Due to my wife's son getting married in May - there is a Stag do coming up that I am supposed to be going to

I really don;t like this sort of thing.
firstly I know hardly anyone who will be there - and the groom's cousins that I do know might not arrive until late due to work problems

secondly - that means turning up to a pub - which is likely to be crowded - that I have not been in for many many years and never liked (the Philharmonic in Liverpool - it is famous for the Gents toilets!!!) to meet up with a group of peopel in a crowd and hoping that I recognise someone - which I hate doing even if I know everyone

Thirdly - apparently they are "having a few pints" - and I can;t drink beer any more - and then going to a "place" to play pool and beer pong
which sounds like something with "fun rules"
then going onto a somewhere with a stripper
and I have never liked "fun rules" and have never been to a stripper type thing that I liked
For some reasons I always think that the stripper is probably only doing it because she is desperate for the money and the places are normally dumps anyway


but apparently I have to go
I can see why - because if I don;t turn up and the Bride finds out then my wife will get the blame


Oh - and I have just found out that the original date was the 1st - presumably of April
I was told it had changed to the 15th - so I assumed April
but it is apparently 15th March - in 2 days time

Now just how are you going to see the boil on your arse in order to lance it?
And what do you plan to lance it with ?

These are the important things that Mr Numbnuts is missing out on.

I'll pass on that Dave

Sparky is still here at 18:20. Decided to run a new lighting circuit as when he was disconnecting the old consumer unit the cables looked discoloured. As he was in the loft going from light fitting to light fittings in the upstairs room he called me up to witness what he had found above the bathroom. A good job we did decide to run new cables, this was the state of the wiring 😮

Quite possibly it's been like that for years and would of been ok for longer if not disturbed.

And it gets worse - apparently my wife's ex is going
he is trying to get someone to share a taxi with him

Yeah - good luck sharing the fare!


bet he wants to talk to me
I have been avoiding him at family things for over 10 years - might be difficult to avoid him at this one!!!

I have been cast asunder and deserted...

But...

Can't be beaten, a bit of ex interaction!

Been there, done it, etc. 🤷‍♂️

Mrs @BoldonLad has three daughters to previous marriage. All three are married now (well, one is divorced, but, we will leave that to one side). In each case, their (biological) Father was invited to the wedding, and, did attend. I gave each of them the option to have him do the "walk down the aisle". The eldest opted for him, the other two for me. I did meet him on other occasions, didnt find it particularly difficult to be honest. I suppose I did "win" because I also attended his funeral (to support his daughters) ;)
