Having endured having one next door
I found that the average Saturday and Sunday afternoon entailled being a prisoner in my own home as all the kids from the street bounced up and down on the other side of the fence screaming their heads off.

If you have an ounce of decency and consideration you will not buy a trampoline for your little bastards.

getting a bit worked up?


As long as there having fun in there OWN garden, you don't have to be locked up inside because you can hear other people having fun in there own gardens, or because people are enjoying bbq's im a chef and for one love BBQ's and there is no way to actually (100% successfully) recreate the taste of meat cooked on a BBQ.

"the taste of meat cooked on a BBQ"
Half burnt. Do me a fucking favour.

As for people enjoying themselves in their OWN garden: would you enjoy it if I lived next door to you and decided to play my music very loudly in my OWN house? I could also light a bonfire if you like?

I don't have any little bastards fortunately. The trampoline would be purely for my use and if you heard screaming from me I would ask you call an ambulance.
Don't worry I'm sure one of your neighbouring little bastards will break something soon as most parents appear to be too stupid to supervise their offspring! The novelty will wear off at that point.

We appear to have got off on the wrong foot
whatever that means.

Would you like to come to mine for a barbecue?

Supervising..?
Bollocks - you think they should all be always 100% safe and observed at all times? Utter bollocks. If all our parents did that, then every QoTW would be dull as shit.

Kids *shouldn't* be over supervised, otherwise they don't *learn* anything, especially about managing personal risk. Just be on hand to ferry to A&E where necessary.

Oh, and don't bother with those dumb nets for the trampolines - again, stupidly overprotective, and fails to teach kids to *avoid* the riskiest stuff.
