Under Age Laws

it's not the age, it's the attitude and 95% haven't got it.

Isn't there a bit of a contradiction there?

"can be", maybe?

That's exactly WHY I gave up being a TA. Even at the tender age of 4 and a half the kids know you can't really do anything about their bad behaviour, except send them to the head teacher. There's NO respect left at all. I couldn't believe their terrible attitudes to adults at such a young age.
In my day...........

Yeah, soz, I said that. I meant the attitude wasn't a concious thing. Not any detriment to them as such, just that they're keen in a festive way they wouldn't be at a different age.

Too much Lara Lara Laffs a la Cilla?

I half or more know what you're saying. Even kids a couple of years below me are absolute shits like you wouldn't believe

I understand the principle but it's bloomin' annoying when you forget ID. I once got away with it because I hadn't shaved for weeks and stooped a little.

Wouldn't stooping make you look smaller?

Older and more world weary.

Only pubs for 16 year olds, obviously, we don't want them being obnoxious in our pubs. But trying to stop it just isn't going to work.

So what's the solution then?
My 16 year old, shortly to be 17 at the end of this month, is getting into the swing of going to the beach with his mates on a Friday night now, where one of the mums regularly buys one of them a whole load of cans and bottles of cider and they have a kitty. What can be done about that?

Do they kick their cat around afterwards?

Teach him to drink sensibly, have respect and not to go OTT.

I did that at 16 and my mum threw my stereo out of the window.

That learned me so it did.

I'm not sure anything should, really. As long as they're out of the way, I'm all for getting drunk at 16 and 17 and having a laugh. How the hell else are you supposed to talk to girls?

Preferably with cages.

You could facebook and IM them.

Actually reminds me of a time when my friends and I got rat arsed in a pub and all started on the pouches of cat food one of them had bought in their shopping
Good times!

Could you be more yokel?

She could wear a straw hat?

I reckon she's actually Phil from Time Team

Funnily enough....I went on my son's Bebo account and discovered he's got the hots for a girl called Daisy. There's a photo of her and she's got a piercing under her bottom lip.

Is she fit?

Well, I remember her from the infants and she's certainly blossomed......

Does she look just like you otherwise? (errr, apart form the piercing, that is ..)

My friend has that. He can squirt liquid out of it. Very amusing after a few.......

It might be a poor reflection on your boy if she hadn't changed.

Yes, I told him about the expression "pacing yourself" just after he'd thrown up on the way home after the first session.
