Just been out for a few odds and ends and on coming up my High Street saw a teenage lad larking about on the pavement with his mates and deliberately blocking it for a woman with a pram, he was giving it all the Liam Gallagher bit. She obviously said something to him and he was in mid turn to reply when he turned and clonked right into a lampost, he had obviously lost his bearings and he went straight into it at full force.
As funny as that was his reaction of breaking down and crying like a toddler just set me off. Such a contrast to the mouthy lad just moments earlier. I couldnt help it I just cracked up, totally unable to help him with his bleeding nose.
Got a few strange looks though .. would you have laughed ??

It was class, it was the bit where he became a toddler in about two seconds that set me off. I am having my lunch just now and having to try to put it out of my mind in case I choke.
I'll bet he goes home and tells his mum he got the bust nose fighting off about a dozen guys .. ;)
What..laugh at the pain and suffering of a fellow human being, not to mention the loss of respect and social standing in his peer group occasioned by this tragic event?:roll:
Too right!:D
But the great thing is that his mates will NEVER let him forget this!
Street justice at its best :lol:
I propose that the said lamp post be awarded honourary .orger status.
Agree with everyone above 100%. Justice was done .Like Earl Hickey says KARMA !
I would have laughted all right, serves him right maybe he won't be should a big man now
too right without a dounbt. i would have laughed so hard MY nose would start to bleed!![lol]

I once saw a young lad on a motor bike pull round some cars at a set of traffic lights. He was revving his engine and letting his bike jerk against the brake.... when the lights changed he let rip with throttle and clutch and went straight over backwards. Gave him a slow hand clap.

Just seen the lad outside my local shop. He twigged it was me when I went in and on leaving with my cigarettes I was treated to a tirade I couldnt repeat here for laughing at him. It was a bit difficult to make some of it out as he sounds like that guy on the old Tunes ad .. "Id like a decond class deteurn to Dottingham please ... :lol:"
His nose was all strapped up and his face looks like an explosion in a bandage cupboard. The more he said it wasnt funny in that nasal tone the harder I laughed .. it just kept replaying in my head over and over.
Did attempt to soften the blow (heh heh !!) by saying it wasnt his fault .. that lamp post was clearly lying in wait for him .. ;)
Brilliant camel spider you have made me laugh so much today :lol:

Like everyone else on here, I would have laughed all right.
Back in the 70s when the skinhead look was all the rage I saw one of them kicking over orange cones next to a hole in the road. Among the assorted bits and pieces was what looked like a small sandbag. The wee twit took a good swing at that too. It turned out to be a half length of pre-cast concrete kerb, which he impacted end-on. One broken ankle coming up! This was outside the Commonwealth Pool in Edinburgh. A few of us were standing round him sniggering, when a bloke from the pool came out and accused *me* of hurting him. Two old wifies from the bus stop straightened him out. "Are ye daft? It's no the students that attack the skinheids noo is it?"

Can you Imagine the Ad ??
"I was being a really obnxious hoodie and stopping a woman with a pram passing me on the pavement when I was struck by a lamp post resulting in my nose looking like a squashed jam doughnut and a voice like Orville the Duck on Helium, it just jumped out at me and now I cant tell anyone how well 'ard I really am anymore because I sound really stupid. Its destroyed my life"
Dopey lawyers for you took on Hoodie X's case and we won the lampost £10 squillion for being headbutted by this complete idiot.
Said Lampost has now moved to Lanzarote for a relaxing life in the Sun iiluminating drunks who fall over long before reaching him.
Hoodie X is now making a living doing Orville the Duck impressions .. badly.
I would have laughed so much i'd have accidentally trod on him! :lol:
I can't believe how cruel some people are with their replies in this thread. Laughing at the misfortune of a others like this. Has no-one got it in their hearts to ask if the injuries were serious?
I mean the lamp post was minding it's own business, doing its civic duty of lighting the way on cold dark nights. Bet no-one has ever thanked a lamp post before now? Wee'd on by every male dog in the neighbourhood and now head butted for just being in the wrong right place at the wrong right time...

MP, what a good idea, lets start a campaign to protect our local lampost, I am sure we could find a suitable lampost and befriend it. It would never feel the need to stand alone ever again.
Best thread on here in ages - well done! :lol:

Young people have to learn that there are consequences for their actions.
The youth in question got his ,self humiliation. He will probably think twice in future
Camel Spider
06-Dec-07, 00:44
I have unconfirmed reports that the lad in question has apparently coloured the bandage with make up so it is not as conspicious.
Will investigate tomorrow, I did hear this in the Pub so the accuracy can be doubted.
Will the humiliation never end? Make up?
Muahahahahahahahahaha........

All around the world lamposts are being abused on a daily basis.
Some are rammed by cars or head-butted by complete strangers. Others are humiliated by being covered in flyers or being forced to hold large baskets of flowers for weeks on end without a break.
Many face the humiliation of being urinated on by dogs or being used as a leaning post for vomiting drunks.
They are not given the basics to survive in many cases.
All across Britain many are forced to survive without light or power and many finish their days by being impounded in scrapyards and council depots without good reason or the benefit of a fair trial.
We must stop this cruel and senseless abuse.
When you next go out, hug a lampost and, as I sign of your solidarity with it, say to the lampost - " I love you, Lampost".
Alternatively, send money to Northeners' bank account and he will hug a lampost for you.

The claim about the make up is false. I know as I have just seen the lad at the tills in my local Tesco. Cue flashbacks and Camel Spider dissolves into laughter .. again. The young lass on the till asks me if I am laughing at the bandaged chav (who by this time is giving me a look that is stripping paint off the walls behind me), thinking its a friend of hers I (attempt) composure but she just laughs and informs me that his friends have given him a new nickname in honour of the noise he made on impact with the Lamp Post .. he is now known as Thunk .. :lol::lol:

He got his just deserts. Hope he broke his nose and is scarred for life.
However in our litigious society he will probably sue the council for putting a lamp post there.
I wonder, how many of his mates have seen this thread, he may be getting well traumatised by now, poor wee loon :D and hey, who's gonna be first to tie a yellow ribbon round e lampost so we can all identify the hero of the day? [lol]

Yeah - they can be right nerds eh?... teenagers.. young louts,.. OK, OK - the lad got what he deserved but reading this thread you lot are like the gloating herd!!
How many films do you see the young nerd grow up and become someone because their life experiences taught them (some painfully :D) to be better people. I feel sorry for the lady with the pram, her humiliation but obviously not to the point she was about to give him a piece of her mind but c'mon,.. anyone talk to the lad,.. try and get him to realise the error of his ways? Probably not - teenagers - their actions are usually reactions. Did he learn from the lampost - probably not. Is he still cool in front of his mates? Probably.
Laugh? Me? Probably not,... an entirely sorry situation for both. Am I standing out from the crowd here? Oops,..... back in my box for another few months....

Rhegs .. I gave the card to the checkout lass this morning. Due back in a few days .. standby for update.
And weeboyagee .. the lad was in a situation of his own making and came a cropper in the most spectacular fashion. I am proud to be a member of the "gloating herd" as that was the funniest thing I have seen in ages, it was his own fault of his own making and there is nothing sweeter in this world to watch someone's ambition outlast their talent to their lasting embarrasment.
You would have laughed as well if you were there .. ;) .. trust me.

I think everyone should give a vote of thanks to Thunk, without his arrogance we would never have known his stupidity. I just wanted confirmation that I wasnt twisted by laughing at him, but at least I have the comfort of knowing that if I am then so are all of you .. ;)
Watching him go from being an idiot to an idiot with a broken nose to a crying idiot with a broken nose gave me the biggest laugh I have had for ages .. and still does.

Sounds lke Christmas came early on some High Street somewhere.
The icing on the cake was for someone to approach the bawling, bloodied wimp and tell him it served him right for acting like an anti-social moron.
Camel Spider, make sure that you send him a card from his lamp post with a traditional victoriana scene as they usualy contain - lamp posts. Used to have some nice ones of the Thames Embankment, had lamp posts in it as far as the eye could see. Would love to see Thunks face when he opens it. Definately worth doing!
I'm surprised you haven't awarded the lamp post a medal with a suitable citation, e.g. "For defending a lady against a Thunk". If word got around amongst the lamp posts we wouldn't need ASBOs.
To give you a inkling of what it was like perhaps, LOL!!

Nope. Grumpy Old Woman Speaking: I'm with the teenager. I'm a mother and yet I absolutely can't stand these little women with prams everywhere. They should be banned from all shops and high streets. They think they own the road. They push the pram wheels up under your (bare) heels (in summer) and do you great injury and don't even apologise. And let their bairns squawk and carry on.
I can't take my dog in a shop. Why should they take their huge pram things in shops? Get a babysitter and go shopping on your own and enjoy yourself.

No flak from me, sometimes I get hacked off with the prams as well. This was funny though because he was blocking the woman on purpose and being a prat, he did it to himself. I am just glad I witnessed it.

Saw the lad the other day. Looks like he is going to have no permanent signs of the incident. I pm'd Rheghead to let him know that the Poem he wrote and that I sent to the lad in a Xmas card went down quite well, seems the lad has a sense of humour after all.
He probably didnt have much choice to accept it in the long run. The lass I passed the card onto said his mates have been merciless.
I have got an old pair of glasses I am going to label "Lamp Post Detectors" and gift wrap for him for Xmas.

Certainly are a grumpy old women, prams are entitled to go on streets and shops just like you, not all mothers with prams take up the whole of the path or shop isles and im sure if you asked nicely they would move if in your way:(

totally agree
i have a child and when she was in a pram no one moved out the way! my friend has the same prob when out with her wee one, no one moves, we should be allowed to shop with our children!

I have to admit that when I see a woman out and about with a pram I will help her across the road and do whatever I can to make her journey through the shop or along the pavement as efficient as possible. Its the least I can do.
After all she needs to get home to make her blokes dinner.
