Ha ha, like that. When you've finished explaining it to her, could you pm me the details? Bending space, wormholes and bog standard time travel, mind blowing.

Astro physics is a piece of piss compared to particle physics. |

Christmas 2013. my girlfriend's family (and most other families I've come across) stop buying presents for grownups when they have kids. my family don't, we carry on regardless, and this year buying for my side of the fairly alone hit £200 (that's with a £10-£15 cap on each present, which is pretty hard to keep under nowadays) on top of buying for my own son and the in-laws, it cost us an arm and a leg. my girlfriend and I didn't bother with presents for each other as its just getting too expensive. I've spoken to my family about this, saying just buy for the kids (this coming year will be the first when we've all got kids) all bar two sisters think it's a good idea to just buy for kids, and agree it's too expensive but the other two are pretty steadfast saying they still want to buy for everyone. it's not even February and I'm dreading Christmas, it'll be shit either way, I'll either have spent money I don't have or be sat around with everyone else opening presents from each other, feeling like a prize cunt. fuck it.
Personally I would raise it again nearer the time to the ones who are resistant and make it clear that you are only buying for the kids. If they still decide to buy for the adults, that's up to them, but stand your ground. If they do buy for the adults, you'll all feel uncomfortable owhen they're opened, but I bet they won't do the same next year. Had exactly the same a few years ago with my husband's sister. Difference being, my brother in law earns silly money, so it didn't matter to them. Us and my husband's brother and wife agreed we were sticking to our guns anyway and the next year only the kids got presents. |

More presents for you, with your own expenditure reduced? That's a win if ever I saw one!

Totally agree with this. It's a classic case of wanting to cling to tradition but as soon as a new norm is established it will all be forgotten. A couple of my siblings just stated that they were going to stop buying for adults a few years ago. I wasn't keen initially but was soon happy as it makes Xmas shopping that much easier. I'd be sure that, if not immediately then within a year everyone will be comfortable with only buying for kids. |

I was annoyed that Shaw Rosso hadn't posted his thread yet but it turns out I managed to get pissed, come home, sleep, wake up, then be annoyed, all between the hours of 5 and 10.30pm.

Cheeky fuckers replying to my gumtree advert selling a BMW. Always by text, normally saying straight off the bat, "Whats the lowest you'd take for it". To which I reply that it's listed for £5,000 but I'm open to offers. Do you want to make an offer? No. Well, I'll not negotiate with myself.
Or this penis
I sold it this morning anyway.
