BournemouthRed Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 Talk to the missus - explain the "once in a lifetime" scenario and point out that you would of course stay with her were in not for this unmissable opportunity. Then go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheshire_red Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 Yes once in every 4 years. If you can spare the £700 then go. However, could be one of the many reasons I'm now divorced! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rule The Waves Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 I would go without thinking about it mate. If you do end up going, please enjoy yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WillsbridgeRed Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 Just promise her a new pair of shoes when you get back, that handbag she wanted and say you'll take her away somewhere special on your anniversary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tompo Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 Divorce is easy nowadays and if the baby is only 2 then you probably haven't got too attached to it yet. Definitely go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nogbad the Bad Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 If you do go, make sure you aren't taking her flu with you. It's a hell of a long way to go only to end up bed-bound for a few days. Anyway City are going to wallop Barnsley on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheshire_red Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 Divorce is easy nowadays and if the baby is only 2 then you probably haven't got too attached to it yet. Definitely go. Costs a considerably more than £700 though. And that maintainence kills ya! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southport Red Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 Go! No brainer - England's first ever Rugby world cup win, beating Australia IN Australia to avenge the 1991 RWC Final defeat by Australia at Twickenham. Wife will forgive you if she loves (and if you sell it right) Flu' isn't an issues, she'll be feeling a lot better by Wednesday which is when you'd have to leave so... GO IT'S A ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME!!

elhombrecito Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 Go - if I found someone had the chance to go and didn't, while I'm stuck here I would go :Rage: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CiderEagle Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 Swimming against the tide here but I would suggest NOT going. You can watch the game on telly, and you are talking about the woman you are presumably hoping to spend the rest of your life with! And your daughter will miss you, and if your wife is too ill to look after her, then (I'm guessing here so forgive me if I'm wrong), the ma-in-law will take over and fill her impressionable head with God knows what poision about you. And the brownie points you will amass will see you through the next few years worth of awaydays! Oh yes - and I hate to burst everyone's bubble but you DO all realise the Aussies are going to win - don't you ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Harry May Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 Learn my lesson........... I got made redundant from a bl00dy good job back in 2002 . I also had a decent redundancy package . I am a family man , with a mortgage , wife and kids . Just after getting made redundant , I was offered another job . But what I really wanted to do was go to the World Cup in Japan/Korea. The wife said go to Japan - you will never get another chance . The old man said go to Japan - it's the chance of a lifetime. What did I do ? Started the new job , hated every minute of it and jacked it in 2 months after the World Cup had finished . And I 've regretted it ever since. If you sincerely want to go , then go. You are a long time dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfc seattle Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 I figure it's a count lose oppurtunity. Ask if she'll let you go, she says "yes" go have fun she says "no" you can make her feel bad the rest of her life if England wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
