    A likely story,  i'm often tempted to slip the odd glass away myself,  Marston's do some beautys

    My local has a vast array of superb glasses - I often leave my car there on a Saturday and I have a system of nipping out to the car, taking the glass with me, and leaving it in the car. Cool glass collecting is my cheapest hobby.

    I realised, no, this person is actually going to persist in doing this with everything they post.

    Well he's probably not that well read what with him spending 16 hours a day in a cold damp pit with a dead canary in his pocket!

    Jesus Lamby you're so white and privileged sometimes.

    Long term couples, usually already married for at least 3 years, who use the phrase "date night" to describe themselves going to the cinema to watch a **** film, probably something like The Avengers, followed by a meal at Zizzi's (probably located right next to the cinema) that consists of ordering the second cheapest thing on the menu, one glass of wine each, no dessert and then a trip home by 10pm to sit on the sofa staring at their phones and not having sex.

    God that sounds amazing. We never get to do stuff like that.

    My phone must be riddled with something.

    Haven't been on the forum browsing for a few days but tonight I get the amazon and youtube popup every couple of threads I go into. 

     

     

    Mine too - only on this forum though. Every other website is fine. 

    Amazon/youtube popups - never seen these before.

    Unsupportive children.

    So I impulse bought the Russia 2018 Panini album and presented it to my 7 year old boy who explained to me (again) that he doesnt like football. I was expecting that reaction anyway so I excitedly dug into my stickers only to find De Bruyne in the first pack! While I was searching for #522 in the book my 2 year old daughter decided that my best player was her 'new baby' and now Kevin lives in her dolls cot with the freaky twins and one armed Steven.

    Mother in law. Let's call her Doris.

    Frantic call on Sat afternoon...

    Doris: "I'm at the auctions and there's a job lot of those baby wipes you use for £100 - I've looked on Amazon and that's  £35 cheaper than retail!"

    Me: No thanks Doris, i don't really want to spend £100 on baby wipes or store a cubic tonne of them in my attic.

    Doris (offended): "Well that's silly, you'll buy them anyway"

    Me: "Yeah but over a period of 2 years!"

    Doris: "Fine."

    Later that day, Doris arrives, with a boot load of baby wipes, smug as ****.

    Me: "WTF Doris I said No!"

    Doris: "Well you were being silly and don't worry - you can pay me back over a period of 2 years if you must."

    I now have a cubic tonne of baby wipes and £100 less money.

    ******* Doris.

    Watched Darkest Hour. Not much of a film really, good portrayal by Gary Oldman but needed a better story. Cringe of a tube train scene that was like watching a kids tv program. I was excited about this probably because of how good The King's Speech was - but it's nowhere near. 6/10

    ******* hell, £12 for no meat...£1.79 in Aldi which includes a dead cow or pigeon, you must have more money than sense lad

    There's a market for these £12 salads though, the place was rammed full of wealthy ethical people. I was the only one in there not 'wearing' a baby and updating my vegan lifestyle blog!

    Making up for it now with a £6 Szechuan Duck.
