Granny Danger Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 My ex-boss's fiancee (nowadays wife, but fiancee then) asked to see my wife's engagement ring when we got engaged a few years back. She then proceeded to compare it to her own and coo "Oh, darling, why couldn't I have gotten a wee cute ring like that, instead of this big flashy thing?" and flash her rock in everyone's face. Hatchet faced boot. The fact that you didn't respond to this by going out and buying your then fiancee a far bigger ring means you don't love her enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swampy Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Yep, totally agree. It's the sort of thing a woman should probably get annoyed at, and guys just nod along and agree for the some peace. I consider myself a feminist but... still smiled at this 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I consider myself a feminist but... still smiled at this It's so true though, many a time where my wife has complained at something (shite service, poor quality of product etc...) and even if I don't agree, I just shut up and nod along enthuastically, otherwise it could be me on the receiving end before long. Play the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play the game. Having been married now for almost 5 whole weeks, I'm coming to terms with this to an even greater degree than when we were just engaged after I didn't enthusiastically agree that something or other wasn't quite right on the wedding day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play the game. There was a good episode of The Cleveland Show that did this. He deliberately made himself deaf and found a few choice phrases such as "The other women at work are just jealous" and "I agree, you're such a free spirit" (or words to that effect) that served any purpose 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monster Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Who cares? You're happy to be engaged, so enjoy it. If that scenario happened to me I can honestly say I wouldn't care in the slightest. That's because you'd probably be secretly shagging your mates new fiancee. And her mum. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 (edited) Having severe problems in work. I've been trying to get a new contract to be signed by Monday, the terms of which had more or less been agreed verbally with my boss, but that boss has now left without signing the contract and the boss who will be taking over doesn't take over till Tuesday, thus doesn't haven't any right to sign a contract for me when he's not technically my boss. I am being told that I need to work this week before the contract can be signed, but the reason I needed the contract for Monday is because I'm going away on the Thursday and will be away for two weeks. The holidays I put in for this only cover the shifts for my new contract that was in the process of getting signed, thus I have no holidays for the shifts I still have but will be dropped. I really can't work on those days but technically there is no proof, other than mine and my old managers word, that a contract was ever agreed. Does anyone know where I stand on this? (I'm aware this is very long winded but its a difficult situation to explain haha) Edited July 28, 2012 by Stuart 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saints1884 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 These fat cats having tickets foe the Olympic events and not turning up should be made to hand them back and the organisers could then give them away for free to school kids/adults that would have gone if they had the money. After all,these games are for everyone! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Folk acting surprised that a major sporting event like the Olympics would be a shambles when organised by folk in the UK. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Phoenix Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Folk claiming the Olympics are a shambles. Every Olympics that has ever been staged has had its problems, London 2012 will be no different but I'd suggest it will be better than most. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
