Dad stories
"Do anything good for your birthday?" one of your friendly B3TA moderator team asked in one of those father/son phone calls that last two minutes. "Yep," he said, "Your mum." Tell us about dads, lack of dad and being a dad.

Local knowledge
My parents have holidayed in the same Spanish resort on and off for about 14 years. They like it, so hey ho. This means they know the place well and my Dad always likes to demonstrate his local knowledge by pointing things out to me when I visit them. He has kind of run out of interesting things to point out over time, but this doesn´t seem to bother him in the slightest.
One night, walking back from having a few beers, he pointed across the street:
"See that bin?"
"Yeah"
(Proudly) "I´ve used that bin"
Fucking revelatory....
He also tries to show off his knowledge of Indian food when ordering in restaurants. His request for Prawn Tikka, on the bone went down in family legend.
