shopping in a well-known department store, for the purposes of this thread let's call it Lewis Johns and sitting for a well-deserved cuppa and bowl of fairly heavenly cream of vegetable soup...

a lad, about 11/12 comes up and pushes a sponsorship form in front of me, mumbles something about a boxing club and Amir Khan and wants me to write my name and address down.

i told him i wasn't local, that i was only visiting the area and wouldn't be able to guarantee when i was back in town to give him his money...

he said it was ok, i could give him the cash there and then.

what would you have done?

I love your DD too. I have 10 more years of being a child in that case. Shouldn't find that too tough.

Thingumy · 10/09/2011 20:43

You have taught the child well AuntieMonica.

Auntie ... I am at that point in the bottle of wine where pedantic sticking to the point is essential Smile

I refrain from posting something vile in response Reeling...

reelingintheyears · 10/09/2011 20:51

This is Shocking.

Not funny at all.

Grannies in headlocks getting shagged on strangers doorsteps.

Sounds like the Tories at election time.

GilbonzoTheSecretPsychoCunt · 10/09/2011 20:58

So, getting back to the point, you ignored a young child's plea for financial aid, put a granny in a headlock while she was midshag with her beloved who she had been separated from during the war and they had just happened to bump into each other and rekindle their love as they arrived at your door, unknowingly both asking for sponsership for a 473km swimathon and you regularly feature on the front page of the Daily Mail?

YABU.

Quite frankly, I'm Shocked

GilbonzoTheSecretPsychoCunt · 10/09/2011 21:01

(I strongly approved of that bit so I glossed over it)

reelingintheyears · 10/09/2011 21:02

And made her DP pay for her soup and granny granary bread.

GilbonzoTheSecretPsychoCunt · 10/09/2011 21:04

(that bit I approved of too)

BobblyGussets · 10/09/2011 21:04

I prefer shagging the grandad's: dirty old bastards, they are.

Reeling, I think I know where you live. Are you going to the Bath meet up?

reelingintheyears · 10/09/2011 21:04
