If I don't go in fancy dress though I'll likely be the only one there that hasn't bothered and the abuse I'll get will be unbearable. Theme is 'through the ages'... any suggestions on the cheap?

People who can see you're having lunch but have decided you're working to their schedule so come over to discuss a completely non-urgent matter that absolutely can wait for the half an hour I've got to finish my crisps and read the news. Just firmly and politely tell them, "I'm really sorry, I'm on my lunch break" and carry on eating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, something that pisses me off and gives me a "when I were a lad" opportunity - the modern trend for BUYING fancy dress, shops that sell/hire it, etc. We always made our own. Use a bit of imagination. We once had one in the house I was sharing, and I changed costumes several times - footballer (full kit rocket polisher), western gunslinger, punk rocker, Bob Dylan, schoolboy, gangster, etc. All improvised. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They haven't actually said it, but I can sense these things. If I had to pick a VTer to be my new dad, you'd definitely make my shortlist. I may start auditioning soon.

I've seen pics on Facebook of some of the other VT'ers kids and they are nowhere near as cute and wonderful as my kids so you should definitely consider me as your new dad But I'm gonna need to see pictures of your mum before I fully commit to the idea 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dAVe80 Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 I've often thought I'd like to have Mooney and Chris as my Uncles. Mainly, so I can borrow* records off them. *By borrow, I mean take, and never give back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAVe80 Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Xann can be my cool (I may be wrong, but I think older) brother, who lives in that London. maqroll can be my cousin who lives in America, and can put me up for a bit, if I ever want to go to on holiday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine it would be frustrating .. you'd arrange to meet on Tuesday and he'll turn up on Thursday and then claim to have been there since Monday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it will strictly be just for long enough for some getting to know you novelty sex and to clock up enough time to then divorce and get half of her record collection. Then I'd be back home.
