Things you'd like to say, but can't

[GrumpyGregry]

Dad I love you, I know you're 90 and blind, and a bit deaf, I know you gave up your youth fighting so I didn't have to grow up speaking German, I know I owe you so very much. Dad, I love you, but it's just that... driving 250 miles/five hours each way at the weekend to see you, makes me feel ill with fatigue at the end of the weekend and is bankrupting me physically, emotionally, and financially and I'm terrified I'm going to die on the M4

This is why I moved my folks into the granny flat at the back of my house.

Phil, you will be very much missed by a lot of people, probably more then most will realise.
RIP

in his defence, FatherDaisy does seem to be a bit thick.

In my world, that would be the crime not the defence ;-)

I appreciate your feelings - I'm not a great fan of the things - but couldn't you pass it on to someone else? There must be someone - a colleague, a neighbour, somebody, who'd like to have it. You could even be quite honest and say "Look, I've been given this and know I'll kill it, would you like it?"

I think some people really do get into present ruts, or can't think of anything so grab something random. I have to resort to toiletries for my b-i-l's Mum, although I wouldn't generally give them to anyone else, unless requested.

This site is good for present ideas.

You've got a voice like a talking duck. Now go away and squawk in someone else's ear.

Find your ticket/the money for it BEFORE you get on the bus, you numpty!

Dont you think it would be quite good if somebody decided to ring the woman who has been seeing the man they love d for the past year and introduced themselves. What?? you thought he was single?? Oh dear,sorry to ruin your day. But then actually....he is now so good luck.

And at least its proven that I am not "paranoid with trust issues" but actually have very good female intuition and a highly-tuned TW@T RADAR

You are a complete twerp. I do not care if I held you up for ten seconds. There was a very good reason for that, in the shape of a very large, very fast-moving very bright vehicle with very bright blue flashing lights and a very loud siren. I had no intention of driving across its path in order to avoid delaying you.

Oh... you did not notice it? Get a eye test, a hearing test and some patience.

Stop treating me like a f!@#&*) 12 yr old and stop interfering in my life NOW I'm 30 F######9 FFS

Hey! Metro readers!

Is there a lucky winning number subtly printed in the margin of page 6 that I don't know about?

Else why must you take the second or even the fifth one down the pile? Even when the top one was taken seconds before you arrived? Lordy lordy, it's just a free newspaper, for heaven's sake.

More hypothetically, and for the Standard readers, too;

Would you so readily discard your Metro/Standard on the train seat when you leave if you had paid for it?
Honestly, there's enough paper left on the train of an evening to gift wrap the feckin' Pentagon.

In my 30 year career to date, you really were the most useless, bullying wan**r of a boss it's been my mis-fortune to work for. You were not fit to clean the shoes of people I have managed in the past. However, I used you and your useless little company as the required stop-gap for 12 months, and am now in the role I was aiming for all along. You will get found out one day.

What is it about managers?
