Its like Jacko / Madonna type of hype, when they were at their peak. Its quite good to see, to be fair. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheepyvillian Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 Just reading a line from a lawyer involved in the Post Office debacle:"I know this sounds but in apologising we are admitting some degree of culpability." What an insult to all those poor innocent, honest workers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just so happened that my card started shopping in Tallahasse and in the UAE by itself last week . Thank McGrath for creditcards and the "not my problem" built into them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However... Daughter #2 has a mate whose dad is a retired GP. He's bought them two VIP tickets for the Thursday Anfield gig. Meanwhile, #1 daughter bought a raffle ticket from her husband's workplace. She's won two tickets for the Friday Anfield gig. She's going to take her nine-year-old niece - daughter #2's kid - with her (as a surprise, she doesn't know about it yet). Happy families. Well, it turned out rather more eventful than expected. Daughter 1 picked up her niece from school on Friday afternoon (she'd been given special permission to leave early - to the envy of her mates) and set off for Liverpool. Come teatime, the missus and I were settling down for a relaxing evening with a bottle of wine, when my phone rang. It was the son-in-law, telling us that he'd had a call that they'd broken down on the M62. The AA had come out, but it looked like the car would have to be towed. So he was going to drive over and try and get them to the concert on time. Which meant that Mrs M and I had to hotfoot it over to their house to babysit their young 'uns (4 and 1). Which we did. Fortunately, they went to bed and settled down without too much trouble. Meanwhile, s.i.l. successfully got the Swifties to Anfield - just in time - and then sat in a car park for three hours until the show finished. They finally got back to Leeds at 2.00am, and we went home and collapsed into bed. The 9 year old is going to have quite a tale to tell at school on Monday. And we never want to hear the name Taylor Swift ever again. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post mjmooney Posted June 15 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted June 15 Meanwhile, a good mate of mine has been on a stag do in Rotterdam. He was in fancy dress as one of the Super Mario Brothers. I'll let him take up the story... Quote Well what are the chances! The rest of the group had walked ahead and an older gentleman decided to engage us in conversation. It was only Charles Martinet who had been the voice of SuperMario in the games for 30+years and now retired ... it's a Small World doesn't begin to cover it ... 10 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted June 15 VT Supporter Share Posted June 15 Charles Martinet is a very particular kind of legend. You know he did the voice. He always does the voice. The voice is all he has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post mjmooney Posted June 16 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted June 16 Fathers' Day. Every year, the offspring come round bearing cards and gifts of alcohol and chocolate. Every year, I tell them they needn't, that it's not my birthday, the whole thing is just a scam by the greetings card industry. But they still do it. Until this year. I got a 'Happy Fathers' Day' message on WhatsApp. And that was it. THE BLOODY UNGRATEFUL LITTLE BASTARDS!!! 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 Tell me about it. I know the little shit had a card and a package that I asked about, which was “none of my business”. I come away expecting at least a gift and card to be passed to my wife for today. Bugger all. Just a whatsapp message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 I got a card off each child. Some father’s day socks (standard), some latte pods for the coffee machine, some shortbreads & biscoffs to enjoy with the coffee and also an aftershave / shower gel set (not lynx Africa). Bacon sandwich for breakfast. Just having a chill now before a couple of beers and snacks during the football. Just need Gareth not to ruin it now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
