What does Sunday morning mean for you?

Up early for a good dose of God bothering?

Up early for fry up and morning papers?

Hangover from hell?

An oft misguided attempt to convince your partner that its time to ‘engage’ in the noble art of love-making… or if alone with ones self?

What makes a Sunday morning’s great for you fellow Sotonians?

Well this morning means I gotta stand around Southampton like a lemon trying to pick out the Ayatollah from 10000 runners

Watching people run sucks balls

So far, I’ve watched last night’s MoTD, made the missus a cup of tea, performed my Sunday maintenance jobs for work, fed the cat, given the dog a good scratch and now have the rest of the day free to watch footy.

Euphemism?

Sadly no, but the Shih Tzu is happy.

Nice thread Gay.

I’ve always loved Sundays. My favourite day. For me, it represents relaxation, taking it easy (“like Sunday morning”). After usually long working weeks, that whilst more recently have incorporated a bit of Sotionians ‘play’ as well – mostly I work hard without taking too many breaks, as too much to do.

Sundays for me, everything stops. Lay in’s, just chillin’ out doing nothing in particular, Grand Prix’s, Cricket, and occasionally the odd Saints game to take in, when we’re deemed important enough to be live on the box (or at least our opponents are).

Indulging in the odd bit of greenery, chillaxing in a nice green field somewhere in the country, sitting on a cliff-top watching the peaceful yet powerful motion of the sea. Sunday is downtime, and just simply ‘being’. No pressure to do or be anything.

Then tomorrow – the crazy roller-coaster starts up all over again 'til the next time.

Wake up around 7…make a cuppa for me and the good lady…turn on the desktop to see how many emails I have…back to bed to drink tea…turn on 6 music…wife says do we have to listen to this idiot talking very earnestly about nothing (she can’t stand Mary Ann Hobbs)…get up and go get the Sundays. Eat breakfast, porridge and banana usually whilst answering emails…check Sotonians for new cultural content…avoid politics and capeshit. Shower…and take the dog for a 90 minute walk over fields and through woods whilst carrying my camera.

It’s now 11am and I can sit and read the Sundays. Looking forward to Sunday lunch usually at home but occasionally local pub that does good food in nice atmosphere (OHAH @ Romsey). Sit and watch footie on the box.

Just concluded a Mario Kart session with Juvenile Unit #2, known as P2 in this context. Loads of fun. We always play online now. She nearly always takes exception to someone playing against us. She has no problem finding a nemesis.

You see some funny things, particularly because Nintendo go out of their way to make the whole thing kid friendly. People slip through the net regardless through the most ingenious ways. In one game, they’re presenting all the Miis you’re up against. The idea of a Mii is to create a cartoon avatar for yourself to be shown in game, so the kid and I were rather surprised to see a toothbrushed moustached player from Germany called “Hitler”. Any system you can design some bastard can break.

No Nazis this week, but we did play against someone calling himself “Face Eater” earlier in the week, and were glad to. If he’s playing Mario Kart he’s not eating fucking faces, is he? A collective chill ran down Taylor spines when he disappeared offline…

I hoped it was just David Cameron that used the word ‘chillax’. Shudder.

David Cameron is wicked!

Getting woken up pre 7am by children who demand feeding is my routine. Rest of the day is normally spent exercising them in the vain hope they are so tired I can actually get some work done. Seems to be working today (so far).

Just cleaned up some cat shit too.

The last time that word was cool, Philip Schofield had brown hair and Gordon the Gopher as his co-presenter.

Safe.

Work.

And currently Management Meetings day so a trudge out to the back of beyond to the Industrial Estate that houses our factory.

Only time it is ever really annoying is when Saints have a 1:30 Kick Off on a Sunday after the clocks have changed. Slipping out of work, commuting the 45 minutes home, then calling a taxi to get to the pub to watch the game is impossible.

And with a DUI tolerance level of 0Mg here one isn’t ever going to have a quick pint then drive.

Fridays are cool though…

I guess this is not what you intended GA

So Saturday is your Sunday as the religious day is Friday, or does that make Friday Sunday? Confused now.

You obviously weren’t on the Other Place during the Take over Threads :lou_sunglasses:

It was explained in so much detail there.

But basically Friday is Friday, Saturday is Saturday.

Each has its own things we do. Friday is about 4 hour Brunches (read previosu Sex on the Beach threads) It’s about Karaoke nights.

Obviously it is about Friday Prayers, and also the Churches here are at their businest on a Friday.

Also the Malls get rammed from about 8pm on Fridays when all the locals go out

Saturday is well, Saturday really. Watch footie, head to the beach up until next month.

It was a total shock to the system when I first came here, but in reality?

We have a weekend, and very few people “party” on a Saturday Night

Are you me in disguise? Add in to that the wife goes to wrok Sunday morning and you ahve my Sunday down to pat.

Not a good one today as I am either suffering from too much Abbott Ale last night or I have caught the daughters’ (yes the apostrophe is in the correct place) vomiting bug. I wanna puke and I ache all over (but that could be from trying to get a tree stump out yesterday)!

Basiclly my weekends aresn’t relaxing due to the missus working weekends!!

Well having survived the near death boredom fest of the Southampton half marathon, I am now content. Me, beer, a bbq, and enough meat to feed an army and its too cold for everyone else to come out side. Peace and tranquility reigns.
