to think that falling in your plate is not on at lunch?

[Hullygully]

So, Sunday lunch at a friend's yesterday. A couple that we know slightly are also invited. The woman who is very bright and very pleasant for the first hour, drinks so much that she is literally unable to speak (but doesn't stop trying), and we all carry on with lunch pretending that everything is normal and not laughing where she can see.

Is this normal? In any way?

Will anybody think of the plate? The innocent bystander in all of this. Don't hate on the plate.

Is the potato smashed?

To be fair though AgentZigZag Mn has changed. A lot and the frothing at the mouth is just part of it.

I too have lost most of my family to alcohol. I am sorry that you have suffered and lost your parents. But why do you want to get all irritable and disagreeable? Personal tragedy is one thing, I come on here because life is generally grim and upsetting and I want a bit of escapism and light relief, to step outside the oppressive realitires of my own situation.

I appreciate that you may not wish to do the same, but really there is no point in getting all angry and falling out wiht people. Life is grim enough.

is this a good time to bring back Lovebombs Shirley?

I'll laugh at the woman getting ratarsed at lunchtime. Because ive been there on more than one occasion. tries to forget the time she got into a fight with two serbian businessmen after having several glasses on empty stomach I dont have any problems. Someone getting squiffy at lunchtime does not automatically equal a problem, more than likely she drank on empty stomach and has low tolerance to alcohol!

Love your links, Buppy. god those wiggles are weird. Although hey, I'm a potato what do I know?

I only said she was large because she did eat a truly astonishing amount and you'd have thought it would have sucked up some of the booze.

Hullys DH on MN: "AIBU to expect my DW to be little more than a sack of potatoes in bed"

Everyone else: "Eh, she is a potato...."

No Vampires. I don't love aNY OF THE NEW FUCKERS

Sue - that just gave me Barbara Bush

Oh HAI Shirley. I ain't seen you abowt n shit.

at Sue's potato cock and balls.

vampires.
"My DW won't 'chip in' for anything!

Anyway, I must off out. I would like to apologise in advance to any newcomers to this thread for anything I may have done at any time and remind them that I am just Lady Balfour at best.

no buppy, I've not been around much lately. Been too busy getting pissed at lunchtime.

Barbara Bush? It was a potato cock. Easily confused, granted.

I hope you are not getting fat at lunch time too, Shirley. Or else you never know, you might find yourself the subject of a thread started by HullyGully.

The attitude displayed here makes me sick, thats why. If people woke up to how destructive texcessive drinking is and didnt treat it like a big joke a lot of peoples life would be less grim. Add that to the fawning and giggling and the lay of the famous hully twattery, its enough to piss anyone off. So does the cracks about newcomers because you personallt dont recognise them. Ive been here for years which is starting to feel like far too long.

I've just been given a memo by HQ

aaah!

Oi, Hully, You're a right nobber and you look like blowfish.

I hate this attitude to alcoholism. The partner was their if he is happy to enable this behaviour, then Hully cannot stop it it. Alcoholism of any variety is a horrible illness and like other illnesses cannot be cured by someone walking up and going "I say all chap, want to give the liver a break and be like normal people and stop a one bottle a day?"

I'd love it if Hully had this power, but she doesn't.

The problem is Clarence, that you are mistaking me for someone who gives a shit. I was joking about hating the newcomers - please get a grip.

Clarence and Agent - it is one thing to laugh at someone whose life is ruined by alcoholism, but quite another to have a lighthearted thread about someone who got drunk and nearly dunked her face in her dinner.

You have presumed this poor woman is a raving alcoholic when in fact she may just enjoy going out on the odd occasion and getting ratarsed. After all how many of us now we have children get the chance to escape from them and how many nearly always drink way too much when that chance comes up?

It's not on to presume that people are alcoholics.
Nor is it on to presume that those who find their drunken antics funny are all uncaring and selfish bastards. Hully has had her own experiences and is actually a very caring Mumsnetter, which is why she has so many people coming to her defence, because she is well thought of and has helped many other people with her sound advice.

This was not a "point and laugh at the alcoholic" thread. It's having a laugh at the stupid and silly things we do whilst pissed.
I'm sure the women in question would be more mortified that people could think she was an alcoholic than to be concerned about people laughing at her behaviour.

Think we need a whole new thread for the snot sucking stuff - holy potato chip! I really did love my kids when they were babies, but nothing, nothing would have made me suck their bogies.
I'm wondering what I'd have done. I certainly wouldn't have thought she was an alcoholic - but I'd have probably said something. I'm rubbish at keeping my trap shut. I'd have outed that elephant.

Fecking cliquey bjitches, the lot of you.
