My father in law ran off with a Polish bird. Him and this bird rented a house off me for a period while they were getting on their feet - I ended up having to evict him because he stopped paying rent, which caused a bit of tension. We eventually made friends again (well my wife made friends, I didn't care) until he seen the list of guests at our wedding last year and demanded that we remove someone he didn't get on with (this person had squealed to my mother in law about his affair). After a bit of a debate we refused to remove this other guest and he therefore didn't attend his only daughter's wedding. He's the type of drama loving arsehole who tries to lure everyone else into pathetic squabbles - the type of person who posts a message on a shared friends Facebook having a sly dig at you, in some sort of effort to remind you that he still exists. It quite obviously doesn't affect me, I couldn't care if he fell down a hole, but it annoys my missus no end - the constant digs from someone who is supposed to be a 'father', but behaves like a child who hasn't got his own way. Anyway, have I got a point? Um... some fully grown people are pathetic.
I do listen. Well, when I say I listen I do "man listening". We look like we're paying attention and say "uh-huh" and "ok" and "I understand" from time to time.
Wimmin urny daft though. They catch on that yer no really listening and use it against ye later on by claiming you agreed to all sorts of ****.
Even worse when they start talking about their work. Like I give a **** what some other daft women in her office is wearing to a wedding of people I don't even know.
I've just thought how much weed and Slovak fanny I could've got for the money spunked on that ****ing cake. Beeling disnae cover it.
