At least that what happened on the telly when one of them got shot by a cyber person. Or something.

So it'll probably be fine by the time you get home.

We're still utterly furious / disappointed.

Considering how much leaway he is given I can understand your disappointment.

( girlinthehole, Tue 31 May 2011, 14:06, Reply)

Exactly.
We suspect that he's just had a massive party all weekend in our house. He certainly didn't stay with his grandparents on Saturday as he was supposed to. Considering the levels of hospitality we've shown to his mates in the past, the utterly contemptible lack of respect that has been shown to us in our absence is completely abhorrent. Never again.

This does mean that I'll probably be in London on my own, while the missus goes to the Galtres festival without me.

Fucking hell fella, that's not good at all
I was always very careful with my parents house, never let it be left in a mess when they came back, except for once.

Their reaction that time ensured it was something I'd never do again.

( girlinthehole, Tue 31 May 2011, 14:17, Reply)

Tell me about it.
Practically every cup and glass in the house has been used and are currently piled up in the sink or on the bench; they've been smoking in the house (they know we don't do this so what on earth made them think it was acceptable for them to do it I don't know) and using cups and dishes as ash trays. And haven't even had the fucking common sense to cover their tracks either.

We're livid, utterly livid. On the plus side, at least we came back and the house was still standing.

The missus sends boob squishing hugs, btw.

Surely if nothing has been damaged or stolen you've had a bit of a result

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 31 May 2011, 14:23, Reply)

That is the plus side, yes.
But he was supposed to be staying at a mate's on Friday and his grandparents on Saturday. It's the deceit and lies that we can't stomach; at least one of the mates he said was here we don't even know, and, like I say, we've shown huge hospitality to his mates in the past and this is how they repay it.
( Davros' Granddad a voice of calm reason in a world of spastics., Tue 31 May 2011, 14:28, Reply)

The only thing for it is to take his keys off him and say that if you aren't in the house then neither is he.

God knows.
It galls me to think that we're not going to get weekends away together for the foreseeable future because the little sod can't be trusted to stay where he's supposed to be staying. I think his key will be coming off him forthwith.

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Tue 31 May 2011, 14:37, Reply)

Devil's Advocaat and all that:
My brother and I were trusted with my parents' house when they went away from when I was about 15. Never once did we repay the trust given us - we had fornight-long parties inc indoor smoking, we brewed up magic mushrooms in my mother's preserving pans and at one point made a Dream Machine (see Brion Gysin) out of my father's record player. And all this from our house right in the middle of Winchester College - a massive security breach.

We did have the sense to tidy up afterwards though - but maybe things just got out of hand. You have to slightly high-five the lad, surely?

At least he's not a billy no-mates loser.

No, he's been a little shit, Monty.
He wasn't even trusted with the house, he was supposed to be staying elsewhere and he knew he wasn't meant to have any mates around while we weren't there but still did it anyway.

Any of his mates that come round will receive a royal bollocking for their part in it. Not that they're actually welcome here anymore.
( Davros' Granddad a voice of calm reason in a world of spastics., Tue 31 May 2011, 14:36, Reply)

Has the bollocking (I assume) you've already given him sunk in at all.
Or does he think you're making a big deal out of nothing?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 31 May 2011, 14:37, Reply)

He hasn't surfaced yet, so I'm not sure.
He did tidy the living room and cleaned outside last night, but the dishes are still waiting to be done.

And you were suitably punished I hope?
The thing is that when you have parents like DG and Sweary who are open-minded, free-thinking and willing to give you some freedom in spreading your teenage wings, to repay them in such a way is downright despicable.
( girlinthehole, Tue 31 May 2011, 14:44, Reply)

No, we weren't ever really punished beyond having a serious talk about stuff.
My parents were trendy liberals and we were left to do what we wanted, to quite an extent. I never got grounded - but then I never really got caught. Except for once when I had 15 foil-wrapped hash cakes in my wardrobe. Even then I was a criminal genius:

'Why have you got them, and in such large quantities?'

'I don't smoke, do I?'

I have already said in no uncertain terms
that I don't give a shit what he does when he leaves school, but doing nothing whilst living in our house is not an option.
( Davros' Granddad a voice of calm reason in a world of spastics., Tue 31 May 2011, 14:58, Reply)

As BGB says
We are quite liberal with him. Some of his mates are given a hard time by their parents for nothing; others parents just don't seem to give a shit either way. They all say they love coming to ours because of how relaxed it is, and this is our reward for being cool with them.

Little fuckstarts.
( Davros' Granddad a voice of calm reason in a world of spastics., Tue 31 May 2011, 14:55, Reply)

No, because I knew that I would be beaten from here until next Sunday if I did.
My Gran asked me to stay at hers while she was away for a couple of nights when I was 16 and said I could have a mate over as well. A bunch of people got wind of this; I found out, rang one of them and told him I wasn't staying over anymore because I new what would probably happen.

I went back in time in a Delorean
And got my parents together and then, as I was about go back to 1985 I remembered getting a bollocking so I thought I'd mention it, just in case they eased off a little.

EDIT: our parents never actually said we couldn't have parties. They just assumed we wouldn't and, never finding out, had no reason to.
