YOKEL 2,214 Posted September 7 Report Share Posted September 7 (edited) In answer to the original question, Dickensian at best, plenty of trauma from that shite, and not a family member am I in contact with. But you learn from it, and my daughter's have flourished from my understanding of how not to be. As a great man once said "our revenge will be the laughter of our children"....as for pewit, greb etc, the man's a hoot! Comedy gold, stop banning him! Give him his own section...

Aled 470 Posted September 7 Report Share Posted September 7 (edited) I was given a fair bit of freedom, i was allowed to cycle to the river at night to go sea trout fishing, and i had an air rifle which allowed me to go shooting. Also went beating regularly. I do however want to note that the things i am complaining about are very very mundane compared to what some of you went through so i cannot complain too much.

We did manage to land Sir Ranulph Fiennes 1 year who agreed to do a talk for far less than his labour norms. It was genuine charity stuff, for 2 good causes. John Parret was good 1 year, Andre Agassi died a death, Nookie Bear was hands down the best, far better than Roger De Courcey. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Best intentions with your sister but dealt with in the wrong way? Fishing, shooting and out and about in nature though, it has kept a lot of us sane and still does. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
