Thread: Fathers Day Today

How's your fathers day been today?

I awoke to the smell of a full monty, received a couple of nice cards and a best dad pint sized new cup.

Fathers Day is celebrated on the Kings birthday here, Mothers Day on the Queens birthday. It's also celebrated on different dates in Australia , USA and well globally.

So it's probably been a bit shit for those with kids in the the UK you utter fucking cockwomble

Raised five children that were not really mine so to say as if they ever were possessions, running free now.The sixth was the burden and one I still carry.





Lucky bastards us both.

fish

Congrats on that, fish.

Or commiserations...depending on wtf you mean.

It's time for a worldwide "Non-Spawners" day.

A recyclable card for the responsible wouldn't go amiss.

A tissue would be more apt

My kids gave me a fully illustrated short story called The Adventures of Daddy Fart-Gun and his dog, Poo Poo. Pretty good read actually.

Imagine being in your twenties and pulling five kids away from an abusive lunatic. You guys are easy. This guy would on many occasions threaten me with my life.

You know you want to shake his.......hand.

He smashed all the windows out of the 78 Monte Carlo. Lucky for him and the stang she was in the garage.Not the girl silly, the car. He may have forced my hand. she's ok.Seen better days though.

Anyone want to buy some stuff so I can move to Nong Kai?
Just kidding, aint never doing a runner. Well not yet anyway. The Beau Rivage is there if I need her.

If you're worried about the panel on the 220 forget about it I'm wiring in my other welder. Baldric might notice that stuff don't tell the fire marshal.

Could be worse, you could have pulled a 12 hour shift to earn a poxy few hundred quid.

Still look on the bright side, you can pull a beer and a blowjob from monger central 20 minutes down the road

Baby Daddy’ Father’s Day Card Pulled From Stores After Criticism



https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/16/us/baby-daddy-card-target.html?rref=collection%2Fsectioncollection%2F us&action=click&contentCollection=us&region=rank&m odule=package&version=highlights&contentPlacement= 2&pgtype=sectionfront



Takeisha Saunders was browsing Father’s Day cards at a Target store in Dallas in late May, looking for something special for her husband of two years, when she found one that didn’t sit right.
The card said “Baby Daddy” in pink cursive script and featured a black couple kissing. Ms. Saunders, 35, said it was the only Father’s Day card she saw with a black couple — a feature she was looking for to reflect her own family.







The card perpetuated a stereotype, Ms. Saunders said. “Baby daddy” is a phrase commonly used to refer to a father who is not a husband or current partner of the child’s mother.
“My reaction was just, ‘This is my only option?’” Ms. Saunders said on Saturday. “I don’t view him as my ‘baby daddy.’ I would not call him that. That’s offensive to him and me.”


Ms. Saunders shared her frustration with her husband, who encouraged her to complain about it on social media, setting off criticism that led to both Target and then American Greetings — the company that designed the card — to pull it from stores.


After Target started to see “concerning” conversation on social mediaabout the card, it decided last week to pull it from stores, according to Joshua Thomas, a Target spokesman. The card had been available in about 900 Target stores in the United States, he said.

“We really do appreciate the opportunity to get feedback from our guests, and it’s never our intent to offend customers,” he said.
American Greetings instructed other retailers to remove it from thousands of other stores across the country, The Washington Post reported. The company, which did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Saturday, addressed the issue in a tweet on Wednesday.
“This card was intended to be a playful husband card, but we have notified the product team that it missed the mark,” the company said. “Please accept our sincerest apologies and know we will do better in the future.”



The inside of the card says: “You’re a wonderful husband and father — and I’m so grateful to have you as my partner, my friend, and my baby daddy! Happy Father’s Day.”
Ms. Saunders, a biomedical engineering technician and mother of a toddler, said her intent in posting about the card was not necessarily for Target to remove it but to recognize a problem with diversity in their card selection.
Ultimately, Ms. Saunders said she wasn’t able to find the right Father’s Day card for her husband but that she was glad she started the conversation. “The real issue is inclusion,” she said. “I didn’t call for them to pull the card. I just wanted options.”

Get the kids to make one, would have been the simplier and more appreciated option.

Was expecting someone to have brought up Father Ray.

Oh I'll do it then


Father Ray

She really did pull it off in 3 years. Very proud indeed.

Well done AO ... you must be a proud Dad indeed.
