Right, who owns this one?

Got to be AussieSchlong

No doubt he blows a monkey every week

I don't think so, I just think the other bloke is hairy

He does a pony some weekends.

feeding the pony?

I assume you mean millions.

I hope you're a sockie. But I guess either way you're a bit of a twat

I'm glad you said that.


Rather, I'm glad YOU said that. Reassuring.

Which bit?

[MaryPoppins]

To be honest mate, though out of principle I shouldn't agree with you getting preference, I sort of do at heart. I tuck away close to three bigguns every month, and still have plenty left for to take my brother and his family out, taxi his wife and kids home, then Sambuca shots more weekends than not. Those nephews/nieces I love but I know what a burden they are. But even if I were married/kids I'd STILL go contracting if possible.


And no, I'm PROUD of being single. I'm proud of still being able to pass as 20-something on a good day. I'm NEVER hiding my footloose badge of honour.

**** off, we don't want him!

Bridgwater it is, then.

Would be interesting to see what the Dad's on here think about using family as a bargaining chip for sympathy .

I'm not a dad but I made up that I had a son to meet women, I called him Jake. I even went as far as going to a single parent meeting. How sad eh.

Anyway, I eventually pseudo adopted this child from a nutter women who tried to commit suicide, he kept coming round to my flat. I was always in because I live off the royalties to my late Dad's Xmas song.

I met this lovely women, she's in TV but because I do nothing she found me vacant anyway I said that Jake my son was taking up my free time, we bonded as she had a child.

Anyway to cut to the chase I ended up playing Guitar at "jakes" talent thing and this women fell in love with me and everyone moved into my small flat and took the mickey out of my old fashioned trainers. How we laughed.

I thought perhaps tucking away a biggun was something AusslieLong would know about.

[psychocandy]

"I tuck away close to three bigguns every month"

Is that code?

I tuck away a biggun in my trousers....

(brings more meaning to the phrase - willy waver)

An interesting thought – I have experienced the reverse: during interviews I get it in to the conversation that I have no kids & no plans to have any.

Give it another 10 years & I won’t have to worry any more

Companies seem to hold to the view that a woman will always disappear to have kids & maternity pay / leave is a (unmentioned) consideration.

Can't say it's something major I've noticed in the workplace. Some people take the piss, but some people always do - I see no correlation with family or not.

I suspect many of your workplace issues stem from the fact nobody likes you.

[SimonMac]

You guys are so lucky if he hasn't.

Can't we send him up North to you? Like to the Orkney Islands - one of the uninhabited ones.

**** off, we don't want him!
