I remember playing Basketball out in the Rain inbetween parked cars until 2am, I remember using fences as goal posts as we played football. I remember kicking stones on the way home from School trying to get them into car exhausts...

Yet I find myself sat with a heavy heart feeling sick as I peer through the curtains at the local kids jumping up and down on a fence that is falling down as it edges ever more perilously towards my car.

I can see them taking run ups and swinging loose wood at each other as they lean on my rickety wall and I can see them brushing between the parked cars with their hoods and their buttons and their ice lollies out of control.

I'm pretty sure I'm not a grumpy old miser but when did I cross the divide?!

And how the fk do I keep these kids away from my st without incurring some sort of gross retaliation or until they reach working age and can appreciate property and Insurance and Cost?! confused

I don't want them all to die and fk off. Just not near my stuff! They are too young to go the park alone and I'm presuming the parents don't know/ care.

Sure, I go out, have a quiet word... then what?

Set to full auto and you'll have no pet/postman/milkman/overflying aircraft issue either.

Stand outside, near enough to be obvious, but not close enough to join in. Don't say anything, even if prompted by them - you're just 'gardening'...

Typical 'yoof of today' won't want some olddie hanging around with them. wink

Stuff a cushion up the back of your shirt/jumper/hoody and romp around your car/garden Quasimodo style - that should get them moving elsewhere.

Just go out and say if that wall falls and they get hurt you won't be paying any money to them for it.... Then stick up a sign that says dodgy wall, get the fekc off or be prepared for pain.

Apparently pink fluorescent lights work as they then look all spotty and the chavets wont give them a BJ for a can of Tenants and a couple of fags.

Curious, that looks like Goalkeeper, but not a version I've seen

Is it?




P.S: round em up, remote island, RAF, bombing practice.

It's a Vulcan Phalanx cannon, similar in function to Goalkeeper but a different system.

A spot of gardening close by with classic FM on a bit loud should move them away.
