    I'm looking forward to the AGM, can't believe it's coming round so quickly. I really don't think I can talk about my week on a public board, but let's just say it's close to a parent's nightmare, 10 year old daughter and her best friend's dad. Not as serious as it could have been but still enough to have her a pshychological mess, refusing to leave the house etc. Crappy crappy week.

    All's ok as it can be considering the police can do f all (no actual crime was committed so they tell me) other than get social services to investigate.

    So, we sit here watching life go on as usual over the road, nice bunch of flowers in the window, presumably an apology to the wife. They're doing their garden up nicely and I can watch all of this from my living room, accompanied by the sound of my daughter sobbing. The police woman came out and told me to deal with it how I saw fit, you should have seen her face when I went into the kitchen and came out with a meat cleaver.

    Hi Mikey,

    Long time no contact, hope the new motor's running ok. Managed to get moved over the long weekend but very tiresome; we have so much junk, I don't think we've thrown anything out for the last 30yrs :rotfl:

    Will soon be the 28th and we'e both looking forward to a weekend away from the madness that is life as we currently know it.

    Jees.. Its hard to know what to say ! I hope the other neighbours will get to know !

    Jims neice was 'victim' only last month, with a man that shared the house with her dad (jims sis and hubby split)!! Jims sister called the police and all sorts... no evidence !! It is disgusting.. Really really disgusting.

    Hi Toto,

    That sounds a nasty experience, we were always paranoid about that sort of thing when our children were younger; I certainly understand the meat cleaver mentality.

    Sooooo sorry to hear that, Toto. This !!!!!! should never be allowed within a mile of any kids again. No "crime" in law does not help your little un.

    I think I would make sure that it became public knowledge that " an incident" had taken place involvng said neighbour and A.N.OTHER..................................................................................................................................................... failing that I can send the boys round...:D
