I recently gave a very good girlfriends daughter a 14th birthday pressie - a trendy "Fendi" shoulder bag (OK,it was a jeckyl- but a fantastic snide all the same!)I know I'm a crusty old twat but my girlfriend is half my age so I'm not totally out of touch?I clocked her snide sideways glance when she unwrapped my gift and she opened the box! I was bought up correctly and so were my own kids so that when Auntie Win gave me a Blue Peter annual (last years) to me on my 16th birthday I came over genuinely happy as and a couple of days later scratched out a nice thankyou notelet.I sound like an old fart - just the man I promised myself I would never become? Next year I'm going to give her a dog turd nicely wrapped up in a shoebox
My ex Mrs always slaughtered me for voucher/cash in envelope thing! Always said it showed a lack of thought and imagination? So I try to think about what the person would really like? You can't win - I told my girlfriend about the spoilt kid turning her nose up and she said " why haven't you bought me a Fendi bag??? I rest my case your honour
So, you were 2 generations out of touch, not just the one. Don't beat yourself up about it, stay cool
Hahaha - bloody hell! Two generations? I never really thought about that? She probably just thinks I'm a silly old fart - I'm actually only 28 years old but trapped in this knackered old worn out shell
Some people are just ungrateful. Not buying the mother in law a birthday present this year. She still hasn't used the burial plot I bought her last year.
So you bought her a cheap knock off bag made to look like something 10x more expensive and you want her to say thanks
That's a coincidence? I'm a 12 year old girl called Kylie who loves Justin Bieber! But that's only when I go online
No I spent £7500 on a real bag from Fendi in Oxford street but told her it was Punch and Judy so she wouldn't be embarrassed
For Christmas I'm gonna buy her a Bugatti Veyron! They do some great kits based on a MK 4 Cortina with a Nissan Micra engine that are almost identical to the real thing? But I will get the proper thing for her and tell her it's a kit car.Maybe I can get it out onto a Q plate?
Clubbed up with my brothers to buy mum n dad £750 quids worth of holiday vouchers for an expensive weekend somewhere, 11 months later they said they'd have preferred cash! So I bought em back for £500.
Only jesting! I was reading an article in local rag at weekend about some scummy Nonce that was doing exactly that on chat rooms that school kids are always going on! WTF goes on in these nonces heads to do such a thing?He got jail time but nothing like as long a term as he should have and put on sex offenders list for life.The judge said it was maximum term he could give him as he hadn't met or molested a child? Just a matter of time before he did I'm thinking?They should chemically castrate filth like him like they do in USA as it takes away their urge to commit such awful acts.
yip. wories me when the kids use the computers. i have no idea how to work em so have no idea what their doing. i wont bog down this thread with this one tho. :smileys:
