    Mothers Day. Now don't get me wrong, I'm quite happy to buy my mum something for Mothers day, nothing wrong with showing a bit of appreciation. I had planned on some nice flowers and a bottle of her favourite wine. Sorted, or so I thought until she dropped the hint into a casual conversation, that she was running low on her Chanel No5. Fcuks sake, best part of 100 euro.:eek: More fool me, I bought it.:(

    If only they had a day for "people you kinda encountered over the internet" - I would tap you up for a slab of beer.

    You're a soft touch woman!

    True. It's my wedding anniversary next month, I wonder how she'd react if I said we'd like an all expenses paid weekend away.:D I'm guessing we'd be a long time waiting.:)

    I saw a card the other day "For my wife, on Mother's Day", now wtf is that about. It's Mother's Day, not wife's day, not granny's day, not let's invent another person card day, MOTHERS day.

    Mothers day is a pain in the flabby bits for me.
    My own mum will be expecting a card and random suprise of some sort.
    My wife will be expecting something too from the 4 year old. But he is too small to be making her breakie in bed, buying a card and flowers so that will be down to me too.

    I think I may well explode.

    I do the very same, every Christmas, birthday, Fathers day and Mothers day I get gifts on my brothers behalf. I choose the gifts for my in-laws and show them to Mr Pumpkinseeds for his approval before ordering them.

    Getting stared at in the shopping centre by some 'thing' dressed like a 2 dollar hooker. White knee high plastic boots, leopard print leggings and neon top, with top knot on her head of course. It must be the Penneys Spring/Summer range for trailer trash.:D

    Not so trivial thing, earlier on I was walking through the neighbourhood and one of the neighbours was driving with his son, who can't be more than 10 years old, sat on his lap steering the car.:eek: What the actual fcuk is wrong with these guys? It's a residential area with kids and dogs wandering around and this fcukwit was essentially letting his kid drive, daddy didn't even have his hands anywhere near the steering wheel.:mad:

    People being imprecise about times. "I'll meet you at a quarter past, half seven" I usually say "so that's a quarter to eight?" If you mean half seven then say half seven. I'm a stickler for punctuality.

    Obviously not a great idea, but I'd say he had his foot on the brake and virtually nothing could have happened. I'm not saying it's safe or something you'd see me doing, but I'm sure if the kid was rallying towards a cat he would have stopped the car.

    Still, idiot for doing it. I'd be more worried about someone else crashing into them and their heads smacking together.

    That stretch of the neighbourhood is tricky, often you'll get boy racers driving too fast, and it winds around a bit. It just shocked my since you don't really see that kind of thing these days.
