    I think people are too obsessed with marriage and view it as the ultimate destination for true love and happiness but when the honeymoon period is over and they aren’t feeling warm and fuzzy anymore they blame their other halves, the marriage inevitably comes to an end and there is a great deal of resentment left over. I’d like to see how many of the 42% of the divorces occur within 3 years of marriage and how many of them cite the reason for being divorced as to having rushed the marriage in the first place.

    Weddings are not only incredibly expensive, they are also, often a superficial dick waving contest and a chance for the couples families to take passive aggressive swipes at relatives and so called friends  by not inviting them or giving them evening invites whilst they invite their newly found cooler mates along for the entire day. I’ve seen many friendships and families inflicted with deep and hurtful scars based on invites to weddings and hen/stag dos in the past and it’s not pretty.

    I’d say most people are as well just not bothering tbh.

     

    I came on here to post something that you've pretty much nailed.

    I'd managed to get away with not being engaged/married for over a decade and when asked how long we had been together my Mrs got pity looks from other women.

    Women have this timetable in their heads as to when things should happen and it seems regardless of age.

    Although probably 95% of proposals are done by men the main driver here is women believing they should be married seeing as they have been together a while and are living together.

    As you state couples start off new and in a honeymoon phase. They then will do something like move in together and that is all new.

    They then might buy a house together and once the novelty of that wears off the inevitable proposal comes.

    Once the honeymoon is done and nobody is asking to see your wedding pictures anymore I think it is an awakening for them that your big moment in life is over and now you're stuck with that person lying next to you.

    Women that are planning weddings from a young age or aren't even with someone are best avoided.

    Not saying it's correct 

     

  3. Went out Friday night for dinner with the wife and on Saturday afternoon met a few friends in Edinburgh for drinks before heading back to Falkirk to meet more friends and watch the football.

    Knew I would need cash so took out plenty money Friday afternoon when I was passing a machine and tipped my waitress and taxi driver appropriately.

    ^^^doing it right and not a lazy b*****d.

    The "My child has the right to do whatever they want!" mentality from parents has always pissed me off. 

    I have recently moved into the first floor of a new property, and the people on the ground floor have this incredibly loud kid. This noisy wee shite from hell bangs and screams constantly starting from 6am to 12pm through the day. There are times I can hear my living room vibrating from the loud bangs he loves to make. I can put up with the kid screaming, since you can barley hear it from this floor. The banging on the other hand is incredibly frustrating, and it can easily destract you whenever you're playing a game, watching a film, or even playing guitar. The first night I moved in here, the bloke from the floor above told me that he recently told them to try and discipline their kid for making so much noise. They have obviously not listened, since it has gradually been getting worst since I moved in last month. Parents like that love to put their kid on a pedestal, and they get really offended when someone rightly tells them to be more respectful to the neighbours. If the shoe was on the other foot, I bet they would soon get pissed off with that much noise, and they would probably be the first to tell the kid's parent's to keep the noise down.

    As you're above them it is a lot easier for you to make noises that are very distracting for them.

    I personally suggest you making this noise when the wee shite is asleep and see if you can wake Damien up.

    Or you can of course keep moaning about it on here and hope that this helps the situation.

    QoS are due a cut of it around 15%, sell on fee, id reckon livi will be getting 1-1.5m up front with the rest in add ons. Take out the circa 300k that they give to QoS, prob be left with just over a mil. As much as Dykes is a good player he's not 2m good at least not yet. 

    I've barely seen him since he signed wi Livi but I asked a couple of folk who watch Premier League clubs if they thought he was good enough for Scotland and they pished themselves.

    This club should have been booted out of football on more than a few occasions. Broke all the financial rules, shafted god knows how many people, put together a hard working first eleven and a brutal style of football which they continue to use. Now have £2M profit on a player they took a gamble on that wasn’t a guaranteed starter for Queens last term. Crime doesn’t pay........ 

    I've said a thousand times it's time for FFC to stop being the big girly pussies who do things right all the time.

    Having morals and always being the good guys has seen us end up in the 3rd tier and yet still our fans get their knickers In a twist if we even dare to do anything a tad controversial.

    The nice guy routine can go f**k itself.

  7. I do love that many folk (guaranteed Daily mail readers) actually believe that illegal immigrants arrive on UK shores and instantly are met by someone from the government to hand them a big bag of money and a catalogue of the best Council housing to flick through and pick from.

    Why can't they take 20 seconds to Google what actually happens to them and realise the paper they buy every day is a big pile of lying shite?

    I fully believe you didn't, ya scary b*****d! You're correct with the number but I don't have a landline phone emoji14.png I don't see what use they have nowadays tbh.

    The landline phone is excellent for folk 50+ as a source of complaint.

    They tell you how every time they answer the ruddy thing it's a nuisance call. When you tell them to get rid of it they stare at you as though your head is swivelling

    I was in Berlin in February for a stag do, I took 100 Euros with me just to have in case it was required, the other 4 guys all had something called a monzo app which they planned on using everywhere. I was laughed at for being a peasant with actual cash on me but we got a taxi from the airport and my pal sat trying to get his app to send the payment for about 5 minutes before I pulled out 20 Euros and settled the fare. I can't be arsed with that fucking around. Walked into the first bar, guy pours 5 pints, pal gets his phone app out and guy immediately says cash only. If I was a total c**t I'd have paid for my own pint and sat down, but ended up paying for round after round until they all got to an ATM.

    I sincerely hope your smugness had them all spewing

    Wonder what will happen if the whole season has to be played behind doors.  It maybe sounds unlikely but events could happen to ensure it.   Season ticket money would have to be returned.  Many clubs going out of business?

    If that worst case scenario happened I assume many clubs would turn to there TV channels to broadcast games and charge a lot more than previously.

    I personally wouldn't ask for my ST cash back as I fully understand what happened wasn't FFCs fault

    Two people with trolleys spread across the whole of the available space on the shop floor with their masks covering their chins.

    A daily occurrence on my trips to Asda when I’m at work.

    Asda is a terrible supermarket for absolute scumbags and I shop there for some unknown reason.

     

  12. A couple of the cash machines I pass on my way into town now charge to take out my own cash.

    I still blatantly refuse to pay for pints with card and will go to awkward lengths to find a free cash machine so I don't have to pay for £3.50 T by card.

    Getting rid of cash was difficult for a while there during lockdown but we seem to be back to normal on that front.

    Cash is still king but the % of my wages now disappearing in DD and contactless payments is getting pretty high.
