I cant believe it! - Dilemma

[Rambo]

Typical - the soon to be Mrs Rambo has just informed me that we have a wedding to go to next saturday (one of her old friends) and that we ARE going.
I dont hardly know them and dont like them anyway!
I have been making arrangements to go to Oldham.
Now what the hell am I gonna do??
Sneek off to Oldham and risk the wrath of the Mrs? (Iam getting married on the 23rd) - missing the bloody Barnsley game too.
or
Go and have a walkman with me and just ignore everyone all afternoon.

This has really pissed me off - help and sympathy please....

The rest of the women may slate me for saying this but I am on your side.

She should have told you earlier that this was arranged.
You have already made arrangements so stick to them.

The following Saturday you are going to devote to her anyway.

Put your foot down (nicely but firmly) and she will respect you for it

 

[Rambo]

The thing is Yorkie I think she told me about 3 weeks ago, but I dont think I was really paying attention! guess I have no excuse

 

[Ned]

And if that doesn't work Give her a good slap

(But make sure you're wearing your running spikes before she slaps you back)



only joking I would never lay a finger on Yorkie

Ah! Different scenario then. Sweet talking- flowers, dinner may help but no guarantee!!

Still there's always QPR

 

[Lady Bracknell]

I'm with yorkie on this one. If this wedding was so important that you absolutely HAVE to be there then you should have been told about it earlier. I reckon it's a complete

And your Mrs-to-be isn't going to enjoy this wedding if she gets to go to it with someone who doesn't want to be there. Go to Oldham! You Know It Makes More Sense!! And so will she if you can persuade her!...

 

[Lord Bracknell]

The match I most regretted missing last season was the away game at Portsmouth. Same reason. My niece was getting married in ... er ... Portsmouth.

Best way to deal with this is go to the wedding, tell everyone that you need to know, minute by minute, what's going on at the game. Ensure that you have a pocket radio and access to a supply of text messages.

Outcome is that you soon discover a huge number of fellow guests with an interest in football. Most of them will be complete strangers, but you've now got a group of like-minded chums to get pissed with. Enjoy the banter! It beats talking to the relatives.

 

[Lady Bracknell]

P.S. I still reckon 3 weeks is cutting it fine...but it looks like time for some sweet-talking. You could always make a real martyr of yourself by promising to take her shopping for the wedding outfit

 

[Everest]

Put your foot down & tell her that she can't have it all her own way.
It'll have to be one of the 2 weddings you go to. Her friends or your own. It cannot be both.

At your wedding will her vows include "to honour & obey"? If so, tell her to get some practice in.

If that doesn't work, fall down the stairs on the eve of her friends wedding & break your arm. Tell her that you don't feel up to going, and then sneek off to Oldham.

 

[Juan Albion]

Cancel both weddings, mate. You know it makes sense.

I say, BRAVO!!!

 

[Eddie the Seagull]

5 steps to a successful solution.

1) Tell her to f*** off.

2) The 23rd is off.

3) Pack her bags.

4) Kick her out.

5) Buy train ticket to Oldham.

Football is always the winner - SOD the Wedding

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Rambo - How you call this one will dictate your future life together. It's THAT important. Put your foot down, go to footie & your future missus & all your future friends-in-law will accept your absence cos 'That Rambo - He Goes To Football'. On the other hand, concede this one, and it's every weekend for the foreseeable decorating & going round DIY Superstores for you m'lad.

Just Say no!

 

[hart's shirt]

Tom's right - this could well turn out to be a landmark ruling which could be brought up by your beloved ad infinitum in future years.

I just can't understand men or women who don't appreciate the beautiful game. Actually it's more specific than that - I can't understand how men and women can ask football supporters to miss something that's dear to them because of a wedding. Nowadays people can get married seemingly at any time of day anywhere in the world, whereas football, with the exception of SKY's Premiership, is normally a Saturday afternoon thing. Even people with no interest in football whatsoever must realise when the vast majority of games up and down the country occur - I've been reliably informed that it's apparently the best time to head off to the supermarket.

The growing number of DAFT bints on NSC would seem to blow the old male chestnut of 'women just don't understand the importance of football' well and truly out of the water. So as it's not a female plot to undermine another male bastion in society (circa 'The Worm That Turned' mini-series in The Two Ronnies), one must assume that men with no regard for football-loving 'friends' are as much to blame as women of that ilk - who are these fellows and what sort of upbringing have they had?

In short Rambo, it's time to make a one-man stand - something that you should be used to with all those years in 'Nam.

(BTW, the fact that I've been to precisely 3 weddings in my life and am still single at the age of 32 shouldn't cloud your view on this in any way...)

 

[Rambo]

Latest news is that I will still not being going to Oldham, Iam trying to be nice about it, but if no result by Weds then I may have to take drastic measures.

 

[CHAPPERS]

If you do go, gis a lift.

 

[Legend]

Tell her that If she loves you,she wouldn't make you go.
Alternatively If she told you 3 weeks ago,Claim to have told her that you were going to Oldham 4 weeks ago ......

P.S You stand no chance.Enjoy the wedding !!!!!!!

 

[Braders]

my advice - drop her at the wedding ,say your going to park the car then go to oldham - when she asks where you were say " there was no bloody parking spaces"
