Your dad should stop sucking sailors knobs and get a real job himself.

Its a refrence to a public service advert in the 80's either you are too young to know or just a tw8t. Probably a tw8t.

You can't call someone a tt for not knowing you were making a tongue-in-cheek reference to an advert from some 30 years ago.

That makes you the tt.

Your post sort of reminds me of a situation that was quite tragic. A mummy grouse or something like that was trying to marshall her 12 or so chicks across a road into my village (approaching a 30 mph limit). As I approached the line of little birds crossing the road, I slowed and stopped.

As I waited, I saw a bloke coming the other way in a Jaguar of some sort. He seemed to be speeding up so I got out of the car and tried to wave him down. The tt looked at me, put his foot down and wiped out the trail of chicks.

I don't think I have ever been so angry in my life. As he went past he looked at me and smirked. I was shouting at him, the !

My fiancee and I scooped up the few we could see still moving and one died in her hands. To this day it still brings a tear to my eye. The little thing made a few chirping sounds, wheezed a bit and just went still.

I really hope the person in the car had or has a visit from Mr Karma. I couldn't believe what he did. He really was a fking !

That is possibly the saddest and most rage inducing thing I have read. I hope his Jag caught fire and he got home to find his wife being made airtight.

WARNING - some of use who were born in the mid to late 1970's need to remember that we are starting to become 'older'.

I had to explain who/what Wombles were to a 20 year old this year. I felt really old doing so. I even had a sub 25 year old not realise that the 'really funny and quick' retort I gave a week or so back was actually a direct Blackadder quote

I live in Cambridge and if I've got rubbish in the car I drive to Haverhill and throw it out the window.

If I see litter in my road I'll often pick it up, and save it for my Haverhill trip.

Good idea, I'll divert through Haverhole on my way home... Or just save it for my next Mill Road trip.

A few weeks ago I was driving along and saw traffic ahead slowing and then weaving all over the road. When I got closer I could see it was an animal of some sort they were trying to dodge and cars coming from the other direction were approaching too fast and a squish looked imminent. When I got really close it was tragi-comedy. A fox cub had a McD's soft drink cup (those big beaker things) totally jammed over its head and was running randomly about in the road.

I stopped the car, all the time expecting the little blighter to be squished at any moment but when I got near the cub darted into bushes and down an embankment by the side of the road. I couldn't just go as I was sure the fox would just end up back on the road again at some point. It was so young it obviously didn't even have the wherewithal to claw the thing off its face.

So I then spent the next twenty minutes crashing around in brambles. Every now and again I would see the cub but there was a happy ending. Eventually I got fairly close and to my amazement it wandered right up to me and stood stock still. It really was as if it knew someone might help. Without a word of a lie I just reached down and grabbed the cup and pulled it off the cub's head. Cub then did a Tom and Jetty eyes bulging impression (I probably did the same) and then it just charged off.

I felt as good as I've felt in years and I bloody hate litterers!

from me too. You're that one in a hundred that actually does something, rather than turn a blind eye. You should be proud of the fact

So let me clarify something.

You stopped to avert a pile up right? right.

You didn't stop to save a cute fox that'll probably be killing chickens in no time and as fox hunting is banned the vermin are the bane of land owners throughout the UK?

in all seriousness though, well done you - good to see someone caring

[J4CKO]

Littering is one of those things that drains my soul, along with all the other stuff that the lovely public get up to, just have to remember it isn't everybody, if it was we would be knee deep in litter.

I have found if you are going to challenge someone about dropping, don't be aggressive, just pick it up, smile and say "I will put that in a bin for you", if you start issuing ultimatums it wont end well, aggression breeds aggression and the scummy fkers that drop litter re usually the type that quite like a confrontation, utter peasants basically.

I had a kid drop his chip wrapper (launched into the church grounds) and I suggested he picked it up, he squared up to me, got right in my face. I just suggested it may be less hassle for both of us if he picked up his litter and he should think long and hard about what was about to happen, don't put your face in someone elses unless you really, really know what you are doing, that is mad, it is a sure fire way to end up needing facial reconstruction, where do they learn that from ?

I avoid confrontation now as it doesn't work.

[RDJ]

Youth are without doubt the worse offenders. I was deadheading some shrubs at the front of my drive when two young men walked past. One of them (needless to say in a vest and plimsoles) tossed his magnum wrapper in to my azeleas in direct view!!

I am normaly quite complacent but felt so affronted that I caught up with him and said "if you throw any more rubbish in my bushes you will need a magnum my fine feathered friend; and I don't mean an ice lolly!

Wow! The way the bear was disorientated was exactly what I was seeing. Funny in a way afterwards when you know the outcome but at the time really distressing. I am a bit of a sucker when it comes to sick animals and I've lost count of the various creatures I've taken to rescue centres. I remember walking miles along the coast parallel to an oiled bird until it was finally washed up and I could take it to the sanctuary. Pollution - another pet hate!

Unfortunately there is a mental deficiency in some. Last year on a local fresh water lake (it is not far from the sea so separating it from brackish or tidal) some kids were seen stoning some signets. They died. The family then left, notice that last bit, they were not on their own and with grown ups. There is a bird hide or three around this bit of water and I suspect that they were observed from the opposite side.


It is also the same place where dog walkers bag the usual. All well and good. Then they sling it in the hedge.

I challenged some yoofs stoning a duck and some ducklings on the local river, they muttered something along the lines "werent aiming for them" and "it was an accident" and wandered off. The other people walking on the bank were just shaking their heads but not doing anything.

I was out walking my dog last summer. We were close to the sea, but on the path. Anyway, she sees the path down to the beach and gives it legs (she loves the beach). Straight across the busy beach and into the sea. I'll concede she shouldn't have run away from me, but she's completely harmless, if disobedient.

I'm walking down the beach to retrieve her when some fking scrote hurls a fking rock at her. It hits her square on the back. I went and spoke to the kid and his mum about what had happened. Did the kid's mother give a st? No, of course she didn't. I was within a gnats ballbag of picking up a rock and throwing it at the nipper, but that seemed to be dropping to their level.

Some (most) people need exterminating.

Simon.

This seems to be turning into my thread. I've only ever once punched someone before they took a swing or otherwise indicated they were going to have a go and that was about 20 years ago on Nov 5th. Ii was walking my dog early evening before things got going and some little tt, probably sixteen at best, threw a banger at us. I tied the dog to a lamp post, crossed the road and punched him full in the face. I didn't even think about the consequences. He went down like a sack of potatoes across a low garden wall. I just walked back, collected the mutt and went home but afterwards the realisation set in and I spent quite a few weeks worrying about a knock on the door. Can't say I had a moment's remorse, I was just worried about the effect on my career if I was convicted of assault. As the OP stated, WTF is wrong with some people. I like to think he didn't do it again.

Obviously it may have been a dream.

Wrong, I stopped to save an ickle fox.

Don't get me going on foxes and chickens. We've sent men to the moon (allegedly). It is not beyond the whit of man to construct a fox-proof hen house. Even if it were, for reasons I've never bothered to think through, I'm quite happy with animals dying natural deaths, vermin or otherise, but being squished as a result of some peasant discarding a drinks container doesn't fall into that category.

If it makes you feel any better, I've shot lots of animals and birds, every one of which has subsequently been eaten.
