mate was built like a brick shithouse & would sort them out if they tried it with me & I thank john for this & his life long friendship & understanding.

650 employees, wage bill of a million per month, then the swanky offices,the houses paid for,private school fees for selected kids and her chauffeurs kids (not the 2nd chauffeur they use on longer journeys which costs £40k per annum) I think there was £6k in brown envelopes that got delivered to these play schools or whatever these things were that kids attended.

 

The 30odd year old in her paid for flat was let down by her too, rather than fund a way where she could stand on her feet she was given everything.

 

Consumerism is what gives people the sense that they are poor,it's better to possess knowledge and skill than a 50inch telly and crystal skulls.

 

Blair/brown supported them and Cameron ended them thankfully

Woke up late this morning. I hate waking up late on a work day

[scaryoldcortina]

Me too. Woke up when the phone rang at 8.30 where my alarm normally goes off at 7.15. Clock batteries to blame.

 

Just finishing third coffee now before running out of the door. Thank F the phone call was my first job of the morning ringing to tell me he was going to be late!

[beko1987]

Lucky! Was supposed to be up at 5.30 as I wanted to be in work early. Start time is 8, woke up at 7.40... I live 40 mins away and was meeting amys dad to collect something.

 

Thankfully I had a shower last night so clothes on, food thrown in a carrier bag, quick kiss goodbye then blast up the m40 flashing vag wankers out of L3... At least it should have forced some cleaner fuel through all the lines and injectors...

We went around some friends this evening to see their new baby they had 3 weeks ago, whilst there my mate had just finished feeding her and was winding her when she stopped breathing.

 

 

She locked her body up with her back arched and started turning purple. My wife rang an ambulance for them whilst my mate had her on the floor trying to get her breathing and following the instructions the phone operator was giving him whilst his misses was hysterical and we was trying to calm her down until she fanted. :/

 

It was bloody horrible, after about 5 minutes we had a first response car turn up followed by the ambulance and 5 paramedics in the living room with machines getting her breathing again. Thankfully they managed to pump her with oxygen and her colour started coming back again, after they all rushed off to hospital me and my wife nearly burst into tears with the emotion of it all. It was absolutely terrifying.

 

We've since heard that she's fine now and they think she was choking on milk and wasn't able to clear it herself.

That sounds awful, hope the wee one is back to full health. Wee shame

Interesting article. Hadn't heard about the south Wales one.

[MarvinsMom]

^I'm sure quiet a lot of this goes on with these charateeeees.only it doesn't often come to light.

[fairkens]

Whole floor in city point only part occupied, corporate law firms wouldn't be able to justify that kind of expense, crazy

[Inspector Morose]

If all else fails Andy, paypal it to me and I can pay you in real money.

Just seen this Sloth as it was buried by the Daily Mail. Thanks for the offer but I think I can get it sorted now via scotland.

Shit the bed. That must have been scary monkeys.

 

I made Mrs Imp sit through some videos of what to do when a baby is choking recently as Imp Jr is moving onto solid foods and interested in finding out what the all the things are in the world around him like remote controls, walls, chair legs etc by tasting them. Didn't even know that could happen with the milk. We wouldn't have been prepared for it at all.

I was similarly disappointed with the film Snatch.

Its something I never want to go through again or see anybody go though. I couldn't understand why the phone operator told us that we had to lay her on her back and rub her belly yet as soon as the paramedics turned up they laid her on her side and the milk started to come out.

 

I asked the lady why she said one thing and the operator said another and she just shook her head and basically said they are useless! My wife is now talking about doing a first aid course so we know what to do if it happens to us.

The videos we watched made us put them on their front over your knee and firmly hit their back 5 times and then roll them on their front and press their chest 10 times (not too low as you dont want to rupture their belly or something apparantly) and then repeat until the ambulance turns up.

 

Glad its all turned out okay.

I've just done my emergency first aid course refresher through work. I don't usually like training etc but this one is well worth doing, I'd recommend anyone to do it. I found the course really interesting actually. It can (and does) mean the difference between life and death. The more people who know what to do in an emergency the better.

Parky my 12 year old is/was going through the same up untill christmas.We involved the Police,the school and the school goveners.My boy got punched.kicked and pushed over.

The police spoke to him and his grandmother(the kid is 1 of 12)and lives with granny.He is already known to the police.The kid has been moved out of any class he shared with mine,he spends time in isolation at school.He has to keep away from my boy.

We have another 6 months to press charges with this kid for assault.

 

Apparently it is illegal to do what i wanted to do.but i can't go into that.

 

Just keep on it.

[Parky]

Cheers for the advice. I have calmed down. Bit and the school is well aware of what is going on now. Seeing GP not a bad idea either and particularly like the comment about the school failing in its duty here. Will keep that up my sleeve if it escalates.

 

Noticed last night that Jr is losing a shitload of weight, stress is really showing on him and I am not ignoring that.

 

I was bullied mercilessly at school (fat kid) so was nice easy target and yes I know the long term effects of it. Either way the Battleship Parky is at action stations, the guns are manned and we are ready...
