We did not buy flick knives though, as stabbing each other was not a hobby at the schools I went to. Pffff. Bet you didn't shoot each other with darts from air pistols either did you? |

The kids with flick knives at our school for the most part wouldn't ever have used them. Nowadays at the same school they would. Unfortunately that's not me being all "kids nowadays..."

Fireworks is fine. I don't have a problem with that.
Every town in France used to have a shop that sold knives and pistols that were illegal in the UK. I don't think they do these days, though it is a long time since I have looked for that sort of shop.
I do own a variety of knives these days, but strictly for kitchen or DIY use.
Unless the madness continues.

The guy sunbathing on the beach who had the fireworks flying past his ears had a problem with it. At least it seemed that way, my French wasn't very good.

No. No we did not. We did play rugby though. Which was possibly more dangerous. Two of us ended up in A&E in one game. One broken wrist. I got head butted accidentally at the bottom of a maul when someone landed on me. Couple of stitches in my eyebrow and a shiner that lasted ages.* Also someone broke a leg in another game. Got it caught wrong and couldn't shift it when everyone else moved. The cracking noise was not pleasant. * it didn't actually hurt. My friend Chris turned very pale when he saw it. I think he was more concerned than I was. It was only a tiny cut, but there was a lot of blood. The worst thing was being stitched. The needle goes inside your focal length which I did not enjoy. |

Hello! Just seeing if you’re all still alive. Turns out you are. No comment.
In my year at secondary school alone there were two guys that ended up banged up for murder before they were 20. Separate incidents. Some idiot stabbed me in the arm (ineptly, I might add) and he ended up with 8 as I recall in an, again, unrelated incident. There was a bit of a local skag problem then, though. This is why I went elsewhere to go to 6th form, which meant I was (apparently) in the same 6th form as Gavin Williamson. Now, in terms of collective responsibility...
Anyway. Have a very nice Saturday night in and try not to die/endanger Chumbles/do dumb stuff. Do not be like Gavin. My street is being nice to everyone and, well... this is sort of a virtual my street, albeit filled with problem neighbours, so yeah, please try not to die.
Which reminds me, Tids, if you need to wallop The Lad, remember to do so with a boxing glove on the end of a broom handle. Antisocial distancing.
Gesundheit!

Christ, it's fucking mental here. About 60 people round here partying and drinking our arses off. Absolutely packed. I'm finally working out why Boris shut the pubs, so we can party harder and later!
Not really, I'm just fucking with Chumbles.
This one time at my school, someone drew a picture of a willy on the wall of the Fives courts.

On the other hand I did see much of the worst of football hooliganism close up. Blues provided quite an education in the 1980s in a way my school did not. The first 3 away games I went to all featured well over 100 arrests. The third one in particular (15 oct 1983, lost 1-0 to Them) is regularly referenced as a low point for English football. www.theblizzard.co.uk/article/horror-showsI still despise that cunt McMahon. |

On my evening perambulation earlier to visit the local (empty) Co-op, I was overjoyed to see both the pub and bar on the street closed. The latter, in particular, because it has a strong whiff of Brexit about it.

To be fair you protected me from that 10 year-old at Coventry.
Not so much from the guy that tried to punch me in the subway at Molineux though. It was a good job he was too pissed to fight.

I stopped playing rugby after the game where I got punched in the throat whilst running down the wing with the ball.

Tom Nook is seriously dodgy, well I paid off first debt now waiting for a house and another building to be build. I've paid off my tent debt with his weird crypto currency, the first phase of my house and have the cash to cover the second when it's completed tomorrow morning. Been on the couch catching fish since this morning. My job has given me a high tolerance to boredom, which I'm putting to good use. |

My first AC and I spent 3 hours, chopping trees, catching fish, being killed by spiders, picking fruit and talking to The Man*. This is the Crack cocaine of a video game and its for children!

Also, someone put a note through our door asking if we were all OK and to call if we need help, food, a chat.
No offer of booze. Sub human scum.
