When I stay at my Mum's house I smoke outside and bin the fag butts. When I'm at the Mrs' parents place I just go without and don't smoke. If someone asked to smoke inside my apartment I'd probably laugh in their face. I mean, not to lie but I have a smoke with my pint as well, but thats only outside the house and I make sure the kids never get to see me and dont even get me started on the passive smoking issues! btw the same idiot then later on asked for a set of keys to my house, reason being : oh you know so you dont have to get up and open the door when I stumble home at 'a$$hole' o clock in the morning.....the missus just looked at him and said 'dont bother coming home on those nights then' :rofl::rofl: *she scares me sometimes :o |

Re: Venting Thread
I get fed up with people who keep saying "that's not like the UK" or "we don't have that at home" as if being different was somehow wrong. Do they need reminding that we used to live in the UK and know what it's like?

well, erm, not really.... my dad got all snitty with me one day as we went to carrefour and looking for sauces for his dinner.... I don't use sauce, whereas he buys tin so we have a fundamental problem there in that i'm not trying to be difficult, but when you cannot eat tomatoes and haven't done for years, I have no freaking idea what kind of tomato mush he needs

Why do people expect that products in stores here would be just like in the UK or wherever they came from? That mystifies me. |
