Hull played like shite, spurs had a good day.

Obviously EP didn't watch it, just being his usual online confrontational persona..

Lyon are winning 4-0.

Pity they couldnt loan a few of them goals to the others.

If any of you were invited to someone's 21st or 30th which seems to be the craze now what would you put in the card?

no civilised couple getting married nowadays expect their guest to pay for the wedding... please POG stop winding will ya.

cavan, sammy - You two are the ones saying £50 per person is on the mean side as it wuoldnt cover the cost of you being there.

I never said no such thing.  Its the whinging about having to give it and maybe giving to much that i have issue with here.

I'm sorry have I you two big shots mixed up with someone else or was it not yous who were saying that I was mean because £50.00 wouldnt cover the cost of me being there?

I never said that.

Actually Sammy I usually end up more along the lines of "what's the most I can give and still have lunch money next week"

If thing were that bad would you not be better off staying at home and saving your money for your lunch. Weddings are expensive apart from the gift.

Well you know what Cavan4ever, sometimes it IS that bad for some people you know.  And  yes I have turned down invitations because I just couldn't afford to go!

Im not being smart with you, if i couldnt afford it there is no way i would go.

POG - your point is what exactly? Treasurer (one who looks after the money) you give on the basis of "whats the least we can get away with without too much embarrassment??"

[A lot of people I invited to my wedding were very up front and simply said they couldn't afford to attend other people simply had holidays booked but we were very grateful for anyone that attended and we certainly didn't cover our cost or expect to.]

A lot of people I invited to my wedding were very up front and simply said they couldn't afford to attend other people simply had holidays booked but we were very grateful for anyone that attended and we certainly didn't cover our cost or expect to. No couple should expect that but for the record Treasurer we had a champagne reception and a free bar, thanks for pointing out to me that supplying your friends and family with something for free is an extravagance and not a reward for travelling and attending our wedding and our way of helping people reduce the costs. The attitude of some people here beggars belief, our wedding was a celebration of 14years of knowing each other, of becoming a family and making that commitment of a life time together it certainly wasn't about making money and if some people find weddings a burden then don't f**cking go I doubt you would be missed.

Dinny I dont think anyone would have an issue if that's your attitude.  People can have whatever they want, it's only an issue when guests are expected to pay for it but you've made it clear you didnt.

Where has this come from that they are expected to pay for it ?

[While we're at it - why do Irish women feel they need to be tangoed to go to a wedding]

While we're at it - why do Irish women feel they need to be tangoed to go to a wedding. Also are people still getting married in those f**king crushed velvet jackets (cream or purple)? Jesus!

Thats one for TG to answer.

I thought that was what you were saying about all weddings...

Well it is, I hate weddings, it not my type of day,  but if it's a friend or family I'll go and put a smile on my face.  I've only ever been to one or two weddings I've enjoyed.

I think the only time that you would be happy is when your complaining.  Thats just impression i get from you and apologies if im wrong.

and you know a lot about me?

Thats just from this board, as i said apologies if im wrong.

I love weddings. A lot of begrudgary in here. A great days craic 

I agree. Good food and lots of drink

Are you saying everyone does that on weddings ?

No, but I think it's common. 

I think, as AZ pointed out, a lot of couples just cave in to inviting everyone in the hope they dont offend anyone, it's wrong in my eyes and if your neighbour gets offended because you've only invited close friends and family and doesnt understand that then they arent really worth bothering about.  I've big family, on both sides and cousins are completely left out in a lot of the weddgins, no ones got offended because we understand why.

I know some people go way over the top and ask half the country which is madness.
