We have just had a baby son, just before xmas. I asked them and their son over for dinner on saturday - I dont think he likes coming to London at all tbh, they live in Essex. Its not far but he thinks the area is bad (North London)
He was on a downer the moment he walked through the door, I had to make all the effort to talk, he barely spoke to my DP (hes turkish, and this guy doesnt like 'foreigners') My baby son was in his vibrating bouncy chair and he asked me if Id attached my rabbit to it. Then his son had a temperature, he asked me to feel the kids head to check and when I said would you like a thermometer, he said "Dont be stupid, I dont need Michael Fish to tell me its raining outside". Im sure these are all jokes but from the tone of voice I was unsure. I acted like he was joking anyway although the vibrator one really wound me up.
He asked me randomly if I was the one he was having the arguement about God with. I said no, not me... er... why, would he like to talk about God? He said no. Thats fine. And said no more 
Its all very strange. DP has suggested that this guy just doesnt 'get' me/us as we would probably be regarded as alternative to this man. Hes very into mainstream things and not really able to talk about much else. (He asked me where I buy that weird music from, when I said HMV he was shocked they sold such music.... It was Pink Floyd. 
)
He just called to apologise for acting 'off' and blamed being tired (yeah I have a 10 week old and Id just spent the evening making him dinner!) but it was clearly because my friend made him.
AIBU to think this guy is an absolute dickhead? I wish I could tell him so too, but I dont want to upset my friend. GRRR!
