my brother's best friend has just named his newborn the same name as my brother's son- who is four years old. Now I know that it is a compliment, but it's the way in which he conducted himself. He didn't consult with my brother, didn't even tell him his baby had been born a week ago. My brother heard from a friend. When he rang to congratulate him, and asked the baby's name, he commented it was nice that he had named him after his son: but his best friend had the audacity to say he didn't like the name at all, it was his girlfriend's choice, also he wasn't aware that my brother's son had that name, although he had an inkling! He said they consulted baby name books, etc. My brother is understandably upset and feels betrayed. We, as a family, feel my brother's pain. But are we being terribly unreasonable, or are we justified in our emotions?

Aaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrgh, my eyes, my eyes...good fucking god, that's not right! Who possibly looked at that then in the name of all things good, think of a blue waffle! I didn't think such an affliction even existed!!

Witchofthenorth · 01/09/2011 10:23

I can never ever, have any kind of waffle for breakfast or dessert, ever again!

nenevomito · 01/09/2011 10:24

You can warn, but they will always go and look for themselves.

So, southmum. Do you like dragon butter?

Songbird · 01/09/2011 10:25

I wish I hadn't googled blue waffle, I really wish I hadn't!

I love the actual real time delay while people are googling lol. Blue waffle still the best though :D

Glad to bring some interest to your mornings Slags Grin

southmum · 01/09/2011 10:31

Well.......thats breakfast coming back up in 5....4.....3....2.......

ExitPursuedByATroll · 01/09/2011 10:31

This is priceless.

I named my horse after my grandmother. Does that make me posh? Or can I be insulted as well?

I am in the fortunate position of being on my work laptop which will not allow me to google anything remotely offensive.
