SNOW!!!

Last night I got mugged, for the first time ever. Five odious little scrotes after what they could get. I'm fine, just very pissed off. HULK WRITE STERN LETTER. One punched me (they scattered when I swung back), breaking a filling. They got my headphones. My laptop hit the pavement and has a pile of scuffs and a really bad hole and crack in the case, but that's why work has insurance. The police popped around and were very nice and helpful. Dentist on Friday.

arkady bought me replacement Skullcandies off Amazon :-D

I stopped at the poundshop today and got £1 in-ear 'phones. They're pink with diamantes on them. "Stylish earphones with fab bling!" says the package. Surprisingly, they're complete shit. Who'da thunk?

Lunch with nyecamden today. He was just the tonic.

We have shown Freda "here is the church here, is the steeple, open the doors and there's all the people." BEST GAME EVER, BETTER THAN TV.

Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear that. Hope dentist is painless.

Kinell! Glad you're ok!
Snow? We've had drizzle all day :(

Oh my god! I am really sorry to hear this. I have been through something similar recently.

[ninetimestodie.livejournal.com]

Poop :( Glad you're okay though overall!

[reddragdiva]

He tends to be brutally efficient and leave me feeling somewhat like a processed cheese slice. Cheap though ;-p

[friend-of-tofu.livejournal.com]

Erk! So glad my dentist doesn't fit that description - I remember having a dentist like that and it was scary.

[reddragdiva]

His work is good, but his chairside manner lacks quite a lot.

Oh shit, glad you're okay! Fucking kids! What were they thinking, you would have been about 2 feet taller than them.

[seahorsemystic.livejournal.com]

Again, I am so sorry this happened to you. I am grateful you were not badly injured.

Freda is growing up so fast! I loved that game when I was little. I wonder if it will work on my husband later, when I ask for an upgrade on our rooms in London. lol

Take care my friend. I wish all of you a safe holiday!

(PS did you get my card?)

My best wishes, hope your ok. And you don't have any nasty after effects from it. Peace n Luv.

Argh, the little shits :( Glad you're okay!

I'll give you the advice my Auntie Carol (Dad's cousin, who was landlady of our local and ruled with a rod of iron) gave me when I was going through painful and extensive orthodontic work in my teens:

"When the dentist leans over you, reach down, grab him by the bollocks, look him dead in the eye, and say, "We're not going to hurt each other, are we?'"

GRR!
Glad you are reasonably ok

[hairyears.livejournal.com]

Remarkable. You're not, like, a small bloke and I wouldn't expect street animals to take the risk.

Glad to hear you're OK though... And I'm beginning to wonder if there are accurate street crime statistics for Walthamstow.

I don't think we got one this year yet! I'll check around ... I have a memory like a dad around Christmas.

[reddragdiva]

There were five of them, and I was bimbling along, head in the smog, listening to music on headphones, so may have looked like a victim. They did get my full attention, however, and decided they didn't want it after all.

[seahorsemystic.livejournal.com]

Holly, whom lives in Ely received hers last week, but I never know about the mail over there. lol

You are much more efficient at not losing all that much than some of my coworkers in Philadelphia -- five of them, robbed by two guys who claimed they had guns (not a usual problem in your country). Go you for swinging back, sorry about the tooth and the lost earphones.

I bought some poundshop headphones once, I don`t think they even lasted for one album.

They do however render the project I really must get round to before it loses any cultural cache it might once have had of spending a day randomly getting on and off buses handing the little dears with their tinny mobile phone music out loud a set of head phones and then smiling sweetly affordable.

See also randomly getting on buses, targetting the little dears, sitting next to them, and cranking out the gregorian chants with a "what? what? whats your fucking problem?" look on my face.

Pooooo! Didn't know about the filling *hugs*

[arkady.livejournal.com]

No, over here they usually have knives instead.

Kathy's response was "Are they still there? Let's go get them!"; I will admit my instinctive response was "Let me grab my sword and I'll join you!" Instead we settled for the far less exciting but far more legal approach of calling the police instead.

(Kathy being my 14-year-old who's had quite a few run-ins with the local gangs, including breaking the collarbone of one gang member.)

:-((( That sucks so much! I'm glad to hear they only got away with your headphones and that you got away with just a bit of damage to a work laptop. But seriously, what is wrong with people??
*Hugs*
