Lisa Cuddy Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Fair enough, but either way, is there really anything wrong with asking? If you can take the kids with you, you don't have to get a babysitter organised, take a raft of child-pacifying supplies etc. You're as well clarifying the situation and you don't end up offending your host by taking kids along that weren't invited. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, although I think Philpy was more riled by the response to being told no than being asked in the first place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really know why I'm arguing the point to be honest. I bloody love being told "no kids". It's like a licence to drink. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See, this is why it wouldn't even cross my mind to say about kids, i'd just assumed people wouldn't want to bring them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swarley Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 See, this is why it wouldn't even cross my mind to say about kids, i'd just assumed people wouldn't want to bring them. I'd agree in this circumstance of a 40th birthday party. The most shocking revelation from the last few pages, for me, is that philpy has a 39 year old wife so I'd guess he is of a similar age? I had always assumed that he was late teens/early twenties! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lisa Cuddy Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Maybe it's just my family. All occasions we had were "family occasions", everyone was invited, kids and all. My parents friends all had kids too and never excluded kids from parties or anything. I think I've held one party where we didn't invite kids - and that was because the people coming didn't have them! It's rotten being left out of stuff because you're a parent, I don't think I could do that to anyone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im 36, but i'll take being called younger as a very nice compliment. Have a virtual pint on me, good sir. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marko A Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Neighbours kids have been driving me mad with their music. Must of got a CD player or something for Christmas, and have been playing Roar by Katy Perry over and over again (and I mean literally on repeat). And to top that off today, they have been playing Christmas songs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Surprised the rage being generated regarding the escalators! To be fair, the whole point of a moving staircase is so you don't have to walk, if you were designed for you to walk then they would surely just put in a set of stairs. Chill guys, better arriving late and alive than not arriving at all 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
