Free tea is important.

Alt: my father is making a right hash out of buying new furniture. Poor man. He's bought some right ugly sofas and got very upset when I pointed out they were the same colour as pond scum.

i feel his pain. my father allowed himself to decorate the family room.
it now has one red chinese paper feature wall, black leather sofa and massive black electric lazy boy thing, and a 50 inch 3D television. i see why my mother never let him near any kind of decorating.

is your dad's new pond weed at least comfortable?

My father seems to have the opposite problem,
In that now he is allowed to make his own decisions he seems to default to the sort of stuff you would see in a 70s DFS advert. He even said he thinks his TV is too big. He doesn't deserve all the money he earns.

I don't think I want any of your family near my family.
You know, being Northern an all.

good point
i don't want my dad to catch ginger from your dad. his hair is all silver, and therefore quite vulnerable.

I'd love that, all brown corduroy sofas and orange walls. Aw yeah.

Appropriately aged car to go with the decor.
All day, baby, all day.
