It's madness, I tell you, madness!
Gail, Gail, Gail...when will you learn? Audrey was right, she is going to bury her head the sand, just like she did when Richard died. I mean seriously, who doesn't send thei
r kids (or themselves) to a therapist after their serial-killer stepdad tries to kill them? Of course someone was going to crack. For goodness sakes. 
But surely it would occur, even to raisin-head Gail, that if molly-coddling David for the last 15 years hasn't worked, it's not going to work now! Audrey's right, what that boy needs is a good shake up - he's not the centre of the universe! (Hmm, think I feel poll question coming on.)
And did you all see the look on his face when the police turned up? Excellent stuff.

Sorry Ange - can't agree with you. For once I think Gail is doing the right thing. Yes, David has been a little **** but it was a cry for help. Those were real tears. I blame Martin - he hasn't exactly been there lately for David. As for Audrey flying off the handle! ... As Gail said she wasn't really around much when Gail was a teen. (Actually I was a teen when Gail was - showing my age eh?)
YES, David's had a crappy time over the last couple of years, what with his dad leaving, his mum being Gail (which, by the way, would also drive me mad) and with that little incident where his stepdad almost drowned him, and YES, his Hallmark-hate-spree was a cry for help BUT, the poor boy should have been given professional help a long time ago and, now, I'm afraid it's too little too late - he's a NUTTER!! And Gail's an even bigger nutter if she thinks a little chat and a day off school are going to make things better! Grrr, she makes me so mad!
Yep, I reckon - a short sharp shock is what he needs. Perhaps a brush with the law might help him to wake up to the consequences of his actions. He really needs to get a life.

Heah, what happened to Nonny's extra quote. I repeated for emphasis!!!!
Nonny
He's really too old for wooden spoons, as tempting as it may be. I'd scare him with the police, although there is very little they can really do to a fifteen year old. They can go around and talk to them and try to intimidate them into behaving. I don't follow the programme, so I don't now how much sympathy he deserves, but it appears to me that a fifteen year old is old enough to appreciate that his mother would be feeling pretty shattered herself, and if he can't treat her with a bit more consideration it is time he learned. Personally I would give him his eviction notice. I would tell him that unless he makes a miraculous return to common decency, he is out of the house the day he turns 16. Sometimes the only thing teenagers are prepared to learn from their parents is that you can push people too far.
RE who is David Poll - do you mean David Palmer?
1. Ruth, unfortunately by the the time he turns 16 he would already have murdered you in your bed (but I like your hard-line attitude)!

2. You are a ninny, nonny. I deleted the second copy of your post to save you the embarassment of looking like a dufus, but if it's what you wanted... : )
3. David Palmer?!?! Where have you been? Poor Dave, all he gets is grief... : (
Well, for all those 24 (TV series) fans out there, David Palmer is to be addressed as President David Palmer ... until his unfortunate demise in the latest series when he is assassinated. So, technically he should be referred to as The Late President David Palmer!
Well, I was going to refer to David "Med Library" Palmer as Herbert "look at my beard" Dobner...
PS Apologies to those of you don't know Dave P.
