Fuck off with your fucking balloons

330 replies

MaryofMislethwaiteManor · 15/12/2018 11:13

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.

This is fantastic.

I'd be going just for the Chinese buffet to be fair.

Won't it be worth it for the food?

Is he known as the Scottish child?Grin

GhostSauce · 15/12/2018 12:48

God, what if he gets involved in the theatre world? Everyone will have to refer to him as "The Scottish Play". He'll be terrible luck.

NaughtToThreeSadOnions · 15/12/2018 12:48

Well i hope little Mac doesnt go in to any theatre ever! Can you imagine if he wants a career in acting???

waitingforyouu · 15/12/2018 12:51

Yes, you have to go! I know belittling people to their face is much more scary than doing it anonymously online, but it's more dramatic too! Do it!

Pavlova31 · 15/12/2018 12:51

Yes certainly Classics if this carries on Grin

Please please post updates.
I want to hear what his parents got him for his birthday.
And think about the food- that’s hangover bracing.

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!

ChesterGreySideboard · 15/12/2018 12:56

Oh lord.

So hold on. They are only having one child for environmental reasons, and I applaud them for that, but then they blow up 500 balloons?

Please live blog this trash fire.

Oh and fuck off to the far side of fuck Daily Mail of you think about printing this.

DwayneDibbly · 15/12/2018 12:57

Blatantly placemarking. Thank you, OP; I'm nursing my own slight hangover and this has cheered me up enormously. And made me want a takeaway.

Have a runny egg, soak in the bath, power nap and get ready to go to party. It's a chinese buffet. You can't not go! 😱

Hoopaloop · 15/12/2018 12:59

You'll be glad to pay a quid for the air in each balloon in 30 years.

Every single time I hear MacBeth mentioned I think of the black adder sketch.

CurlsandCurves · 15/12/2018 13:46

OP, please at some point just casually pass on Efferlunt s comment about only having one child for environmental reasons and yet 500 balloons for a 2 year olds party is totally fine?

I’d love to hear their response 😆😆😆
