Do you reckon it will end up 2 x the estimate, 3 x or somewhere inbetween? It certainly wont come in on budget :mad:.
HS2 were £10 million overspent before they even put a shovel in the ground.
I'll be amazed if it comes in under £100 billion - and that's just for the London to Birmingham section.

same kid who threw stones at him a few weeks ago, will have to keep an eye out for them, follow and report to the RSPCA, Police not interested.

vets again, imagine he will have to be sedated to take the tooth out
Tell the police the kid was throwing stones at whoever he was with.:)

TV or Film Synopsis that fail to mention it's in a foreign language with subtitles. I just hate watching anything with subtitles...often stick with it for a while in case it changes to English after the opening scene!

Family wedding guests moaning we've not asked for any gifts. We don't need or want anything all we've requested is that people come along and enjoy the day with us. But apparently this is ungrateful and feel we should be asking them for gifts 🙄

Maybe donations to charity in lieu of gifts would be an answer,

Hope it all goes well 👍

We've suggested that to them yesterday to donate to Guys & St Thomas children's hospital charity foundation something that did a lot for us both as kids hopefully it's something they'll all do, but knowing half my family that won't be enough as with them is about prestige of who bought the best gift, 🙄

We didn’t need anything when we got married, we put a poem in the invite


We’ve been together for a few years now;
We have pots and pans and linen and towels;
We have glasses and toasters, really quite a few;
So instead of more gifts, we suggest this to you;
If it doesn’t offend and it won’t send you running;
What we would really appreciate is quite simply money;
We know choosing gifts can be such a pain;
And this way there is no chance of bringing the same!

Know quite a few who were either 2nd time around or had been together quite a while and didn't need anything. We asked where they were going on their honeymoon and then gave them £/€/$, whichever currency was appropriate for their destination.

Terrific idea, now if only he could figure out what to do with that huge surplus of Rupees before he heads home :unsure:

:ROFLMAO:


edit: hope the toothache's gone now

We suggested that seeing as it would be difficult to get large presents in their luggage it would be better if people gave us gifts that fit in an envelope, and we're using those gifts as part of the deposit on our house

We just asked for monetary donations towards our honeymoon. Then we had to spend it all on a new boiler anyway. We're finally going on honeymoon this September, two years after the wedding. :LOL:
