Good video that. Obviously before h &s
As not a hi Viz in sight .
Had a Racefit on my Fireblade RR8 years ago, took it to Germany. No way I’d have one on now, stupidly loud.
Birthdays. Mrs GOM and myself were informed yesterday that 3 weeks ago we had forgotten 
our youngest grandaughters 15th birthday. Cost me £10.
A TENNER ? 
What a tight wad…..a coffee each for her and her mate.
I got / still am in the bad books for forgetting our anniversary 
gom , Christ knows how much it’s costing me to weasel myself back into the wife’s good books , every bloody conversation she ends up reminding me of it 
Some say ‘tight as a knats chuff’, but we are only poor (very) OAP’s
And how much is b loody coffee these days? 
AS for forgetting anniversary’s, it’s my annual party trick (you’d think by now I would have got the hang of it, we’ve had 65 of them ) When I do ‘forget’ her language is appalling, …and I’m not a fat b astard, an ounce or two overweight maybe, but there’s no need for the names she calls me.

I have 2 (well trained) daughters for that, they keep me posted about upcoming birthdays and anniversaries,… sometimes they even go out and get me cards and presents for these occasions, and are a particular godsend for Christmas shopping…(I’ve got that job sussed for a while now.…..)
I’d be lost without them, my memory is terrible for dates.
4 to 5 quid depending on your outlet preference, I think Maccy Ds and Gregg’s are the cheapest about 3 and a half quid.
I even know of some people who have scams going to get free coffees.
Surely you meant (very) poor OAPs?
I only did that once, even though I hadn’t actually forgotten, I had the dates mixed up, there were no acceptable explanations.

It’s the missus who forgets our anniversary, I’ve always bought her a bunch of flowers for 53 years.

What a sweetheart, I hope all goes well. I used to have a wire-haired JR cross, she came everywhere with me in the lorry back then.
Aaah, you’re not hard enough for this marriage business, 
65 years ago in a moment of alcohol fuelled madness, I splashed the cash on mine, I paid 7/6d for a marriage licence , that’s kept her going , I can honestly say that I’ve never bought flowers for her’
She was lucky to get me, I was in great demand.

Yeah I have a ‘routine’if anybody asks us how we met, the wife hated it at first, but she’s now used to it and just rolls those blue eyes.…..
‘‘So how did you 2 meet then?’’
‘‘She was my stalker I confronted her while she was going through my bins’’

Surely that’s well expired, unless you renewed it.
WHAT ? I paid good money for that licence, I’m a Yorkshireman and I want my moneys worth.
when her father heard we were getting married he bought me a pint and said "good luck with her…you’ll need it
My mil ( rip ) told me at my wedding to her daughter it was the worst day of her life seeing her daughter marrying me , her worst nightmare ( she wasn’t originally going to attend the wedding ) , it wasn’t a suprise as I was baned from her house , she hated me , even after we were married she had nothing to do with me , wife would go and see her with my girl
She said I was a horrid person , trouble etc ( she did have a point in those days ) , it’s a shame really as she told the wife it was her dream to see her daughter settled & happy , whereas she’d ended up just worried sick every day about her daughter / granddaughter , she’d didn’t see the marriage lasting 2 mins
But 30 years later we’re still together , though wife says more so through pity , I’d end up on my own & wouldn’t cope , in them days I didn’t care , now I find it sad , I know how I feel about my girl , so can fully understand where the mil was comming from , but you can’t turn the clocks back even though I’d now like to have her see a happy daughter / family all those years ago .
But I have learnt from here , I’ve not disowned daughters boyfriends , I’ve got rid of them as I saw myself as n them , one now can be a pain but he knows his place , got a earful the other week though it was my girl who strayed the argument, chip off the old block
