    Things that piss you off that shouldn't

    My father is going to die soon from alcohol abuse.

    I haven't spoken to him in about 4 months since he got out of clink and made a token two week effort to stay sober. Before he went inside, for a drink related incident, I don't think I spoke to him for a good 12 months. 

    He's a lovely bloke when he's sober. Charming, funny, bright, adorable like a puppy dog. He's noteworthy. But when it comes to the crunch, he's a piss taker and he's selfish and he's caused no end of emotional harm to my family. That includes myself, though I've only just started to realise how much. I'll never talk to him again and the next time I see him he will be in a casket. That's a nasty thing to deal with.

    Addiction is a debilitating disease, I've seen it first hand not only with him but with my mother, who is thankfully in recovery. I get it. I don't envy their problems and addicts mostly have my sympathy. However, what a lot of addicts claim to know but don't really appreciate is that it's not only they who are affected by their addiction. The people close to them are along for the ride too. When they pick up the bottle or the bag they're making that decision for those people too. 

    The last time I saw him was the day before the Newcastle game last season. He was going to come but claimed it was a bit too short notice for him. As most of you know I was part of the protest group and I was dead proud of what we achieved that day. The march, the beach balls, it was electric. My Mom thought it was all a bit daft, as Mother's do, but my dad? Absolutely no idea. He was already back on the piss. I'm a 33 year old man so I don't need my father's approval, it just would have been nice. One last time. 

    That probably should all piss me off, true. But what pisses me off even more yet shouldn't is that I'm writing this while having a shit, such is my contempt for the situation! 

    I haven't spoken to, seen, or had anything to do with mine for close to 9 years. For the same reason. A total pisspot with no thought of how his behaviour when he's had a few affects those around him.

    We got into it all those years back - verbally and physically - and haven't seen each other since. I don't miss him either. I miss having a father, but I don't miss him, as such. 

    He's 74 now, and still on it. How he's lasted this long, I don't know. But I've been told I'm not welcome at his funeral; and I don't intend going...

    People who use the word like too often and when it isn't appropriate.e.g. 'We LIKE decided to on holiday to LIKE Bali but before we could LIKE book had to LIKE call Portia to LIKE check that it was LIKE fine to LIKE confirm the booking.' I was born in Shakespeare's county and I hate butchery of the english language. rocket polishers

    The mondegreens (mis-heard lyrics) thread

    The Missus once asked me what a "Jamijig" was. I said that I had no idea. She said it was in a song by Justin Trousersnake.

    We were in the car sometime after, when the song came on the radio.

    It took me a while to stop laughing and point out the line was "Damage is"...done, so I guess I'll be leaving...

    Anyone scared of death?

    Apart from it being painful, the only thing that bothers me is all the stuff I'd miss...

    I'd miss out on things my family does. I'd miss seeing how upset my wife would be (hopefully)...

    I'd miss out on how my kids grow up and live their lives, and what they do with them.

    I'd miss out on seeing my grandkids grow up. And their kids, and their kids, and so on...

    I'd miss out on general stuff that happens in the world. Global warming making Planet Earth uninhabitable, Colonising Mars, what becomes of the human race, etc...

    And I'd miss out on seeing Villa win a trophy...

    This is why I don't get attached to players anymore. Yorke finished it for me. It's the way it is unfortunately

    Haha, Andy Gray did it for me in 1979.

     

    Same here... Cried like it was the end of the world...

    The missus found out just before Xmas that her mother gave a baby up for forced adoption when she was 17.

    We are taking this new sister-in-law to meet her mother for the first time. 4 hours drive away to Port Macquarie NSW.

    Unfortunately (for everyone) mother has dementia so she won't even realise what's happened, and said sister-in-law will never be able to have a worthwhile relationship with the mother she's been looking for for 10 years.

     

    Pretty heavy & emotional couple of days coming up...

    Ratings and Reactions: Arsenal - Villa

    I'm pretty disgusted. Not with the Villa team or manager, but with most of the reactions on here. We were outplayed by a superior team who were on their game. It happens. I'm as disappointed as the rest of you, but some of the comments on here are pathetic. For **** 's sake grow up.

     

    Right on the money...

    To me, Benteke is a confidence player, and needs to be scoring to maintain that. Apart from him, I'd give most of the others a rest.

     

    So maybe:

     

    Guzan / Lowton / Baker / Vlaar / Hutton / Sanchez / Gil / Delph / Sinclair / Gabby / Benteke

     

    Maybe give guys like Senderos / Clark / Wiemann a run off the bench...
