There was a big spike on my councilometer yesterday evening whilst in the supermarket.

Overweight and rather unwashed looking 'lady' with two young kids, who were walking around barefoot, saying to her daughter "Come 'ere baby gal".

That's more gypo than council!

Behave! Anyone on Facebook who has unwittingly left a FB page open around unguarded friends has returned to find a juvenile mate (and I'm 39....) has changed their status to 'xxx is really missing a big firm cock to snuggle up to this evening'. And if you haven't your friends are too serious

Why any 39 year old man would be on Facebook is beyond me.

Walking down the street while staring at your phone, oblivious to your surroundings.

Council.

Really? My mothers on it, and she's 62!

Yea, these days Facebook is way more popular with older people than younger

Most young people have moved on

Or teaching children that its not just Mum and Dad that they should listen to, but all elders should be respected?

(I'll concede it can be lazy in circumstances, but kids should know how they're behaviour effects others, and therefore, THEM.)

Absolutely not, They should learn how to discipline their own children

"Stop that, or the man will take your toy away"

HOW ABOUT "Stop that or I'll take your toy away" - The parent should be the bad guy, not me as a random bystander


And I'll add to that, the sort that speak like this are usually the sort of parent that would quite happily have a go at you if you so much as looked at their child the wrong way. I'd love to see what they'd do if you actually went over and had a go at their child

Isn't it a sign that you've got no respect / sway with your kids anymore as you've spent years telling them You'd take their toy away (but always relented when they kicked off) so they have to resort to using a third person to try and create fear of toy loss?

I'll add: Taking your dog for a walk with it wearing a muzzle - nothing says "I have an aggressive dog I cannot control" better than it wearing a muzzle; therefore owning an uncontrollable dog = council.

Incessantly using the phrase 'not fit for purpose' when something cheap breaks.

Disagree. I presume you're not a dog owner? A muzzle can be required for many a reason. As an example my late Dane/ Dobe X had a very high chase instinct, and was (understandably) huge at 8 stone. The softest, least aggressive dog you'd meet though. As for rabbits on the local woods though - where he was allowed off lead - I wouldn't guarantee the safety of one if he caught it. I wasn't prepared to take that risk (and rabbits were the one instance his recall went out the window!)

Also some dogs will have wearing a muzzle as a condition of adoption, which maybe for instances like mine, or it maybe that they don't like other dogs - walking around a street corner to find themselves face to face with another as an EG.

Would love to see the outcome of that one!

They all sound like examples of aggressive dogs which cannot be controlled!

A very misused term. Something breaking does not leave it eligible as 'not fit for purpose', the trading law term for that is 'not of satisfactory quality'. Not fit for purpose is something not being suitable for the job it's meant to do.

I disagree. Wilson my Dobe/Viz X is very strong. He gets extremely excitable seeing other dogs, and is a handful, but at no point when this happens is he not under my control. The routes we walk don't lead to such blind meets, so I don't consider a muzzle needed.
And a dog chasing a rabbit is called instinct, something every dog has, with some it is very strong.

Agreed - The dog may be a big softy so the aggressive part doesn't apply, but it still can't be controlled.

I see your point, but it just upsets a little as the year in which I had Henry (Dobe/Dane) I received many dirty looks, shielding of children and crossings of roads, just because he was a huge black/brindle dog with a muzzle, which was only there to ensure the safety of rabbits! Likewise Wilson is hard work on the control front, that doesn't make me a bad dog owner, or council, it means he is a dog that was taken back to kennels on three occasions (he's very handsome, but like most guns is hard work) nearly destroying his soul. Unfortunately 6 months in kennels left other dogs barking as the only thing for him to hone in on. As I say with Wilson, he is always under my control. Henry wasn't with Rabbits admittedly, but does that really matter, when it was just me and him in 80 acres of woods?

No that white Range Rover on the You're So Council fb page isn't mine if anyone was wondering

I wouldn't worry, I knew I'd get some bites with it (pun not initially intended) but this thread has been going on so long now that just about everything that everyone does / owns / thinks / believes is council, so we're all council in some way by now.

[ThunderGuts]

'Storming off'

Walking out of situations - basically when you don't possess the ability to 'use your words'.

This can be in any situation really, a 'discussion' which usually turns to violence, job interview, parents evening etc.

The reason given is usually because the other person is a muppet / it's their fault / the job ain't wurf it.

Normality resumed, it's just something that narks me a little so hit a nerve. I should take it more light-heatedly

Suppose it stemmed from a Facebook friend once saying 'not vicious? He's wearing a muzzle!' on comments a picture of Henry.....

gratuitous pic of the boy

Cute hound!

He was adorable. I lost him nearly 3 years ago at only 4 years old
