Was SWMBO right?
Now firstly, I live in quaint Georgian market [conservation] town in North Yorkshire - not the deepest darkest bronx of London.
I was sitting in my easy chair early this evening, watching the One Show, cold beer at my lips.
Happened to look out of the bay window to see a couple of [i'm being polite here] 'youths' accross the road.
Both had 'beer botle in hand' and one of them started p*ssing up against a wall.
Now I flew off that chair [quicker than as if my my beer had gone warm] and was just about to exit the front door to confront the B*stards, when swmbo held me back.
She put to me the following scenarios:
A] I could've gone over there and decked the two of them, but plod would've become involved and I'd be brought up on charge and possiby be sent down.
B] They may have got the better of me with some hidden, flashing silver, and sent me down on pavement [or up to see the 'big one in the sky'] or
C] they could've ran away and came back again later and keyed mt D3.
So in fear of C], I piped down and went back to my comfy seat & cold beer.
Thing is though, was she right in her understanding AND was I right in not confronting the issue to protect my D3?
Seems to me there was no way I would've won!!

Forgot the D3, they know where you live.......could you really 'ever' sit in comfort with a relaxed mind if you have them?

I had some guys turn up outside the gates of the gaff in a Merc around 1am in the morning last summer....proceeded to up against the stone side pillars. I steamed out ( I'd had a few shandys ) and said "do you realise just how small your cocks look on the camera guys" ....they gave a quick 'go'nd yourself' ....jumped in their motor and sped off into the night

What were you doing looking at monitors with Men's cocks on at 1AM I believe that every human has a finite number of heart-beats. I don't intend to waste any of mine running around doing exercises.

Unlike your desires..it's just a statement ...just like when I get trespassers and I shout "release the dogs" .... should see them run

I hate situations like that, I have been in them a number of times with my kids with me and thats worse, I tend to do the same as you but then spend ages wondering if I should of grabbed them by the scruff and shook them up, I don't think it's worth it in the end, they know their rights and would claim they were just passing when this mad man grabbed them.
I do remember in Coventry two t***s standing in front of my car taking their time moving and messing about and I got out and had serious words with them only to be reported to local police station by passing social worker who says she was in fear for the lads safety (poor boys).
When I was spoken to I said it must have had the desired result then

p ng in the streets appears to be common over here (unfortunately) but when you think about it it's only water, now on the other hand if it was the other side it could get messy
maybe run an electric fence across it and see if they get shocked
to be honest I think you did the right thing as it's not worth the trouble it could cause later and its not like they do it in the same place every day.

Decorate the wall with alternating strips of copper and zinc, about an inch apart. I can't say on a public forum like this what will happen, but you will probably find it quite amusing.
