    I might go and see the film now!

    And I intend to carpe diem………well you just have to don’t you!

    Or alternatively, I’ll buy some gold fish.

    I am surprised that the after school club just sent him off home on his own to be honest. Although as Pete says, he was 12. But afterschool clubs only cater for the 12 and under. They act in loco parentis until someone takes over. Someone should have stayed with the child until the parent could arrange for someone to pick him up.

    The child’s safety comes first. The club needs to re-evaluate its procedures.

    Actually, it seems it was a village youth club. Hmm… surely they must have the same kind of rules as an after school club?

    Him

    Would you please take me away
    from this place
    I cannot bear to see
    the look upon your faces
    And if there
    is some kind of god
    do you think he’s pleased
    When he looks down on us
    I wonder what he sees
    Do you think
    he’d think the things we do
    are a waste of time
    Maybe he’d think
    we are getting on just fine
    Do you think he’s skint
    or financially secure
    And come election time
    I wonder who he’d vote for

    Ever since he can remember people
    have died in his good name
    Long before that September
    Long before hijacking planes
    He’s lost the will he can’t decide
    He doesn’t know who’s right or wrong
    But there’s one thing that he’s sure
    of this has been going on too long

    Do you think he’d drive
    in his car without insurance
    Now is he interesting
    or do you think he’d bore us
    Do you think
    his favourite type of human
    is caucasian
    Do you reckon
    he’s ever been done
    for tax evasion
    Do you think he’s any good
    at remembering people’s names
    Do you think he’s ever taken
    smack or cocaine
    I don’t imagine
    he’s ever been suicidal
    His favourite band
    is Creedence Clearwater Revival

    Ever since he can remember people
    have died in his good name
    Long before that September
    Long before hijacking planes
    He’s lost the will he can’t decide
    He doesn’t know who’s right or wrong
    But there’s one thing that he’s sure
    of this has been going on too long

    I think a lot of us used to walk a few miles a day to get to and from school. One school I went to I did the 3 mile round trip walking on the road cos there were no pavements, it was all country lanes, and I was 8 at the time. But there weren’t so many cars then, and the cars there were didn’t go so fast. I would no way let a child of mine walk that kind of distance on their own. Not these days.

    Anti Dote

    A word here and another there
    The poison seeps like heavy fog
    Through dense grey matter
    That doesn’t.
    Inherently foolish,
    Candor a double edged sword.
    For the true victim is
    And will always be
    The poisoner.

    Mr Petulant: I AM HATED FOR LOVING

    I am hated for loving
    I am hated for loving
    Anonymous call, a poison pen
    A brick in the small of the back again
    I still don’t belong
    To anyone – I am mine
    And I am hated for loving
    I am haunted for wanting
    Anonymous call, a poison pen
    A brick in the … ah …
    A brick in the small of the back again
    I still don’t belong
    To anyone – I am mine
    I am falling
    With no-one to catch me
    I am falling
    And there’s still
    No-one to catch me
    Ah ..
    Anonymous call, a poison pen
    A brick in the … ah …
    A brick in the small of the back again
    I just don’t belong
    To anywhere
    I just don’t belong
    Mmm …
    Ah …

    He was 12, i’m pretty sure i was more than a mile or so from my parents house when i was 12. Has the world changed that much

    since you were a child?

    I guess you would have had to dodge horse drawn vehicles :D

    I think 12 isn’t old enough to have road sense, not for boys anyway. Not sure where I read it, but am sure they did a study and 12 year old boys cannot judge distances and speed of oncoming traffic properly. There are loads more cars on the roads now, and in the dark, well a mile can seem a long long way when you are scared!
