I don't want a boxing match. I just intend to smash his head in with what ever comes to hand. Queensbury Rules - I shit on them.
Whatever happened to 'The Season of Goodwill' ?
What age is this HB&B person? I guess early teens - that's when most attention grabbing is at its peak. As long as everyone knows to ignore him that's fine - but he is a silly little boy.

He's in his thirties ......
My God that is extraordinary. He must have some sort of personality defect - seriously. I guess with that in mind, he should simply be ignored or encouraged to get help rather than goaded, insulted or toyed with.

40ish
I sit corrected, I knew he wasn't a teenager but for all his attempts at jocularity 40 is not a good age to be out of work.
Not yet not quite40ish
oh Uncle C BLESS YOU you'll get back to Brighton one day I am not sure when but one day, now take that Bardsleys size chip off you shoulder before it turns into a Harry Ramsdens size oneI have found this definition of an attention seeker. It may help us all understand and be more tolerant towards Inbred.
The need for attention
Human beings are social creatures and need social interaction, feedback, and validation of their worth. The emotionally mature person doesn't need to go hunting for these; they gain it naturally from their daily life, especially from their work and from stable relationships.
The emotionally immature person, however, has low levels of self-esteem and self-confidence and consequently feels insecure; to counter these feelings of insecurity they will spend a large proportion of their lives creating situations in which they become the centre of attention. It may be that the need for attention is inversely proportional to emotional maturity, therefore anyone indulging in attention-seeking behaviours is telling you how emotionally immature they are.
Attention-seeking behaviour is surprisingly common. Being the centre of attention alleviates feelings of insecurity and inadequacy but the relief is temporary as the underlying problem remains unaddressed: low self-confidence and low self-esteem, and consequent low levels of self-worth and self-love.
