What did you get for fathers day?

[MarillionFan]

And so this is life for the modern man. We get to help out with the previously female only tasks like cleaning, cooking, washing, feeding the kids etc but then soon as the lawn needs mowing or one of the gadgets breaks or the car needs servicing or washing, it's a "man's job" and her indoors is suddenly incapable of keeping up.

Same goes for Fathers Day. On Mothers Day the women all expect a "day off" starting with breakfast in bed, with flowers and handmade cards from the kids.

On Father's day we get to cook the family breakfast and lunch and then do the dishes, empty the bins, drag the old broken washing machine to the curb then order a new one online, vacuum the mess the kids made during lunch and only now get to post to CUK. Or is that only my experience today?

On Mothers Day, the missus expected brekkie in bed, flowers, cards, the kids to be on their best behaviour. I cooked dinner, tea, put the kids to bed and heaven forbid she even wanted sex (once a year on her birthday is enough).

I got up to find I had to walk the dog, before going to Costco, coming home cooking some lunch for the kids as the missus had fecked off to a local fete. She then grudignly cooked a slap up 'Scampi & Chips' before I did the dishes & tidied the house. I've just told her she can walk the dog & put the kids to bed, I'm going to the pub for a pint and a blow job from the barmaid.

I have three sons so a Bottle of Scotch, a large Toblerone and a box of Thornton's.
The Chocolate was then generously shared out whilst we all watched the F1 race and the closing laps of LeMans

I got a pair of black socks in the bottom of a pint glass, topped off with a white handkerchief to create the effect of an inexpertly pulled pint of Guinness. I've not decided yet whether this is a great piece of imaginative artwork, or a massive cop out referencing the only two safe dad interests applicable to all men (wearing socks and getting pissed up).

To be fair, a pair of socks and a hanky would probably have tasted better than these pints of tulipe you used to drink

Socks and a hanky.... probably a cryptic way for his kids to tell him he's a winker.

Even by Oliver Reed's standards, that's impressive.

for some reason the missus always seems to go the extra mile on Fathers day - maybe it is cos she likes to call me daddy....
