How old was this bloke? Once upon a time this is something I may have done too. I bet there's more than a few people on this forum who have pint glasses taken from their local pub.
Only thieves steal glasses.
Bit of a sweeping statement, bet you were fun when young and stupid.

Midwife: "what have you called him then?"
Me: "James"

Good choice. Strong name.

There was a classic in the paper today that just screamed Council.

1. Spending 7 hours in a pub on Sunday with your whole family.
2. Kid was called McKinley.
3. Kid was bothering the landlords dog (some kind of staffy/pit bull)
4. Kid gets bitten.
5. Family call the papers and pose with sad faces.

There does always appear to be a tragic link to a child's name and said child getting ravaged by some vile dog.

Ie Kyle. Kian. Bradley. Leah. Sharmarley. And so on always seem to come a cropper.

As my lad's called Kyle I hope that's not the case.

His grammar school offer's just dropped on the mat so at least he'll be less likely to spend his lunch breaks in the local flat-roof pub, bothering the landlord's pooch whilst discussing how his name attracts vicious dogs.

Are we reinstating the cringeworthy thread?

On an related note, anyone wearing a waxed leather hat like this in my area of Dorset/Somerset...



...might as well wear a sign saying "I've moved here from London"
I wear one of these excellent and practical hats, am Dorset born and bred and now live in Somerset. So such a sign would be incorrect.

Congratulations ! My son's name also. Good luck with all the 'fun' that accompanies a new born.

Ouch !!! I'm sure the lads a genius and will do well.

If the school is anything like the one I went to, he'll be nearly 18 before the masters start to even use his first name.

Ok how about Mckenzie. Brooklyn. Jaxon. Barclay. Orlando. Brooke. Mason.

Or double barrelling. Leah-jade.

I currently live in a "housing association" property (council house) with my parents (I'm 31... don't judge yet)

Parents:
2 children, my sister and me (obviously) both employed smile

Dad, 70 year old retired bus driver (prior to that security guard at the British museum)
Mum, 56 year old has MS, now bed bound

Hence being forced to move (by Dr's etc) from own owned home into an adapted council house (hospital bed for mum, wide doors, wheel chair access etc)

Now that's out of the way...

Having looked around the relatively modern build estate I am sadly able to confirm some of (all right ALL) of these stereo types can be found here boxedin

PS: Of the stereo types here our biggest TV is 37" and we do have two 4x4's but they are classic Land Rovers (1960 & 1975, both MOT'd tax'd and insured).... not smokey old Shoguns.

Just watched an American home cooking show. I can only say that people who eat off brightly patterned plates are very council.
