To think this is my job, not dh's mates.

Dh has been faffing about what he wants to do for his birthday on Saturday for weeks. Yesterday he finally decided he just wanted to go down the local.

He's a bit disappointed because half the pub had already made plans to go to a boxing match, so once he was asleep I sent out a fb invite to loads of our friends saying I knew it was short notice but if they could make it that's where we'd be.

Then I got the following messages from dh's best mate. Who is a twat

Hi ya
As far as Saturday goes we're on the same page
I thought also that xxx would want people to pop in n see him for his birthday so I did the same
Assuming you would be by his side and so he didn't find out I didn't tell you
Hope that's not too imposing ? But just wanted you guys to turn up and people be out for him
Iv sorted a little cake balloons banners but also put a little gentle twist on his decor too
Really hope you don't mind and glad we're both on the same page or wave length x

Is it me or is that overstepping the boundaries a bit?

Erm he sounds like a really kind and caring friend lol

Oh no I'm sorry I posted without realising there was a whole thread load of pages!! You have my sympathy his mate is a bit of a twat yes!!

I'm laid up with a flu thing and I've just hurt myself hacking laughing at that poster on the van.

But didn't he want to keep the poster? What a great reminder

Oh dear god, the poster
I do love your threads though Keith

Loving their work of sticking the poster to Pricks can. Serves him bloody right for trying to be so funny. Others obviously thought the poster was weird too.

OMG - what the fuck was Prick thinking? I hope it has wrecked his van & your DH doesn't pay. That would totally serve him right!

I hope this whole episode of fuckwittery wakes your DH up as to what a complete bellend this guy is.

But I'm not holding my breath given the IVF & patio furniture episodes did not :(

Considering he sold your patio furniture, I'd call it even.

Considering he sold your patio furniture, I'd call it even.

I agree. Tell him he can take it off what he owes you for the furniture.

It was sticky backed already. They peeled it off the pub wall and stick it to his van instead.

Definitely call it even for the loss of the patio furniture. As he knows, everyone makes mistakes and friends let it go and move on!

Hopefully he'll let go of DH!

I've only just found this thread and skim read it.

Oh Keith, it had to be you didn't it

You'd bloody better be at the meet up, this is comedy gold and I bet there will be more to it by then (hope the respray isn't too expensive though).

Hey married!

Yes I will be there. Looking forward to it. Not long now.

That poster really is the stuff of nightmares- what was he thinking? And why the fuck would he want to keep it?

Make sure that there really is damage before dh pays out. Wouldn't put it past him to try to screw you over.

When's the meet up?! and why wasn't I invited?!!!!

1st of April, and everyone is invited! I will find the thread and bump it for you.

This thread just keeps on giving!
I'd tell him your even - he sold your furniture, you fucked his van. I probably wouldn't, I'd pay, but still.

Did you get the money for the furniture? If NOT then I really think you and DH need to discuss it and the payout for the van.

I know your DH sees the best in people and that is really commendable but I'm sure he doesn't want to be known as a walkover/doormat too

Did he ever pay you back (the original price, not sale price) of the patio stuff?

Dh is going to have a look at the van tomorrow. I doubt it is damaged tbh.

Never received any money for the patio set, just got given the one he had got mine 'mixed up' with.

Fucking well done CTK on making DotD.

That poster is SO funny (sorry to be crossing over from FB to MN, I know it's not really the done thing). And weird. I would be like

Can't believe I am missing the bloody meet up

Glad MrCTK had fun though, hope you all did!
