Not any more.
2 young children at the moment.
I did have 7 cats when I was younger.
My dad bought two originally, a boy and girl, and was all "I don't believe in getting them neutered", by the time they had had their 3rd litter he was like "Ok, I may have to rethink this".
We gave away loads but couldn't bear to part with some of them, so we ended up with 7.

That explains things, thanks <ok>

You basically have feelings of insecurity as animals took away your childhood. The only way to release that pain is to shag fake animals.

I knew studying psychology would come in handy one day!

I hate those things.
Same with Wagon Wheels. My mates used to bring them to school in their lunch boxes.
Tried one once, made me want to puke....not a big Marshmallow fan

So you like shagging inflatables and you don't like Wagon Wheels?

Anything else?

Wagon Wheels were always the last **** left in the cupboard when I was growing up, with cheese n onion crisps.

As soon as the Wagon Wheels were visible, momma knew it was time to get to the supermarket and restock that ****.

S&V crisps were demolished before the shopping even got unpacked... cheese n onion were for the scrounge kids, who never went home to get fed.

Not really, you ended up a social worker <laugh>
 
Spurlock's currently sitting on his Chesterfield writing contemporary poetry.

I found o'wither come hence young sparrow
Tomorrow's winter fleece
Tis me and I, upon the grass
Without sorrow alas **** tha police


<rofl>
 
Yeah but Bod I'm not a social worker <laugh>

Like seriously. I'm not.

What do they call it these days then?
When you have a job working with outcasts, delinquents, immigrants and troubled kids who need re housing and ****?
Do they not call them social workers these days?

I liaise with Social Workers most days, if I can get hold of the ****ers!!

I'm an area manager (very recent promotion) for a supported accommodation company that takes anyone (16-21) with vulnerabilities such as mental health, behavioural, unaccompanied asylum seekers, orphans, etc. etc. . Before that I was a support worker for the same firm working with the same kids.

Then most of my time before that I worked in the prison's, starting off as a Psychologist (hated it) and then to a substance misuse worker (loved it).

I've always worked supporting people in some way or another. Never been or never would be a social worker. Their jobs are crazy these days, unsure how much people know on here but Social Workers are extremely overworked, case loads getting bigger by the week and staff shortages happening all the time. I personally know of 2 social workers that have had mental breakdowns due to their work.

I would class that, maybe erroneously, as a social worker, to be honest.
So would most though I imagine.

My brother worked in Woodhill Prison as a psychologist for Sex offenders.....not a pleasant job.
 
I wouldn't trust anyone that doesn't like cheese and onion crisps to be honest.

No, my job is nothing like a social workers job. Social workers don't have much contact with their caseload they just sit in an office doing paperwork, and go to the occasional house visit or child protection meeting. I'm around the residents all day until 19:30. Chill with them, eat with them, shout at them, get shouted at by them, basically I get verbally abused for 10.5 hours a day!!

I've worked with plenty of sex offenders in the past too, very interesting I thought.

I used to run an 8 week thinking skills course for life sentence prisoners only. Usually all in for murder, just me and 8 murderers trying to change the way they think. Bizarre, good though.
