While reading the paper at the breakfast table this morning i found myself shaking my head in total dis-belief. Why? well basically 23year old student Stuart Feltham was set on fire in a bar on the island of Crete after allegedly sexually assaulting a greek girl, and his parents seem completely obsessed with the concept that ‘their son’ can do no wrong.
The Greek islands have a reputation and a well deserved one at that… in my experience, they are the shagging shop of the mediterranean.
Their are only two reasons folk go there, to consume copious amounts of alcohol and indulge in (well they hope anyway) non stop shagging.
Every summer European girls return home from a ‘holiday’ there pregnant in numbers unrivalled by any other holiday destination, Every year boys and girls return home with all manner of sexually transmitted diseases that they didn’t have when they went again in unrivalled numbers, and all too often a huge grin on their faces.
Now, i’m not saying people should be banned from going to the Greek islands at all.. but i do think the parents of these ‘holidaymakers’ seriously need to wake up and smell the coffee. The odds are your kids are going out there to get constantly drunk and get laid as many times as possible in the week or fortnight!
If, and it is a big IF in my opinion Ian Feltham was ’set on fire’, that’s awful.. BUT, I’m more inclined to actually believe the girls account of events having ‘holidayed’ in the Greek islands myself. Maria Fanoudaki a 26 year old student says Stuart Feltham sexually assaulted her, she threw her drink over him and left. It’s not a huge leap of faith to see a situation of Stuart Feltham, having had the drink thrown over him standing in what will have been a packed bar in the height of the holiday season, with his mates in an alcohol soaked shirt, and maybe a cigarette came into contact with his shirt and ignited it.
His parents however are claiming that their son was standing in a bar and someone threw accelerant over him for no reason and set fire to him…
Oh please!… do you even know how idiotic you look to anyone who has ever been to the Greek islands on holiday?….. and for the record that’s probably 40-50% of anyone aged under 40.
Just take off the rose tinted glasses, and accept your son was getting drunk and probably trying it on with and anything in a skirt that possessed a pulse… just like every other guy would have been in that bar!
