If anything it's worse than being stressed about work myself
I can't stand feeling powerless to help her. Plus every time I see one of those Aviva adverts with Paul Whitehouse it makes me want to burn things

I know exactly what you mean
there is nothing you can do except be supportive. Doesn't always help much though.

Most adverts make me want to burn things.

Fair point
but I had previously found those adverts quite amusing. Now Aviva have ruined Whitehouse for me with their consistent bastardry towards the missus. And living in Norwich, there's very little escaping the immoral cunts.

Anyway. I know you're right, and I appreciate the empathy mate. It's like you say, there's only so much one can do and it's rarely sufficient. Sucks

you're welcome old son. It's a shit position to be in.

Hopefully things will improve, she's moving areas next week
How was your weekend anyway? Any sign of that giant ball of burning gas our planet allegedly revolves around down your way?

fingers crossed
my weekend fucking splendid thanks. Spent the evening with mates getting caned and played mariokart on friday.

Surf was pumping on saturday and the sun was blazing, so I'm actually looking a bit tanned for once. Played a gig in a local pub in the evening which was cracking. First outing for 4 brand new songs (only played them 2 or 3 times each before).

Did fuck all yesterday except make nice food and spend time with the mrs. Sun was beating down yesterday as well. Given my tiredness and hangover I almost passed out while cutting the grass it was so hot.

If you'd attempted to write an essay entitled "what kind of weekend would most throw into stark relief the arsey two days endured by Darth Foxtrot?"
I think it'd go something like that

In all seriousness, I'm very glad you had a good time, that's what weekends are supposed to be about. How are the wedding plans going? Let me know if you'd like lessons for your first dance

I can help with the first dance as well
it might be horribly inappropriate though.

I'll teach Vippers a romantic Waltz
You work your magic with Mrs V, and the results should at least be interesting

I actually may take you up on that
neither me or the mrs can dance for shit.

We're in a lull with the plans at the moment. We've booked the venue, planned the food etc. Mrs has bought a dress. The venue are taking car of a lot of stuff, so we don't have to.

I'm currently in a quandry over what we can afford honeymoonwise. At the moment it is looking like we could just about afford to spend two weeks shut in our own house with basic rations.

Make it a week shut in your house with FUCK-OFF MASSIVE CHOCOLATE
Every woman's dream. So you have a date then?

If I lived locally to you I would very happily teach you whatever dance you wanted, but it's really not something you can do remotely. I could probably recommend a decent dance school in your area though, my teacher knows fucking everyone

10th of September
I may take you up on that. We need to decide on a song first though.

Cannibal Corpse - Entrails ripped from a virgin's cunt
Done.

I fancy Dragonforce - Heart of a Dragon
finding a band who could cover it would be tricky though.

My current forerunner is Pride and Joy by Stevie Ray Vaughn.

So I'm imagining they all sound the same, ludicrous fret-wanking.

pretty much
some of them have some a capella bits in them.

I know they are cheesy and wanky, but I can't help but smile when listening to them.

Also it is amusing to use it as sex music.

you should both attend a bash
and teach him there and then while we watch and make humorous comments.

my mrs is quite shy and so this is very unlikely to happen
I'm not sure if I'll manage to get her along to a bash at all even.

That's a shame : (

( girlinthehole, Mon 27 Sep 2010, 11:07, Reply)

it is
it's strange, because once you know her even a little bit she's quite gregarious, but I think she gets a bit freaked out by new people en masse.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 27 Sep 2010, 11:14, Reply)

I used to be like that too.
Maybe she'll grow out of it.
( girlinthehole, Mon 27 Sep 2010, 11:17, Reply)

perhaps
I'm not sure I'd want her to meet you lot anyway. Several people have already said they are going to try and steal her.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 27 Sep 2010, 11:23, Reply)

Mine too
I think that introducing her to you lot would be well outside of her comfort zone. Also, she gets annoyed when people call me gay - feels it reflects badly on her, bizarrely - so I doubt it would end well

yeah, that doesn't sound like a recipe for success

this is good news for me.
