Yep, its the start of one of thiose "I didn't see that coming" threads.

Some things I find funny after becoming a dad!!

Recently I was riffing away on my electric guitar like a good thing when
my oldest told me to keep the noise down as it was interupting his tv
programme. What's going on? It's like a flashback to living at home with
the parants (what do them f**kers know about rock'n'roll).

When did the 'yuf becoming so un-rebellious. Shouldn't this be the other
way round - me yelling at his to turn down that bloody noise that passes
for todays musak!! Is it me or shouldn't our kids be more concerned with
ruining their ears, drinking and smoking pot.

Its all gone wrong somewhere.

'Spose he did slightly redeem himself the other when he spotted a young
lady of the chav (still don't know what that stands for) persuasion and
commented "its hard to look cool in pink".

Hi Coline,

My family's always telling me turn down the music!!!! IPods are great for solving that problem.

And apparantly my jeans are too tight!!!!! Not mentioning my big belly.

Kids today (can't believe I said that) !!!!!!

If you find out what a lady of the chav means let me know.

Think CHAV stands for Council Housing and violent??? Uk equivalent of our term Skanger I guess.

Coleen Mc Loughlin is quoted as being a Chav not to metion Jade Goody...

Never knew it was Council House and Violent.....ta Esth..

Chav (AKA Skangers etc....) - the type of "Ladies" and "Gentlemen" (and I use the terms very loosely!) who walk around the streets of Dublin wearing their Pyjama's!!!!! Yes, I adore my jim-jams but why on earth would people decide to wear them on the street!!!!!! They usually accessorise them with some fake burberry, gold madallions, those massive soverign rings and a pair of nike air max!!!! Urgh, it doesn't bear thinking!!!!!

Think I'll have to change into mine- it's afte 11.00pm here.

As for the "Chav" I'm so outdated I never heard of it.

Now I can be a "cool mum" knowing all the latest words.

How did our parents do it?

There was good section on guardian.co.uk Comment section some time ago about Chavs - like skinheads they are misunderstood. That's why most pubs and clubs in UK do not allow people wearing Burberry hats into pubs and clubs.

Wow Muller, never knew that. I just thought it was because they were horrible looking ( The hats that is, can't comment on those wearing them.)

Talking to Tonto one night on the phone recently when our 9 year old Megan (who recently discovered Queen) was BLARING Boehemian Rhapsody and I couldn't here the phone.

Excusing myself to Tonto I roared up the stairs...'TURN THAT DOWN-I'M ON THE PHONE!!!'

When I put the earpiece back Tonto was roaring with laughter and said 'how can you do that? That was us 20 years ago'

He's dead right... 

There are three kinds of people in the world,those who are able to count,and those who can't...

Coline.....I'm worried about you! I'm hoping your quote is in response to the thought of you wearing your comfy jim-jams rather than a fetish for chavs!!!!! If its the latter, maybe we should set up a support group!!!!!

Irish Mammy, In the interest of supporting poor Coline, I think it would be essential to wear the suitable attire!!!!!
