    Just reading one of the threads on here and it seems I'm not unique after all.

    Just over a year ago there was a big family tiff - I'm still estranged from all but 2 members of my immediate family and have no plans changing that.

    What pissed you off? For you not to be in contact with your nearest and dearest?

    Aye, **** off then.

    All my family adore me because I'm a fun, handsome, interesting chap. I don't hate anyone from my family either, some people annoy me but that's about it.

    I think scottish people have a more complicated family life due to centuries of inbreeding <ok>

    I think one of the most offensive maxims the bourgeoisie ever invented whilst they were lolling about in their expensive homes was
    "You can choose your neighbours but you can't choose your family"

    Not if you're living on handouts in your fifteenth storey breeze block wardrobe.

    What if your neighbours are your family?
    Hope this is helpful.

    I don't bother with my family that much. Prefer the company of my imaginary friends.

    Friends are God's apology for family.

    My family are alright, they go to the pub, gamble and **** - like normal people. Her family are a bunch of ****s, they don't go to the pub, gamble and I wouldn't like to think they ****. I made the mistake of once going on holiday with her family - about two weeks in, in the arsehole of nowhere in Ontario, I ended up leaving the motel and walking about 5 miles to find a pub, where I swiftly got drunk by myself. Imagine going on holiday for 3 weeks and not visiting a single ****ing pub!?

    My brother's new wife is a fat ugly mess who lies her way through most situations. He beileved her rather than me about something my wife is supposed to have done (which she did'nt), so **** him and his fat munter of a missus.

    He spies on them because he's not normal, that's why they disowned him.

    Yes, everybody watches their family ****. Don't they? Maybe it's a Catholic thing.

    Being 'outside' the family circle now, it's amazing the things I've found out about them, well, some of them.

    I only wish I had known before and I could have noised them up about it :laugh:

    If you think you get along with your siblings, wait until one of your parents dies and experience the horror show that takes place during probate!
