Avi is a top bloke.
He got angry one day in his life and threw a wooden board at his wife.
Greggy wants to crucify him for that.
He takes great stories off topic all the time due to it.
Greggy is a pain in the arse.

Top bloke?

He's a convicted wife-basher.

And as far as journalism goes, he's a real journalist in the same way that Donald Duck is a real bird.

So are you saying being convicted of something makes everything you're involved in, anything you say, worthless?

Why should we put any stock in what a drunk driver claims if that is the case, Groggery?

You think there is no difference between the mindset of person who beats his wife to the mindset of person who drives whilst over the limit?

Seriously, the crap i read on this forum.

WTF has mindset got to do with anything? If we can't believe Avi because he threw something, we can't believe Groggery because with the same indifference to others welfare he drove pissed.

Believe him because he "threw something". What an immnensely telling turn of phrase.

I would say, more to the point, that someone capable of abusing their spouse may have questionable ideas on a range of ideas. I would certainly hold them in lesser regard.

Someone who drives over the limit? Meh. While not ideal, it's really not that hard to do.

I fail utterly to see how the two are comparable, even if the former is diminished to the point you have striven to diminish it to. Tellingly.

Yeah mehh ey?

Easy to do?

Give yourself an uppercut.

Hand on your heart, you have never in your life driven over .05%.

I won't believe you if you say you haven't.

There but for the grace of the gods .... and all that.

Never ceases to amaze me, the depths the men on here will plunge to. To Setanta, a man who abuses his wife is no more to be brought into question than one who drives over the limit.

And this is how cheaply women and girls are valued amongst so very many men.

I am thankful every day that i visit here that my own life experiences and the people around me do not match what i see on this forum.

Hi Mothra - our resident virtue signaler.

Did you ever throw anything at one of those awful men?

How could i possibly throw something at anyone over the internet, Bobby?

I am talking about all those men in your real life.

This is her real life Cheesy

Why the misleading Title to this Thread?

misleading headline?

https://i.huffpost.com/gen/244618/GIRLS-SCHOOL.jpg

For real?!

How do they get away with such… ambiguity!

Did you miss the sexual innuendo in the headline for the girls school in that linked photo Lols? Grin

Oh durrhhh … no I didn’t miss it… Roll Eyes

Which is why I’m astounded it was allowed to be printed as such!

Proof reading is a thing of the past.

The men in my life are lovely, Booby. At lest, those i choose association with. There are those on the periphery i'm less enthusiastic about.

Nothing like the dregs on here though. There are some bona fide woman haters on here. At least, men who consider women poorly.

Furthermore, i feel no compunction to to throw anything at anyone, ever. From my viewpoint, you'd have to be pretty undisciplined to throw something at someone. SO undisciplined in fact, that i think such acts should be sanctioned.

The last time I did that it was 0.08 & nearly 40 years ago..... I don't drink & drive ... period.

Different times then

but nowadays some people still don't learn.

Do you drink & drive?

Oh no, i realise it entirely. I don;t drink at all anymore and ii certainly never drank while i drove for the absolute majority of my adult life ... but there were a few times when i was kid when i drove over the limit.

Crucify me.

I think if you're trying to claim that at no time in your driving career have you driven over the limit, you're a liar. Or else you don't drink at all.

.05 is incredibly easy to reach.

A hell of a lot easier to identify with than hurling a wooden block at your wife's head. I've never felt like doing that to another human in my life. Especially not one i was more physically powerful than.

I don't drink at all. But i certainly have driven over the limit in my lifetime. All in the recklessness of youth, but i have done it.

I think most adults would admit they have that in their past. If not, a goodly percentage of them would be liars.

And i repeat, .05 is very easy to reach. It is not equatable with beating your wife.

But i see the usual suspects are less concerned with how women are treated than what we can pin on Greg.

I will be perfectly honest here, since my hubby and I have courted from age 18 (driver licence age) neither of us have ever drank alcohol and driven. Zero … zilch! But then again neither of us ever did drink much alcohol nor have we ever done drugs.

Yet in our day, many did, drive drunk and many accidents and injury, deaths came from that.
Yet in our rural area, many got away with drunk driving because there was less traffic on roads here.

Unlike today, there are many vehicles on the road now at all times of the 24 hour period of the day/night.

With the advent of late night shopping introduced and then night shifts/overtime…. hence more traffic about at all hours.
