I think to not remember the birthday of someone you claim to love for 9 years is just lazy and thoughtless -it costs nothing but consideration to wish someone a happy birthday

I would agree, if I gave a toss about birthdays - I appreciate the random HB lolly or chocolate bar on a crap tuesday more than I'd appreciate some stupid gift set just because someone feels they have to. I stopped celebrating birthdays a long time ago, what is the point, woohoo I survived another year? Nah.

It amuses me that people get so annoyed over forgotten dates. What happens if someone wants to celebrate after 350 days of marriage, do they have to wait another 15 to prove that they REALLY mean it? A load of.....

Yep but if they can't even remember their own birthday.

Maybe she won't be bothered? I'm a married woman and while I can remember the wedding date we never bother celebrating it. Its all a money racket.

Why does it have to be a money racket? You don't have to spend money to celebrate something.

I think spontaneous 'just because' little treats on random Tuesdays are wonderful too and whereas I agree that becoming excessively upset over a missed date is futile, I just think you sound a little overtly-cynical about celebrating special times. Personally, I think the marking of milestones is what detracts from the mundaneity of everyday life and I can't imagine a world where people didn't make a special effort for those they love to remember special occasions.

Not all birthday giftsets are bought out of obligation, some people are genuinely happy that the person they care about is alive and well to see and spend another year together

Completely agree with you here. I'm lucky to be appreciated with random bars of my favourite chocs, perfume, a night out. I think that we should be appreciated more than a couple of "Hallmark card" days per year.

I absolutely know he'll forget our anniversary in a few days time, but yesterday he arrived home with a bar of chocolate and a bunch of flowers - just becasue.

Much more meaningful to me.

Would you not just tell her that you thought today was the 28th?!

I'm marrying a man who has not remembered one single birthday in 9 years, sometimes, including his own.

Cans, chinese, shag. Sorted.

Maybe I should start to re-evaluate my standards.....

Happens with increasing frequency the older you get.:rolleyes:

is tim.....dead? :eek:

scdublin · 03-07-2012 02:42PM

Well...what happened?!

Dunny · 03-07-2012 02:48PM

He got the roide of his life.

scdublin · 03-07-2012 02:50PM

Doubt it was from the wife though! Unless he managed to smooth things over

kfallon · 03-07-2012 04:07PM

Word on the street is that Tim went home to the wife, wallet full ready to bring her out for a slap up meal! Anyway key goes in the door but the chain is on. Wife is shouting all sorts at home, the kind of language that would make a whore blush

Tells him to piss off and don't come back for a long time!

Well Tim has a wallet bursting with cash so he decided to treat himself and off he goes down the local 'brazzer' shop to get his pipes cleaned. Spies a love 21 year old from Latvia and books her for an hour, he avails of the special hourly rate with the the extra of either a 'ringstinger' or a 'Dick Turpin' thrown in (customer's choice). Well she was tighter than a miser's fist and he well and truly emptied his bag. After that it was off to the local for a game of darts and a few pints with the lads followed by the casino where he proceeded to win a grand. Turned up on the doorstep home with flowers from Centra at 9 o'clock the next morn, was given the cold shoulder but left into the house with the strict understanding that he was sleeping in the 'sin bin' for the next week.

As he said later on, "I might forget our anniversary again but I'll never forget this anniversary!!!" :pac:

slavetothegrind · 03-07-2012 05:16PM

almost completely accurate kfallon, except for the bit where she says on receiving the flowers
" i suppose you want me to spread my legs now?"

and he replys

" sure a vase would do!"

....gets coat.......
