Out for a mate’s birthday drink last night (which had been planned for several weeks) and two friends say they’re not coming via WhatsApp around 8:30pm, well into the evening, table booked at a restaurant etc. What were the excuses? We always have one mate who pulls out at the last minute and the excuse is always something to do with his kid (kid is ill, Mom can't have the kid, kid has been abducted by aliens, etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twice. Neither of them have children. I don’t mind them not attending, it’s leaving it so late that irritates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 We have a shared Google calendar and a 'first come first served' guideline in our house, works quite well for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My observations - One bit had both the men and women, sat around taking it in turns to say which three members of the group they found most attractive. Just ranking them, in front of everyone, having been introduced to them about 20 minutes previously. No one politely declined. All of the women are vapid. One or two of them are good looking, but that’s about it. All of the men are vapid. Not one of the men has a chest hair between them. It's a ridiculous show aimed primarily at morons. The best thing that could happen to Love Island would be for someone to fire a load of Scud missiles at the set.

We both tried to make shared plans for the same night on more than one occasion too. A synced up version on a phone is perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite bizarre sort of baby substitute behaviour I just found too creepy to put up with. I have noticed exactly this in people who keep dogs and have no children. They'll also be just a little bit too quick to tell you how wonderful their lives are. Edited July 29, 2018 by sidcow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlwaysAVFC Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 I’m in Ireland for a few days, in a lovely house rental with a sea view, 4 ensuite bedrooms and another bathroom. Weather isn’t great but that’s not a problem. But... Each and every shower in the place is a Triton! I’m not happy and my Mrs thinks i’m weird. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted July 30, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted July 30, 2018 Speaking of Ireland, I just booked some flights for next week. They're expensive enough as it is, but as I was booking them, in a bit of a rush, I stupidly pressed "confirm" when a popup came up asking if I wanted to make the booking flexible (read: pay an extra £50 for nothing). I thought it was the button to confirm payment so I pressed it. It added and paid for it immediately. **** sake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Which airline? BA let you cancel within 24 hours of booking, they're probably not the only ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
