turvontour Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 At my little lads Saturday morning kick about. There are 8 children playing here ages 3 to 6. My lad has his Villa kit on. The other children have PSG, Real Madrid, Juventus and 2 in Barcelona, with two just in plain hoodies. Am i now the odd one making him support Villa? What happens to our local teams years down the line in terms of interest? When i played 25 years ago we were all in Villa, Blues, West Brom etc with a couple in Man U or Liverpool. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Closing this year, the all new single Berlin Airport is opening later in the year right next to that one. The other three airports are closing. This was all meant to be finished in 2012 so it’s received little investment for the best part of a decade 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in Sainsburys the other day and bloke behind me was doing it. I could have quite easily stoved his cranium in with the large bottle of bleach I had in my trolley. I despise whistling. It's incredibly arrogant to think that anybody wants to hear you whistle. Shut the **** up. The only person not annoyed by that noise is you. 12 hours ago, Xela said: - The fact that some of my mates are so whipped they have to get 'permission' from their other halves before they can commit to coming out for a drink. I think they secretly enjoy being doormats. Yep, that annoys me too. I don't mind checking with your other half. Of course. I'll do that. But some of my mates genuinely need permission. Like they won't have any other plans, they just have girlfriends or wives who won't let them go out. I couldn't deal with that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My ex wife was fine with me going out with my mates as long as she also had something planned or could set something up for the same night. If she didn't (or couldn't) make any plans then yeah, her "arseyness" kicked in big time. Edited April 7, 2018 by mottaloo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But some of my mates genuinely need permission. Like they won't have any other plans, they just have girlfriends or wives who won't let them go out. I couldn't deal with that. It would annoy the shit out of me too, fortunately I think I've so far managed to avoid such a situation. I decided I was going out for a few drinks on Good Friday daytime, when I told my missus, her reaction was what time? She only wanted to know because she was going out with people from work, it would have been perfectly ok if one of us didn't have plans, she only wanted to know what time to coordinate transport if possible as we were heading in similar directions. She went out before me and met us for the last hour before we went home. Sure there has to be a degree of compromise, I wouldn't even organise something if the day was a special day or the was the potential for some sort of family event like taking our daughter to Uni or something. I really couldn't imagine a successful relationship where I had to actually ask permission to go out. I don't even see the need to "check in" unless something occurred that necessitated it. My missus might send me a text saying "What time are you coming home?" but thats usually to see if I can pick something up from the garage on the way home or something. There really has to be some form of independence for each party in any relationship otherwise the partnership isn't entered into with equal partners. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designer1 Posted April 7, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted April 7, 2018 Genuinely don't remember in 20 years of marriage asking for 'permission' to go out anywhere. Likewise I wouldn't expect my wife to need to ask me either. We always let each other know what we're doing of course, but having to actually ask? Absolutely no no for me. Probably why she never annoys me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Only once I ever got in to a row with my wife over going out. I went on a jolly boys outing to Portugal and said I'd be back on Wednesday, when what I'd meant to say was Saturday. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAVe80 Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 The fact that I thought the match was tomorrow, and was only told half an hour to kick off, it was today by my Dad. I could have avoided watching this crap! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC_Hitz Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 I tell the missus where I'm going and where I am. Maybe about 2am I'll send her some filthy messages, come in at 5am and conk out. It's stopped to an extent with the baby now, but she's just practically pushed me out of the door after 6 hours of just me and the baby dribbling at each other.
