Lianne Gordon: Teen guilty of shooting mum through front door
 
Very, very sad - I completely fail to understand the mentally of young people that get involved with that sort of stuff especially when it involves other people that have no connection.
Poor woman, I wonder if he has any sense of shame or guilt :(

Funnily enough, the day of the demolition was a bit of a party. We'd been decanted, mostly into the nearby newbuilds on Holly Street but got evacuated to a nearby school the day three of the four tower blocks were to come down. The council had food, drink, musicians, magicians and other entrtainment, as well as bouncy castles laid on for us. Fair play to the council, we were well catered for. My oldest lad, now in his early 30s, was a toddler in a pushchair back then, and when the blocks came down he burst into tears. I was very sad too. I remember getting annoyed with some posh twat nearby, telling his kids to look at the "horrible old flats coming down". I didn't say anything as he was with his kids, but I was thinking that was our fucking home, you dick.

Update on the attempted phone theft I helped to foil a few months ago, Police called me last week and said they had not been able to arrest anyone (no surprise there tbf) but that the victim wanted to thank me, so they gave me his details - I rang him, he was very pleased to hear from me, offered to buy me some trousers (they were ripped in the incident, but I got them repaired) and he insisted on sending me a gift so I gave him my address. He's about 70, and runs orchestras, used to play in them as well. Very sweet gesture from him - he also rang the others who got involved at the time.
