NSC decides, advice please

[shingle]

Young Shingle, currently 17 years and 2 months old wants to go on holiday to Zante with his mates for a week next September when he will be 17 years and 10 months.

Mrs shingle is a tad concerned and at the moment has not granted permission. His continual pestering is getting on my tits and for my part I've told him his fate is in the hands of NSC, if by 6pm tomorrow there are more yaes than naes then I'll give him the thumbs up. If more Naes than Yaes then it's Portree on the Isle of Skye with us,

Should I let the git go.

 

[Don Quixote]

He's the same age as me i say yes.

 

[One True BHA]

Yeah let the kid get his dick on.

 

[vulture]

no dont.....wait till he is older

 

[maffew]

definitely YES, had some great holidays with my mates that age. He'll get up to some mischief no doubt but hes gotta go

 

[Acker79]

No. But I like schadenfraude.

 

[maffew]

no dont.....wait till he is older

boooooooo

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Yeah. As long as he is with his mates he will be ok. Just make it clear you are placing a fair amount of trust in him and hope he acts FAIRLY responsibly.

 

[csider]

Let him go. He can go legally anyway.?

Will prob get arrested for puking in the pool after crashing a moped whilst high on E, AND drunk............It's a learning curve, let him go.

 

[Da Man Clay]

Surely you know there is going to be a considerable amount more yays than naes don't you?!

 

[vulture]

boooooooo

wait till you are a parent

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Let him book: the tour operator will probably have gone bust by April so it won't be a problem

 

[sir danny cullip]

He HAS to go! How is the trip being funded?

 

[Brighton Breezy]

I should have added to my original post:

Let him go AND tell him to take photos to show the good people of NSC whether they made the correct decision.

 

[csider]

no dont.....wait till he is older

Why not?

 

[maffew]

wait till you are a parent

yeah fair enough but thats practically 18

imagine if he was the only one who wasnt allowed to go dark days

 

[Djmiles]

No

 

[Rowdey]

If he can afford to pay for it himself.....let him go...

Otherwise

 

[shingle]

He HAS to go! How is the trip being funded?

He's paying for it,

He works in a chippie on friday and saturday night, and needs to stump up £50 deposit immediately, which he has, and the rest (£300) in June.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

What's the worst that could happen?

It's only the Med, not like he's going backpacking around Baghdad and Kabul.
