Told ya it would all work out

Cobham-Saint · 13 September 2017 19:05

Good on you!

Now can you do something about those goddam awful dad sweater / sweatshirt products they sell? Every fucking birthday / Christmas the kids and Mrs C_S get me one so I end up looking like every other middle aged dad walking down the high st…Sorry, didn’t want to piss on your parade - so have another well done!

Haha! I just make pretty web-based things, but you’ll be pleased to know that menswear is a target for change.

Cobham-Saint · 14 September 2017 09:13

Good to hear @ant . Make it happen…please!

Young Adult has just about finished packing all her stuff to leave home and study at Exeter Uni.

We’ve a long drive tomorrow to drop her off at her halls and it’ll be strange coming home one kid lighter…

I know she’ll have a great time, but we’ll miss not having her around.

My bitch is pregnant I don’t know what to do

saintbletch · 30 October 2017 22:50

Congratulations, Bear.

Assuming this isn’t your dog, what is the dilemma?

What’s to consider?

Handed in my notice at work today. Having worked in Hook (briefly) and then Farnborough for the past three years, I’ll be taking a job in Petersfield. Along with the benefit of more money, this means that I’ll have about eight miles to travel each way, as opposed to the 37 or so that I’m currently doing. Close enough to cycle, too, which is a massive plus. Job looks pretty damn good, too.

Congratulations. What are you intending to do after xmas, when they ask you to give back the beard and red suit?

Goatboy · 31 October 2017 07:07

Thank me.

Cobham-Saint · 31 October 2017 07:37

If your not talking about your dog then it’s Sow not Bitch -

Hopefully that’s saved our resident pedant a job

saintbletch · 31 October 2017 07:42

He’ll still spot your your instead of your you’re.

Embrace adulthood…it’s finally arrived.

The second daughter has just arrived back from the UAE for 6 months bed rest prior to delivering her second child, unfortunately the first was born at only 8 months and did not survive. I just hope that this one goes a little better as she was devastated the first time.

lifeintheslowlane · 3 November 2017 08:45

Hope it all goes well mate…sure it will.

PhilippineSaint · 3 November 2017 08:53

Cheers,

I hope so as well

Bearsy · 3 November 2017 08:59

I didn’t like to upvote on that phil but bestwishes etc.

Bearsy · 3 November 2017 09:01

Now my bitch is knocked up I’m feeling bit of pressure to be a Stand Up Guy and do a propose. I mean, not a propose to get married, I’m not sure I’m up for that, but a propose to get engaged. I figure that should buy me 5 or 6 years. I’m looking into it. I’m quite shocked about the engagement ring situation though. Apparently I have to spend a full months salary on it. That’s several hundreds of pounds! And the worst of it is she don’t even have to buy me one back! Where is the Equality in that? I wonder if they factor that into the Gender Pay Gap

Bathsaint · 3 November 2017 09:05

I seem to recall the rule was not to tell anyone until 3 months in, so guess she’s at least 3 months pregnant.

So, welcome to the world of NCT, scans, baby books, no sex (except for a little period where you’ll have shit loads of sex and feel used), seeing loads and loads of her family (mainly her mum) and your family (mainly your mum), just wearily agreeing to everything she says rather face another argument that you’ll lose, etc…

Enjoy

Bathsaint · 3 November 2017 09:05

Yes, good luck Phil and family.
