WOOF !
Invalid me bollix.
lads
young fella is 2 at the weekend so we are having a gathering
im seething as i think its utterly pointless at this age
there will be about 7 kids over- 2/3 age group, so i need to find a way to keep them occupied
the parents coming over are sound, so hope will have a few drinks and get them out of here before tipp and limerick
suggestion was to get a bouncy castle , small 10x10ft for the back garden for the kids,
yay or neigh?
you are correct and im aware of that
thatâs not a very nice thing to say tho
Donât beat yourself up about it. Back on track Iâd skip the bouncy castle for something amenable to all on TV via some of those modern systems that the lads here are expert on.
Pack them down in front of a marathon Dora/Peppa/Thomas/ whatever - horse goodies into them and threaten the living shite out of anyone who breaks the circle.
Fire up the BBQ, crack a few tinnies and have a peep at them every hour or soâŚ
Advertently, if itâs Saturday evening Laois play Armagh on TV. Theyâll be knocking lumps off each other if theyâre tuned in. Enjoy anyway. Imagine having a 2 y/oâŚFuck me it takes me back to the days when they got a piece of cake and were fucked out into the garden while we tore into hard liquor.
Yeâre gone quare soft the lot of yeâ.

Forget the bouncy castle lad - more trouble than itâs worth. If itâs a fine day, a few footballs outside and maybe a cheapo paddling pool and youâre laughing. Buy tons of those party blowers and horns, etc. And bubbles. For some reason kids go apeshit for them.
And youâre right - box the parents off with booze and youâre home and hosed.

Few boys around here wonât like you using the word gimp boxty.
Youâre dead right bout the castle btw
Twee maybe but the old party games are the best for that age, youâll need to put a bit of work in though. Pass the parcel, musical statues, pin the tail on the donkey, you know the thing. A tressurehunt with clues that will finish up at one of those pinata thingys. Theyâre too small for abouncy castle.
Get a pinata in one those party shops. They knock good craic out of them at that age. Its basically a paper donkey you fill up with sweets. The kids take turns at bashing it with a stick until the sweets fall out. Then mayhem.
Iâd rather gouge my eyes out than watch Laois play Armagh FFS
