Good point well made. I'll just sit on you then.

That sounds better when your missus says it.

I don't feel like running would be a good idea for you. All those aches and pains of yours after all.

I'd still give you a run for your money you zygote.

You talk like a middle-aged late forties type, and you look like one too!

Boy you catch on quick.

And what of it?

You're only 34?!

You're only 34?!

I have to concur with my honourable friend here: you're only 34?!?!?

Good grief, we may have stumbled on the reason why. For God's sake man, ditch the trouble, the screaming brats, cash in the house, get yourself a Thai bride and jet off to the Maldives and quaff fresh coconut juice, gallons of rum cocktails, intravenous BBQ'd lobster and as much ladies and gentleman as your pizza coated contractor heart can muster.

You'll be a new man.

Or after two weeks of paradise and coitus: another cardiac victim.

You my friend speak from experience

FTFY

It's because you have three kids and another on the way. You're all making yourself miserable.

Why not just run away from your responsibilities and live on a Kibbutz in Israel selling sexual favours to lonely Jewish backpackers as you've always dreamed.

You my friend are a visionary

The criteria is wider than that I'm afraid. I'm grumpy at home too.

Based on those criteria I've always been a grumpy old twat. Or perhaps my parents did a better job than they thought?

My advice would be to be overly polite to the offender. It may be wasted on the offender, but it won't be lost on the other people around who will start sniggering at them.

This is what I am now tagged as. And I've noticed it over the years. No longer happy go lucky, no longer carefree.

Asda annoys me. People bashing their trolleys into mine as they are not looking where they are going. People in general. Ignorance and bad manners.

I know SY02's dad (Grampa) is grumpy, he's allowed to be, as he's pushing 60. But at the tender age of 34 should I really be this bad?

Sometimes I just need peace and quiet, a glass of wine and a good book. Not condusive when you have 3 kids running around.

Bit worried I'm turning into a grumpy old twat.

Advice please.

I've just come back from a village fete where I failed to win any coconuts on the coconut shy.
I burst into tears and the little old lady with a steely glare took pity on me
'Oh have one then' she smiled, knowing she had made a special person very happy.

[MarillionFan]

Punch people that do that hard in the face. Twice. They won't do it again and will be alot more courteous in future. Keep doing this every day if need be.

What my bitch says.

You need to stamp your authority on things. I mean, I've just come back from a village fete where I won three coconuts on the coconut shy with just six balls.

'The maximum win is two coconuts per go' said the little old lady with a steely glare.

I glared back, looked back at the family, two kids, one adult, looked back at the old lady with a steely glare and she crumbled

'Oh have three then' she conceded, beaten, broken, close to tears.

You have to let people know who's boss.
