Public School - Who goes

[Mick Mac]

Sorry guys, but this one was not serious. I got such a pasting on the other thread I thought I would run this one. It was discussed hypothetically betwen some friends of ours recently.

I have only two children - both girls, and to be honest it would be both or none as most people suggested, if I wanted to spend my money that way, which I prob wouldn't.

Rosie made me laugh. And yes my wife says I'm sexist too.

Made for a good thread though - lots of responses in a short time.

You bastard..........reminding me of me dead brother!

[Mick Mac]

Sorry Declan.

[Narnia]

It's ok Mick (sigh)........who does that remind me of?

[Mick Mac]

[KalamityKel]

oh deary me! Deary me indeed!

[Narnia]

Better than Dreary Me!

[Mikecg]

Doh!

[KalamityKel]

a title of a new thread? :p

[AllforNun]

send the best looking girl, she can then get married to someone with money quick, then pay for a top education for the children of her siblings and then also pay for her siblings to leave work and study, OU or something, in later life. Plus the Parents of her rich husband may be a right fruity pair of swingers then you and your hub could find yourself in some big stately home in years to come dressed as victorian parlour slaves havin a right bubble !

christ its so simple, i wonder why i bother !

[Mikecg]

KK what do you mean by :p?

[KalamityKel]

:p is a sticky out tongue. To b used when suggesting a bit of humour

[Mikecg]

Cool.:))

Send all three kids to the local state school and, if you have any spare cash, add some additional learning where or if needed...

music, languages, extra help if not doing well in a specific subject, etc...

In 1 out 5 households (within a male and female relationship) the woman is now the main breadwinner and 1 in 5 men are now the primary carer of children within families in the UK.

so TLS maybe men have more 'choices' that you think!

or are we still here???

Yes CharlieCharlie,

One of my plans was to seek out a 40+ Women trader with a limited shelf life and huge bank balance then I could have pounced and ponced but it never came to be.

[charliecharlie]

hhmmm Mikecg

Perhaps you forum bedside manner needs a little refining...

Maybe she hasn't spotted your irresistible charms hiding beneath your sharp wit(?):)

It's never to late to find 'true love' though... so keep looking

Charlie

[KalamityKel]

haha charlie u made me spit me cereals then!

Mikecg good luck with ur plan I assume it's now more of a priority than the world domination one ;-)

[Tony.London Suburbs]

KK: Admit it!

Early starts, Westminster..you are either Jacqui Smith or Harriet Harperson (your absence in their recent respective threads WAS "noted") or Ruth Kelly or Bridget Prentiss or Tessa Jowell ain't yer?

[KalamityKel]

There's no need to b so insulting Tony - besides none of the above get to work (in Westminster) that early :p

[Tony.London Suburbs]

If you stick your virtual tongue out at me once more..well I just don't know what I'll do Madam!:-S

Mick,

Completely agree with previous posters as being all or nothing. You will create such issues between your children and besides, it's nice to have them all at the same school. Agree with charliecharlie that you can then splurge on extracurricular activities like music, dance, drama, football and also buy that baby grand piano so they can practice and/or build a football pitch in garden for your son.

Hope this isn't a wind-up?! :)

Best,

-C
