Just my humble opinion, yours?

I agreed. If you didn't like him,well he was leaving, like kicking someone when they are down-rather unsporting, what, what?

I think you're wrong. Yesterday was the best day of his life and I have no doubt that within one hour of setting foot in Texas he climbing into a bottle of Old Crow, laughind hysterically and screaming "SUCKERRRR!!!" at the TV.

Thats what my dad did when he retired. My mum was so used to him being out of the house for at least 10 hours a day and then he retired and was in her face 24/7. It took her at least a couple of years to get used to it!!

I guess your Brother in-law is just another ill mannered yobbo.

Throwing shoes, is currently being used by terrorist sympathizers.
