    Family Tensions

    Just had a very upsetting call from my sister in law regarding my relationship with my little nephew.

    Cutting to the Chase, it was his birthday last weeks and my brother has recently lost.his job as a charge hand on a Cornish pasty production line down in Falmouth.

    This meant that all the poor little blighter got for a birthday treat was a visit to the remnants of Farmer O' Leakey's "maize maze".

    So I fired up the landy, whisked him off to Newquay Airport and took him to Euro Disney. Upon our return, I bought him a Scaletrix, a Rockhopper mountain bike and an XBox 360.

    Now the cheeky cow says I've driven a wedge through the family as all little Saul wants to do is hang out with his Uncle Pacha. Some bloody gratitude that is.

    The fact of the matter is that I am a very wealthy man and I feel it is my duty to extend my munificence to my kith and kin. Blood is thicker than water after all.

    I was planning on taking him to Digger World this weekend followed by an afternoon driving carties at Hale Sands.

    She has requested that I stay away as my brother is feeling inadequate. Not really sure how to handle this but I'm tempted to go down anyway, stick a load of lolly, say 2 grand, in an envelope thrust it into his top pocket and tell him to go and fill his boots.

    Anyone here been in this delicate predicament before?

    Not that particular one no. But similar family tensions due to my father in law's incontinent sh***ing dog regularly leaving turds on my carpets on Christmas mornings. Thankfully it is now departed.

    Families eh, don't you just love them!

      Yep, try the tactful way out, check the lottery numbers on Saturday night, bung the equivalent of the 5 number prize in said envelope, stick it in yr Bro's back pocket and tell him to let on he got 5 up on the lottery.

      If he pees it up the wall or she turns up in 5 new pairs of gucci shoes, you'll know not to do it again.

        The fact of the matter is that I am Walter Mitty.

        Anyway, is she a little hottie ? Are you trying to do a Ryan Giggs ?

          I can't work out whose sockie you are, but this is a slight improvement on the usual dross.
          Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

              If it were me, I'd bypass the P.A. and talk directly to my brother.

                Astounding, isn't it, how two siblings can have such differing fortunes. Like Esau and Jacob, or AtW and Maria Sharapova.

                Is she fit, your sister in law? Any pictures?

                  Ftfy but that is how your brother and brother in law are seeing it.

                    Agreed.

                    OP, from the sounds of it, you're a d**k.
