“Then I trust you have reported your observations to the Police Pat, as per the article. Its not much good writing here what you saw if you do nothing about it.”

“i'm sure there was a guy matching this description on the 48 bus one evening last week. he appeared to be either drunk, or mentaly ill.
as for security on the bus - what? i cant remember the last time i was on a bus and a situation happened that warrented the need for a security guard! this was an "attempted assult" in a very public place not a rape down a dingy alleyway.”

“they know their parents can't smack them on the bottom.
Not true Mike, my 23 year old and 13 year old were smacked when I thought it warrented it and my children have grown up/are growing up into responsible, sensible adults.”
