Friend got robbed today... Quel bummer!

[G-MAN]

Yeah i hate them too. We call them Chavs and Townies mainly here.

http://www.steveisagimp.tk - click on the townie link, its got quite a funny page about them. 'tis a friend's site..

"A goldfish has a three second memory span, is a bright colour, has no purpose in life and it's normal state is aimlessly moving around whilst opening and shutting it's mouth. Goldfish are frequently mistaken for Townies" lol

I bet I hate Chavs more than anyone else here, particularily because I'm a Goth, and they give me and my friends shit non-stop. They'll get theirs in the end, though. . . .

If any Americans are still reading at this point , I'm pretty sure "chavs" and "neds" are something like "wiggers" (slightly racist I realize).

The thing is they arent really, theyre not trying to be black, theyre their own breed.

We do have the other kind of white kids, who are basically 'wiggers' who wear exactly the same as most of the black rudeboys - I.e. = American Basketball or baseball hat (Although none of them even follow the teams), Nike Jacket and/or hoody, baggy tracksuit pants/trousers, and pristine Nike/Adidas/Timberland shoes.

man i wish we had "chavs" around here it sounds like i'd enjoy beating the shit outa these idiots....

[BlueBowlin]

Sounds very similar to the Albanians/Chaldeans around here. Always seem to be in groups of 10 or so, always wearing some type of designer labels or knockoffs, not to mention you can smell them about a block away because they all seem to put on massive ammounts of cologne.

But, around here at least, its usually a bad idea to fuck with them if you don't have too. If you get in a fight with one, he's gonna show up at your house with 8 of his cousins or some shit, or walk up to you as youre getting out of work and you get stomped by a bunch of em.

speaking of getting burned and fekked over...
my flatmate has for the past 6 months been scrounging off me in one of the worst possable ways. total lack of respect and total abuse of trust (and my kind nature) and has cost me all my savings (what little there are), cost me OVER HALF of my total income (and thats not much when on the dole, a mere 40 squid a week), cost me another 50 squid in bank charges for letters telling me i have less than no money so they're taking more away, cost me this flat (he got us kicked out for non-payment of rent) and so in total, when you include the fact that i've been buying nearly all the food and other household expenses, it all comes to over 600 pound once i get kicked out (and i probably won't get my deposit back either because he's messed the place up so much - so another 200) i worked out that over the same period i've only recieved about a grand. so try to imagine living on less than half of what the government tells you is the basic amount needed to survive on. i look quite skinny now again after months, no, YEARS of trying to get/keep my weight above 10 stone, and even aiming for 11 to be on the money for my ideal weight/height ratio... i now weigh about 9. not once has he paid any bills we agreed to share equally.

now the money thing doesnt bother me, i'm not a big fan of it (thus probably why the situation got this bad), the setbacks in my health arent even that annoying (i've experienced much worse), what really gets me is the absolute lack of concern and the attempts to play me, to placate me,

i wonder... is he really that stupid? or is he more calculating, manipulative, selfish, greedy, etc than i can comprehend? either way, it's not nice to be fucked over by people you thought were friends. i only hope that the rest of my friends start to see his errors.

heh, i just needed to get that off my chest.

speaking of neds...

ya ever think that surrounding them in a world of hate and violence is what makes them the way they are? and that by going out to beat them you only further convince them that this is how to conduct yerself in life, and how everyone does? and maybe, just maybe, there might be a better way to deal with this problem? a middle ground between "find him and beat him" and the UK's Gov's "anti-social behaviour" programs & new laws maybe?


nah, lets just stick with our impulses, not think things through properly and go beat them up.

Around here they tend to prey more on the neutral people - A lot of the rockers and goths, if they aren't huge and / or feisty, have huge and feisty friends. It's kinda sad how they only feel secure confronting someone when their target is sitting down alone or with one or two friends, and the townie in question has at least 5 friends to back him up. Have to go to the police station tomorrow to look at photos... They're pretty sure they can nail the dudes but are building up a body of evidence or something. Shall be behind enemy lines in a way...

Sounds like her friend just jacked her but that's not the way - she was there to see him get robbed. Still stayed happy, though. Spent my day bouncing around town sharing warmth, happiness and love with bummed out people. Woo.

EDIT : CRUD! Just realised that I put this here and not Real Life Stories. Too many windows open, got horribly confuzzlipated. Sorry, guys...

I just read that out loud in a ridiculous voice for fun.

similar shit happening here, with alcohol and monye going missing, not my flatmate tho, she's too lovely

never unprovocedly hit a ned and the worst i have done is push them away from me, verbal abuse is funny though, i say really shocking things like "i will skin your kids" makes me laugh my ass off

No offense but you shouldn't have fronted him anything. And over half the worlds population lives off less than $2 a day.
