What should one do with forgotten toys?

[100%]

Please advise.
Cause 50% is getting decadent.

Made a pillar and a bed frame out his lego, but as for the rest...

Tell people you're taking them to the charity shop but store them in your shed so that you have more fuel for the next fire you have in the garden.

That's what any sane person would do.

Well, when I was a kid my dad would routinely have a clearout of my toy box and give my toys to children in the street we lived on, guilt tripping me with the virtues of generosity.

When he's old and infirm and I can finally run faster than him (the day will come) I am going to give away his fishing gear to the newly retired :sly:.

[Squeamous]

Can I just ask, was this thread an excuse to play with your son's toys? Hmmmm?

[chalice]

I'll have the Postman Pat van please.

[Mr JP Fugley]

Why have you laid them out on a salt plain.

Indeed met a guy who put his daughters barbi stuff in an oven, let it melt halfway. Looked yummier than it was.

So you think parents should keep ALL toys of their kids until they are old enough to decide what to do with them on ebay?

Exactly :01: There are billions of cool things to do with them.

Pat is still "cool" sort of,on occasion, soon to be space filler. Will contact you as soon as.

Wrong on two accounts.
1. cocaine
2. He (50%) lined them up. (it's his new thing, after seeing "cars" movie where they all line up to race.) They are his fav toys, only cars. Its the stuffed toys section which need an alternate function.

Plus the little baby stuff.

[Something Else]

Keep em in the attic for the grand-kids. :smilie4:

In the mean time you could give em to someone else's kids that you like to play with until they grow out of them.

I had a good collection of airfix models and model armies - never did find out what happened to them :idunno:

Mum was a bit mental though - in fact still is ... got a text from her today "your friend Sparks' name was ()" I was like "Yeah why"?
Reply "He's dead" :(

Sorry about Sparks.
Childhood friends are part you.

Fuck sake, Les' Mum is harsher than a manker on the blob.

Sorry for your loss like Les.

Cheers - his brother and he were good friends of mine back in the 70s/80s. His younger brother died a few years ago - he really got hooked on the bottle (a bit of a problem up in the Highlands). I haven't found out how Sparks died yet. My mother is on the case.

Hopefully she'll break the actual details a bit more gentlier.

She is harsh to the max - no mistake.

Why have you laid them out on a salt plain.

Would you for once speak English? Is your mind disabled all the time? It would appear so.

[CrabGirl]

What's difficult to understand about "Have you laid them out on a salt plain"? :confused:

No such thing as a salt plain. Makes about as much sense as your next reply "manker on the blob." You people just make up words. I am going to post like you do. People see it what a blob ie skunk ice.

Geezer, how comes you're such a wankstain?

Is it because you can't have sex anymore?

Because that doesn't stop most people from being decent human beings on this forum.

Or maybe it's because you have realised that your happy days are over and you just can't stand it.

You silly, silly old cunt.

[Mr JP Fugley]

Worst troll in the World ever. :glag:

Don't call me "you people". I was just asking a question about what was difficult to understand.

For your information Salt Plains are a geographic feature resulting from the evaporation of an expanse of saltwater leaving a large expanse of salty ground. Check your facts before you abuse people for the sake of it.

[Mr JP Fugley]

Don't rise to it ffs. The blokes trolling, why feed it.

Well as I said before. You people are definitely not from this planet. You would not last as long as a fart in a windstorm at any other forum.

[CrabGirl]

I can't help it! It makes me feel rage and right now I have a lot of rage to express. :lol:

[Snee]

I'm not really sure what he's angry about anyways. Is it that he doesn't get what people who weren't talking to him were talking about? :unsure:

It's not as if "on the blob" or "salt plain" aren't googlable, like :blink:

[CrabGirl]

I don't think I've seen this one before... has he been good?

There are other forums?

[Old Geezer]

I've been around 78 years. Anyone still using Windows 95 can't be the sharpest knife in the drawer. I was born in the morning but not this morning. I read and understand English quite well and you people appear to use the English language at the level of a first grader.

[Snee]

:idunno: he's certainly not one of my interwebs-nemesii.

I've only scrolled past him in passing, like, before :unsure:



He's a big fan of JP, though, it seems.


Edit: and a merkin, going by his linguistic skillz :dabs:

[Mr JP Fugley]

Not even amusing, he really is rubbish at it.

I can see the point of a decent troll. Fair do's at least they make me laugh.

However if you want a direction to vent your spleen, that's as good as any. Just bear in mind that he'll be sitting there, getting a wee bit of a semi, thinking that you've risen to the bait.

The sad thing is, I don't even think he's trolling.

I think he's genuinely bemused by our wordplay.

Nevertheless, he be dead soon.

So, win for the wurld.

Don't be ridiculous, no-one is that befuddled.

It's faux semi-literacy and well you know it.

And if he's got a semillion then he likes his wine. So we might get on.

Naw, girl, he had the prostate aids.

He's buggered.

[bornwithnoname]

100% ya can't give away your kids toys.... thats just wrong:angry:

It seems like I have this same conversation with the missus on a regular basis.:frusty:

[CrabGirl]

I made my nephew sort through his millions of toys when I was last at home. He lives with my parents and they don't have a lot of room. I asked him to choose some which he didn't play with as much or that he didn't like as much as others and we'd give them to the "poor children", He was very good about it and we cleared loads without getting rid of anything good, just all the cheap plastic shit they tend to accumulate. This taught him to share, not to hoard, and gave him the impression he wasn't growing up in a poor household.

Child manipulation FTW!!!!

[Squeamous]

That's exactly the spiel I got :angry:.

[CrabGirl]

And did you grow up to be a materialistic little hoarder?

[Squeamous]

I like stuff, but I suppose I throw out old stuff before I buy new stuff. Being limited to a one bedroom flat kind of helps :D.

Seriously, no I suppose not.
