Am still trying to persuade my boyfriend of 6 months to meet my parents. He's clearly scared by the prospect. Probably doesn't help that my dad had told me to tell him that while he was making me happy he would be forever in his debt, but if he ever made me unhappy he'd better be ready to pack his bags and go back home (he's from east europe).


On meeting a boyfriend of mine when I was at university my dad took him aside and told him if he didn't learn to stand up to his daughter every once in a while I would never respect him. I was really offended at the time - but with hindsight he had a point, the boyfriend in question was decidedly wet!


I don't recall him saying anything embarassing to the other boyfriend of mine he met, but my mum did cut that one down to size when he was bragging about his first class degree compared to my lowly upper second class one by asking (fake) innocently wasn't his degree from a polytechnic. That one I did just laugh about - said boyfriend used to tell me I was stupid on a regular basis and deserved everything he got. Lord knows I was hopeless at defending myself against his regular criticism. Even his mum used to tell me not to put up with his behaviour.

My eldest daughter has had two serious boyfriends....I have taken each for a drink and pre arranged to meet some old army colleagues who proceeded to tell some very tall tales to each other during the course of the evening....


Works a treat!


My first girlfriend's father had a Meremma (sp)which is a fairly fierce beast...it used to sit and grin at me from about 9 inches away, the grin widening if I moved a muscle.


I learnt an awful lot about self control in those sessions.

    • My kids have started getting into vinyl… I’m looking to buy a cheap-ish amp & two pairs of (bookshelf) speakers if anyone has any going. Thanks
    • Never knew any of this. Thought it was privately owned and just a not very successful restaurant and wedding venue. Ate there once, many years ago, and food was pretty average. Such a shame such a beautiful venue in a stunning location has not done better. I guess it is a bit out of the way?  
    • Won't be the only thing getting touched in more ways than one, how comes this has been kept so secretive, and right on the door step almost of the village. The mind boggles at what's been going on under our noses!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well this has certainly livened up the chat on a mid Saturday afternoon.  I've even got the perfect track for this...............................   Certainly not a "Dear God" situation. 
    • Could you make that a link? I don't want to Google it or type the www in case I then get inundated with - well, not sure exactly what, but I suspect I wouldn't want to be inundated with it 🤣
