and again.
I have a bottle of Bollinger, some expensive choccies and shall buy a card later today (against my will) but you think there is any chance I get to watch the game?
Nope.
Mercy me WES are all you moose botherers hen pecked wretches or are you a rarity?
One doesn't ask permission to watch the football. One simply cracks open one's tin of lager, assumes a surly and macho demeanour in one's favourite chair and commences watching. One must then exude menace which will deter her from interrupting one's sporting experience.
I suppose what harm if it is a mutually enjoyable evening. I / we don't bother with it at all though the wife does leave a card for both kids.
Now I expect Sir C to mosey along in due course and ridicule your choice of champagne, that being his style.
p.s. I would just go now and get said chocs/card. You don't want to be halfway home and remember.
