to think that the women at the bowling club could heat up the pies? (if your Dad used MN)

[MmeLindor.]

I buy the pies and beans and bring them to the bowling club. All they have to do is heat the pies and beans up and serve them and put them out. They are refusing because they, "Don't do hot food" and they never have.

If I want them to heat up the pies, then I have to ask the President of the Bowling Club to take it to the committee and vote on it, but that wouldn't work cause it is Harry's wife who is most against it and he is on the committee. No way would he vote against Irene, she'd have his guts for garters.

They said that corned beef and salad has always been good enough for the lads.

And another thing (don't want to drip feed), AIBU to think that the wife should sew my badge on my blazer?

Oh, and another thing.

If they won't heat up the pies, AIBU to ask them to turn the Daniel O'Donnell cassette down while they are rolling up the corned beef and making flowers out of the tomatoes?

If you want the pies heated, you need to get yourself on the catering committee with some like minded people.

You probably won't be able to because they probably like doing it themselves and won't want you interfering. Similarly if they are doing the work, they will want music to their taste while they do it.

My DP does occasionally sew a button on for me. If she wanted to come over all unisex I might not change the oil in her car. I don't know. Do you and DP have R&Rs defined in some way?

R&Rs - what is that?

I am on the catering committee. My Daughter calls me the F&B manager, but I have no idea what that means. Don't understand half of what she says, twitter, and bookface and all sorts of stuff.

Roles and Responsibilities

Have you and DP agreed in some way that you will always do certain jobs, such as the flower arranging and cleaning the oven, and she will always do certain jobs, for example mowing the lawn and preparing sunday lunch? Or do you take it in turns? Is the problem that you have not yet learned how to use a needle and thread, or is it that you and DP do not agree on the division of responsibilities?

If the catering committe is not able to decide what the food will be, what is it for? If you offended the people who prepare the food, and they resign, who would do it instead?

Mme - I am a long-standing admirer of yours, and am impressed by your important work of late.

So I am slightly confounded about 'heating pies'. I am fearing a complex analogy for something more sinister and 'knowing' beyond my ken. I will be watching closely. [watching closely emocion]

Piglet - Mme is a woman, of beauty and fragrance. And is a serious blogger. (V. serious blogger. For effect).

Why do you want his wife to sew your badge on?

yes, but she's playing the part of an imaginary Dad here.

How do you know what she smells like?

I think she means food and beverage manager....?!

PJ - I got the Dad bit..then forgot it.

I think Mme is reflecting a discussion with her dad - she is the F&B manager ( of which I have no knowledge either).

Stil l think there is a sinister analogy in operation here.[still watching closely emocion]

Indeed, but what does sewing on his badge have to do with anything.

I think it's just a piece of symbolism, DB.

Piglet
I am happy to cook Sunday lunch - but flowers arranging? Whit???

Roles and Responsibilities. We call them Blue Jobs and Pink Jobs.

The wife is a dab hand with the needle and thread. But she is too busy with her damned Zumba classes at the moment to sew on badges.

Aye, the wee lass has one of them blog things. And hang ON a wee minute. Yon Pan fella - how does he ken how my lass smells?

No no, I am the F&B manager, not the lass.

She cries me that. I havnae a clue whit it means.

Ach awa. Ahm bletherin in Scots now wi ye all.

Do ye ken whit ah mean at all?

I'm clearly too stupid tired for this.

I was actually going to say blue jobs and pink jobs in an earlier post

aye wee lassie we do - no need fer yer greet'n.

The only real injustice here is the implication that the Daniel O'Donnell cassette should be turned down - the very idea!

Next thing you'll be wanting to take down the shrine with the fairylights to Wee Daniel.

Ahve told them that if they dust it, I don't mind the fairy lights. Its no very hygenic though and as certified H&S officer I should really insist on it.

Just as well I have my First Aider certificate.

I think your daughter is very unreasonable. You should give her a good skelping.
