I was born in West Belfast in 1960 and violence there, at that time in particular, was very common, so I suppose you could say that on a scale of 1-10 of the things I have seen this rates about -25.
With regards to the little girl- the teacher was an adult and a bully, and I am not a perfect man by a long margin, so yes I would have struggled to control my temper, as I believe I stated. I'm honest enough to stand by that.
Why is that important and the cyclist situation trivial? Because the one scenario presented a child who was abused by someone who was supposed to take of her and the other was a cyclist, an adult male, who did nothing to calm the situaiton down, in fact only antagonised matters.
I'm sorry we don't agree on this being crime of the century, to you it's important, to me it's a non event- I don't care what you think so why does it bother you so much what I think? Just let it go.... people have different opinions on lots of things.

Fairy muff.

West Belfast, 1960 eh? There's a chance our paths have crossed......!

[NOX]

I daresay they have Phil ;-) Did you do a tour there then?

[Philtaz]

Did mine in the 80's (3 tours) and absolutely loved the place, best posting I ever had. Will go back and have a look at the old haunts one day......

in Texas, many carry a gun in the glove compartment ......easy way of handling road rage and the shootings do happen.

NOX, apologies if I was a bit vociferous earlier on this subject, had a similar experience once but was unable to get the number of the 'white van man' responsible so was probably venting my frustration about it on here!
No hard feelings.

[NOX]

Definately crossed then Phil:) It's changed a bit, Divis Flats have been gone for a good while and now they're doing guided tours for groups of British tourists;-)
I don't enjoy going back there much prefer my life as it is now.

[NOX]

No hard feelings at all, I agree with you the bloke in the car was an utter muppet, but you know how it goes...:-)

[ummmm]

I feel a song coming on NOX ;-) x

[NOX]

Nice how we've kissed and made up isn't it? ;-)

[Philtaz]

A song? I remember once having had one too many in the barracks UDR bar. There was a guy playing a guitar who halfway through his act opened it up to requests.

It went down like a whicker canoe when I asked him if he would play 'Danny Boy'!

[ummmm]

Hahahahaha

[NOX]

Could have been worse, you could have asked for ' Kevin Barry' ;-)

[ummmm]

My mate is called Kevin Barry....bane of his life.

[NOX]

Jeeez I bet it is Ummm, my eldest lad is called Danny and the Danny Boy references drive him nuts, but Kevin Barry is something else...lol

Kinell! You turn your back for a day and what happens - marriage, first falling-out and making up again....
"take him for a drink up the Falls" crimes I thought this was a euphemism I had never come across......
Well I'm glad we're all mates again and thanks to you all for your lively exchanges.
