What didn't escape my notice was the area she was from (Penhill), and article 6 in the right hand column (penhill area least likely to send teenagers to uni).
Coincidence?

This is going to sound harsh, but it is council to put your fun and hobbies before your responsibility to your kids.
Been rather busy with life so not been on the thread in a week or so. The above point is particularly pertinent. My 4 week old son has been diagnosed as having Cystic Fibrosis, so, as I would hope most parents would, my priorities have changed. My MX5 that I've been hoping to get back on the road has instead gone on Ebay, I've sold my hi fi separates and am adjusting to the fact that my fun, hobbies and indeed pretty much everything else comes second to the little one's needs. It's not look at me altruism, it's not trying to gain sympathy it's just the right thing to do.There's a disabled 12 month old around the corner from my wife's house who has Downs Syndrome, some serious digestive issues and a whole host of other health issues. His 7 and 9 year old brothers are fine. Their father walked out when he found out about the youngest one's health issues and hasn't been in touch since. Spineless s
t bag. Being in the situation I'm in, I can't begin to imagine how this guy thinks it's acceptable to leave his ex to pick up the pieces alone.Putting yourself above your kids and family is definitely Council. A 94 year old guy I know lost his wife of 70 years very recently, and he's quite frail himself. Obviously his son who lives down the road from him cancelled his holiday to France so he could look after his distraught father. Did he b
ks. I fear that a large portion of society, regardless of income and social stature, is becoming very Council in it's outlook in relation to me, me, me.
On a more light hearted note, a Council House literally around the corner from me has now erected a Boxing bag hanging from the side of the house, to go with the 2 Staffies that s
t all over the garden, in which the 6 or 7 kids play. I will take a photo later if the hippocrocogriffapig isn't leaning against the door smoking. The back door of the house opposite that one has a sign in the window saying, 'Use the front door APART FROM ASDA!'. Council Gold.Whistle said:
I would go so far as to say a large percentage of the UK are utter council.
We have just spent the last two weeks in southern Spain away from all of the tourist areas, not heard an English voice in at least 10 days, utter bliss. Almost all of the Spanish we met where all very pleasant and well dressed.
This morning I arrive at Malaga airport ready to fly home.
My God I felt embarrassed to be English, almost everyone there was utter council, shouting and swearing at there fat as feck kids with stupid names, all stamped with tattoos that look utter sh*t and dressed like they are well into sporting activities when in fact they are all morbidly overweight.
Britain is doomed.
That's the reason that my wife, 5ft. 3ins., and 7.5 stones, no tattoos, switches into French when walking into an area abroad that contains hordes of British chavs.We have just spent the last two weeks in southern Spain away from all of the tourist areas, not heard an English voice in at least 10 days, utter bliss.

As soon as we touched down in Stansted and went to passport control, you definitely knew you were home.
Whilst waiting to find out what carousel to pick up our luggage from with the hordes from all of the other flights, myself and the wife would look at the electronic signs that showed where the flights had arrived from and which carousel to collect ones luggage from, we would play "guess the destination that horrible looking family had arrived from, (you know; the mum with the bright red "tan", the two fat kids and the bald headed meat head for a dad, wearing a vest) ", invariably we were right; usually somewhere in Spain.

I'd more likely respond, "Quelle foule, veux-tu un verre de vin?"

The flight to Orlando is the most council flight there is! i do it regularly (which i guess makes me council) and still cant believe my eyes and ears half the time.
I've only flown into Orlando 3 times, once from LHR to MCO, don't recall that being bad, once from La Guardia New York to MCO, all good, and once from LGW to SFB, (charter airport at Sanford), got press-ganged into that by wife's dumkopf brother, to save about £40.While not strictly speaking horrendous, on that flight there were quite a lot of excited kids on board, and slightly inebriated, but not obnoxious adults.
The thing that stuck in my mind, was on our return to Sanford to go home, the newspaper stand had nothing but British red tops, no Times, Independent, Telegraph, not even local papers like Tampa Tribune, or Orlando Sentinel.
That paper stand was definitely council!

Thoughts are with you Jon.
Same here Jon. I have friends who have severely disabled children and whilst their old hobbies have indeed ceased it wasn't indefinitely and while they are unlikely to ever get back to the level of involvement they had previously, they have been able to ease back into some areas (thinking car restoration) eventually and starting out light touch and going from thereNickbrapp said:

you miss the point is yes if you pedantic like everyone of ph you sell the bell, but as Big Ben has been used for donkeys to describe all three then it has come into use for all three,just like the English language evolves.
You may have missed it, but it's evolved into the use of punctuation as well now.generationx said:
