Ok so being the romantic soul that I am, Mrs Gonzo and I will be of to Paris shortly as part of the good womans birthday celebrations. A wonderful time will be had visiting the many attractions, bistros and bars it is something that she is very much looking forward to especially as we have 3 kids who are lets say quite challenging at times. So now the help part, how do I get round the fact (and I mean fact as it will happen regardless) that I will be sat with a watching Liverpool play Man City on the Sunday while in Paris? So once again get your excuses out/thinking caps on, how do I do this without the good woman assaulting me or sulking, crying because I'm a selfish batard who does **** all but watch footy. Your help as with the nuts thread is fully appreciated.
If you're taking her to Paris the least you deserve is a couple of hours watching the game If she says no....take someone else
Turn off all social media, don't go on net, listen to radio or any fn thing. Record the damned game and watch it on your return End of.....
That would work over here as I don't do shopping but cant see her wanting to go off on her own I'd end up having to go with.
Paris?!!! Take her to Blackpool You mods get paid to much P.S Paris is very expensive so dont let her shop without you!
Just tell her you're watching it and that's that- have some balls man.... Oh, hang on...... Anyways, if she doesn't understand your priorities by now then you've been doing it wrong all these years. You should have told her when you met her "I love you madly and would do anything for you (fight dragons, walk over hot coals, have me knackers off, etc etc) but just don't come between me and the bloody match".
Hmmm.......Ok.......different angle required. Ok,your dear lady wife obviously knows your a big LFC supporter,so you cannot possibly miss this game. Spend a little time beforehand checking out a decent bar/cafe to watch the game.My experience of these places is extensive,and the french are a really freindly bunch who will take the two of you to their hearts in no time. Let the beer flow and the two hours or so will fly by. You can't miss this game Gonz,its massive
To be fair I did say in the OP that I will be waching it with us being in Paris I just don't want her getting pissed off. She usually just lets me get on with it when it comes to Liverpool games I just get the feeling she may not be her usual reasonable-ish self on this occasion.
Tell her you won a competition to print a message on Mingolet, our star strikers vest for him to reveal should he score
Missing it is not an option. Research the bars find somewhere really nice that has the game on sounds like a starter.
Tell her you have some bad news for her and follow it by telling her you fake having the snip. When she gets angry you can say "only joking, I'm watching the game on Sunday". It will seem like goods news in comparison
