to have called them a shower of arseholes?

[MrsKeithRichards]

I'm on holiday (baby sleepin dh out with older son so sitting on balcony having a sly cig and wine) in a big resort type place.

3 pools, one kids with big and small slide. It's not the best lay out. Small slide for tots goes into shallow (70cm) bit of pool which is separated from deeper end where the big slide empties but whole thing is no deeper than 120cm. Ds is 6 and been going up and down it for days, obeying the obvious rule of don't go down until the person before is clear.

So today ds and another boy who is 9 were going up and down over and over again. A rather portly (this is relevant, being rather portly myself I'm well aware of the splash I make) family (mum, dad and two daughters mid twenties) came around the pool and started going down the slide. No problems. Then more friends turned up, there was about 13 in total. They all started using the slide and weren't leaving any space in between. Ds and his mate were in amongst them all so dh joined in to slow it down. He'd let the 2 boys go down then let them get clear before going. The pool is quite small though.

Anyway this group were getting wilder and wilder and dh asked them to give the kids a chance to get clear but was ignored. They were coming down right after each other and it was mayhem, water everywhere, soaked my pram which was as far as possible from the pool (about 3m) and sending wave after wave over dh ds and his pal.

So I lost it.

I stood up and started shouting at them to calm the fuck down and let the kids get out the road. Then I called them a shower of arseholes. I got a round of applause from other people but I'm not proud at losing the head like that.

The usually vigilant lifeguard turned up 5 minutes later (there's 4 pools he covers) and chucked them out.

I feel a bit sheepish. I'm usually a seething type. Dh wasquite proud!

Ha! It doesn't make him a bad man at all. My SD has some choice phrases too, mostly gleaned from building sites too, but in Ayrshire. I'm always roaring at him for things he says in front of my DC. They just roll their eyes though, and to be fair I've not heard them repeat anything

....kids are funny aren't they! I'm always cringing when we go up to Lochgelly to visit his brother (who I adore), but whose language is APPALLING. He never, never, censors himself at all and every other word is 'fing' or 'c (which is a word I could not bring myself to use). My lovely SIL once said to him, 'Fer Fuck's Sake, ya C**, the fucking bairns are listening to aye fucking word ye're blethering. Can ye no' watch yer fucking mooth?' and I nearly died! I have never, ever heard any of the DCs repeat anything either, thank God. I hope it's because darling Uncle talks very quickly and throws so much slang in that they miss a lot of what he says (although probably not that much, if we're being honest).

I rarely swear in front of ds so have to refrain from using the one phrase that describes how I feel some days which is 'you're gee'ing my arse a sair heid'

Reminds me of my last job, most people who used the service were from Ireland and had emigrated in the 40's, 50's and 60's, a few never moderated their language regardless of where they were and who they spoke to.

I met one man whilst on ML, who told me in the middle of Sainsbury's "Well done Hair, she's a bonny wee cunt"!!

YANBU.

(Can you translate the last sentence of your last post please )

Love that phrase! My mum's equivalent used to be 'you're giving my arse a headache!' - but was only used in extreme circumstances!!
