Alan is soft. Somehow, the only soft Scotsman in the history of Scotsmen.
Locally they are pretty much all cyclists with wives and young kids - which means cycling dominates all their free time away from their families and spontaneous getting of pints is pretty much an impossibility
My best mates decision to move to Lincolnshire when what he should have done is move to Brighton so we could hang out more
Heās still peddling his football boot lies!
Well yeah theyāre shit too and keep talking about āneeding a passā to go out. Just a bit more free than the ladies.
Good man, thanks. All well in the world of DiS? I see white dog pooās still high on the agenda.
Itās never been off the agenda unfortunately. Youāve missed nothing in your absence I can assure you.
All got kids or dogs or gone vegan, so planning anything is a fucking nightmare. Just planning drinks is a logistical chore and I increasingly cba.
I obvs adore them and fully support their choices, while acknowledging the impact on me isnāt relevant or important.
Our cat is a scaredy cat whoās afraid of everyone. Heās absolutely terrified of dogs and he gets so scared he hides away and literally shits himself.
Got one friend who wont come round to ours 'cos we asked that he doesnāt bring his dog.
My friends keep asking me why Iām moving away and leaving all my friends behind. Because youāre never bloody free!!!
One of my mates, and I love him dearly, revels in still being dependent on his parents. I mean heās early 30s and married and stuff (living in a house that his parents bought outright for him) but heās a lazy cunt who still does an entry-level job and lives in a nicer house and has an easier life than any of the rest of us. Needs a new car - his Dad buys him one. Washing machine packs in - his Dad sorts it all out for him. Gets a speeding fine - his Dad pays for it. And he absolutely loves it.
Drives me insane. Not really because his lifeās easier than mine, but because he doesnāt value any semblance of being an independent adult. Heās in for a hell of a shock when his parents are no longer around.
That is annoying. Who finds not being able to take a dog with you a dealbreaker? How does he go anywhere that isnāt the park?
We went on a stag do last year and had to be at the airport for 4am or something dreadful. We were all coming from different places so got cabs/drove etc. and he stayed at his parents and his Mum drove him to the airport!
He spends a lot of time in the park and the pub.
My wife is currently on the piss in Lisbon with 6 mates 'til Sunday. Me and the boy are off to Southend on sea. We only have one though tbf, so stuff like that is still pretty easy.
One of them drinks pints really slowly, which is bit tedious when weāre doing rounds. Iām pretty sure he slows down even further when someone inevitably mentions it.
Quite a lot of them support Liverpool FC
Last week my other half was out four nights out of a five night stretch!
I do my best to encourage her to as much of a social life as she can, because the norm is probably how you describe. Probably too much now sheās got a better social life than me!
Sounds like a sensible fellow
Oh well maybe my friends just donāt like me
My friend got a scholarship to do a Masters at a prestigious London uni that she didnāt even want to do. Literally owned up to the fact she only did it because she didnāt want to get a job.
Same friend who is permanently on holiday because she works remotely and then messages me when Iām in my office to complain about her unlimited holidays. (And didnāt vote in the referendum because sheās half Polish so she gets to keep her EU rights anyway aghhh)
