I think Mrs S should treat you to a weekend away for your birthday. She can go shopping, we got a new Jack Fultons and everything!

Re: Pompey - Live on Sky....
 

A good plan but, unfortunately her daughter is due to have a baby the same day so the lure of another grandchild beats a weekend in accy as far as she's concerned. I might be able to wangle a lift for the earlier train with a bit of luck.

It's dodgy taking her to the game any way. I took her to the game at morecambe on boxing day 2011, I needed a driver :D, drank rather a lot and decided we would get married in june 2012!!

Blame Morecambe fer that, it makes even the temperance geezers drink a lot.:D;)

To be honest, If your Grandchild is due to be born and and you're considering a football match to be more important. I'd say you've got your priorities wrong.

Each to their own though.

First of all it is my wifes grand child as it is her daughter not mine although I will qualify that as I have always treated her as my own. I would also say that I have a very good relationship with her natural father and his wife who would expect to be there at the time of the birth if possible. Further more the post by macca was about a weekend away for her mother where as I would be down for the day and the maternity hospital is on the way home so would not present a problem to visit on the day of the birth were it the match day.

Given you didn't know the circumstances I will excuse you rather than give my real opinion which may get me banned since you knew nothing about the circumstances. A common problem with people on message boards who don't know the full facts.

It is a well quoted saying that it is better to let people think you are stupid than open your mouth and confirm that you are!!
