Meatloaf had it right when his daughter was at the courting age.

He pulled the guy too one side and calmly uttered.

"If you hurt my daughter I'll hunt you down and shoot you like a dog"

He shot 3 bullets..but only hit with two....

...But there again 2 out of three ain't..........

I can't imagine how difficult it must be knowing a guy isn't treating your daughter as he should be. The temptation to knock ten tons of shit out the twat must be quite hard to resist. I think the suggestion that you leave alone seems to be the right one though, depending what she's like at learning from her mistakes. You can try to make you're feelings about him known to her but she'll likely not listen. Just don't tell her you told her so when she finally does come round.

She finished with him today.

I just hope she gives boys a break and concentrates on enjoying herself and getting on with college.

With a daughter of 4 I'm just going to put my hands over my ears and pretend nothing like this will ever happen. Sadly young women do seem pretty adept at choosing the wrong guys, and I'm going to have trouble keeping quiet...

This reminds me of the father of a good friend when I was in the 6th form. The friend had a very attractive sister, one day we were all outside their house when her boyfriend turned up in his mini to drive her off to the pub. The father pointed out to his daughter's boyfriend that he had a nearly flat tyre. "yeah mate, I know" said the young tosser before driving off! The father waited until he'd gone then said to me and his son, very bitterly but calmly "that's the trouble with X's boyfriends, they're all wankers" - then walked off. Always stuck in my mind as he very rarely swore!

My son appears to be protective of his younger sister (they're 18 and 16). One of Pip's mates is often texting my daughter, or phoning her if he can't get hold of Pip. I suggested to Pip that he's 'interested' in Diane, and perhaps is working up the courage to ask her out...? His somewhat surprising response was "over my dead body - he's got a terrible reputation with the girls - bit of a swordsman." He'd be ok with his sister dating his other best mate, who is not very successful with the lay-dees....

I actually asked one of my mates if it would be ok to date his sister. He said he'd rather one of us go out with her than some random dickhead.

She said no.

I thought it was best to ask, it's something of an unwritten rule that you don't date your mate's sisters. You can hardly explain to your best mate why you were hanging out the back of his sister whilst she was dressed as a French whore...

I went out with a girl for nearly two years, mostly because my mum disliked her. I was determined to prove my mum wrong and probably would have ended the relationship a few months in without the mum issue.

My instinct is that you need to step back and let her decide for herself.

Oh, the idea that girls like bad boys - it's bollocks. People in general don't like bad people. Girls are no different. It's a rumour spread by miserablists to account for their lack of success.

Oddly enough, she went out with one of our mates who has a reputation for being an arsehole with women. She played him at his own game and flatly refused to have sex with him.

Oh how I laughed at the delicious irony of that situation....

At school/college I got loads of girlfriends who just wanted to piss their dads off by bringing a scouser home. A lot of them wouldn't look past the accent, although that tended to change when they found I had the offer of a commission for the Navy. Once they dads started liking me the girls tended not to.....

But surley living in liverpool having a scouse accent isn't much of a differentiator!

Detecting differences in accents is always easier for the people who live there - to an outsider I guess all Liverpool accents sound the same - probably the same with Welsh accents - judging by the way people imitate them, a Welsh accent is a Welsh accent, but there are at least three different accents just in our county and probably at least 20 different Welsh accents.

True of accents in Argyll, too. Someone from Oban sounds quite different from someone from Campbeltown, for instance. And of course, folk from Campbeltown tend to have 6 digits on each hand....
