Loose Men

A potential TV Show that may rival loose-women.

I think it should go ahead. We have problems too and our 2 veg may one day require hospital treatment. Testicular cancer.

I also got today that I am fat. I shrugged it off. To be perfectly honest, I don't think I could care any less. Its a bit of belly flab that can be burned off.

Today, I battled hard.

I got dragged around another charity shop. My phone was only on 4% and I was starting to get hungry.

I often got asked the question: what do you think of this coat?

"I think it looks good. It's only £3...I think we should buy it"- my frequent response.

An hour later....

What do you think of this other coat?

I held it all in. I remained very patient. I took deep breaths and said ill get us both coffee after. I won some points for doing so.

I said Charlton are going to Hull and back tomorrow. To my surprise, that phrase actually received a mild chuckle.

I am a man with no PS5. I do what I am told.

    I'm poor at grammar, I thought this was a thread about cutting the size of our squad.

    I was half joking 🙂

    I personally like buying office attire from charity shops as its usually good value.

    If you are shopping with your partner and she tells you that she is bowsing a charity shop and she will see you in there.

    It means you are in trouble. You need to hold it in. Answer politely to every repeated question. Have good body posture along with a mild grin to cover a strong desire to escape the shop after an hour of endlessly strolling around it.

    If she notices a washing basket and asks "do you think we should get a washing basket?" 

    Respond with..."erm, maybe another time"

    Not "we've actually already got a washing basket".

    We walk into a charity shop and she thinks the polkadot dog's coat is lovely. It's the same one we donated to the shop two weeks ago. We don't even have a dog. 

    I say let's go home now, love - Strictly's on soon. She gets angry, says I embarrassed her by saying she likes strictly. Next time I'm to say "... that historical documentary you said looked interesting." 

    Now we're on our way to the garden center to look at seeds. I have to pretend I'm interested, and present ideas for what plants might look good in our garden, or her sister's garden, or a theoretical garden we might have in the future. All my earnest suggestions are dismissed. 

    Now I sit at home, staring at the seeds. What would happen if I ate them all, along with that plant fertilizer? Maybe I would turn into a plant. Maybe I could live out the rest of my days, sitting quietly in the corner, staring at the sun. Maybe that would be a better life.

    I can't wait for the next international break if this is what we've got to look forward to.
    Shoot me now. 😳

    Can someone let me know when this is on, so I can plan to be out?

    Perhaps this is a good place to ask for advice on jam making and the continued problems I have whenever I crochet.

    Still pissed from last night I think. What with @Radostanradical's post on the Nathan Jones thread, must've been an especially big Friday night.

    No drugs here.

    Just the permanent scar of being charltonised

    I thought it was about the permanent scar of being in a relationship with one from the female sex. 

    Guess it's a bit like Charlton. The slow demise of ones mental health.

    This might be the best post I’ve ever read on here. It’s got it all.

    Well, prose really. This is poetry:

    There once was a man with no need

    for a canine suit on a lead,

    He begged his wife’s pardon,

    planned an imaginary garden,

    now he’s just swallowed some seeds.
