"Are you not going to take a nice shirt in case we go out?" - No "What about a pair of trousers?" - It's going to be 30 degrees the entire time we're there, so no. "What about shower gel and shaving foam?" - I'm sure they'll sell it there etc, etc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I broke up with a girl on Christmas Day once (though it took until Boxing Day for it to sink in to her head I was serious). Cost me a small fortune from Majestic Wine in Dutch courage beforehand to get the job done. She better have been an utter c**t, otherwise you're a horrible, heartless b*****d. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when we are going for short breaks in places like Germany and Holland. Not exactly the far east and a new culture? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many break-ups happen at Christmas. People who don't really like each other forced to spend time with each other. Add in huge amounts of booze and it can be a rough time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJ2 Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Drown him in a big vat of melted Lurpak Slighty Salted, Live on Al-Jazeera. We’d have died of old age before that block of butter melted. Drowning in melted butter though, doesn’t sound a bad way to go tbh 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throbber Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 It's not scare tactics it's human biology. The sleep deprivation now is preparing you for when it actually arrives. Both myself and my girlfriend were angel children who slept solidly at night without waking our parents up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your parents have simply erased the horrors from their memories. I was so awful the child psychologist asked my folks “how do you put up with him?”, such was my terrible behaviour and refusal to sleep. Turned out okay though once I got to about 7. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coprolite Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 last night's walking dead "mid season finale" had four plots coming together over several locations with added flashbacks.the questions started pretty early and innocuously enough but i was soon about two minutes behind and struggling to hear enough to keep up myself."who's that?", "why are they doing that?", "where did they come from?"she wasn't even trying to think. at one point she asked "which king?". There's only one, i explained tactfully and patiently. cue her stomping out and going to bed. result. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She seems patently unable to follow anything but the most simple and conventional storyline. To the point that she's unwilling to watch anything with me that isn't totally formulaic. Also won't watch any "gangster films", and this could be literally any crime thriller / drama. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LA Confidential - a love triangle tale with hunky young Russell Crowe and Colin Farrell. Snatch - Brad Pitt in a gentle tale of a man who love dogs, caravans and his mum. The two box sets of Gomorra - an Italian family drama. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
