Fuck off with your fucking balloons

Alright, hands up, I’m hungover to fuck from a big party last night (free bar and free food which no one was bloody well eating Hmm) and I have to go to a two year old’s party later (I might eat a very rare burger for lunch to try and get out of that, as last time I did that the world fell out of my bottom Blush)

But I’ve just seen on Facebook that they’re currently in the process of blowing up 500 FIVE HUNDRED balloons to fill the restaurant (yes, the two year old is having their party at 7pm in a restaurant Confused)

WHY? WHY??? Why would you just willy nilly leave 500 balloons floating around to just remain in a horrid wrinkly plastic shape for the next 1000 years, or blow away and just hang on a tree, or smother a bloody I don’t know, marlin in the sea? Why????????? And why would you spend your day blowing up 500 balloons???

Arghhhhhh it’s going to be such a long day.

I know two people called Adolph. They are Dutch, in thier 40s. It's a common name there.

No update from the OP? Hmm

Completely taking the thread off track, but this child’s name reminded me I met a baby called “Horatio” the other day. All I could think of was what the children at school are going to shorten it to!

Famous Sunderland player from the 1930s was called Raich Carter, shortened from Horatio. :)

A relative of mine decided that their DCs would go to bed when they were tired, aged 2 or 3, with similar results. I am disappointed they hadn't heard of the term "freesleeping" as they'd have used it no doubt and we could have sniggered.

Fortunately both their DCs are now fairly normal teenagers. One of them was told they were "square" by one of the parents recently.

Damn, I wish we had called DS Macbeth!
