I wish they would........... .........but there wouldn't be much point, though............ ............the nearest house is 200 metres away.......
I hope New Year will be a better time for you It is hard - makes you want to retreat to your own desert island At least in the summer you can bugger off on the bike ;p even if it does mean leaving them in the castle Other people's kids heh
Only one original member left in the group now I believe, been going since 1969. This Youtube clip is when they played locally in January this year at The Hideaway Jazz club in South London, had I known they were there I would have gone to see them as I have been to the club a few times for gigs and comedy club events.
I was also playing Canned Heat............. ........probably just as well it wasn't Foo Fighters or Queens of The Stone Age........ .....but now that I have just thought that............ ......and everyone has buggered off................
Classic example of "knows the cost of everything and the value of f*ck all..." I don't like children at the best of times, but I detest precocious, spoilt brats !
Children, especially girls, can have an incredible capacity for manipulation and vindictiveness. Far worse than anything adults can come up with. The step-child form hell is a tough adversary. Its heads they win, tails you lose.
Bloody kids,eh... Not just them though is it? Plenty of adults I wouldn't want to spend a day with,trapped in the house and forced to endure,"festivities". Next time,(if there is one),say nothing.. just turn the volume to 11,stare down the little horror and bait the little brat with a ,"go on then,what are you going to do about it",smirk. I don't have kids,(far too selfish to want to share my toys),so if they piss me off I just go out of my way to wind the little feckers up. Kids can't comprehend an adult acting the way a kid does,so I have a 100% success rate,they get so confused and scared they don't even want to talk to me. Bit of a minor thing though,in comparison to your recent travails? Best wishes for the New Year
Sadly children don't come fitted with volume or opinion controls. So you have to learn to find ways around these major design flaws.
Children don't come with a manual, so my wife & I drew on the very positive experiences from our respective parents. We established rules, boundaries & limitations from day one, and always remained consistent whilst maintaining a strong loving environment. We also encouraged them & praised them for positive actions. Our daughters were never perfect, but then neither are we. But we are immensely proud of both of them as they have forged good careers and nice relationships.
Hahaha no,this world is only big enough for one of each of us,Al. Funny thing is,all the parents I know swear I'd make an excellent father. I think it's because their horrible sprogs are so well behaved when they go home after visiting me. Traumatised ,but... well behaved...
Many years ago, a close friend of mine came to visit with wife and 5 year old daughter. I remember the daughter being insufferable. She picked up soil from the plant pots which she flung around my flat, stamped her foot and shouted "I want to go home!". Some 15 years later she is a Cambridge graduate with a 1st class degree, totally laid back and a complete hoot, as well as being very attractive. She is by far my favourite of all my friends' offspring. So there is hope yet!
