Emma…a ten year old smoking? He must have been a late starter! x

Mr. Nighttime…I have Irish ancestry. Hence the odd descriptive phrase which trips off my tongue from time to time. To be Sure.

Tony F…its because they are allowed to get away with it. In years to come when these dickheads are pensioners what are they going to be like then? Geriatric hoodies with zimmers and packing a piece probably!

KT…its a bastard having to be nice all the time just in case they complain. Political correctness is one thing but weak management who find it easier to discipline their road staff rather than telling the complainent to get a life make the job even harder.

An Ambo from downunder here, similar situation with political correctness that makes you want to scream. We had a 21YOF ‘Droid’ (our word for these joyful drains on society) who was on the ground clutching her abdo screaming, surrounded by 20 family members having a brawl… needless to say we were assisted by police in getting her on a stretcher when she decided to start beating up one of the police officers there to assist us. Abdo pain turned out to be playing possum, and despite assaulting police and spitting at us ambo’s we had to be on best behavior as these people are the most likely to lodge official complaints and ruin our career if we ‘offend their sensitive feelings’…

Makes me sick.

Words fail. Political Correctness, and ‘human rights’ . Why is it that the none humans amongst us have the rights that the rest of us do not have?

“Mr. Nighttime…this kid was a first class gob shite.”

Ah, you used my favorite descriptive term. I act in local professional theatre, and did an Irish play by Jimmy Murphy back in 2005 called “The Kings Of The Kilburn High Road.” I had the joy of using “gobshite” (amongst other uniquely Anglo curses) quite liberally. Of course, I have used it from time-to-time here, and my non-theatre friends just look at me and say, “What was that word?”

I totally understand where you are coming from though. In many ways, from what I read in British newspapers, political correctness has gone overboard even more there than here. I was totally flabbergasted when I read about BA stopping serving meat on in-flight meals in order not to offend Hindus. If a Hindu does not want a meat dish, THEY WON’T BLOODY ORDER IT!

Sheesh!

I decided to go shopping yesterday morning before rugby and walked onto the main shooping road where I live, it’s not that bad an area where I am, just some streets are worse then others, for example three streets in a row and one is just an ordinary terraced street, one is quite pleasant with a small park and the other seems to hoard all the undsirables of the area.

Guess which one I decided to walk back down on the way home, yep, thinking I would be ok at that time of day, but no is my short walk home I was asked by what looked no more than a 10 yr old for a light to start with, when I told him I didn’t smoke he told me to fuck off.

Then at the top of one of the terraces was another undsirable asking me if I fancied a shag….it was laughable really but still made me feel very uneasy.

Dregs of society everyone of them..x

Mr. Nighttime…this kid was a first class gob shite. His atitude was deserving of a thousand kickings from all and sundry. It galled me that the Police, and us, had to watch our Ps and Qs in case it offended him.

Louise…it will come. It will come. Just dont put your job, or your life, on the line for these scumbags.

Bendy Girl…lil sis, he would not last 2 minutes as if the Taliban did’nt get him then the real soldiers would. A first class tosser that really got to me and thats what ranckles…I should be allowed to voice my opinion of him without fearing repercussions. In the good old days he would have been given a good slapping! Big Bro..x

You’re so right, they do it because they can get away with it-it’s sickening. I’d like to see people like him made to go out and do the jobs our real soldiers do, then see if they’re still whining for ‘respect’
Take care big bro x

Frightening the attitude some of these guys (and girls) have. I haven’t encounted the same kinda thing this side of the border yet but I dare say it’ll happen in time!
