They’re even worse when they’ve got the decorators in.IdleHans said:We are currently tarting up our house to sell - it's been a bit neglected but is of modern construction (made of cardboard, balsa wood and cream cheese) and just needs new paint everywhere and new flooring, the old stuff shows a history of cats, dogs, vomiting toddlers and general threadbareness. Then it'll look like nearly new again.
All we need is a roughly white coat of paint and woodwork in white gloss. But suddenly Mrs idle is fussing over colours and buying endless tester pots of things that should properly be called korma vomit, dirty protest, toxic mushroom etc. Every one of them utterly effing vile. Three rooms have been done in our initial choice which was 'chalk' or similar, and looks bright, clean and appealing, if a little bland. It's supposed to be a blank canvas for the next people.
I don't get the agonising - I've sworn to have nothing to do with colours as it's not my forte, but the muddy shit she's experimenting with is doing my head in. What's worse is the decorators are a week in, and this dithering is holding up the work, all for something that doesn't need to be thought about. It's not for us, it's for the estate agency pictures and the next people. Let them paint over it - they will anyway.

Was listening to Talksport earlier, Darren Bent mentioned that he’d taken his kids to the cinema at the weekend but spent most of the time on his phone playing solitaire. Aside from that being a poor thing to not even be able to devote just a couple of hours of your undivided attention to your kids being on a phone is shitty to the others their.orpingtonRED said:

Everyone has their windows open, its a day you can actually dry washing outside so these rectal worms decide to make the whole place stink.
Barbecues, bring them on, the smell of summer. If you are one of the above mentioned people. Everyone who lives near you has visualised your painful demise.
Like playing a video or music through your phone makes you a wanker and someone who has definitely not been punched enough. In fact I haven't punched anyone for ages. In my head I've gone round there, knocked on the door, put my weight on my back foot, twisted at the knees and hips and punched straight through the target, the target being one of my dickhead neighbours. Either the point of the jaw or just under the rib cage

It is a problem because you still get the glare from the screen, if someone was constantly using their phone next to me in the cinema on silent or not I would be having words.orpingtonRED said:

We don't know what the film was, but surely there should be some discussion afterwards, a bit of interaction between the adult and the children? If it's something like a Disney there's going to be a moral somewhere, what a great time to teach the youngsters something. If you haven't watched it, and they can clearly see that is the case, what can you say?buckshee said:

A special mention for my ex-school mates at BGS (not you @AFKABartram) who are all so very quick to suggest dates that they are available for once in a blue moon Friday drinks but by 24-48hrs before, every single one of them in the whatsapp group are either ill, got alternative plans or just dont even engage with the whatsapp group!)
3rd time in 12m I've tried to get the boys out but here we are, yet again, every single one of them have blown the night out. So fucked off.
Have definitely made the right decision to go on a nice holiday rather than have a 50th party next year as I dont think anyone would bother to turn up.
Oh and thats another thing, whatsapp groups. You ask the group a simple yes/no answer question and you can see they've read it but they dont bother responding. Its like dealing with petchulant children.
Oh well, thats at least £100 I've saved.11 -

When the head moderator of your favourite football forum went to your school, you don't invite him to the reunion and then moan about it on his site when nobody turns up...

Funny how groups formed at school when you think back. All the cool trendy, popular people... then all the nerds... then the geeks... AFKA fell into the cool trendy/popular group... that wasn't the group that was meeting Friday night. We'll leave it there lol.

I remember meeting up with my old school mates about 15 years after we left (which was far too long) and once we had caught up with what everyone was doing now, it was basically strangers trying to find something we still had in common and trying to outdo each other ("my wife was Miss England!", "really!, thats a coincidence my wife was Miss UK, and did you see my Lexus in the car park", "I did!, and if you want I'll get my chauffeur to wash it for you if you want?!"). I can honestly say that dental root canal was only marginally less painful. It wasn't repeated (or if it was, I wasn't invited!).Algarveaddick said:
I get what you are saying, but they should have the decency to say they can't be arsed and turn the invite down.gringo said:
I think theres generally a reason why people don't keep in touch- and you have to accept that peoples lives move on, and they can no longer be arsed.JohnBoyUK said:
I totally get it if 1 or 2 dropped out but we're talking a group of 10-12 and every single one of them drop out. It wouldn't have been so bad if there was 4-5 of us, that would have been more than acceptable.Gribbo said:
We had a mini school reunion the other week up Borough, and 2 out the 6 blew it out last minute.JohnBoyUK said:A special mention for my ex-school mates at BGS (not you @AFKABartram) who are all so very quick to suggest dates that they are available for once in a blue moon Friday drinks but by 24-48hrs before, every single one of them in the whatsapp group are either ill, got alternative plans or just dont even engage with the whatsapp group!)
3rd time in 12m I've tried to get the boys out but here we are, yet again, every single one of them have blown the night out. So fucked off.
Have definitely made the right decision to go on a nice holiday rather than have a 50th party next year as I dont think anyone would bother to turn up.
Oh and thats another thing, whatsapp groups. You ask the group a simple yes/no answer question and you can see they've read it but they dont bother responding. Its like dealing with petchulant children.
Oh well, thats at least £100 I've saved.3 -
Gringo and Gribbo posting on the same thread is confusing enough, but then Gribbo starts quoting and replying to his own post6

Summer!!
I just don't cope well in the heat, why the hell they have Sports Day for the kids at School this time of the year is beyond understanding for me... Why can't they host it in winter, nothing wrong with Primary School kids doing the bobsleigh, or Figure Skating!!4
