HOLD IT RIGHT THERE, Codsey!

'Bashing' has certain connotations that I doubt would apply to 95% of the domestic violence cases. Let's not make mountains out of mole hills here.

A quick slap across the face as a result of persistent provocation from an endlessly nagging or taunting wife does not constitute a 'bashing'.

So let's be a little more careful with our language here, please.

I was caned for 7 years at boarding school, but I never once ever heard or read of it being describes as 'bashings'.

really herb.....I would call it thus....

herb like most things it depends a lot on size and the amount of aggression..at the end of the day... a bloke would always be stronger than a women...

women do not out run men.. or outplay them.. aka tennis or golf...its a fact of life...

a slap is still violence.. its still someone laying a hand on someone else..in an aggressive way...

like it or not... this is what we have to stop....push is as good as a shove if you like...small things grow into bigger things....its the way we are...you puit your hand on someone in a violent way... dont mess around with words.... it is what it is...WRONG.

we do not allow hitting smacking children anymore.....we went too far...so what happens we say NO MORE ZERO...because some of us dont seem to understand the difference between a smack and a bash..

Correct.

'Gregg' is the name of the vandal, the graffiti artist, and the tagger who is yet again responsible for this crash-and-burn of a thread that could otherwise have provided some interest for the readership here.

Why Freediver tolerates his consistently destructive serial vandalism is a mystery that has yet to be explained.

If it's because Freediver owes gregg money - then I suggest we all chip in and pay him off so FD can then do the decent thing by the rest of us and boot 'gregg' right out of the paddock and into the middle of next week - never to be heard from again.

It might be that he is loveable rogue-
