Pesky Kidz!!!

Just to clarify MY issue was that I live on a small road and there was about 20 teenagers, who don't live on the road screaming and shouting. I'd had a bad day and a headache at the time so it was just pi$$ing me off. The funny thing is that the kids were all friends of 2 sisters who's dad used to call the cops on EVERYBODY until his kids their teens!!!

I don't have a problem with them playing footie etc - as long as the ball isn't smacking off our car or my precious bike. If the ball comes over the back fence I usually just shout over are they looking for a foorball and then throw it over to them...

damage to your house from a football?
is it made of cardboard?

fair enough the hockey puck , hit hard enough and going straight at its head could injure a dog, but the kid would have to get into your garden to perform this shot.

i dont see how your not being uptight about this.

the kid'll get some friends and move into the filed at some point

You ever see a ball go through a window?? There are 3 on the side of the house plus brain pipes and sewarage pipes. The hockey puck is a hockey ball? accidents happen and he wouldnt need to be in the garden to hit the dog.

Who siad he is playing against the wall on his own??? I didnt.

you did when you said there was "a kid" who kicked his ball against your wall ... never mentioned anything about there being a group.

in all my years of playing football against walls, in gardens and on the street ive never seen a window smashed,
and that was in the old days with single layer cheapo glass in wooden frames,
none of this pvc double glazing

fair enough, i was thinking of how pucks travel, maybe the dog could be injured by a hickey ball, [never seen one that wasnt a light piece of plastic] but id be more worried about the windows by that.

it was brought up a few times that if he wasnt on his own hed play in a field and you never disc-credited the argument.

when your windows get smashed at halloween, you'll probably know the reasons.

Explain???? what exaclty have I dont wrong so far but warned the kid to be more careful and not run around to get the ball every time he kicks it ouver. trust me I could be a bigger asshole about it if I wanted to be. ie next time he wants his ball back get his parents to come around for it?

Also Cajun I think it was urself that said since when is it illegal to play in an estate? its not but it is illegal to play on a public highway ie the road itself. Might be getting pedantic but its true.

Cactus I apologise I did say a kid but there are times he is there with his sister or older brother aswell.

sorry read it as if you were thinking about reporting the kid for noise pollution, and coming down harder.

but come on, we used to go down the side of the road as kids all the time, an advantage to playing (as a group) against the side of a wall is that you don't have to running after the ball every 5 minutes as a goal is scored.

we had a field close by, but didn't usually go there when we were just having a game of heads and volleys or whatever.

When I was a kid we had a person in the neighbourhood from hell. We would play "Curbsies" or "Squares" (Don't ask me to explain). Anyway the ball would occasionally go into their front garden. They have a small wall and just grass (cut really short). You could walk in no problem and get the ball.

For some unknown reason one day they came out when the ball went into the garden and stuck a knife in it and then kept it. So at the time the parents were around to complain (not mine). They kept this up a lot until finally we moved one door down. Then the fun started.

They would sit outside on their wall and if a ball even wandered by onto the curb outside the house in it would go and get flattened. Shower of muppets. Add to that they were getting annoyed people cycling by their house on the curb that they built (I am not kidding) a moat. A huge ditch in the driveway part that required planks for them to get the car out. For everyone else walking by had to go onto the road (cul-de-sac so not a big issue).

Things came to a head when the next door neighbour was cleaning the car and the neighbours told him to stop it as some water was coming into their garden. He told them to F'off and proceeded to spray the car in such a way it drowned the muppets complaining to him. He went in to get something only to hear the neighbours mother kicking the crap out of the back door so he went upstairs and proceeded to dump a whole basin of water on her. It was hilarious.

She then went and had him charged for assault, which was as far as the rumour goes went against her. She got done for criminal damage and he couldn't be charged for assault because she was on his property when she was drowned.

No prob Cactus, I would never report a kid for something like that in a million years. Certainly dont want to be seen as the grumpy neighbours or cause an arguement with our neighbours we get on very well with next door and two doors up but they agree with us it would drive them mad. all I want to do is protect my property which includes my dog and I think that is fair.

Pesky Kidz!!!
