Fight in Sainsbury's DKH (Lounged)

[Horsebox]

An obvious solution to this problem is to have designated days when children are permitted in the store (accompanied of course), say, monday, wednesday, friday. All other days are for the benefit of responsible adults only. If it proves successful and popular (no doubt that it will) then it could become local policy and the zone then extended to cover Lordship Lane and eventually all pubs in ED.

[DaveR]

Another obvious solution would be for anti-social f&ckers to go shop somewhere else

[NunheadGirl]

...and as a parent I have to say I will go to extrodinary lengths in order to avoid shopping with children, let alone the husband, the faster I can get in and out the better...assuming I have to even frequent the demon supermarkets in the first place!

Is that not a tad harsh? I have to say, I agree with Blueone on this one. Why does a whole familly need to go to the supermarket together? Hardly a fun day out is it.

I'm also sick of seeing people wheeling screaming kids around whilst chatting on mobile phones and ignorning thier offspring. I'm not a maternal person, but the child is obviously crying because it needs/wants something?

[Jimbob]

nah its far from a bit harsh, the original poster seems to suggests that the presence of other persons namely families in local supermarkets is a great hinderence and inconvenience to him and that it is no place for them to be. as a father of two my kids like going to do the shopping with me and the wife, gives them a chance to look around and have a bit of input as to what food etc will be bought for that week,occasionally bump into a few school friends, and it also forms a bit of life experience for them. he points out "i would like to think that for a healthy,functional society here is room for people to make some allowances for how their choices affect the people they are sharing their space with?". maybe he would like to apply that principle to his own behaviour and be aware that there are others out there who have the choice and right to bring their kids shopping/to the park/cinema/pub/restaurant and that the world doesn,t revolve around him and his selfish attitude.

Oh but IT IS a great day out for all the family. Once we've pulled up in disabled bay (parents ones full) we let the kids run riot annoying other shoppers whilst the wife and I catch up and relax over a nice cold Chocaolate Mocha Frappuccino. Security and floor staff are great child minders. Then its off to the Tu section to try out the latest fashions whilst the kids pull stuff of the shelves. Finally when they tire out, we grab a bag off crisps, smoothies and handful of grapes to keep them quiet whilst we fill the trolley and catch up with friends on our mobs. Beats the park or sitting in front of the TV and you get Nectar points too.

So the thread started off about a gang of youths setting about one boy, now it's degenerated into a melee of slanging, sarcasm and swearing. I just hope that none of the youths involved visit this thread, it'll set them a terrible example.

Honestly certain people should be ashamed of themselves.

[lozzyloz]

Sorry H I was trolleyed, don't know what came over me.

[pk]

as it's so hard to tell when someone's joking and when they're not on a forum, i'm never sure whether people suggesting e.g. that it's inappropriate to take children to the supermarket are 'joking' or whether they are really selfish sour pusses

[Clinker]

Let me tell you of one of my few visits to sanies.

My boyfriend was waiting for ages to pull out of one of the parking spaces. There was a big queue because it was Christmas time. This absolute trollop of a woman was so quick to close up the gap for fear the boyfriend would come out of the parking space. She was very brazen about it too, looking at us all smug like, that she went into the back of the car in front of her. I had the last laugh and I rolled down the window so she was sure to hear me.

Is a clinker a small piece of poo that clings to an anal hair?

Just asking loike!

I think the moral of this thread is that people are mostly cunts!

[Clinker]

No, I think you're thinking of a dingle-berry? A Clinker, according to google is:

Hardened volcanic lava; A scum of oxide of iron formed in forging; A very hard brick used for paving customarily made in the Netherlands; One who clinks or an item that clinks, hence fetters are also called clinkers; Clink, derived from clinch, hence one who clinches or that clinches

It also was my dogs name...B)

[ratty]

Ahhhh - clinker, winnit, tagnut and dangleberry all meant the same to me as a nipper! :)

[Banksy]

Round one to Ratty.

"Clinker n. Difficult to remove poo particles. a.k.a toffee strings, winnets, kling-ons, dangleberries, bum conkers."

or bead curtains, mud buttons.

Apologies - will stop now.

As this has gone wildly off topic it is time to move it to the Lounge.

[Administrator]

It was the bum conkers that did it

Can the above post be put forward for oddest amdin post of the year please?

[candj]

Oh this is gross. I was going to write to support what Jimbob said, but I can't compete with this conversation as I haven't read Viz in about a million years...

Isn't 'dag' an Aussie word for the same, except that it applied to the sh!t-smeared strands of wool round a sheep's arse.
