Genie Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Proper WTF moment tonight at a family get together (nephews birthday). Asking if people are watching the WC final on Sunday, everyone says yes including father in law who isn’t interested in football. Mother in law, angrily, “absolutely not”. Why not? It’s their fault I have to work 6 more years and can’t retire at 60. People like that make me so mad, wanting equal opportunities. If it wasn’t for people like that I’d have retired. I’d have my pension and I wouldn’t have to kill myself at work (she is lunchtime supervisor at a nursery school, 4 days a week for about 16 hours). Absolute moment. So much with that to unpack. I could see my wife and her sister were fuming at such a stupid comment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s got an app and temperature probes. It cost him £1500, he’s been smoking this piece of brisket in it since 2am. I’m sat next to it and I’m getting all the smells all of them, I’m now ready to eat a whole cow A grand and a half for a barbeque! I didn’t bump into @Seat68 who is also in Southport but I suspect he’s timed his visit to coincide with the Flower Show and is busy eying up the prize pansies Southport remains an utter shithole of a town centre but anyway A grand and a half for a barbeque! Can’t wait until he gets bored of it and offers it to us No pansies bought. Got here later than expected and all we did was buy that for the grandson.

mjmooney Posted August 20, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted August 20, 2023 (edited) Any spider experts on here? When the women in my family say they've seen an enormous spider, I laugh, as they invariably turn out to be teeny. This one, though, is quite impressive. I'd love to know what species it is.

If it is one of those, be careful, they have quite the bite. Not going to kill you obviously but can cause quite a bit of reasonably prolonged pain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This may be because I've just woken up but I really can't see the link between women's football and her having to work for longer. What is her logic?

What is her logic? I think in this instance her logic is that if women were not seen as equals they’d still have their pension kicking in from the age of 60. Selfish females like those wanting to play football have led a wave of equality including having the women’s pension age aligned to that of men. Therefore, if women stayed in their lane and accepted being second class they’d have retained an earlier pension age. I think that’s it. It’s absolutely bonkers.
