My grotty little nephew did put a fart machine under my seat the other day. Needless to say I gave him a good beating when nobody was looking.

Do we allow people on these forums with poor people in their family?

Astounding, isn't it, how two siblings can have such differing fortunes. Like Esau and Jacob, or AtW and Maria Sharapova.
Is she fit, your sister in law? Any pictures?

So I fired up the landy, whisked him off to Newquay Airport and took him to Euro Disney. Upon our return, I bought him a Scaletrix, a Rockhopper mountain bike and an XBox 360.
I can't work out whose sockie you are, but this is a slight improvement on the usual dross.

The fact of the matter is that I am Walter Mitty.
Anyway, is she a little hottie ? Are you trying to do a Ryan Giggs ?

Yep, try the tactful way out, check the lottery numbers on Saturday night, bung the equivalent of the 5 number prize in said envelope, stick it in yr Bro's back pocket and tell him to let on he got 5 up on the lottery.Originally posted by pacharan View PostJust had a very upsetting call from my sister in law regarding my relationship with my little nephew.

Now the cheeky cow says I've driven a wedge through the family as all little Saul wants to do is hang out with his Uncle Pacha. Some bloody gratitude that is.
The fact of the matter is that I am a very wealthy man and I feel it is my duty to extend my munificence to my kith and kin. Blood is thicker than water after all.
I was planning on taking him to Digger World this weekend followed by an afternoon driving carties at Hale Sands.
She has requested that I stay away as my brother is feeling inadequate. Not really sure how to handle this but I'm tempted to go down anyway, stick a load of lolly, say 2 grand, in an envelope thrust it into his top pocket and tell him to go and fill his boots.
Anyone here been in this delicate predicament before?
If he pees it up the wall or she turns up in 5 new pairs of gucci shoes, you'll know not to do it again.

Not that particular one no. But similar family tensions due to my father in law's incontinent sh***ing dog regularly leaving turds on my carpets on Christmas mornings. Thankfully it is now departed.Originally posted by pacharan View PostAnyone here been in this delicate predicament before?
Families eh, don't you just love them!
