Morons in Papers

I love the way the average moron likes to parade their own idiocy in local newspapers. It makes for a never ending stream of amusement. The lack of self awareness can be outstanding at times

Passport row mum says son 'sobbing' after missing skiing trip

A 10-year-old boy was left "screaming and sobbing" after he couldn't join his friends on a skiing trip because of passport delays.

Average morons also like to publicise the tantrums thrown by their unruly children when they get a life lesson 

Mum Kirsty Morgan applied to have her son Reuben Murphy's child passport renewed a full month ahead of the planned trip to the Italian ski resort of Bormio. But after what she claimed were repeated delays with the passport arriving, his mum had to tell him he couldn't join his school friends for the much-anticipated trip, before they all move on to secondary school later in the year.

What follows is a truly heart breaking tale of delay and incompetence from the passport office that ruined Christmas a skiing trip for a young lad 

LOL! Just kidding

A Passport Office spokesperson said: "As is clearly indicated in our online guidance people should allow up to 10 weeks to get their passport when applying from the UK, or they can apply via a one-week fast track service for child passport renewals."

If she'd followed the guidance, there would not have been a problem, but for your average moron, this is a story of 'not my fault' and 'let's go to the papers'

Kirsty, 39, from Anfield, said: "I had to tell an excited 10 year old boy who's in his last year of school he's not going skiing with his friends. It was one of the most heartbreaking experiences of my life.

I'm sure there'll be other, more important ones
