Letting the side down...

I have to say that it is very difficult to lecture my child on being a responsible citizen when between them her aunts, uncles and grandparents have variously;

- run off to join the circus,
- been the bodyguard of the president of an African Country,
- been sent to prison for telling a judge to fuck off during their divorce case,
- had 5 children by the age of 23,
- had the pub close on the day of their funeral because it had lost it's best customer
- travelled overland from London to Australia in a Land Rover pausing only to have a baby on the back seat en route
- defended a charge to a public order offence on the basis that none of the witnesses had seen them or they would have mentioned the naked man with purple bollocks.

There is no hope, or at least.............very little

The last one is great. I think they should have mentioned the nakedness. However, being the body guard for an African president. That is way too dodgy, one shouldn't even contemplate that.

I don't know , this list rather illustrates the piont. I rather admire the getting sent to prison for telling the judge to fuck off and the purple bollocks one at the end
