Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Ok, some background info - I'm in Germany, DP is German and apparently Germany are doing quite well in this Euro thingummy footie competition.

But I HATE it, it's STUPID!! They set off fireworks after every goal and at the end of the match, thus I am stuck in the house with a terrified dog who is desperately trying to hide behind me and shaking uncontrollably with fear. I've got bloody Randy Newman on full volume but this does appear to be helping DDog.

DP has buggered off to watch it with all his mates. Again. Last time he got in at 2am utterly spannered and I had to get up (14 weeks pg), help him get undressed, put him to bed on the sofa and get a bucket.

He promised he'd be back half an hour ago - he was staying out a bit longer to "keep an eye on his dad", well his dad got in ages ago and is now in bed, but no sign of DP.

DP will snore like a freight train, to which I usually kick him out of bed onto the sofa bed, but his parents are staying on that tonight so I'll have to spend the night listening to him grunting and snuffling except a million times louder....

AIBU to hate football?
WIBU to make DP sleep in the bathtub?

He's back. Not in a bad state, but will definitely snore :(

Could have been worse....

YANBU about the fireworks or about DH getting trolleyed but YABU about football. It's not the game's fault! Personally I'd lock the doors and take the dog to bed with me. No way would I be putting up with DH coming home that pissed.

And creative, sod off! We're not all thugs! Grin

Fair enough Graham, - generalising is bound to create exceptions. Men are physically stronger than women - generally yes. There are more fights over football than rugby - generally yes. etc...

I am sure you are a true gent.

GrahamTribe · 22/06/2012 23:51

A gent! Shock I'm not even a laydeee, creative!

UANBU
It makes people behave like total jerks!

This stupid football nonsense is happening during Wimbledon.

This means 5 live radio will keep prattling on about football, when they should be commentating on tennisAngry

creativepebble · 22/06/2012 23:57

Well, whatever you are now, I'm very confused.. enjoy the rest of the football! Wink

creativepebble · 22/06/2012 23:58

that was for Graham, not Star...

I is a woman with a guy's username, creative. :)

Graham: And I is clearly needing to learn non-judgmental behaviour! Blush Smile

YAbu.

Hope that helps.

What else are you supposed to do with summer if there isn't an international tournament I ask you.

Last year was endless!
