Well that was a long day

Sister’s 40th birthday.

Step-brother didn’t come because there was no one to sit with his dog.

Sister, her fiance, mother, step-father and grand father, aka two special needs, two wheelchair users and a racist sexism old man.

Not feeling too well and knowing I’ll be playing ‘bus-boy’ for them all.

Sister and her fiance brought two guests as it turns out.

With more than half of them being more mental special needs it was difficult because they wanted to talk and have you full attention but others would talk over them also wanting attention, trying to keep them all calm and not argue for talking over the other while trying to not leave someone out.

My head is exhausted.

Went to grab a quiet cigar and drink a pint of Guinness, went outside by myself and one of the group was already out, argh, sat my pint down and went to grab a cigar from my pocket, the table moved and spilled all my pint, argh, then half way through smoking my cigar, several of them came out for a smoke. Argh.

I’m done in, I know they can’t help it but I feel like I’ve been out all day and not achieved anything.

The meal wasn’t even any good. 8oz sirloin steak that was limp and grey, no flavour or texture, mushrooms were fried and forgotten about, chips were clearly from frozen done in a deep fat fryer, etc...

Four Guinness’s plus one that met an untimely to end, a double rum and coke and a Scotch whisky (urgh). I’m ready to call it a day after I’ve eaten my Chinese takeaway (special fried rice and ribs), knock back my last bottle of Budvar (because the off licence/ 7-11 was closed by the time we got home).

I don’t think they could of got more ribs in there.

I really hope others had a better day.

Thanks for that. I couldn’t say anything either as one of the guest as of my sister actually works there, in the kitchen. Doh.

Tomorrow I’m off work and many shops won’t be open either, we have Sunday trading law in England that stores over a certain size can’t be open more than six hours on a Sunday, not to mention it’s a bank holiday weekend and the stores will be the same on Monday too.

“I think we can all agree that while all of us have room for improvement with regards to cooking, it’s relieving to experience somebody at their zenith.”

Off licences are okay, the Sunday trading law affects large stores and supermarkets. It’s just I need some shopping and would rather do it early or or late in the evening, not between 10am and 4pm where the place is crazy with customers.

Alcohol licences are strictly monitored and off licences have to abide by them or lose their licence.

But ye’, as long as I can get some descent drink. I’ll be okay.

I like that your trying to be supportive and yes, it’s a full year until her next birthday, but she’s getting married next April and will have my family to contend with and her fiances family to contend with, add that they want me to be an usher and so can’t just hide away in a bar but must stay sober, pretty sober to corral all the families from one location to another.

FYI, much of my family (on my mother’s side) are from Yorkshire and I have nothing to do with them. They are neanderthals, breeding with who ever will open their legs, causing trouble amongst other members of the family, cheating each other out of money and property.

Can I come visit next March, until say June. I’ll clean the cars and house and cook?

supportive?.... doesnt sound like me... im just a smart ass

on the visit ( i know your joking)

but in your case i might actually be able to that (i have a spare room... and the missus will probably die of shock if i invite over someone who’s actually well behaved and cooks)

(course... you know we’d have to have a cook off.. my pride as misbehaved but cooks is at stakes here)

but seriously mate... you need out for a while.. i got a room

Sounds like the right time for you to join a EurOppo meet to escape. We won’t harvest any organs, promised;)
