As I mentioned earlier, today is my 6th wedding anniversary. Do you celebrate anniversaries/birthdays or just let them slide past?
Best/Worst meals out? I'm off here this evening for some top scran

But your rap outburst earlier means I'm currently belatedly celebrating the 25th birthday of Paul's Boutique.

We both feel that celebrating anniversaries if you're not married is a bit stupid. I still get her some flowers or something, though; unmarried anniversaries might be a bit stupid, but I'm not.

my friend told me to buy a big bunch of flowers for her fiance for his 40th. she did add that she is sure he is gay.
when i gave them to him, he said, "i'm not gay."
i said i had bought pink ones, just in case. and 2 bottles of wine.

I love having flowers in the house. I buy them myself quite often. The upside to my dad dying was that I recieved a beautiful bouquet from my auntie.

The only friend I have that's currently married had been with his missus about 4 years, I think. Around the two-year mark she'd told him when and where he had to propose, and then how long after that the wedding would be.
We all ripped the piss out of him for being a great big wetty.

one of my former colleagues created a pinterest page so that her pussywhipped fiance could see how to do it. she had a photograph of the ring, the bridge in paris with the padlocks, the works. ridiculous. where's the fun or spontaneity in that?
i lol'd when the bridge collapsed.

That sort of thing just wouldn't work with me. My main motivation to do anything ever is to get it done before I get pestered about it. If you pester me regardless then I just don't bother.

And we wouldn't have to repeat ourselves if you'd just do what you're fucking told in the first place.
I find that communicating the urgency or otherwise of a request helps. If you ask for something to be done, but don't specify it needs to be done within a certain timeframe, it tends to get added to the *end* of a list. Most of the time, and I know I'm generalising wildly, men appreciate having all the facts.
Men are shit at mind reading. Even Derren Brown. I bet Derren Brown's wife is sick of telling him shit.

I actually don't 'tell' me b3th to do things. I ask. With a 'please' and everything. Then if it doesn't get done I assume he has forgotten or has some other reason why he can't do it, and I do it myself. Apparently it's what grown-ups do, or something.

At the time it was important to us to be married before we had any, so we waited. We now realise it means absolutely nothing.

Anniversary - Mrs V and I have two - when we met and when we married. They're a week apart.
We give that much of a toss that a couple of years ago we were working on something, and I looked at the date and suddenly said "Oh! It's our wedding anniversary!". We kissed quickly, and carried on working.
Mrs V LOVES Christmas, though. LOVES it.

my brother's kids are lovely, but they aren't yet old enough to be polite about things. so last year my dad spent an absolute fortune on pantomime tickets for everyone. at the interval, my nephew announced: "there are 8 exit signs in this theatre..."
his sister, on the other hand, demanded that they "play it again" when it finished, so at least one of them emjoyed it!

Year 14 or marriage is coming up so it'll probably be low key this year and something special next year. What with 15 being such a special number and all. I guess. She wants to go to Venice so we might do that. I really don't give a fuck so long as I get some decent food, wine and bi-annual sexehtimes.

It's all good.
Alt: Monday was a contender for the worst, housemate and I went to Revolution for some cheap food, we were told it was a half hour wait. Turned out being an hour, although it was tasty. We asked for the bill, 20 minutes later no sign of that. The staff were being run ragged, it was a bit of a pisstake. Spoke to someone at the bar, turned out they'd had 1 chef and about 3 waitresses walk out the day before, so they were fucked. Ah well, getting a free meal and a few drinks out of that.
Best meal was either the steak place a few months back, or the Lebanese restaurant we went to at Christmas, the food was incredible.

This September will be fifteen years since we met, and next March will be fifteen years since I moved down here.
I'm good at remembering anniversaries and birthdays, but I can't see a need for making a huge fuss. The last thing most married couples need is more shit to clutter up a house.
In other news, I've got a double shift at work today, and I'm fighting off a migraine. This is shit.

Girlfriend and boyfriend don't. Oh I've been fucking you for a year, have a card. I've been married 7 years and remember my anniversary. I don't however remember the month, let alone the day we officially became a couple. I can't remember the rules, is it first kiss or first fuck? I'm far to old to have made it official by saying "Will you be my girlfriend" Or "Will you go out with me"

Bock is a strong lager of German origin. Several substyles exist, including maibock (helles bock, heller bock), a paler, more hopped version generally made for consumption at spring festivals; doppelbock (double bock), a stronger and maltier version; and eisbock, a much stronger version made by partially freezing the beer and removing the ice that forms.
