Birthdays, families and Nivea For Men

Its my birthday tomorrow. Yay! Not.

We went out for a family meal this evening to celebrate the, oh so happy occasion.
Me and Mrs Bucko had to pay a fifty pound deposit for the table, so that was our part of the bill covered. We just sat back and watched the hilarity of everyone else trying to figure out what they owe.

Folk get so distressed if they think they are paying for someone eles's extra scoop of iced cream.

I got some presents too. The angle grinder that I asked for, arrived. I'm gonna have some fun with that.

Have you seen those adverts for "Nivea for men" and "Loreal Men Expert"? It's like they are trying to sell women's crappy skin cream to men. Every time I see the adverts, I shout at the telly, "As if blokes are gonna buy that crap!"
Well one prezzie I got was a Nivea For Men gift set. Mrs Bucko nearly spat her wine out when she saw me open it. Fortunately it was shower gel and pit spray, not some anti-wrinkle cream or eye lotion rubbish, so it did turn out to be a useful present.

I also got some bottles of cask bitter. I'm gonna kick back with those now and watch Amytiville 2.

Happy Sunday.

Wrinkles - that's what the angle grinder is for Bucko - none of this nancy cream bollocks!

Like? They are. How much different do you think the stuff inside the macho packaging is from the stuff in the feminine packaging?

"Every time I see the adverts, I shout at the telly, "As if blokes are gonna buy that crap!""

Blokes do. I know one in his late twenties that swears by it. And (rightly IMHO) gets the piss taken out of him for it.

Just you be careful, I nearly took my thumb off with one a few years ago... They're OK till the disc "bites" a bit too much, then they become an angry snarling beast!

Or are you intending to copy one of those daft bints who use one on metal underwear as part of a stage act?

Bucko said...

Wasp - Yeah, blokes do it properly.

PJH - They sell that crap to women by saying it contians creaseawayipsium and crap like that. Blokes who fall for it should be very much ashamed of themselves.

Microdave - It is a bit like wrestling a crocodile but a decent angle grinder will have the wing off a Capri in minutes.

Well I wasn't, but now you mention it.....

An angle grinder?

You ponce!

A real bloke would have asked for a SAM-7.

Happy Birthday anyway.

Poof.

CR.

Bucko said...

Captain, Captain. Of course I asked for the SAM-7, but they were out of stock.
The angle grinder is still good for close quarters fun and disassembling vehicles that just won't work properly

Many happy returns!

microdave said...

"vehicles that just won't work properly"

Well I guess that covers any Capri still about...I was going to suggest that an angle grinder would be overkill for removing a wing from one!


Oh, and should you think I have a bias against Henry's products, FIAT stands for Fucking Irritating At Times...

Bucko said...

Thanks Julia!

Microdave - It's not overkill. The wing is spot welded all along the top, plus it will invariably be rusted solid aswell. I've done one before. It isn't all that much fun really.

You hate Henrys products? I love 'em. Particularly the 70s to 90s stuff.

PJH said...

Happy Birthday btw.

Bucko said...
