Lot of it round our way, last week had a woman shout at me for not moving by out of her way as I was walking on the section of pavement that she wanted to walk on. Then, the other night, coming home from a gig, some guy nearly hit my friend’s partner as he drove up onto the pavement right behind him trying to park. Didn’t even slow down, and didn’t seem to realise what he’d done wrong when we all gave him horrified looks.

Wine Legs Mar 2018 12:16pm, 19 Mar 2018 4,310 posts	Quote Pin Wine Legs When people say that someone "got caught up in the wrong crowd" like it wasn't their fault at all that they made a decision to do something illegal or dickish. A crowd is always made up of individuals who each make decisions. Take some responsibility for that behaviour. It isn't anyone else's fault.

Well yes but you do not under any circumstances get into a car when you have been drinking and drive. You can kill people. Other people as well as yourself. He is a fuckwit and needs to be made a public example of. Prison.
