"irritating" him. No reason to resort to threats of physical violence. As I said, Jason couldn't give as good as he got.

Have you ever been irritated by someone? Did you threaten to deck them?

OllyK

Bullying does NOT require threats or actual physical violence, verbal taunting is also valid as bullying.

TheManOnTheStreet

I see the kids have joined in.....
How mature.

juan

come on TMOTS - You're well and truly *beaten*
mental bullying is at least as bad as physical

fast bloke

She did say at least 10 times in the bedsit that she was completely set on winding Victor up to see what happens..... now she knows

TheManOnTheStreet

OK, I agree it is. Still doesn't mean you resort to physical violence threats to deal with it.

Sticks & stones and all that.....

fast bloke

I've never been locked in a confined space with someone who is making it their mission in life to cause me mental distress

OllyK

It's the only language that some people understand. After requesting didn't work, Jay communicated with the apes on their level, it worked. He used the most appropriate and effective method IMO with a rapid result. To "give as good as he got" would have resulted in a play ground "I hate you, no I hate you more" battle that would have resolved nothing

fast bloke

so we are now looking at acceptable types of mental abuse then?

TheManOnTheStreet

Never been married then?

OllyK

Have a chat with somebody who has been mentally opressed sometime

fast bloke

Yep - 10 years on 2nd July, but fortunately my wife is not a complete tosser. From your post you seem to be saying that your wife sees it as her mission in life to cause you mental distress - can you not use your cunning and wit to get her to back off?

TheManOnTheStreet

We're talking BB here, not an interrogation room. It is a game. Jason got wound up & reacted the wrong way. No-one is forcing him to be in there. He can walk at any point he wants.

SiPie

What we really need is Jason to be a suicide bomber working for the 'Jock-Al Queda Terrorist Cell Network' and for his muscles to be fake and actually holding enough semtex to blow the whole feckin house up (excluding production staff of course )

TheManOnTheStreet

Err...that was a wee lightheared joke FB. Sorry, am I irritating you?

fast bloke

[MOTS steps back from discussion about his own oppressed lifestyle]

Irritating me - not in the slightest - I just find you an interesting challenge

Diablo

Yes, and they stopped irritating me. Sometimes you can't reason with someone.

The only way to solve such an issue otherwise is to have the other person not only accept that what they are doing is unacceptable, but agree with you.

From what I have seen, I doubt that was a likely outcome under the circumstances that Marco was drunk.

TheManOnTheStreet

Ah good, I think we're on the same wavelength then

TelBoy

"Dear Mr Hussein, please get out of Kuwait, you're irritating us."


"Oh ok then."

TheManOnTheStreet

...ah, but I thought the majority in the UK now disagreed with the use of force which was demonstrated last year?

Good example. Saddam winding the West up.

TelBoy

Iraq is a different matter. Kuwait was clear cut - reasoning wasn't going to work.

TheManOnTheStreet

Agreed. Saddam forcibly occupied Kuwait.

Last year, he was just taunting.

TheManOnTheStreet

Saddam = Marco
Bush = Jason

Discuss

OllyK

Bush = president
Saddam = prisoner

Who won???

TheManOnTheStreet

The House = Iraq.

Iraq is still in a mess. Who won?

TelBoy

Can't discuss as i didn't see BB, but the point is, sometimes violence IS the only answer, sadly, or at the very least, the threat of it. There is a level of intelligence, or fanaticism, below which reasoning falls on deaf ears.

Geezer

Who gives a toss? Perhaps you and Marco could go and live there together and reason with them

Geezer

Bajie

Now that ... was funny.

BUT ... and heres the rub ... Nadia and Marko did tidy up in the morning. Well Marco sort of helped. The dude with the iffy haircut helped but shouldn't have.

dba

A pissed up Glaswegian has a pop at a puff who wiggled his **** at him

is it me or is that a tad predictable?

John Prescott anyone?

OllyK

True but don't think Saddam or Marco will be doing much taunting again do you?
