That’s a bit over the top though, pal.
Here what about Nadal’s comeback earlier? He’s relentless isn’t he?
Almost as relentless as the baby’s crying was las night. It was like…
And we’re off again.

Sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind. Once your pals know that entirely baby related conversations are off the cards, they will stop bringing everything back to their kids and will come to value and cherish time spent with you as they can talk about their other interests.
As mentioned earlier, my own friends are clued in and a swell bunch of chaps. It’s more a working day related issue. Perhaps I’ll change careers.
Given the choice, would you prefer they talk to you about kids or rugby football?
Cant be bothered with the last few pages so can someone confirm whether bando is getting broody
Kids.

but it is overrated and this whole " the happiest moment ever thing" is a load of bluster[/QUOTE]
As I suspected. Good to see someone have the balls to be honest.
I started a thread a few years ago about how I felt it wasn’t for me. I still feel that way.

good for you pal. not everyone is the same or has the same way of thinking, and shouldnt feel under any pressure to conform either way.
Much like everyone is different, and just because mickee thinks it wasnt the best thing to happen him or that it is over rated, doesnt mean others are being dishonest when they say it is the best thing to happen them or that it is far from over rated. do you think others who say that are being dishonest and dont have any balls?

Of all the things Mickee has said on here, this is what you choose to believe?
Bando, how was the fettucini in Belluccis?
Well-known restaurateur Robbie Fox defended his decision to turn Caireann Smyth and her 15-month-old daughter Ava away from Belucci’s restaurant in Ballsbridge.
"I don’t like refusing people, Mr Fox said.
"Nobody can afford to be refusing people from their business, but the problem we have here is that at lunchtime between 12 and 2, it’s very, very corporate.
EMBARRASSMENT
“The last thing they want is to have a child in the restaurant.”
Ms Smyth (32) told the Herald of her embarrassment of being told to leave by the manager.
"I had my daughter in the buggy and Robbie, the owner, came up to us and said, 'I’m sorry but we don’t allow children in at this time, but that we were welcome to come back in the afternoon.
"He just said that there is a no children policy and I didn’t press him any further because there were quite a few people around.
“It was quite embarrassing for me, being told to leave in front of a busy restaurant. We ended up going to the Four Seasons instead.”
Concerned over what had happened, her husband and local Fine Gael councillor Dr Patrick Smyth called the business to speak with Mr Fox.
“He explained that he does not allow children into his Italian restaurant because it might disturb the bankers who eat there,” Cllr Smyth said.
"I said that you cannot just discriminate against children. It’s a vile practice to give priority to bankers over children.
“I don’t care if it’s legal or not, that is irrelevant. To me this is just morally objectionable,” he added.
Mr Fox pointed out that the restaurant’s website states that it “cannot cater for children under 12” between noon and 2pm on weekdays and on any evening after 7pm.
“I have children myself but this is purely a business decision that if I have children here at lunchtime then I won’t have people in here doing business,” he said.
"It’s not anti-family, because on a Saturday and a Sunday, which are traditionally family days, we more than welcome families in here.
BABYSITTERS
"You can’t say that we are a place that’s biased towards business people. It’s just an environment that we try to create in the restaurant [on weekday lunchtimes], which is not conducive to children.
“I don’t think that it’s morally objectionable,” he added.
Mr Fox said many people approve of his restaurant’s policy saying that when the issue was previously raised on a radio station, a survey found that 68pc of listeners agreed with him.
“This is why people pay for babysitters,” he said.
"I am of the opinion that its horses for courses.
“There are restaurants that are for families and that’s what they set their stall out for, and we’re not one of them,” Mr Fox said.
I dont see an issue in that either. If a restaurant wants to use his place as a meeting point in a busy area full of business people, then he’ll do whatever he can to cater to his clientèle. He caters for business people and makes his living that way. there are plenty of other options for families to go.
FFS , the self styled father of the year now backtracking cause horsebox called him out
Sickening shit alright.
I’m not entirely sure when or how @Horsebox called me out, but I am sure that whatever he said, he was lying.
@TreatyStones is the father of the year, sure didnt he look after the little one on his own the other night and crowed to the missus about how easy it is!
Disappointed to hear the poor dear had to slum it in the 4 Seasons instead.
can we get a picture of this yoke?
