Education, Education, Education...

Remember that?
Another message, written on a black balloon, said: 'RIP Hassan. Your always in our duas.'
And on a gold balloon, one friend wrote: 'RIP Hassan. Your in paradise.'
*grinds teeth* But there's even worse!
Other friends had paid tribute to the tragic teenager online, and they said that Facebook had been the trigger for the fight.
A friend wrote: 'It's patetic if what ave just read from one of the close friends to this young lads uncle..who says the young lad was murdered due to an argument that escalated over Facebook..then I think these social websites need to be band.'
*sighs*

  1. "Duas" had me baffled I must say. It's Islamic prayer apparently.

    South Yardley eh? A lad I knew had the crap kicked out of him by some communidee members outside the now defunct Swan at Yardley on the, shall we say, "faultline" of that area...... This was well over 20 years ago.

    Follow me close, for I will speak to them. Gentlemen, good den: a word with one of you.

    And but one word with one of us? couple it with something; make it a word and a blow.

    TYBALT
    You shall find me apt enough to that, sir, an you will give me occasion.

    MERCUTIO
    Could you not take some occasion without giving?

    TYBALT
    Mercutio, thou consort’st with Romeo,–

    MERCUTIO
    Consort! what, dost thou make us minstrels? an thou make minstrels of us, look to hear nothing but
    discords: here’s my fiddlestick; here’s that shall make you dance. ‘Zounds, consort!

    ....

    I don't think FB has much to do with it, nor princesses neither.

  3. The 3rd one was by that Edward Snowden chappie - it's clearly code for an invasion somewhere.

  6. Can't spell, can't use correct grammar, yet can add the word 'escalated' into a sentence (perhaps he thought the lad had been stabbed while on one of those moving stair things?). Kudos for the victim if he was trying to defend his girlfriend but if his friends are going to show respect, they may consider doing it in a way which doesn't cause derision.

    It's always hard to tell if you'rereading bad English or a bit of the foreign with these things...

    "I don't think FB has much to do with it, nor princesses neither."

    Indeed! Social media just make it quicker than the old fashioned rumour mill.

    "Facebook Freddie and the Twitterers?

    Linkedin Park?"


    LOL!

    "Can't spell, can't use correct grammar, yet can add the word 'escalated' into a sentence.."

    Odd, isn't it?
