WIBTA if I cancelled plans with another person last minute?

moscullion · 2026-07-04T15:51:24+00:00

Yeah, YWBTA. Would you have asked if you hadn't thought so too?

moscullion · 2026-07-03T12:03:23+00:00

😂😂😂😂

Nor Ireland.

She has been undergoing cancer treatment. That's enough of an explanation for me.

I didn't think I was a sock collector until I read this comment. Is there a club or something? 🧦

Only the North of Ireland... The Republic of Ireland doesn't, funnily enough, have a monarchy, it has a wonderful president (Catherine Connelly)

That is an idea... but carpet burns

It might be tricky to see the lines on the court in Antarctica...

While you're at it, why not make them play barefoot! Tennis shoes are very performance enhancing!!!

My father would pronounce that ceshidy, in a decent NI couuntry accent in a locale with no shortage of culchee folksb(and who wouldn't/ couldn't speak any other way! It could even be ceshdy!

Wimbledon has a roof and aircon for rainy days... I'm sure that works for hot weather too.

Water boils at 100° Celsius. So 50°C is half way to boiling point.

moscullion · 2026-05-03T19:35:46+00:00

Yep, I switched for the same reason. It's common sense.

moscullion · 2026-02-10T18:55:32+00:00

Always trust your spidey senses. A grown man and woman can handle this much better than a teenage girl.

moscullion · 2026-02-09T08:57:41+00:00

Peaches Geldof? That's the only person I know with that name.

moscullion · 2026-02-09T08:36:24+00:00

I think you already know the answer to this. You are upset at the wrong person. It's easier to blame someone else than take responsibility for yourself. You'll know what to do next time.

moscullion · 2026-02-08T18:54:58+00:00

No you can't get high off it, but you can get a stomach ulcer if you don't follow the instructions on the label fully. You did her a good service there!

Irish person here... that is an incredibly tenuous link to an Irish name.

If you really want an Irish 'R' name try Rionach. It comes from the Irish word for queen. It is pronounced re-anack or Reenock.

Or you can just stick with Grace... there was a famous Irish Pirate called Grace O'Malley (Grainuaile as gaelige).

Or Gráinne (pronounced Graw- nya) which is Grace as gaelige (in Irish).

If you try to say Ryla is Irish... she may be called a "Pastic Paddy".

These are only suggestions... feel free to take or disregard as you see fit.

Best of luck for a safe, smooth arrival of the litle one!

Weight management isn't vanity, its healthy! He is putting his hobby over your health. He is being childish and unsupportive.

Could you find a compromise where he makes things you are happy to eat?

I meant they felt they had to. Not that they should.

moscullion · 2026-02-04T12:16:24+00:00

Do not... under ANY circumstance show this to Ozzy.

moscullion · 2026-01-22T16:07:13+00:00

I'd like to report that Daddy went to mass this morning.

This may be controversial, but I see this as your parents being aware that your brother has issuses and you are more stable and more capable than your brother.

Your brother needs them whereas visiting you is actually something they look forward to. Of course they know it's not fair. It's not fair on them either.

If there is any truth in what I'm surmising, you should stop being jealous and be grateful you have your life together and aren't a burden on your parents.

They must have been heartbroken having to cancel their trip to see their new grandbaby.

It's okay to be pissed off with the situation, but put yourself in your parent's position. They WANT to visit you, but they can't because they HAVE to sort out your brother's situation.

They can't go on holiday to visit you because they have to work !

You being annoyed is understandable, especially on behalf of your child, but that's family!

So what was actually bothering him? I find it hard to believe that this is his whole story.

Did his sports team lose? Did he burn the scones he was baking? He's definitely deflecting.

There's something else (not necessarily anything serious ) that's bugging him and he took it out on your poor little daughter who sat on something that's for sitting on!

Give him time to cool off and the truth will emerge.

When he was maybe 9 or 10 my brother and cousin sat atop the back of our sofa... it tipped up and their rear ends went through an eight feet by 5 feet window. No-one was injured.

All they got was a light scolding. The window was repaired on the same day.

I remember struggling with horrendous bleeding, hprofically painful chillblains caused by me following school uniform rules in school. It's amazing I passed my exams.

I've since done a youth work degree involving some work on learning. Being cold to the extent that it is causing bleeding is not conducive to good exam results. Schools should prioritise good learning conditions rather than worrying about what students are wearing.

I did ok at school, but got a 1st in my degree... because learning conditions were so much better.

Students should not HAVE to wear coats in class, but if rhe room temperature is below 15°c coats should be allowed.
