Helicopter ParentsBack when young ScaryDuck worked in the Dole office rather than simply queuing in it, he had to deal with a claimant brought in by his mum. She did all the talking. He was 40 years old.
Have you had to deal with over-protective parents? Get your Dad to tell us all about it.

Gcse traumaI was 15 young all was going swimmingly until Ms Bowden decided to fuck my life up once and for all. You see Ms Bowden was my English teacher and she was a ball breaker at the best of times. I never usually paid any attention to her classes as they were always the same old “men are scum and women should be more than equal tripe”.
But this lesson was different, different how you ask; well this was different because she demanded that I write a 40 page essay on a local person or persons for my English qualification. Now I’m not the best at English as you can all tell so I was bricking it.
I decided that if I chose the most compelling story to write it could bypass my lack or grammatical knowledge and thus gain me higher marks.
This led to me frantically searching for a suitable person to base me essay on. For the life of me I couldn’t find anyone with any character or interesting life at all so I resided to failing my GCSE’s and being an illiterate bastard for the rest of my life.
This was until I found them. These were the 2 single greatest people you’ll ever be more likely to meet. Kind, loving, thoughtful, caring, gracious, the list is endless. Now by this point I only had a few days before the dreaded deadline so I had to write like I’ve never wrote before.
I finished on time. I was elated but not only that my gruffalo of a teacher wanted to sent it to the local newspaper so that it could be printed for all to read. My story about the couple who dedicated there lives to helping others had saved my educational career.
A little back-story on the magnificent couple they were quite well off after living in the city and both had vast medical training so they would use there private helicopters to start an air rescue programme which had never been seen in these parts.
My story did get published and I have the front page framed at home. I still don’t know why they wanted to publish a story on a couple with a helicopter looking for accommodation but here’s the headline anyway.

Baddum-tish
Sorry so very very sorry
