And it's only 1100hrs
Dorchester is a pretty sleepy town and we have a beautiful Victorian gardens in the centre of town where I take the kids a lot
So sat round the bandstand with coffee and ice cream for the boy, when this guy starts on at the guy who was sat on the bench next to me. The usual low level grumblings about "you were cracking on to my missis yesterday" stuff. Then the language got a bit naughty in front of kids so I asked if they could take it some place else and sort it out.
Next thing he's on the other giving him a solid drubbing. All like 5' away from my kids. Instead of walking away I grabbed the bloke off the top and yelled at him about being a prat and right in front of my kids. Just as I though he was gonna lamp me, he just shrugge his shoulders apologised profusely and walked of crying!!!!! The other guy thanked me for helping and legged it!!
Brilliant. My boy thinks I'm some sort of action hero now

Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
Gonna go see if I can climb buildings or fly now
Getting mouthy in front of kids is bad enough..
Getting naughty in front of kids is out-of-order..
Props on being brave/stupid enough to break it up though fella. I know plenty of "hardmen" who'd have walked away......

Funny ain't it
I think I just felt so angry these two twats had decided to have it out right next to my kids
Another Dorchester forumite!
Never seen any trouble like that in Borough Gardens before. Though did once have to tell a bunch of young teenagers to get off the little kids playground equipment because my two year old (four now) wanted to use it. They were doing the typical teen thing of trying to put the swings over the top, going round the roundabout like a spin cycle.
Actually I'm a Manc. But lived in Charlton Down (just north of Dorchester) from early 2009 until last spring. We've moved further west now near Beaminster. We do still often pop over to Dorchester though.
just because you do, doesn't mean you should.
Blimey, you showed some Balls there, Travis.
How old were the Morons? It would be more shameful behaviour if they were fully grown men rather than late teens.
Regardless, anyone anywhere near adult age should have enough decency to keep it away from kids seeing it.
Well done.

By the big health centre Emp, I assume you mean Dorset County Hospital!! And yeah Vampire Kebabs is still run by a lovely bunch of Turks.
@Grumpyrocker - thought I was the only Dorset forumite! Do you ever make it into town or do you hang out with the arty lot in Bridders?
Then ill kick his sorry ass :-j
