Yeah, I've seen him somersaulting from the high wall at the junction of Lawrie Park Road and Cobbs Corner.

There's sometimes 3 or 4 of them, who seem to have a bit of a route from The Cedars Nursing Home, and across the roundabout.

Plod were watching them the other night, but I dont suppose they are doing anything illegal.

I think the best course of action would be to chuck a bit of small change at them and see if they pick it up.

If they do, then you can grass them up to Revenue and Customs for failure to declare.

That should shift 'em.

It is called Street Jumping or FreeRunning and is the latest crazy amongst teen and 20s.

Bigbadwolf - you 're just mean. I spotted the "flipping boy" the other evening and found him entertaining although dazzled and rather worried for his safety - he seemed to know what he was doing though and beats teens hanging around listlessly.

Bigbadwolf - you 're just mean.

You're right. And I've been told that when I die, I'll be sent to hell.

But, it's warm and I'll know people there. So, whateveerrr!

BBW is our local troll. Most of the time he can be dealt with by by patting between the ears.

Unfounded slander and lies, Bram.
