To be fair, it would be made documentary style if at all. However, I have to agree that these people are really really annoying, and I have started to believe that Maddie just ran away to avoid having to listen to any mopre of their absolute drivle.

me too!

I still can't get my head around the fact that they left little children all alone just to have dinner and get arseholed with friends. I have never ever and have never dreamt of leaving my kids alone when we have gone on holiday. If we had to go to a bar or restaurant and they got bored and irritable, we went out for a walk and find something for them to do afterwards or made arrangements that they were never left on their own. Im also wondering whether that if the mcCanns were ordinary working class people from a council estate they would have been villified for their actions.

I dunno, I got to spend all day tramping around the fields and woods around where I grew up from the age of about 6 onwards with no obsessive parental supervision and have memories of parents going to dinner at a neighbours house and checking on us regularly.

I bet most parents do and 99.999999999% of the time nothing happens. Of course we've absolutely no idea what happened, that might have happened, other things might have happened, but I'm really thinking more and more that Keef's theory could hold water.

I want a name for the annoying dad's that push their bratty sprogs about.


Not all dad's.


The ones who know about designer kids clothes and acccessorize their trendy tots to match their own designer wear.


All I could think of was faddy daddy, but I'm sure you lot could do better.

There?s a lot wrong with it if you are South African (I don't think we are really antipodeans)* Although I recently got mistaken for an englishman by a kiwi. This also bothered me. I'm a barefoot boer and proud of it. Dammit!



* Lighthearted banter you understand

I have had enough of people who try and act like, speak like or pretend to be from a different ethnic group other than their original one. Why? Asian boys trying to speak like Yardies, instead of being proud of their sikh, hindu or other heritages, or even white women who go out with black men and then think because they have had mixed race children with their partners think it left some black in them! And try to speak like and act like something they are not, you never or very rarely get this with women when they are in mixed relationships with any other nationality i.e. Asian etc. Why can't people just be themselves and stop being so pretentious and obnoxious.

    • Thanks for stating the bleeding obvious
    • Yes, they are intelligent ❤️ Various methods of deterring the foxes (aka stopping them coming and crapping on your lawn) have been suggested in this thread. If you don't want to try them, and prefer to keep clearing up the crap and complaining about it, well that's YOUR choice 🙄
    • Weather going to be hot from today thru to weekend so I hope all dog owners walk their pooches early in the morning or in the cool of the evening. Woofers can survive the odd day without going for walkies in the heat or having to race around with their pack in the heat. Try brain games with them around the house - hid treats for them to find, given them a kong..  Mental stimulation is as good and beneficial as walkies and does tire them out.     And whilst on the subject of heat and dogs, do remember that leaving a couple of windows open while you run into a shop etc to get groceries etc …. Is not good enough / the inside of a car obviously gets very very hot… and one could be delayed in ship, thru no fault of your own - meanwhile, your woofer is suffering.  Common sense really and if you are a new owner, probably really never thought it through ie walking dogs in heat or leaving them in car in heat. The majority of people on this site are caring, supportive people only offering advice, expressing concern when they see stupidity.  
    • Weirdly (well, weird as it happened very shortly after I had posted that) I got a notice the other day (the first time in the near enough twenty years since I joined the forum) telling me I had reached my limit of "reactions". I posted a screenshot on here. However I did not actually seem be prevented  from  making any more!   What is your purpose in doing that? This is a useful, long running and well loved (by me, anyway) local forum. It provides information on matters of local interest, an opportunity to easily sell or give away  unwanted things and buy or be given things you want, information on upcoming local events and interest groups. It is also a well moderated place to discuss both local and wider issues. And it is used by a variety of different kinds of people, as would be expected - we all have different personalities, experiences and opinions, and that's part of what makes the forum such a great local asset. Since rescuing the forum when the previous admin left - it could have disappeared altogether - Joe has put and continues to put an enormous amount of work into setting it up on a different platform (?) , maintaining it, and keeping it a safe and pleasant place for everyone using it. I'm sure you and others will correct me if I'm wrong, but it feels to me that dissecting "posters and their patterns" in the way you describe - presumably then to post the results on here?  - is just going to sow seeds of discord which could stop some people posting altogether and generally change the whole nature of the forum. I think that would be very sad, and I hope that that isn't your intention? Are you going to include your own posts in this? You have joined the forum relatively recently, and seem to be self-described as a "Pain".
