I bet they weren't expecting the reaction they got - you look like you wouldn't say boo to a goose. I can just imagine the choice language you would have treated them to. Well done
Why thank you bevvy!
Actually I was very nice to them.
Anyway, young people these days should really learn to behave - especially where I live it's starting to get out of control. I'm getting really fed up of it. The other day we had a group of weirdfilm aged boys come in and throw our stuff around in a designated children's area. They thought it was acceptable.
Of course they weren't in the building for long when I dealt with them...

Damn f***ing right Beate.
I was awfully kind. Just like I was with the snowballers.
To be fair, they had it coming a) they shouldn't have been there - they were lucky I allowed their presence b) there were vulnerable children there (under the age of 5). I will NEVER allow a threat to be present in front of a young child while I am around. And that's NEVER. They are defenceless. The child in this case was only 2.

Even an unwell a_person is a force to be reckon with
If you have little brothers or sisters, they must feel very safe having a big protective sister like you!
Valda, so sorry to read about those bullies. What goes round comes round and they will get what's coming to them one day...such as crossing a_person's path!

So sorry to hear about all your troubles, guys. They will get their comeuppance. I know how disrespectful some of my teenage peers can be sometimes, but we're not all like that!
Go ahead, make my day - by visiting my blog:

Member number 33 of the "100 free films in 2011" club. I saw 20, interestingly enough. My more realistic target was to see more free films than TheyCallMeMrGlass. I lost.

Snow can be great for the children and looks pretty from the warmth of the living room but some people just go too far. Sorry to hear about the trouble some of us are having.
OH had to go to Swansea on the M4. Motorway was mainly clear BUT on the way back he pulled over to let out a lorry, when a sheet of ice came off the top and smashed into the windscreen. Luckily it held but the screen is crazed and will need replacing. I have never seen him this shaken before.
Bang goes £75 just before Christmas. Have been very nice to him, letting him play with his new brewing kit, just to calm his nerves you understand......hic

That must have been hideous for him, hope he's ok now.

I know the majority are as lovely as you are; its sad that the odd few can behave so badly and give you all a bad name which is not deserved.
