Worried about my 18 year old son buying joke shirts from Afflecks Palace

Ha ha ha ha!

This is such a funny thread. I adored afflecks palace in the 90s and took. DD there on a uni visit a few years ago and was delighted that it hadn't changed.

I had 'Fcuk me' on my tshirt.i wore doc martens and drank cider.

Now I live in a 5 bed thatched cottage in the southwest and I have two children at private school.

I think he will be fine op.

Okay, this thread was hilarious but that comma absolutely broke me 😂😂😂

Mother! I’d like to fuck…

Manchster was full of cheap bear in the 90; s if you knew where to go😂

Grim.

I was thinking of FCUK before you typed that.

Yes, we all go through over the top phases. Your son will settle down, op, don't worry.

Wow, you must be scintillating company at parties, dear...😆

That has always been the excuse for jokes that punch down.

I am on the fence about these T shirts. Aggression towards women is different nowadays, more intense and with dark money driving lawful freedoms and rights backwards.

I remember my son coming home being all excited because the tables and chairs didnt match. Cutting Edge.

Might be just me looking for cheap bad beer in the Britannia instead

Yes back in the 90,s
Not that often but i dont remember it being terrible?

My 16 year old bi-sexual son has a pink T-shirt that says ‘toys before boys’ and three dildos. It’s mortifying and hilarious in equal measure when he wears it, but I’m proud of him for being exactly who he is, and making us all laugh with it.

your son has got the rest of his life for lightheartedness to get beaten out of him by capitalism and … you know… life.

let him enjoy his teenage boy humour, it’s part of what makes them daft and magical.

also ‘man I love frogs’ 🐸 is great, what are you talking about?

Batshittitude!

Exactly!! Obviously gone totally over the OPs head!

Complete overreaction, especially since he's 18.

At about 14 I bought a t-shirt that said something like 'I like the Pope. The Pope smokes dope.' My Catholic parents probably hated it but didn't give me a reaction, just told me not to wear it to church or visiting elderly relatives. If they'd made a huge fuss or tried to destroy it I'd have been very indignant and bought more 'offensive' clothing I'm sure. Instead it was a non-event.

Did you actually eat in the cafe? I was never brave enough

saying that we used to drink in the Britannia hotel overlooking the swimming pool and cockroaches having a swim

you what??? honestly keep out of his relationship

35 years ago for me 😪
And the corn exchange before the 1996 bomb

This thread is making me so nostalgic for my Saturdays at Affleck’s 25 years ago 🥲 I miss that place so much!

Is the cafe still there?

I want to stop reading this but I don't have control of the TV right now and I've resorted to MN for entertainment before bed.

haha - I keep thinking about my MIL being so 'offended' by everything but saw a picture of her cooch practically hanging out of her bikini in the 60s and her whinging about her dad being so 'strict' and 'unfair'

I can't with it all!

Its Afflecks palace its meant to be controversial
It was contriversial when i went throughhout the 90,s

OP I think you have several issues. One is that you don’t believe your child is a man and think you can still make his choices for him. Second that you are upset by one of his choices, which you can express but shouldn’t expect any change if you do.

The biggest issue I can see is that you expect other women to police men. It is not our job and your son’s girlfriend is right to refuse you.

@MiaKulper

😂 such a great response, he’d be scrambling for that receipt.

I don't think you do understand the joke. It's making fun of people who would use MILF to objectify women.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

TBF, he’d be really polite if he did.

I’m now imagining a Little Lord Faultneroy (? Spelling) character saying “mother, I’d like to fuck” and the mother saying “well that’s nice my boy, off you jolly well go”
