    Nothing

    Eldest and her boyfriend took me out to lunch, I paid. Eldest forgot to bring my present, no card, still not got either.

    Then picked youngest up from Coldplay concert at 11pm. In bed at midnight.

    Did get to watch the GP on my own though. No questions like "Why does that car go faster than that one? They both look the same."

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

    Possibly a bit too close to the truth to be funny mate

    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

    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?
    WHS

    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.

    Maybe both, I quite like the ingenuity.
