[Sussex] Stay Classy Portslade

[CheeseRolls]

I know so many things are just not working nothing appears to have enough funding ye tax’s are the highest ever only yesterday a person walking two dogs stopped adjacent to Blue towers and one dog defecated the owner either not noticed or choose not to notice walks on, I chased them up the road and to be fair they did come back to clean it up but there’s another chap fairly young early 20’s who lets his greyhound do his business and always just walks off I have run after him a couple of times trying to shame him into clearing it up but he just ignors me.
feel like I am taking my life in my hands sometimes twice while on the train someone was bullying someone while on another occasion a person was being attacked I am no hero and at 64 no longer in the best of health but I cannot standby and do nothing
People all ages seem to think it’s perfectly legitimate to drop litter even when a bin is within sight.
Grass verges not cut and property boundary walls meets pavement full of weeds I know it’s the councils responsibility but surely people have enough self respect to tidy outside their own homes, chap couple of doors down was chased by someone with a machete he had to dive into a shop for protection it’s all so sadly indicative of broken Britain, sorry rant over

Good rant....

I stopped cutting my grass verge. Delivery vehicles and other large vehicles just drive onto it spreading the grass out over the pavement. Then the utility workers turn up dig up sections and throw down a handful of grass seed down before leaving. The council and the insects can fight over it, I am done - sorry.

He seemed very happy. 2 litres of White Lightning and some ganja will do that for you though. Allegedly.

Sounds like your normal away day routine

'Semi-Famous', now as the most famous portslade resident, I find that an insult.

 

[jackalbion]

So what does semi-famous mean? Are they known locally due to generally being unpleasant, or are they actual D-list celebs that have apeared on a reality TV show?

I run portslade.

Should be a tipper van that goes round. Scoop these scumbags into the back and tip them off the pier at high tide on a windy day.

On a serious note mate, i do agree with you. Twice recently I've spoke to teenagers who've dropped litter blatantly infront of me at the bus stop. Didn't go well either time, some abuse there and then and then later when seeing them again. I don't back down but it seems pointless. And I'm amazed that people are happy to live amongst their own shit. I often pick up litter and cut back vegetation around the towerblock next to where I live because no one else does, council or public. Oddly, I often feel embarassed or the eejet doing so but mostly I don't give a shit and do it anyway.

If there is any truth in god
He must be thinking why did I f***ing bother

 

[Diablo]

Wow...Got to say i would hurry on past. Knob in the car may have knife and got involved.
Fortunately none of the women involved had a weapon as could have easily escalated into something much more serious....Surely these people should at least be named and shamed.

I can confirm that @Guinness Boy never drank White Lightning on away trips.

That was, erm, me.

 

[AlbionBro]

“Bite her”

What the actual f***?

Grown women fighting in the street in front of traffic.

12 yr olds murdering people with machetes.

Honestly, the quicker climate change claims the planet and wipes out the human race, the better.

We are vile.

Speak for yourself young man, we are not all that way. I point the finger of blame at this over the top violence to drink and drug abuse, it's destroyed their brains.

 

[FCB]

Semi famous don’t forget.

Half these things are staged.

Looks staged to me too but you never know in this crazy world we live in.

 

[The Clamp]

We are the only species that hunt our own. Disgraceful.

 

[studio150]

I think you need a geography lesson, the fighting is taking place in Hove, not Portslade.

But obviously facts don't matter.

The title of the thread needs an immediate correction.

 

[The Clamp]

I disagree.

Boundary Rd is in Portslade. It even has Portslade Railway Station at the top.

 

[Chicken Run]

You are normally right about many things but in this instance i’m afraid you’re wrong, sorry TC

 

[sparkie]

Portslade Railway Station that used to be called.... "Portslade and West Hove" Railway Station.


In fact the east side of that road is Bounday Road, Hove and the west side of the road is Station Road, Portslade. Any fights on the east pavement are in Hove.

 

[The Clamp]

Hmmm

Correct and a check on any of the businesses on th left side going down to the seafront will reveal a ‘BN3’ Hove postcode whereas the other side in BN41

Good news! Lots of other animals kill other members of the same species for lots of different reasons.

Male and female mammals kill their own species for different reasons

Adult mammals have the capacity to kill other members of their own species, but males generally seem to kill to reduce competition while females kill to protect their young

Apparently it's "almost unheard of among bats" if you want to feel down on humanity anyway.

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

Not true, lots of animals do, although some may not have evolved as much.
