Does she post here/know tha t you do? If so might not be a good idea to talk about her.
(Pookie Bear had some very shiny foez, Wed 16 Oct 2013, 7:52, Reply)

She's no idea about this place or I'd have been fucked right up a long time ago.
I may have said that the only way our daughter will inherit anything from her side of the family is if her builder dad has managed to nick enough bricks from work to build her a house. I may also have described her most recent boyfriend as 'a middle-aged, washed up alcoholic cyclist who plays MP3s of middle-of-the-road dance music to children' and accused her of 'hanging around Shoreditch like a past it loser looking for some other poor twat to bankroll your pitiful existence'.

That kind of thing. In my (puny) defence these were all reactions to infinitely worse things said to me, but I lost my cool and this is bad.

I done fucked up.
It all came from me telling her (genuinely nicely and politely) that I was worried that she hadn't scaled down her expectations since splitting up from her (very wealthy and high-spending) ex earlier this year, and that being a cunt to me about extra money for school uniform when I've picked my kid up from restaurants three times in the past month, and her recent party outfit was from Monsoon, is a bit much given how poor I am.

Morning Pookie
Ugh, I have woken up with a really fucking sore back, just what I wanted. Did a pub quiz last night, managed to get some people really annoyed with some questions, was very funny.

Thankfully I don't have kids yet, so this isn't too much of an issue.

Alt: It's not too bad here. I'm not a fan of daylight savings in the winter, but the first Monday after the clocks change in March, when you leave work and it's still light, I don't mind it too much then.

Harsh
I used to do a quiz where the pub owner wrote it, and he used to deliberately put in questions that had multiple answers and then only accept the ones he liked. Also, a series of increasingly odd questions including my favourite "If Istanbul was Constantinople and Iraq was Mesopotamia, what was Iceland?"

He said he did it to stop "professional" quiz teams turning up and winning every week. Which was reasonable, if a little odd.
