Going by the comments on this and other threads I am a terrible uncle and general all-round awful person.

Thankfully that is the view of the morally superior on AB and not my nephews and nieces.

Oh hang on, I've dropped a clanger there haven't I ... I'm sorry but I don't know the collective non-gender name for them.

it's your siblings' children you wally ;)

Your choice Talbot: sidespring, niecephew or nephiece.

I quite like "sidespring".

I best break it to some of them that I'm not a real uncle to them as their mother or father is my wife's relative and not mine.

I think the child is 3 years old, hardly a " cross dresser " !!!

[ummmm]

No...probably just loves a certain Disney film.

[murraymints]

cold never bothered me anyway !

[anneasquith]

Exactly ummm, its what children do.

[Islay]

Its what children do and they don't need a so called uncle putting them down over it!

[Deskdiary]

We have a good looking young man at the absolute pinnacle of his career who is worth hundreds of millions of pounds, and therefore he's an easy target for keyboard warriors.

The uproar is of weapons grade stupidity.

[murraymints]

yup... bit of uncle..young nephew joshing..nothing more.... meant as kindly banter... but as you say DD...

[anneasquith]

Islay, I believe there has been a complete over reaction to this episode, but I don't find it necessary or important enough to disagree too much with abers .

[Islay]

Its hardly acceptable behaviour from an adult - but I suppose everyone has different ideas of what is acceptable - I suppose its their upbringing that's in question if they consider this acceptable!

So now Hamilton's parents are the problem.

All of Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton’s Instagram posts have been deleted, just days after he was criticised for a video he uploaded to the social media platform.

on the plus side, hasn't Mr H become a vegan to save the planet?

He really shouldn't have put that comment on the tinterweb.

[douglas9401]

He'll have to do more than eat sprouts n tofu to offset burning 100kg of fuel in two hours and using scarce resources to make his car supreme.

That's not a criticism as such, I'm a fan, but his planet saving may have been slightly overstated. :-)

And that's only his Company car, douglas. He owns several super
(hyper) cars that ain't to light on the juice either.
