HUMBUG! the first

[marsden_online]

Some neighbourhood small child who might be in double digits found a shiny 2-stroke mini-motorcycle under the tree this year, and is riding it up and down the block. Sometimes on the footpath, sometimes on the road. Either way, that can't be legal?!

By now, the noise has me looking for a shotgun in the same way as boy racers doing burnouts in our intersection. Hoping the novelty wears off real soon now.

[Just got a better look - a bit oversized for the bike, might be as old as 12]

Aaahhh, the sounds of Christmas :p Go and lob some cookies at the kid, with any luck you'll knock him off the bike, and you can claim you were spreading Christmas cheer :p

I'm sure they'll get bored with it quick enough.

I find the shotgun to be rather unsatisfying in cases like these. Unfortunately the bazooka tends to upset the neighbours somewhat. Something about potholes, apparently...
