Der Kaiser Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 4 hours ago, Lord BJ said: It’s the missus and boys birthday today. I had bought the missus gift, a very exoensive coat, but she knew about it as she just went shopping with my card. Anyway boy gets spoilt, cause, well we can. He has a bunch of presents to open, once he finishes, as the wife has nothing, outside the coat. I give the her a card, which tells her, organised the night away at hotel dinner, cocktails and sitters looks after kids. The boy then throws a tantrum, ‘it’s my birthday that’s not fair’. Anyway after about a hour of stropping, the wife says she’s not up for it. I suggest we wait a couple of hours, see how she feels. In meantime, the boy and I fall out after it turns out some of his lying catches up on him. Which have consequences for him, not least making him feel stupid. Anyway, in-laws and family round for lunch and general chit chat. Wife’s says changes her mind, couple glasses of fizz in, and says she’ll check with boy but wants to go. Two min later boys says no and wife breaking news to me and I’m cancelling night.😡 He’s now sitting upstairs playing Fortnite with his mates online. Whilst she sipping cocktails with her sister and niece in kitchen. This was not the ****ing plan. ps. I’m severely under influence as a result of busted flush as opposed to busted nut night😔 Am I allowed to say you should give your son a slap. I'm joking of course. But I'm also not.

Салатные палочки Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 "Property/Properties" Nothing is a house these days, or a flat, or a hall, or a shop. It's all a "property". "He owns a number of properties in the Hammersmith area". You mean he owns some bedsits and a kebab shop? There was a couple on the news this morning who had their wedding plans thrown into chaos because the church blew away or something. Anyway, turned out they couldn't have the wedding or reception until an old primary school friend of the woman messaged her and said his friend had a "property" that they could use. Like what? A house? A scout hall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, although the overuse and incorrect use of the simple comma can, in essence, be equally difficult to decipher, especially when unnecessary figures of speech are, occasionally, inserted simply to, how can I put it, increase one's word count.

Lone Striker Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Having recently expanded my dog-walking routes to include a wander through a local cemetery, the sight of this provoked a degree of seethe - I had no idea the funeral industry had expanded to the point of allowing individual club badges on gravestones and flower vases. There were 3 such "decorated" graves - all huns. Even the actual flower bunches were red, white & blue, and one of the residents was nicknamed "Billy". A wee UJ planted beside one of them too. WTF goes through the minds of folk that makes them think this is clever ? Just to show off to the living that the bloke 6 feet under was a bigoted uber-fan of the now deceased Glasgow club ?

They don't even make it easier on themselves, bit's in the story about bigger cars = more emissions which isn't always the case with many newer 2ltr/2ltr+ cars having lower emissions than older 1.6 engines for example, just make the charges scale linked to emissions and not engine size and then the environmental argument actually stacks up somewhat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll have done affordability checks on those that do well to stop them making money. If you make money from bookies your deposits can be way in excess of what you earn. Eg. I used to put over £3k per week through a high street bookie and around £3k per day would go through an exchange. Barred online from the same bookie.
