Father Ted - I just don't get it ...

[Mick Mac]

Watching Father Ted tonight, my wife said..."Father Ted - I don't get it."

Playing golf a couple of weeks ago a guy said to me...."Mrs Brown's Boys - I just don't get it" - I thought, what a twat.

I can't really make this type of remark about my wife's lack of respect for Father Ted though - what should I do? There is no future if we can't reconcile this issue. Help.

[giggirl]

I have no words Mick Mac. Divorce. And go sole custody.

[Mick Mac]

We are trying to work it out GG. She doesn't know yet that I'm getting such positive advice from the EDF though.

[????]

FECK, DRINK etc

[????]

My missus doesn't get gambling. When we were in Vegas she played 6 hands of blackjack, doubled her money and said 'this is boring' and wondered off. Madness.

[????]

..but she does 'quite like' Father Ted

[Mick Mac]

Women eh. Why didn't you offer her money to play your hand? Tell her to remember that her name is Mrs ???? and money is the name of the game.

[????]

Don't blame gender, you don,t like Poker but GG knows it's one of mankinds greatest inventions

Whilst I appreciate that should be "peoplekind's" to avoid a massive irony, it sounds crap

Priceless

I don't like poker? first I knew - love poker but rarely comes into my life.

Double irony...my investion of "Mrs ????" doesn't really exist, as in she walked from the money - as women aren't greedy like men. I'd guess GG plays poker with the main aim being for fun not money, happy to be corrected by the GG.

[giggirl]

Yes fun. But that's probably why I'm such a looser.

Maybe she doubled the ?1 you gave her and wanted a Coke - job done.

I'm with her

On my Vegas honeymoon, I was asked why I wasn't playing "not my cup of tea really, bit boring" and I was up on my betting money too.

"Maybe you'd be better off away from the table" said the security guy, taking my drink, leading me elsewhere.

Seeing a Philippino lady (dead in the eyes) play two slots at the same time, with a a bucket of coins propped on a seat for each one, just about finished me off. (as did the swim up poker/roulette table in the pool, as did the fibreglass trees)

Yeah yeah - I get that "for that moment when i'm deciding where I place my money, i'm in control of what i'm doing" thing - but boring as hell, even worse hearing about it.

Meh - with added Meh !

Father Ted is genius tho - poor you Mic.

[????]

interesting that even thought it's 'even worse hearing about it' you pop up frequently on any gambling thread, moaning about it nettie?

[El Pibe]

Funnily enough when ever la piba and I step into a casino, I lose everything within about four minutes, wondering why anyone bothers and then I have to literally prise la piba off the slots!!!

[giggirl]

How can a thread go from Father Ted to Vegas? Only on the EDF.

Didn't Father Ted blow a load of money in Vegas...money that was supposed to send an orphan to Lourdes?

[Mick Mac]

He also dreams of spending Father Jack's inheritance on girls and casino - but then Father Jack comes back from the dead.

Oh dear mic mac, how could you have gotten this far? You even went on holiday to Vagas with this woman.

Does she understand the "this cow small, that cow far away scenario"?

Completely with her on the Mrs Browns boys tho - I am of the ginger persuasion and from that neck of the woods, so I can say with total authority it is utter sh*te.

Go for anulment, I am sure there must be a clause that covers "the missus doesn't get Father Ted".

[Mick Mac]

It was Mrs ???? who went to Vegas. It was a random golfer who didn't like Mrs Brown's Boys.

Apart from that - you are mostly right. ;)

[reeko]

well thank Christ for that - at least you didn't take her on holiday to Vegas.

You missed this year, but if you can keep going for another 11 months and surprise her with a trip to an 'exotic' island, she's bound to get it!

[reeko]

You could even enter her into the Lovely Girls competition
