Ron Aldo Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 We have varying ideas of what constitutes barbecue weather. My wife wants to have one on Saturday with the forecast being 12 degrees and cloudy. I think this is a mad idea. Who is wrong?My other half is the exact same. The slightest hint of dry weather and she suggests a barbecue. Doesn't matter what time of year.My argument is that barbecues are for the summer months only and since I do the cooking this is one of the few arguments I tend to win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got questioned when she got in today because the cushions on the couch had been moved. I explained I'd sat on it to have my lunch. I have a reminder to sit in my own seat in future. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latapythelegend Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Since we can gather in groups of 6 from 6 households, she has said her parents and brother are coming up on Saturday. I advise her I am watching the Falkirk game at 12. She cracks up saying I am not sitting in the house when her family are here - as if they are the fucking Windsors. She knew fine well I'd be watching the football yet invites them up because it suits her. Her dad and brother are also Falkirk fans but would never pay for an away stream. So now I am to turn the TV unit and point it out the patio doors so we can watch the game whilst sitting distanced in the garden. Absolutely fuming. To compound matters, I am no longer allowed to call Mark Durnan and Connor Sammon useless c***s as it will cause offence. I've never considered myself to be very rough spoken but this family are a bunch of vanilla c***s. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However if that's what it takes to scare them off then I'm looking out a black tie and working on my somber face. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claim you can’t arrange the telly that way due to a logistical/electrical reason. You’ll be inside with a beer and your feet up whilst everyone else is outside. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Pete Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Just leave them to it. Sit inside yourself and do you. Done it loads of times. Don't let my failing marriage put you off. That was for reasons other than my selfishness. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, sit and ignore them. Happy days. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
