Na , instead she wants a shopping trip. Meal out and then sleep on her own in loft no kids so that's what we will go for

Same thing just in the house as even though she wants a break she can't leave them

I kind of get that. Idea sounds great but then the prospect of actually leaving them doesn't really appeal. I guess she'd spend the time fretting about them so sounds like you've got the best option now.

Only if he got the money back from the hotel.

People on Twitter that limit who can reply to their tweets or don't allow replies. If they're so confident in what they've written then they should be able to defend that position from people who disagree rather than not allowing replies.

My wife.

Bit stressed recently, the girls a lot of work.

"Oh I need a break"

Always saying how she would love a hotel for the night , no kids just sleep and eat food

So I arrange childcare for the weekend to help me get them to bed, I book her into a hotel and spa

Looks like I'm canceling it now as she doesn't want to go

Litterally flabbergasted.
Leave her at home with the kids & go yourself ?

People watching things they know are likely to be offensive.... Then complaining that they're offensive.

People need saving from themselves these days.

Honestly, I've always found him hilarious but the alleged joke, if it's as reported, is dreadful.

It may well be, I've not heard it yet. But in my eyes there is not a single incident or historical event that should be outside the realms of comedy.... Anyway, I don't want to hijack this thread with a rant.

It's my random irritation for today ?

If it’s the one that’s currently making the news. His show has been on Netflix for quite a while now. I’m shocked it’s taken so long for the professionally offended to notice.

It’s tough one - think it just crept over the line , the sort of stuff Frankie Boyle does on a regular occurrence knowing he will get people reacting

Have seen the whole thing. Much (most?) was close to the limit - as would be expected from him. Quite a lot was cringe-making funny but quite a bit was so cringe-making that it was, give or take, too much to be funny. But that's his act, and what he's known for - and you're naive to watch if you have delicate sensibilities.

Would you make a joke about those murdered by Peter Sutcliffe or the soham murders, really? There’s such a thing as common decency, and subjects that should always be off limits.

I’ve been to see him live a couple of times. He’s very funny. I genuinely don’t understand why you would watch his show if you are a bit delicate. Unless you were looking to be offended. He even references being cancelled in his latest show.

The first time we saw him was with my wife’s friend and her husband. The wife’s friend thought we were going to see Alan Carr. She wasn’t impressed ?
