a bit council

[Neil H]

Witnessed a few times recently - pierced ears on a baby/ toddler. Disgusting, council thing to do.

I heard a woman screaming "Coolio" in the park, turned around to look for the unfortunate pooch, instead I saw a boy around 5 year old getting an earful for feeding the ducks his, rather horrid looking sandwich.
Poor mite.

Words fail me, Coolio?

You'd like to hope the registrar would just refuse to complete the birth certificate when presented with such ridiculous names.

They do in New Zealand...

They do in Iceland too, the name has to be in the book of approved ones or you can't use it.

A family member used to work in the legal team of the child protection department at the local council, it was unusual for them to draft a letter about a child with a 'normal' name. I think there was one family with seven kids, and each one had a ridiculous first name beginning with K.

The Kardashians?

Not so sure on this one - my ex is Italian (south of Italy) and it was quite normal for them as I found out when I expressed surprise.

I agree with it - totally council. I refuse to let my (future) kids have their ears pierced until they are in Junior School. My mother in law has other ideas...

A "gentleman" has just walked past the house; open can of White Lightening in one hand and 4 cans of Strongbow in the other.

It's after 12, so he's fine.

What a pleb, he should have been drinking the Strongbow first, of course - White Lightning is pudding cider.

Apologies, I thought my mac would have adjusted the time like my iphone did, it's showing 13:03 and I'm not wearing my watch.

I am watching Friends on a 55" TV and just about to pop a can of Heineken. I love being on holiday.

I know we've had these already, but this just popped up on my FB (council, I know) and it's so gash that I had to put it on here

[Bullett]

Hideous.

Have they got different surnames or are those middle names?

[nicanary]

I was just watching our local news on the TV, and there was an item about a foiled robbery at a convenience store.

Apparently the police are looking for a young man in blue tracksuit bottoms, a blue hooded top, and white trainers. So that narrows it down, then..............

They are just so cringe.

If my wife suggested something like that, I would just laugh in her face. Fortunately she is the sort of person to take the piss out of such things.
