There wouldn't be so many horses bred... On balance, I think I'd rather not exist than be beaten to run faster, then euthanised when the **** dwarf on my back makes me break my leg. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted March 15, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted March 15, 2018 People who talk about their kids as if they're the first people in the world who have ever had children. Shut the **** up. Nobody cares about the little brats. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad they cleared that up, the people that don't add that obviously hate their offspring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shut the **** up. Nobody cares about the little brats. One of my mates gave birth to her first about a week ago. She used to be a right laugh, now it's just Bodhi this and Bodhi that. Firstly, what the **** kind of name is Bodhi. I'm expecting her first "as a mother" comment any day now. I don't think we'll be friends for much longer. Babies are shit and ruin their parents. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodders Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 (edited) And social catch ups when they happen ( 3/4 times a year seems about standard ) are only at lunchtimes, or early afternoon, obviously.

Mark Albrighton Posted March 15, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted March 15, 2018 A lot of new parents can be like that. I make it a point of only talking about kids when in conversation with other parents. Unless I’m specifically asked of course. Although one benefit I find is after Villa lose, when I’m asked “did you watch the game last night?” with a knowing smile, wanting to provoke a reaction from me, I just say firmly “nah mate, had my kid last night so was looking after her”.

chrisp65 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Credit to a few of my footy watching mates. Now admittedly, I only see them on football days, but I'm always impressed when one turns up with a 14 year old kid they've not previously spoken about. Thinking about it, I've presumed they just didn't talk about their kids until they were old enough to bring them along to the football. But I suppose it could be that I just know a load of pseudos.

I dont care though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a m ole Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 (edited) People who water down Fairy liquid or hand soap to get the last bits out the bottle. Disgusting. If you’re going to do it, use warm water ONCE then throw it away. Edited March 16, 2018 by a m ole 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
