noisy neighbor's
the new next door neighbor's are doing my brain in. playing their music at all hours of the day and night they are. it's a piss take. if this carries on i'm going round there. 2 days i'll give them, then i'm round there to have words. people think they can do what they want. you've got to make a stand or who knows where these things can lead. and if the man of the house wants it he can have it as well. i'm telling yer, he wants to try it on with an orange belt in Shotokan Karate and he can suffer the fucking consequences

i've been doing the old Shotokan for 2 years now as it happens. it's down to my son john to be fair. his friend tony purr had taken it up so of cause john's got to have his slice of the steak and kidney. then again ... if it was good enough for a son of the purrs then it was good enough for a son of yours truly, so me and his mother took him into town and got him kitted out. none of your cheap second-hand shite out of loot neither. no. this was your geniune okinawan regalia. the proper outfit. some of the shite these parents put on there kids is embarrassing. some of em wear bloody tracksuits whilst going in for their belts for fuck sake. how do these parents expect their kids to have any sort of enthusiasm if they're made to wear tracksuits whilst doing their belts. how they can call themselves parents at all is a mystery to me

anyway. midway through his second lesson john decides it's not for him this karate lark. this pisses me off no end. especially after all the trouble i've gone to with kitting him out and that.

personally i've always been a glass is half full sort of bloke so with a bit of prompting from alan the sensai, i decide that i'll have a go myself. i mean how hard can it be know what i mean. anyway i loved it. the suit was a bit tight but i soon got used to that. turns out i was a natural. the stances came natural and before you can say chuck norris i'd done the business and got my red belt. i would have gotten it 3 months earlier but i fucking well fell over in the middle of the grading the first time around. total embarrassment. i've never been a quitter though and 3 months later i got the belt that i so richly deserved which just goes to show you can achieve anything in this life if you put your mind to it

what was i talking about? oh year. The neighbors. like i said i'll give them two days then i'm round there for words
