Lucky feckers.

I am looking for that stuff for to put on a laneway to my house. If you spray old diesel on top of it, it helps to reactivate the tar in it and then you can roll it together with a vibrating roller and it will stick together lovely!!

What's the difference between old diesel and new diesel.

Try putting 5 year old diesel from a metal tank into your tractor to see the difference. I was suggesting that it was a great way of using it up as opposed to buying new diesel to spray on it :eek:

Its an awful dose , I hope it gets sorted quick .
Kids can be cruel to one another without knowing , but its up to the parents to tell them whats right and wrong . Unfortunately alot of parents these days dont care

11, not like him to react like he did, which makes me think there might be something to it rather than regular run of the mill rowing that kids do be at.

Have the feelers out now to figure out what's going on first before I make an eejit of myself. Just off the phone with the principal and my sister has a kid going there so will get him to keep his ears and eyes open.

Playground politics, you'd want to be in your health :eek:

Let him grow a pair before you squeeze him. Easy for me to say with no kids yet. But if he has trouble with his peers he has to figure that sh*t out for himself. What place has daddy taken on a 12 year old or less??

.

I agree with your second sentence No offense Muckit, but there's more to the situation.

Look sorry. I came across a bit rude and harsh there. I'm sure if l was in the situation I'd be doing the same as you. Apologies again. Forget my last post

No bother, I understood the point you were making and to a degree agree with it. Sometimes intervention is needed, not all kids are equal when it comes to defending themselves and when this type of stuff gets out of hand it can affect them negatively. That is what I want to prevent, not wrap him up in cotton wool at all, there'll always be rough and tumble and rows but he's new to that school so it's tough enough for him.

My sambos were getting stolen in school once and the grandfather was trying to teach me how to box to stand up for myself . I was useless at boxing and my father told him to stop teaching me how to be a thug !
He snuck me away anyhow and said if you cant box its no bother . He gave me a long stick and told me to wait inside a gate till the boyo was cycling past and aim to put it into the spokes of the front wheel .
I did the deed anyhow and sent the boyo head over heals , the poor fecker never took my sambos again .
Moral is if the grandfather didnt get me to stand up to him the only way I was able he would probably still be 'atin my lunch but id never have managed him on my own or figured out ways of doing it in the future either

I'd be first in the Q telling our fella to line up the biggest of them and wallop him between the eyes as hard as he could, if it was when you and I were in school. Problem now is he'd be seen as the bad guy and he'd be put in a worse position as the bullies would know they can make up stories about him and have a good chance of being believed.

in our case it was going on years , i had had enough and when my lad said he wanted to die, i had to step in, little fooker(the bully) , my lad ended up having to go to counselling and now he is a totally different chap than this time last year, awful worrying time:mad::mad:

I can imagine, awful thing for any child or person to be driven to say. Exactly why I want to nip this BS in the bud here. This sort of craic can lead to the Depression thread on here or remember them sisters I think in Donegal. Kids are under a lot of pressure now compared to when I was in school.
