Well not really that offended. A little taken aback. Too tired for actual offense.

So, Dp has a friend he hasn't seen for a couple of years come to stay. They were flat mates before i met dp, they have lots and lots of hilarious anecdotes that are mostly about special brew, falling asleep in skips, Ralph Maggio, stuff like that.

Lovely dinner tonight - but children a little excited. dd1 did talk about bogeys, was was a bit loud, and bossy. DD2 did prance through wearing my bra, while dd1 lay on the floor giggling hysterically, and then farted.

Apart from that it was going well, until he looked at me and said 'don't worry, i'm a teacher, i'm used to appalling children with parents who can't control them'.

I laughed. He didn't, he was really serious. They're only 2 and 5, they're just a bit noisy and giggly. And they think 'poo on my head' is a really really funny joke.

Are people going to come and tell me to get a grip and some perspective now then?

what a complete arse

agree the whole single freinds and new families is not a good mix.

Nex ttime they can go camping or to Amsterdam or Europa Parks and you can eat beans on toast and watch what you want on telly.

I am giggling about Boco's DD. I'm 25 and if I were giggling and farted, I'd be in fits of giggles afterwards. Human nature. Like how you laugh when somebody falls over when you know they probably haven't hurt themselves.

Boco · 11/08/2007 00:12

Yes. That was me.

Anyone want to come and stay in the country? It's great, i'm a wonderful host?

Oh God. My friends are mostly childless, they just end up traumatised by a weekend here, i really want them to have a lovely time and be charmed by my beautiful children.

Pan - take the cheesecake, it's yours.

BTW Boco - you know those posts where people have just put "what a knob" etc. I think they are referring to you and your thread - infact 'tis LL on a name change rampage.

ELF1981 · 11/08/2007 00:14

Boco, I'd stay with you!

I'd be grateful of the cheesecake and I regularly get nits off my cousin who seems constantly infected with them, so one more time wouldn't matter!!

Cheesecake all round then. But none for BBBee because i'm unsure if she's calling me a knob. She can wash up. And fgs, control those children for me will you?

keep it chilled, please....

VeniVidiVickiQV · 11/08/2007 00:20

oh please ask him about his teaching, and why he got intot it, and then make a crass comment in passing wondering about how "all male teachers must be paedo's, elsewise, why else would they do it?"

I think that's it. You want them to be charmed by them, they will only be charmed if they are quiet, smile sweetly and then go play nicely in their bedroom.

Oh well. You'll be great to visit when they've had a baby or two, they'll all want to be there then.

Is a strain. Eat cheesecake.

unknownrebelbang · 11/08/2007 00:23

Boco, I would lurve a stay in the country, lol.

(that thread about your friend tickled me).

VVVQV, that's a bit harsh, even for a nob!

I think "poo on my head" is hilarious and I'm 25.

Tell him to chill to feck out and join in.

WideWebWitch · 11/08/2007 08:42

What a wanker. Only read your OP but hoep that's what everyone else said. Bet he doesn't have his OWN children does he?
