I have a personal dog in this fight: My eldest daughter turns 40 in 2022 and I'd really like to lay waste to Paris as has been our habit for decades. However, I have one and a bit lungs remaining so if I get covid I'm for the high jump at 55yo. So I'd rather be a dick and over react than be a dumb fuck and use ignorance as my guide.

What was it like having a kid at 16?

@taniwharugby I think the legal fight with the maternal grandparents that started once I turned 18 and continued for almost 15 years pretty much determined the rest of my life. I wouldn't have gone into Family law and international cross-border custody law otherwise - my original plan was just to do an LLB/BCA/BA while in the army. My focus changed , and it really changed direction once I left the army in 1987 when I had to decide whether to go full time into Law.

If you can wedge in a few punting anecdotes when you write it, that will help!

I got my revenge. They were mortgaged to the hilt because of all the legal costs so I arranged to buy out the mortgages as part of an investment portfolio & foreclosed on them at the first opportunity. They didn't last long after that. There was so much pain they caused to their daughter and granddaughter, I still regard that as my best work on my own behalf.

@Bones I have it on good authority they are hard to find...we must have a few in bushes out the back though.
Just leave them be anyway, you would deserve a good peck in the eye if you go sticking your nose in.Humphrey Lyttleton lives.
Hoorah!

Yeah, went over everyone's head.

@R-L's post reminded me more of Humph's double entendres. E.g. The Lovely Samantha and her bee-keeping hobby - always willing to show her male friends her 34 Bees...
We all miss Samantha. She's gone to the country residence of her new gentleman friend, who has some interesting birds in the thicket. He keeps a young chicken, but Samantha says there are also wild breeds there, and she can't wait to see his Woodcock, Pullet and Swallow.
She liked her friend’s kidneys in red wine, and his oxtail in beer, but nothing beat his tongue in cider.
