Wow, a Dad at 15, he seems responsible and intelligent.
Well no... He was 15

I would think the majority of 15 year olds unfortunately wouldn't be either.

That's only acceptable if used as an excuse, like this year when I got my Dad tickets to see Sean Lock for his birthday. He enjoyed it, but really I bought the tickets because I wanted to go.

I was in a pub in Soho a few years back when Sean Lock walked over and asked if he could take a stool that was vacant at our table.  I apologised and told him he could not because a friend of mine who was at the bar was using it.  Over the years, the story got embellished by my mates who now tell everyone I kicked Sean Lock's head in.  But I didn't.  I just told him he couldn't use the bar stool.

Ha ha, I like that.

Were you aware at the time who he was, when you refused him a stool kicked his head in.

Oh yes.  I've been to see him several times over the years.  And once in Swindon, I think.

I thought I posted that last week but seemingly I didn't!

Update on that is some shop felt sorry for him and I think he got his money back AND an XBox.

The Ebay listing had the word photo once and he emailed the seller asking if it was a real Xbox One console which the seller told him it was. So yeah it was too good to be true but I reckon a fair few on here have probably been conned before.

But he's played a blinder by going to the paper with a non-story, it went national and he got a free console out of it. Maybe not so thick after all. It wouldn't surprise me if we found out the seller was his mate or something in a couple of weeks.

Cex are no mugs either - they couldn't give a shit about this kid but they're getting global publicity for a few hundred quid.

I really don't see why people are annoyed or angry about this. It's a fucking games console, it's not something that will change his life. Grow up.

Having a mouth ulcer at the back of my throat on a part that makes me gag uncontrollably if I try to apply anything onto it.

Fucking hate the bastard things. It's like having a sore throat you can do nothing about.

Never heard of one that far back. I used to get ulcers when I was stressed but I don't get stressed any more. Can't you try gargling TCP? Does that still exist in the UK? Violent stuff, but no infection resists it.

It's more on the bit connecting my tongue and tonsil than actually throat per se. I normally use a combination of Corsodyl, bongela and salt, but it's in a really awkward position that I can't get a decent amount of mouthwash to or apply anything to kill it.

Covonia throat spray. It's so good I sometimes use it when I am perfectly healthy. Active ingredient is benzocaine (same as Bongela) and it's a liquid so should cover the ulcer. you can get from the pharmacy counter in Boots.
