Oh…you only post here. Sure it’s perfectly normal to have 66,272 posts so.
this is surely the subject for your next story… the basement dweller is some piece of work…
If we assume that every post takes 20 seconds to write then that’s a total of 22,090 minutes or 368 hours or 15 full days of posting
And that’s before we account for the amount of time he spends trawling Broadsheet, Twitter, Joe.ie, Facebook, Sportsfile, The Sunday Independent and Peoples Republic of Cork for content for his posts.

You take that back you cunt, I’ve never been on that Cork website or joe.ie. I do apologise to you personally for not going to joe.ie but I’m sure you do ok regardless.
And that’s only under this username.
[QUOTE=“HBV*, post: 1116034, member: 234”]not at all saying you should give him a clatter or anything but you do need to sort that out fairly quickly.
im a great believer in keeping kids busy otherwise they wreck your head when they are sitting around. a lot of it is lazyness or boredom which leaves energy that needs to be burnt off. cycling is a waste of time im afraid. its a solitary activity as such and that is why you see weirdos taking it up in later life, but the martial arts thing is a good idea but he is also old enough for boxing so bring him there and let him channel it in that direction among boys his own age and he will learn a bit of respect quickly enough id say.[/QUOTE]
The cycling is good I would say. At least they are getting out and about (Ben & Jerry), it’s honing in on their competitive side as one wants to beat the other all the time. I’m out with them too with little Derbhla on a carrier seat so it’s a family event.
[QUOTE=“artfoley, post: 1116114, member: 179”]hae a kilkenny style training session with the young lad and when the opportunity arises flatten him and remind him a la keane/haaland who’s the boss
if you dont do it now he’ll turn out to be a pork pie hat, tweed trousers wearing, fixie riding, nutribullet swilling hipster[/QUOTE]
The only thing I’ll apologise for is for forgetting to add Hogan Stand to that list.
Interesting reply.
im afraid having an aggressive child is a symptom of having a naturally aggressive parent and a parent who needs to review his own behavioral patterns in front of the kids, reflect on what you have been doing wrong, make changes, positive affirmations and a more loving attitude towards him will help
also getting the kids into what you are into is a massive no no, knock the cycling on the head, dont let him play hurling, they obviously hate it, reading between the lines, ben & jerrys passion wouldnt be your traditional team sports rather they would be more suited to ballet or netball, embrace that or they will hate you

I assume this approach means your kids are mad into GGA?
one of my kids plays gga in school but she hasnt expressed an interest in doing it in her spare time thank fuck. we have had some blazing rows about her buying a bike with gears and eventually i had to back down and let her do what she wanted

Thanks for the input @The Selfish Giant. I’ll be ignoring all of it but thanks anyway
I don’t see that the first person singular is appropriate. MBB and associates represents a collective.
Simply refer to us as Locutus.

[QUOTE=“fenwaypark, post: 1107743, member: 276”]Did you try this

@fenwaypark you fucking legend. The little lad is finally taking some bottle bainne!
Picked up a tip (think it was a child psychologist we were referred to) which have had to put into action recently
Basically if a kid (our lad is 6) is having issues or is upset then ask him to draw a picture as they don’t have capacity to explain things at that age but can draw and then explain it
I put my Pearl Jam “Jeremy” fears to one side But did hope there would be no pictures of lemon yellow Suns and arms raised in a V
Anyway it works quite well - seems to allow them to talk about things as they use the drawing to express it and then discuss what they drew
