Yeah and you also kept calling my mum Norma-Jean coz you couldn't remember her name.

To be fair you may have been steaming but your never loud, abusive or just a total cunt to the other members of the public.

Even when were out with your mates the only one i try and stay away from when hes drunk is Gary because he's a pain in the arse.

I can just see the story in the P&J now.
Starting a campaign to ban tins of sweets due to the rise of teenage drive by sweetings.

it appears that after all our pontificating that the motorbike driver was not a chav but actaully a member of the landed gentry!

"Lewis Westlake-Tritton"????

Actually, maybe he is a chav and his mother could only narrow the father down to two potential candidates.






BBC NEWS | Scotland | North East/N Isles | Youth in court over parade crash

A 17-year-old has appeared at Aberdeen Sheriff Court after a motorbike accident during the city's Torcher Parade, which left nine people injured.

Lewis Westlake-Tritton, of Ness Place, in Aberdeen, was charged with theft, culpable and reckless behaviour and road traffic offences.

He made no plea or declaration and was remanded in custody.

Another 17-year-old, who was charged over the incident, is due to make a court appearance at a later date.

The motorcycle mounted a pavement and collided with pedestrians in Aberdeen's Union Street on Saturday.

It happened at about 2030 BST during the city's Torcher Parade, an annual student fund-raising event in the city centre.

The casualties were taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary for treatment.

None of the injuries was believed to be life-threatening.

The casualties included a 40-year-old woman, who sustained a leg injury, and a 25-year-old man, who had injuries to his face and hand.

Leg injuries

Two 17-year-old men were hurt, one with leg and chest injuries, and the other with leg and hand injuries.

Two 13-year-old girls, a 13-year-old boy and a 11-year-old boy all suffered leg injuries and another 11-year-old boy was treated for shock.

Bystanders said they heard screams as the bike ran into pedestrians.

The parade draws large crowds from all over the north east of Scotland.



He made no plea or declaration and was remanded in custody.

Another 17-year-old, who was charged over the incident, is due to make a court appearance at a later date.

Are the people from the bike included in the "9 victims" or are the additional because there is no indication from the news report that anyone was suffering from more than cuts or the odd broken leg.
