John,
Your right, I should have just knocked it on the head on day 2, this isent the first time we've taken young uns on and it always seems to be the same story. The worst is their mums! you get shot of them and then you get nothing but abuse from their mummys ringing you up threatening all kinds of stuff.
Thats the last time, Im taking on any kiddies,

talking about being a disrespectfull youth reminds me of when I was in my early twenties

I had a big bsa and used to blat about on it on a sunny sunday afternoon just for something to do, one day I pulled up outside a local park and sat on a bench having a smoke and watching the world go by, this old feller walked past a few times and then sa next to me

oy oy I thought you keep your distance perv or you will get a slap, he started talking to me about the bike and if it my parents that bought it or me, no its mine I saved up for it and told him I was a decorator, he then went on to tell me how lucky I was to be born in this time and in this country. he explained he was german but had been here since his teens. he then asked why I had an iron cross earring , I said cos it looked cool, he asked if I knew what it meant and I said it was something to do with the german army. sort of he said. do you know about the nazis, not much I replied

he pulled his shirt sleeve up and showed me a number that was tattooed the full length of his fore arm

he then went on to tell me about his time in the concentration camp, about all his family being killed, he was kept alive because he could work the fields, he used to be so hungry he would eat the dirt he was digging and if he found a worm it was devoured quikly before somene snatched it from him. he was brought here after the war to recieve medical treatment and remained here. we chatted for a couple of hours about his life and what happened to him and about the fascist movement, it was one of those defining moments in life that made me left wing politicaly and to oppose rascism etc

when he got up to leave asked if I still thought the earing was cool . I said no and he asked if he could have it and I gave it to him, that was the last time I ever wore anything like that

People so easily forget the past, my girlfriends family were german jews and the family history is thin on the ground
it really makes me angry when people deny the holocaust and claim its a conspiracy by the jews

we should always remember what happened and ensure nothing like that happens again

I know what that's like Mike. In my mid teens I was with some friends outside Brightons main shopping centre it was late at night and we were drinking and having a kick about. There was a homeless guy sleeping in the door way of one of the shops and one of the lads kicked the ball so it rebounded off the glass doors above his head, this happened 2 more times before the guy broke down in floods of tears. Although I never kicked the ball at him I was ashamed that I never stopped it either so went to comfort him my mates didn't give two monkeys but I sat down with the guy and it was clear he was a broken man, he must have been in his eighties and life had not been good to him and a bunch of young lads just adding to his problems sent him over the edge that night. He was Irish and he told me some stories about when he was a young lad and what our Queen (who he held responsible) had done to him, all the while crying his heart out to a complete stranger. I sat talking to him for quite a while and from time to time I think about him and the impact he had on me that day. He made me value my own circumstances and the chances I had open to me and how I should never take them for granted

with less than 2 weeks service in employment, you can get shot of anybody and they have no rights to any form of redundancy pay. if they're not up to scratch, get them gone asap.

youngsters have no concept of good work ethics these days. they get away with all sorts and just expect handouts to support them. I've done some bad things in my time, but everything I have now I worked hard to get through getting a job and paying my way.

the good people will always feel like this >>> :mad2: and those who just take from society will carry on doing this >>> :8:
