Expect a call from the social services at any moment, they are concerned about you.

Bizarre


A children's birthday party in the evening.


Never in 11 years as a parent, has either of my children been to a children's birthday party in the evening.


Never.


Maybe we lead sheltered lives.



NETTE:-S

This awful woman seems to have started a trend, and at least two more persons have been captured in full poisonous rant mode and have been posted on youtube. The worrying thing is that those sitting or standing by these "people" chose to say next to nothing, and not one appears to call the Police to report these vile excuses for human beings. Have we really become so apathetic?

When I watched the video, I didn't see a woman who was drunk or high on anything......it looked to me as though some kind of row had started for whatever reason (with another passenger) and the woman turned to the most extreme form of insult she could think of (racial abuse). That in no way condones what she said of course but we see that all the time.....someone gets into a row, loses their temper and then says things that are meant to hurt.


We don't see from the video how the incident started for example. I suspect it wasn't some ad hoc random rant but precipitated by something between the two passengers. That doesn't excuse, but also doesn't say to me that she should have her child taken away either. If we removed the child from every parent that expresses an unpalatable view then we'd have a bigger crisis of children in care than we already do.

The only observable trend is of newpapers all flogging the same story, messageboarders following it, and subsequent buttons being pressed ad lib.


And even that's not really a trend, it happens all the time. I think there are some boards that can more or less subsist on posting the day's Daily Mail story URLs as thread starters.

Sorry I can't have a parent being allowed to have custody of a child after launching into to a rant especially when this person is obviously drunk, medicated or both. Apart from her noxious views she puts herself, and her child at risk. Responsible parenting?

Hanging is too good for her. Take her down. Next YouTube clip please.

So you think she's a responsible, fit and proper person to bring up a child do you? Next social worker applicant please.

I think nothing about her. I know next to nothing about her. I have not seen the video. I would not dare to make anything but the most provisional and inconsequential of judgements of her even if I had watched it. I am glad that any authorities entrusted to make any significant decisions about her or her children will do so only after consideration of all available evidence and of all possible courses of action, and that any decisions about children will have their overall well-being as the main concern.

You mean like they did in the case of Baby P? A lot of words for someone who thinks "nothing" of this person.

Parkdrive: "Sorry I can't have a parent being allowed to have custody of a child after launching into to a rant especially when this person is obviously drunk, medicated or both".


And what would you like to do with the 10's of thousands of children you've just removed from their ("drunk, medicated or both") parents ?

    • That is also a Young's pub, like The Cherry Tree. However fantastic the menu looks, you might want to ask exactly who will cook the food on the day, and how. Also, if  there is Christmas pudding on the menu, you might want to ask how that will be cooked, and whether it will look and/or taste anything like the Christmas puddings you have had in the past.
    • This reminds me of a situation a few years ago when a mate's Dad was coming down and fancied Franklin's for Christmas Day. He'd been there once, in September, and loved it. Obviously, they're far too tuned in to do it, so having looked around, £100 per head was pretty standard for fairly average pubs around here. That is ridiculous. I'd go with Penguin's idea; one of the best Christmas Day lunches I've ever had was at the Lahore Kebab House in Whitechapel. And it was BYO. After a couple of Guinness outside Franklin's, we decided £100 for four people was the absolute maximum, but it had to be done in the style of Franklin's and sourced within walking distance of The Gowlett. All the supermarkets knock themselves out on veg as a loss leader - particularly anything festive - and the Afghani lads on Rye Lane are brilliant for more esoteric stuff and spices, so it really doesn't need to be pricey. Here's what we came up with. It was considerably less than £100 for four. Bread & Butter (Lidl & Lurpak on offer at Iceland) Mersea Oysters (Sopers) Parsnip & Potato Soup ( I think they were both less than 20 pence a kilo at Morrisons) Smoked mackerel, Jerseys, watercress & radish (Sopers) Rolled turkey breast joint (£7.95 from Iceland) Roast Duck (two for £12 at Lidl) Mash  Carrots, star anise, butter emulsion. Stir-fried Brussels, bacon, chestnuts and Worcestershire sauce.(Lidl) Clementine and limoncello granita (all from Lidl) Stollen (Lidl) Stichelton, Cornish Cruncher, Stinking Bishop. (Marks & Sparks) There was a couple of lessons to learn: Don't freeze mash. It breaks down the cellular structure and ends up more like a French pomme purée. I renamed it 'Pomme Mikael Silvestre' after my favourite French centre-half cum left back and got away with it, but if you're not amongst football fans you may not be so lucky. Tasted great, looked like shit. Don't take the clementine granita out of the freezer too early, particularly if you've overdone it on the limoncello. It melts quickly and someone will suggest snorting it. The sugar really sticks your nostrils together on Boxing Day. Speaking of 'lost' Christmases past, John Lewis have hijacked Alison Limerick's 'Where Love Lives' for their new advert. Bastards. But not a bad ad.   Beansprout, I have a massive steel pot I bought from a Nigerian place on Choumert Road many years ago. It could do with a work out. I'm quite prepared to make a huge, spicy parsnip soup for anyone who fancies it and a few carols.  
    • Nothing to do with the topic of this thread, but I have to say, I think it is quite untrue that people don't make human contact in cities. Just locally, there are street parties, road WhatsApp groups, one street I know near here hires a coach and everyone in the street goes to the seaside every year! There are lots of neighbourhood groups on Facebook, where people look out for each other and help each other. In my experience people chat to strangers on public transport, in shops, waiting in queues etc. To the best of my knowledge the forum does not need donations to keep it going. It contains paid ads, which hopefully helps Joe,  the very excellent admin,  to keep it up and running. And as for a house being broken into, that could happen anywhere. I knew a village in Devon where a whole row of houses was burgled one night in the eighties. Sorry to continue the off topic conversation when the poor OP was just trying to find out who was open for lunch on Christmas Day!
    • We went to Chern Thai for lunch on Saturday, as we have done quite often, and they were closed, with no sign of life. The sign in the window still says Saturday 12-3, and there was no indication that they would be closed. Can anybody shed any light? We went to Chilli and Garlic on Zenoria Street instead. Their falafel salad bowl is amazing (and amazing value!) but we had been looking forward to a Pad Thai and a pint of Singha! ETA: I am reviving this thread because it is/was  specifically about Chern Thai's opening times!
