It's actually Pain in the Ass, and I've seen this often (as no one ever seems to say it). It would appear that no one gets my sense of humor, or I'm just incredibly lame. The reason I forced out this failed attempt at being clever was due to this exchange:

Whoa, whoa, whoa, angry gav.

I don't know how they do things in your native Greek homeland.
But I've just met the woman - and I'm not even into pegging, like.

Oh I got the sense of humor alright, it was just a shame not to pass up an opportunity to call you a pain in the arse. Now I say 'arse' for the simple reason that the good old english arse word is so much more offensive than the wimpy american 'ass' word. I sometimes take the opportunity to dumb it down and use ass for merkins so that they will grasp the concept but arse is so much more fulfilling as a word.

Quite the opposite effect here, if you say arse it seems like you're just being silly. I would say it "arse" feels like when someone says "I need to make pee pee" while "ass" feels like "I need to piss". Maybe that won't resonate either because I'm not sure if there's something for urine that sounds harsher than piss.

Allen, who is this fictional wife of which you speak? It's a clear lie.

I take it that was the first mention.
I had assumed it was common knowledge.

Alrite, mate, btw. How's stuff?

You assume correct. The boy is a force of unnature.

I'm alright. The spastic daughter is sitting her 11 plus tomorrow, 60 miles away from home. It's fucked.

Fucked indeed - education on a Saturday. What dark times we live in.

My lad did had to do his first presentation this morning, he is seven and it was on whales. He asked me what to do so I said I'd print some pictures of whales for him to stick to the blackboard as he read out the whale facts we'd just collected.
He went; 'blackboard?'
I went; 'um, whiteboard ... ?'
He went; 'wut'
I didn't say anything because I was trying to imagine a class-room without some kind of apparatus for the teacher to write stuff on.

He saved the day by asking me to save the pics to a usb stick so everyone could see them on the wall monitor.

I felt mildly relieved. And old.

Bought her a Kindle and stole tons of stuff to put on it as a reward, but I really can't see myself parting with it.

I have one and can vouch for their goodness.

There's always the glimmer of a sliver of a chance that she will buck the trend of excelling academically and fuck it up.
Fingers crossed

It's the thought that counts, right? You thought about giving it to her. you reconsidered. It doesn't make you a bad person, just one with a Kindle...

The fact that you have one, and I will be waiting til after the first of the year, makes you a bastard, though. :seethingenvy:
