It was great to meet you too. The wife and I both agree that laughter is one of the great things about our relationship and it does not matter if we are laughing together or at each other. 

It was great to meet you both at last. You guys have a fab relationship in which you can sure tell laughter holds a great part in the scheme of it all which is great to see.

Laughter ftw!

Lol. Being new to the Internet I thought at first that being a Troll was a compliment.

Would love Mark to visit Scunthorpe but we would have too much material for him to have a go at.

I have a picture of both Dave Welchs but not sure if I get into trouble posting. Easiest way is to hendonmob and figure it out. The continental was at Dtd this weekend again I take it.
The last person you want to hurt is the broke bum. The most effective way is to target the ones he loves and this also means the kids. I had some personnel experience of this a while back. I suppose it works on a similar principle with the Blatch incident where you ain't ever getting paid back by him ( because he ain't got the dough) so go tithe people who care about him and have the means to Pay back. Least his parents have a chance of being paid back by Blatch.

That's one of the most morally repugnant things I've ever read on here.

I will tell you the story of how effective it is. Just give me a while as it will take some writing on the phone.

I know Dave for around 25years n he never gave me any problems.
Don't know what he done but he never offended me.
So I don't care but I think he's sound

Good post

I have always considered myself pretty ballsy and have never been frightened of no one from an early age. As a child my dad was in the army so moved schools quite often and I found the easiest way for kids not to pick on you ( I have oriental boyish good looks ) was to fight the hardest person in your year. Some I won some I lost but I never minded pain and fights always got messy so on lookers generally would have second thoughts about tangling with me.

This then continued on to my teens and early adulthood. I was a Leeds fan and in the 80's and followed them quite fanatically. I can't claim to be a member of the service crew but was "a Scunny White" and travelled to the games on the same trains as the Grimsby and Donny whites and got involved with the various activities being a member entailed.

I have been in some confrontations in cardrooms down through the year and have always known who the people you don't want to mess about with are. None  have actually come to blows and the last one was at Dtd with the guy who threatened to knee cap Tighty. This guy is just a scammer and full of crap and is basically a joke. He offers to take me outside and I never need inviting twice and he brings 3 other guys all of whom are bigger than me, his muscle, his son and his mate. I was not fazed in the slightest by this and was ready to throw the first punch. Luckily for those guys his mate was actually I guy who I respect and he gave me the speech "when he comes good we will all get our money back"... Yeah right.

Anyway that's just a bit of background to show I have balls like watermelons even when the odds are stacked against me.


 I have owned a window cleaning round for a long time and only ever been tried to be robbed once in 15 years whilst out collecting the money which did not end well for the guy but probably saved us a lot of bother in the future. Then a couple of years ago however I had to deal with a particually nasty piece of work who had a reputation carrying and using knives. Scunny only has a population of 50k and in a small town and small hardend minorities represent the majority of crime eg 2 guys were responsible for 90% of knife crime and as few as a dozen committ 50% of all burglaries.
One day one of these guys decides he wants to start "taxing" my window cleaning or poker money and obv point blank refuse.
I don't take the threats likely and know of their reputation but I am more than happy to sort this myself. Then one night while sat at home and my house phone rings and this time he is threatening my three boys. They are only 2 & 3 at the time and I know full well if this guy can get my home phone number then the address is pretty easy. I had anticipated the front door being kicked in possibly and taken the appropriate steps to protect the family. The 5 years for possession of a fire arm was a small price to pay to protect the family.

 However all of a sudden with threatening the kids my bottle started to go and I thought that the situation may get out of hand pretty quickly. I could handle any situation and never backed down and was not afraid to tackle someone with a knife ( even have a couple of scars for my troubles ) but once these guys threaten the thing that maters most to you then things change.

I felt pretty low that I was struggling to adequately protect my family. The solution for me was to get on the phone and call in a favour. Well actually I phoned 4 or 5 different guys (who dont live within 50 miles of Scunny) who could handle this for me. They all just said leave it with me I will sort it. This was about 10pm.  I gave them all the details and had no idea how they would do it but I had complete faith.

That night at about 3am I get a phone call saying they have the guy and I won't ever see him again and I'm in shock. "you ain't killed him already have you?". I would have been more than happy for this but I was told that he had been given a stern talking too and won't be setting foot in scunny again without prior arrangement.

For a while I felt pretty emotional that I had not been able to deal with this on my own but the thread bought back something that was close to me. It just shows that you can threaten someone all you want without much success but target the ones they love and you can really get a reaction.
