bobbyshinton 59 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 When drinking in the Town (or where you live) It seems there are more and more stabbings and murders occurring. Cases like Caths' brother seem to be common. Woor youngen is out all hours and touch wood to my knowledge has had no bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimburst 0 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 My town is ace, everyone is so friendly and i never see any violence past fisticuffs, lol I had never heard of a killing in out town until about 6 months ago, but two have happened since, it's a worrying trend.

Meenzer 14178 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 I like to think I'm clever/paranoid enough to be able to keep my head down and myself out of trouble on a night out, but like you say with Cath's brother and all, these things can happen to the best of us. I suppose it falls into the "you could get hit by a bus tomorrow" category of occupational hazards, but I do find myself increasingly getting into Jeremy Hardy-style grumpy old man territory and grumbling about the way the world's going to hell in a handbasket.

luckyluke 1 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Most of the tales you hear of stabbings and shootings and whatnot the victims seem to be involved with their murderers (through drugs or whatever) so I'm not too concerned. For instance, I went back home to Nottingham last weekend and my mum told me some men had chased somebody else down our road, into one of our neighbour's gardens and stabbed him. As disturbing as this is (my parents live in a quiet, nice part of Nottingham - not St Anns where all the gangs are) I can't see why anyone would do that to me.

Guest alex Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Anyone see the photos of the (predominantly) random stabbings in Glasgow in the Sunday Times Magazine the other week? Fucking hell! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, it's clear from some of the CCTV stuff you see on telly of people getting kickings/stabbed, that the "if you don't look for bother, you won't find any" stuff is a thing of the past. So many dickheads knocking about these days, it's not even funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jusoda Kid 1 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 I knew that lad who was killed in Byker very well. Was sitting with his dad having a pint on Thursday when he got the phone call.

Jill 0 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 I usually feel pretty safe, mainly because I don't tend to drink in town and choose to stay local, and it's generally the same crowd in the pub - there can be one or two trouble makers get in but I'm familiar with most of the staff and they're usually spot on at sorting problems and it's been ages since I saw any trouble. That said it doesn't always follow these days that if you try and keep your head down you won't be affected, but I don't tend to worry about it too much on a night out.

Ketsbaia 0 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 When I first started going out it used to be a bit of a worry but now it doesn't bother me. The only time i've been part of any trouble was in Sunderland when I started singing Blaydon Races at the top of my voice and then squared up to some scruffy, sovereign wearing Charva who took offence. I got a punch for my troubles and I dropped my Kebab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 36173 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 I know I shouldn't, but there's something funny about your mate lying on a garage forecourt having to ring you for help. Were people just stepping over him to pay for their petrol? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 6145 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 http://www.toontastic.net/forum/index.php?...;hl=wheres+good Plenty of people never see bother apparently! I still stand by my statement that their are too many bell ends around these days. It doesnt help that we seem to have the mentality that its not a good night out unless you need to be carried home at the end of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
