Unless you have a child moving from pre-school to school why do you care?  We had one in the UK, it wasn't compulsory but my son loved it and it was fun.

It’s one of those rare occasions that I agree with Jon.

Why do men wear club football shirts just for walking around towns and cities in June?

Because people can wear whatever they want?

Just seen videos and pictures of a child finishing pre-school.

 

They've got a cap and gown on, they get a certificate, there's an audience of parents and pictures against a back drop saying 'pre school leavers'. 

 

I mean really, is this what we're doing now?

Today we won the adjudication from The Deposit Protection Service,  after our previous landlords tried to stiff us for £400 for redecoration costs.  This is for a property we rented for 7 years,  in which time there had been no redecoration undertaken during our tenancy!  Petty bastards, so glad it went against them.

My boy has been selected for the local LOI Premier League side pre-academy. Very exciting! Huge opportunity for a 10yr old!!!

No other country does humour like we do.

 

This last week, some of the banter, jokes, one liners about Gareth Southgate, Jay Slater, politicians, the Prison sex tape etc, has been truly brilliant.

 

There's a lot that's shite about the UK but when it's comes to taking the piss, we're world class.

Sorry to be 'that guy', but what's humorous with a joke about a missing lad?

If you haven’t laughed at some of the insane stuff people have come out with then you just haven’t seen it or you’re a robot.

I don't believe anyone is laughing at the very sad situation of the lad going missing. It's categorically, not the circumstances.

 

Everyone is laughing as the batsh!te crazy facebook huns and their ridiculous conspiracies and suggestions on social media. Posting suggestions like "has anyone tried phoning him" "has anyone rang the hospital" ...No, Karen, the police didn't think of that first, at all.

Or that people go into the mountains playing drum and bass to lure him out. Or leave sweets. People asking if they should go over with the family dog, who is good at sniffing out things...sure, your fido is far better trained than a police/rescue dog. It's endless.

My favourite was that we should pause the Euro's as the players surely can't concentrate with him missing, and it's a shame for the lad to miss the matches!

 

If you've a spare hour, have a look, it's comedy gold.

 

The worrying thing, these people will vote in the election.

 

P.S. If I ever go missing, do not set up a Facebook group!!!

Funny how subjective humour is. The 'banter' type of English humour is one of my least favourite things here. I like the surreal or satirical stuff that other countries usually find baffling.

Reckon there will be an issue of overpopulation in who knows how many years, and not much land left because of new builds etc.

Isn't something like only 10% of land in the UK built on?

If people want to see what real population density is in a country similar size to the UK, look at Korea.

 

Around 90% of the people, in 10% of the built-up space.

I hate the Euros being on at the same time as Wimbledon, same as I hate when the Wimbledon final has been on the same day as the UK GP.

Not much land left?!? Have you ever flown over the uk. Or driven on a motorway. There’s tonnes of land, we barely build! Loads of room for cities to expand, Leicester can easily be zone 6 of London

And yet the idea of having people play tennis on a GP circuit while cars fly between them would have me watching Formula 1 tennis in a shot - in the same way I'd like to see synchronised swimming at Sea World with killer whales and sharks.
