Roadbump mate. Long career ahead. Sounds like a decent long term decision

Yea, I will have to try and get a mortgage next year and be able to show a bank manager some sort of security of tenure. Recentyly enough married so hopefully might be able to start a family sooner or later. Headcount is a big issue here and they roll contracts over year after year. Previous company isnt as glamorous as this one but fuck it just give me certainty and fairness.

todays pushy parents … will not have a good relationship with those kids into adult life.

As long as the apple falls very far from the tree,
Any parent would be ashamed of their life if their son grew up like that lad

Many, many years ago when I was 23
I was married to a widow who was pretty as can be
This widow had a grown-up daughter who had hair of red
My father fell in love with her and soon they too were wed
This made my dad my son-in-law and really changed my life
For now my daughter was my mother 'cause she was my father’s wife
And to complicate the matter even though it brought me joy
I soon became the father of a bouncing baby boy
My little baby then became a brother-in-law to dad
And so he became my uncle though it mad me very sad
For if he were my uncle that would also made him brother
Of the widows grown-up daughter who was of course my stepmother
Father’s wife then had a son who kept them on the run
And he became my grandchild for he was my daughter’s son
My wife is now my mother’s mother and it makes me blue
Because although she is my wife she’s my grandmother two
Now if my wife is my grandmother then I’m her grandchild
And every time I think of it, nearly drives me wild
'Cause now I have become the strangest case you ever saw
As husband of my grandmother I am my own grandpaw
For if he were my uncle that would also made him brother
Of the widows grown-up daughter who was of course my stepmother
Father’s wife then had a son who kept them on the run
And he became my grandchild for he was my daughter’s son
My wife is now my mother’s mother and it makes me blue
Because although she is my wife she’s my grandmother two
Now if my wife is my grandmother then I’m her grandchild
And every time I think of it, nearly drives me wild
'Cause now I have become the strangest case you ever saw
As husband of my grandmother I am my own grandpaw
For if he were my uncle that would also made him brother
Of the widows grown-up daughter who was of course my stepmother
Father’s wife then had a son who kept them on the run
And he became my grandchild for he was my daughter’s son
My wife is now my mother’s mother and it makes me blue
Because although she is my wife she’s my grandmother two
Now if my wife is my grandmother then I’m her grandchild
And every time I think of it, nearly drives me wild
'Cause now I have become the strangest case you ever saw
As husband of my grandmother I am my own grandpaw
Oh I’m my own grandpaw
I’m my own grandpaw
It sounds funny I know but it really is so
I’m my own grandpaw
(Listen to this now)
I’m my own grandpaw
I’m my own grandpaw
I’m my own grandpaw

Maybe that’s why Me & you get on so well.

Pedigree Corner used to do that back in the day. It was carnage.
@hbv, the drink driving sleeze who knocked up 2 women and has both families living under the one roof with him while he rides hookers every other weekend pontificating on parental advice.
God bless TFK and all who sail in her

Lads, I received 50 kids football shirts today. Most could pass as new and they’re nearly all remarkable (an AS Roma drill top, 3 Arsenal JVC era shirts, a tiny Celtic New Balance shirt, a Man Yoo top with Falcao and one with Berbatov on it for instance. There’s a Scunthorpe United shirt)
As I pledged to give back, if anyone has a nipper who would get a kick from a usually expensive shirt PM me the team and size if you are on the Eastern Seaboard and I will see if I have something.
Also, as my shop does not recognise rugby, there’s a M. Boys Ospreys and a L. Boys Scotland going free. They’re quality material and if you are sick enough to let your child waste their time at that past time, PM me. Can post anything also.
There’s a PSG shirt with Zlatan on it also.

I did all my shopping for the few important people in my life deserving of presents on Black Friday which was November 24th. Feet up here now tonight with the fire on and might cook a few sausages shortly. I’d a lovely day where I did actually go into town but that was only for pints and a burrito. Herself is driving and walking around from shop to shop in Limerick since 4pm and it’s now 9pm and she’s still going. 
I can’t get my head around it.

Are you off for a while over the Christmas?

I got my holidays essentially on December 9th and I’m not back until January 8th. All i had was to do a few hours this week helping a fella out who is gone on holidays. Half days Tuesday-Friday of this week. I work most of the rest of the year but would usually take a week off for Cheltenham too. I love having long spells off over Christmas if for no other reason than it drives fellas mad when you tell them.

A lot of teachers do it for the same reason (allegedly)
