Not quite sure how you water down a box of Daz gel tablets, mind you....

You'll probably find it's even better than the standard stuff, a lot of the big packs are the stuff labelled "professional use only" or similar...
Means it still has the stuff in it that makes it actually work properly

You can if you have certain types of piercing down there.

Funeral procession trundled by the butty van at dinner time - not sure how council the butty van in, it's run by a local farm using their own produce... Anyway, I digress.....

The hearse was followed by a long line of badly modified cars, some blaring loud music with the windows down, St Georges and Chelsea FC flags waving, a couple of pop bang mapped Focus STs bouncing off the rev limter with a couple of motocross bikes wheelying at the back with tracksuit clad face covered scrotes with no helmets riding them.

What has happened to them? Where have they gone?

I remember during the New Labour years they were everywhere, I can't remember the last time I saw any*. Was that just a rogue-generation that have since grown up and graduated to prison? Perhaps modern drugs and games consoles are infinitely more captivating than their noughties equivalents, and they no longer leave the house?

  • Actually, two hooded stheads on a Sauron went past me on the canal recently stinking of skunk. They still exist. But they tend not to swarm as they used to, perhaps they're all off having adventures individually on their electric motorbikes...

The occupant of the coffin in the hearse was clearly a scrote, so it's not all bad.

Grown up? Dont be daft, they've just been busy procreating the next generation of scum. There's plenty in my area, out either enjoying their definitely road legal unsilenced dirtbikes, or kicking the windows out of the bus shelter across the road to the cheers of their like-minded scummy brethren....

You've reminded me....

I live in a less than salubrious area but near to a quite large playing field. A couple of weeks ago in the evening, my street and the neighbouring ones were suddenly lined with about 100 cars abandoned in all sorts of places (including one right across the bottom of my neighbour's drive.
I could see the top of a bouncy castle on the playing field and hear some obnoxious thumping techno music drifting across, then as the sun began to set there followed an extremely obnoxious, literally 20-minute barrage of fireworks - not even decent ones, just the same rockets over and over again.
I assumed there must have been some sort of mini fete going on, but it all seemed very odd.
As I had nipped outside for something during the fireworks, I caught a tracksuit-clad young couple sauntering back to the car abandoned across my neighbours drive, and inquired as to what was happening, and they replied "our mate died recently so we were honoring him". No apology for the parking, of course.

Why do I somehow doubt that said huge gathering of similar folk had any sort of permission from, or indeed prior knowledge of, the local authorities? I particularly felt sorry for the residents whos houses physically bordered the playing field....

Not wanting to be harsh - I get wanting to do something to honour a friend dying suddenly at a young age, and I'm going to politely assume the death in question was a genuine tragedy rather than an act of Darwin - but normally one would release some balloons and then retire to a pub.....

They wouldn't know honour if it jumped up and kicked them in the teeth.

Bigger narrative thumbup


“ Before he was shot dead by police he had numerous court convictions, was once referred to as a “one-man crime wave”, and could count his own grandmother among those he ripped off. “

I might have to rethink my definition of "council".

I lived in a couple of council flats as a child, then we moved to a council house when I was 16. My parents bought the council house a few years later. I moved out and lived in a Development Corporation flat of my own. I didn't buy my first house until I was 27.
I guess my family is "council done good".

I was taking a walk down memory lane via Google Streetview yesterday, looking at the first council flat we lived in from 1962 to 1967. Not a bad place - we actually had an inside toilet and a bath for the first time! Just off Lower Clapton Road in London. A lot of it looked familiar. Although the Estate had been refurbed in the 1980's, the basic layout of the blocks was the same as I remembered. My primary school was still there, but surrounded by new build houses.

I Googled the Estate to find out about the refurb, and some Zoopla "sold" listings popped up. A 3 bed flat in the block we lived in sold recently for £435k.
That's more than my 4 bed detached in Cornwall is worth.
