  • The Great Debate On Parent Parking Cleared Up

    This debate was kicked off again today.. so okay, ONE. MORE. TIME. FOR. THE. PEOPLE. AT. THE. BACK…

    Parent and child spaces don’t exist because parents are entitled/lazy. They exist so a parent can get their kid out of their car safely, without reducing the car next to them to scrap.

    And they are placed near the store because in, a civilised society, most of us agree that it’s a good thing to reduce the risk of children running around the modern busy car park like its fucking Chessington World Of Adventures.

    I realise for some this is complicated..

    ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

    1. “Rubbish, we didn’t have parent and baby spaces back in my day… “

    ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

    …This is an odd point of view given that, that argument can also be made for antibiotics, women’s voting rights, the combustion engine, indoor plumbing, space travel, Luther, opposable thumbs, monster munch and shoes.

    ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

    Oh yeah, and the internet.. a place where you can share your shit opinion and have it demolished by anyone whose brain receives oxygen.

    ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

    2. “But, in my day, we managed..”

    …I’m sure you did, when cars were fewer, cars were smaller, spaces were larger, and you could get a bottle of ginger beer and a caramac and still have half a crown left to buy some johnnies. Look, times have changed. Not least because we now have something called ‘Health and Safety’ which means Isofix, and car-seats the size of a fucking armchair.

    So you can be nostalgic for the good old days, when your children didn’t even have to wear seatbelts, but those days are gone.. It’s partly the reason why there are more of these kids making it to adulthood, actually, Barbara.

    3. “But disabled spaces are more important”.

    Yes. Of course they are. Nobody is saying otherwise. But it’s not either/or is it?

    4. “Why should those who ‘breed’ get benefits that I don’t. Whinge whinge. etc.”

    Look,.. people have all kinds of benefits that you don’t.. low blood pressure and some fucking empathy for a start.

    And.. even if you don’t have kids the chances are you were one once. It’s True. Two people in the dim past made the monumental mistake of combining their DNA and creating someone as selfish and small-minded as you. So stop being a cock about something that keeps the next generation a little bit safer and maybe, god forbid, makes someone else’s day a little bit easier. Because, it doesn’t really affect you does it, you massive dick.

    ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

    Hope that clears that up… Now can we all just get along?

  • Come And Look After Your Turkey Before We Kill It

    Greendale Farm shop has caused uproar after posting the following on their Facebook page

    “Come and pick your own Christmas Turkey at the farm shop. We will put a name tag on it and you come and feed it and help look after it for the next two months. You will not need to get involved in any of the difficult bits at the end and we will even bone and stuff it for you when you come and pick it up, in time for Christmas”

    Below the post were several pictures of different turkeys which seemed to shock Facebook users.

    Genna Davies commented “How much to rescue the turkey and keep it alive” However Darren Taylor had other ideas and replied to Davies with “For every turkey you save I will kill and eat two more”, obviously then a whole internet debate about meat and lives went on, ultimately lots of people were offended and no body agreed. several people were left butt hurt and contacted the Facebook police!

    Another Facebook user named Mary J Kirsch said “with eyes to see she is able to feel pain and pleasure, to have friends and enjoy life. Give thanks to a truly peaceful and compassionate way of being and leave animals off your plate. Cruelty free Christmas dinner is delicious and easy to find 1000’s of recipes online for all your traditional favourites without animals”. Darren Taylor couldn’t scroll passed and had to comment he said “Turkey wont feel a thing as she sits on my plate with the spuds and stuffing”.

    What are your views would you pick out your live turkey, name it and even visit it and feed it, before having it killed and prepared for your Christmas meal?

  • Mums Punishment Causes Heated Debates

    Cierra Brittany Forney’s post has caused heated debates on social media after she shared how she punished her son.

    Forney said “So lately, my 13-year-old son had been acting a little… entitled. Acting like he’s too good to shop at Wal-Mart or making snarky comments about kids at school who shop at the goodwill and quite a few other things. I don’t tolerate that.

    Today, he took his own 20.00 to the goodwill to buy clothes to wear the entire week to school. Whatever he found is what he would have to wear. He isn’t happy and shed a few tears but I firmly believe in 15 years he will look back and laugh at the day his Mom made him shop at goodwill. I want to teach my kids that money isn’t everything and if you have to degrade other people because of where they shop, then you too will shop there. Side note, I love the goodwill!!”.

    Some people thought the punishment was perfect and that it will teach him kindness and compassion and a great life lesson, whilst many others thought it wrong to share the photo to social media, classing it as a kind of bullying and a permanent reminder that may haunt this boy for years to come.

    Carrie owens “This is animal abuse I hope you get your horse taken away from you, horses are not for drawing on”

  • 13 Reasons Why Should Be Banned

    The Netflix series 13 Reasons Why is causing heated debates over the rape scene of Tyler.

    In the episode Tyler is attacked in the boys bathroom and is raped with a broom handle.

    Kirsty Dawn said ” I don’t understand how they can air that, it is very disturbing and as the series is aimed at teenagers I personally think is sick, the creators should be ashamed of themselves, and it should be banned”.

    Carrie Chapel disagrees “YES what happened on the last episode was graphic.

    BUT everyone is kicking off, saying it should be cut off and no more seasons because of that 1 mins and few seconds of that bit.

    I didn’t see anyone going to this limit when it showed you Hannah been sexually assaulted in the hot tub…

    So why because it’s happening to a man? What’s the difference, why shouldn’t it be shown and spoken about?

    I honestly just can’t get my head around it, it’s bringing awareness that it DOES happen to men more than anyone even realises not just women and it shows that things affect your life in so many different ways!

    People need to realise rape is fucking RAPE and is totally disgusting and not acceptable no matter what sex you are!”.

    What are your vies should there be a third season? Did the writers go too far? or do you feel it is raising awareness of male rape?

    Approximately 85,000 women and 12,000 men are raped in England and Wales alone every year; that’s roughly 11 rapes (of adults alone) every hour. These figures include assaults by penetration and attempts, In 2012-13, 22,654 sexual offences against under-18s were reported to police in England and Wales, Only around 15% of those who experience sexual violence choose to report to the police.

    Approximately 90% of those who are raped know the perpetrator prior to the offence.

    These figures come from An Overview of Sexual Offending in England and Wales, the first ever joint official statistics bulletin on sexual violence released by the Ministry of Justice (MoJ), Office for National Statistics (ONS) and Home Office in January 2013.

  • My Son Was Nearly Run Over By A Bus But They Blame me

    My son Tommy is three years old and a bit of a handful but such a sweet kind boy, my one and only child.

    Yesterday after leaving the cinema we walked to the bus station to get the bus home.

    Tommy was restless after having sat still in the cinema for so long and having had a pick and mix plus a large orangeade so was running around and burning off some excess energy and sugar high.

    As it was Sunday service the buses weren’t as frequent as usual so Tommy was getting bored, he kept running around and  knocking into people so I had to tell him off and asked him to stand still.

    Tommy stomped off and leant against a double-decker bus which had just pulled up at the bus station.

    The bus was parked there for no more than two minutes when it began to pull away.

    Tommy fell under the bus and his head was right by the back wheel, luckily I managed to pull him out in the nick of time before he was ran over, his head was literally inches away from the wheel, I was obviously very upset and shaken up but stayed calm for Tommy.

    Finally our bus arrived and I complained to the driver about the previous bus nearly killing my boy and explained that the driver should have checked his mirrors before pulling away as he could have killed my little boy.

    I was expecting him to be appalled at the drivers actions but I was shocked by the drivers response he said “well maybe you should watch your son and not blame others”.

    Now not only was I still in shock I was angry and upset, I sent an email to the bus company and am awaiting a reply how can they blame my child or me the driver should have looked after all it is his job to ensure people are safe.

  • Mums Anger At School Book 

    Are people reading more into things than necessary now days? Do people really get so offended and upset by the little things in life? 

    One woman took to Twitter to display her utter disgust at her 4 year old daughters school reading book.


    A nice innocent reading book? But wait til you see what is causing the issue! 


    What do you see? What do the building blocks spell out to you?

    When I first looked all I saw was “Tits” but this Twitter user was outraged that it is “taking the piss” out of those with hepatitis and has asked for the book to be removed from schools.

    Do you think this was done to intentionally offend, a coincidence or just one woman picking fault in a innocent children’s book?
