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.

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.

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.

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".

    • I've noticed the foxes are very frisky at the moment, it's mating season. Perhaps it was a male fox who saw you as a danger to his vixen and wanted to see you off.
    • I’m not sure how many other people have experienced this; but both me and one of my friends have the same story. Around Crawthew Grove and Crystal Palace Road: I was followed by a large fox right on my heel. At first I didn’t notice because I had my headphones on, but then I noticed my shadow had an extra lump in it, funnily enough, it was a fox, very very close to my feet. Even if I sped up walking it just tried to get closer - it was quite frightening actually, it was quite clear that it wanted to nip me. I didn’t know what to do so, I started to reprimand the fox and walked slowly away from it, facing it - which it didn’t seem to like and backed off a bit. I then proceeded to speed-walk away.   Quite frankly, the whole situation was quite embarrassing and a little bit frightful as I’d never had a fox even come up to me. I’ve heard of particularly curious foxes that might come up to someone who beckons them, and maybe even bite that person, but I’ve never heard of a fox chasing someone. The amount of confidence that it had was incredible.    When it happened, I was on the way to see some friends, and once I had told one of them, she told me the same thing happened to her.  if anyone else knows anything about this bitey fox then let me know!
    • Another recommendation for Andy. I needed an old kitchen removed as an emergency. Andy came over quickly and did a fantastic job. I have used Andy a few times. He is punctual, helpful and always does an  excellent job.
