That’s me done until New year. Sat on a train right now heading to the in-laws, half cooked from last night, stinking bag of bud in my bag, mrs moaning, woman on the train hating on me already…. Only another 5 hours to go ??? What’s everyone else up to for Crimbo then?

I’d rattle that after a couple of pints ?

It was and is, go figure ? In the UK it’s the separation of profession and emotion. You can’t cuddle a kid who wants one because it’s not professional and you can’t act on your human emotion to do so, because it’s not professional ? p.s. empty thy inbox

I’m all ears ?

How the hell did you manage to get locked up ya daft git ?

In truth I’ve no idea mate. It’s just different. It’s like going on a night out. Here, you never look over your shoulder to see who the dickhead is or where the trouble might come from. In Blighty that’s all you do. So many little differences that add up. It’s not all a bed of roses mind. b*****ds irritate the shit out of me when they walk straight at you on the path or stand in front of the metro doors before I’ve had chance to get off ?

I have to say that is one thing I do like about here and it probably ties in with what Sheep and others are saying, community! In my building we tend to look out for each other. My neighbour had Corvid last week and every time I went out I’d ping her a msg asking if she needed owt. I’ve had knocks on my door over the last 18+months asking if I’m ok or need anything from the shops etc. I can mind about 15 years ago I moved to a new area in Preston. Straight away I was chapping the doors and offering free meat to the oldies, introducing myself, cutting lawns etc all because that’s how I was

Happens Keith mate. An old boy I was best mates with for years here, lost his marbles and passed last Jan. He was wandering around his building with no idea where he lived. Obviously due to Corvid I couldn’t even be there for him. That bloke loved my daughter, was a complete mad head laugh on a night out and wouldn’t ever back down, took no prisoners ? He used to roll a spliff at the bar (he was 67) and stand outside puffing the smelliest weed you’ve come across and tell the youngsters it was very nice ? zero fuucks given. He went from hero to zero in less than a week, then Corvid claimed him

Did you drop him for this major infraction? ?

Kids are kids. I used to get clipped by the old lad up the road for garden creeping ? b*****d always grassed me up to me mam and dad too, which inevitably meant another good hiding when I got home ? but in the same breath he’d always be there to help if one of us hurt ourselves, was always happy to lean on his gate, have a chat and tell stories of his youth and what they used to get up to. Imagine, a group of young lads on their bikes, on a summer holiday morning all gathered around an old bloke telling us how to make dry ice rockets and bombs ffs ? Nowadays he’d be labeled as some wrong

Not going into this too much but you’re right about close contact etc. Here in Spain, kids are loved. It’s not unusual for random strangers to talk to kids and interact with them. Kids will actively go up to people. I get it all the time, some random persons kid realises I speak English and they want to sit on ya knee and chat away ? Used to freak me out tbh, now I’m just used to it. It’s like our Jess. When she comes over, everyone is kissing her cheeks and sitting her down, treating her like a family member.

Rule on it’s edge! That’s what the nuns used to do. Right across the second knuckles. Fuuck that used to hurt, never shut me up though. Why didn’t I learn ??
-
We’re about the same age mate. Early 90’s, catholic schools still thought it was the 1800’s around my way… At least with me they did ?
-
Erm ?

It’s judo, always full contact and no, not mini mons. I fought at a low weight but always had to go against the bigger lads, especially at gradings… I never failed to win or grade up

I’m going to weigh in with I had my eldest at 21, I was still studying and had 3 jobs to cover needs. I used to look around at the scum parents in Blackpool (where we lived, studied and worked) and wonder how is it people can live and raise their kids in certain ways. I was on Telly once, fitting blinds in a house on grange park, the theme was the two sisters (15 & 14) had a race to get pregnant! I’ve never smelt a house like it. Fuuckload of puppies met me at the gate, garden overgrown and full of shit, no carpets in the house, bedding that hadn’t been washed in years… fuucking foul!

It always tastes better when you win ?? At 40 years old I still wish I hadn’t given it up. I was trained by a big name in the Judo world and trained with champions who represented Blighty at the Olympics. Ah regrets! @goldfinch2007 If he’s taking 1st now, he’s a future talent mate Support him through his “discovering birds” years lol
-
Mate that’s brilliant! Very proud of him I remember when I held a similar position in judo… You can’t beat that feeling of achievement and self pride ? Get him a dirty takeaway, he deserves it ?
-
All boys catholic school…. Say no more ? Too many stories. The best one was when a mate and me were pulled into the head of year’s office. We stood there getting a bollocking and did the worst thing… we looked at each other and started laughing ? Mr so and so butted my mate and said you think this is funny boy! My mate jumped out of the window and ran off, away across the playing fields shouting “it’s fuucking hilarious now come get me ya bald cnut” ? I just stood there thinking “fuuck I’m in for it now” ?
-
FLMAO mate I went out dressed as Shirley Bassey with a load of everyone (black, brown, one cnut who was slightly yellowish) a few years ago now. Do that now and you’re a cnut! But it’s ok to black up the kids still ?
-
If I can help, ask

I can’t believe no one has found this as funny as I did… I was crying with laughter in the shop ?

You’ll be right. The rules in Cataluña are you have to show you Corvid Qcode. Where you are is nice but it’s gonna be very chilly, especially at night. The nearest city is gonna be Girona. I reckon most towns and villages will have some sort of a party and procession but if you can get into a larger pop areas, it’ll be a bigger deal. Nothing much will be open near you on the 6th so make sure you buy what you need

Dirty fish water ?

All open mate. Whereabouts are you going? and remember to blackface ya kids for the “dia del rei” ? Night of the 5th Jan is a procession with the three kings and the next day is a festival day, big party and geared towards the kids.
