Son has been attacked

My middle son was playing football at the village hall when a lad about 1 year older told him if he came near him again he would beat him up.
Anyway my lad was playing football with 4 friends and the ball was kicked off and my boy went to retrieve it. The other boy who was nothing to do with them suddenly got stuck into my lad head banging him and beating him up.
Anyway the result is that my lad has some bad lumps on his head a bruised nose and badly beaten overall.
Now his 4 mates did nothing to help him.
So they called my wife and then went off to the police station in town and they called ahead.
The police station which is one of the biggest in Essex was about to close at 7.30pm!!
They stayed open for my son and his mates and another mother.
Because of his injuries they called the paramedics to check him for concussion but he seemed ok.
The police took photos of his injuries.
They gave a description of the boy and split his friends up and they went to look for the boy.
They found him and apparently doesn't come from our area but quite a distance away and comes to stay with his Nan. Most probably when he causes trouble at his own home.
He has caused problems before and also does kick boxing, so is a psycho anyway.
The police said well he seems a nice lad will an apology be ok
My wife said ' I don't think so!
So now my son has to go to the regional Police station to have more photos taken tomorrow and the police are calling the council to look at CCTV footage of the incident.

I will be surprised if the CCTV was working and even if they go to court the boy will be given a warning.

Now bearing in mind the police often come to our house for son #1 due to past problems you can bet your life they will try and do nothing on this one

Will update when I hear more

placed an outside bet on Schalke tonight

Good day in London with family

Saturday up early and then out to London.
1. A boat trip along part of the Thames. Very informative and funny. Did you know that the green lion Heads along the side of each bank of the Thames denotes that if the River reaches here then London is flooding. Therefore ' if the lion drinks then London Sinks'
2. London Eye. Nice view but not keen on the height thing! Anyway, the day was saved when my son saw Wembley.
3. Because of such long queues we went into the Marriott hotel which used to be the Greater London Council HQ. Lovely lunch and peaceful.
4. Walked around. Remembered it was St. Georges day so a number of youngsters in the flag etc.
5. Saw 2 demos and both by Foreign groups. (a) Zimbabweans and (b) Nigerians.
6. Then off to Covent Garden to meet my friend and we had a good Pizza.
7. Got home about 9.30pm

Lesbians start legal fight after being denied hotel room

http://uk.news.yahoo.com/14/20110421/tpl-lesbians-start-legal-fight-after-bei-81c5b50.html

Here we go, this is what we all thought would happen.
there are places in Holland that advertise only gays, but they don't get sued !
Brighton is the gay centre of the UK so it can't be difficult to find somewhere to stay, but according to these two wimmin, they pick the only hotel in Brighton that will only accept families and heterosexual couples.
Maybe it was true that the wimmin didn't have a booking only time will tell, but this is money for the minority and of course for the stupid legal people claiming the Equality Act of 2010 for all and sundry!

We in the Western world really are being dictated to by a few!The trouble is, that it isn't equal and that's where it's wrong.

Real win!

I thought Real would beat Barcelona in the Spanish cup.
I couldn't get a bet on though as I am abroad.
Terrible match though it was more like theatre the way the bookings occurred and footballers fell over themselves.
Anyway it would have been another notch in my good run.

Patience is being lost

My agent was due here today, but has a bad injury from football apparently.
He still hasn't come up with a solution to my contract issue and I have asked for one, copying the bank in as well.
This will be the last time I work for Eurostaff !!
As soon as I get a role elsewhere I will be out of here.

Am I a nincompoop

The agent called me as planned, to say that he has been TOO busy to think about screwing up my contract!
He wants to come and meet me on Thursday to talk about it.
I can see the discussion being short!

He has come up with several classic lines so far as if I haven't heard all the excuses before.
Am I a nincompoop??
(Essentially, a nincompoop is a fool, a stupid person whose incompetence or naïveté is quite apparent)

The bank isn't too pleased either 'cos they want me to stay.
