lol adults/parents/uncles/grandparents are so old!

 

they dont understand how i feel!

 

Look, we all know you're old, try not to take it so personally, yeah?

 

Also, try, like, perhaps, you know, like, reading the thread.

 

If you'd met this uncle you'd want to avoid him too.

i know. but i rather enjoy spending my time older people. you can learn very much from them (even the annoying ones)

.. in so many ways

but i know young ones doesnt have the patience/balls to do that.

i hang around with people of all ages, and enjoy their company the same.

excluding people younger than 16 i guess.

oh yeah.. same with me

kids (12-27) are way more annoying that old people

lol at anyone less than 27 being a kid, you old git.

is your uncle Chris Moss?

I didn't see my parents on Christmas.  They were late getting to my grandparents, and we had to leave early to help my in-laws make dinner.  During that we mostly hid out in my grandmother-in-law's bedroom to avoid some of the more obnoxious of my wife's relations, and watched the PBS broadcast of the New York Ballet's Nutcracker for about forty seconds, but the reception kept cutting out, so we changed the channel to watch Peter Pan.  The one with the lispy boy.  Then it got late, and the roads were caked with snow and ice, and to top it all off, the wife had to be at work at 4:30 the next morning, so we went home.

News from the Russian front:

The woman has got into the family home, where my idiot uncle lives because he couldn't be trusted anywhere else, and has no intention of leaving. My uncle has spun her some lies that he is entitled to some inheritance, the house and that he had £6000 stolen from his account by his brother and sister.

Allegedly, in a letter to my other uncle in Florida, she has also declared that she is going to get whatever she can and 'knows firearms'.

This has all flared up wildly tonight. So much so that tomorrow they're going to be evicted from the house by the police.

More to come.

wow.

Its for the best. Keep watmm posted - that's what counts.

Jesus fuckin wo, Yo.

Hi Janette,

 

I am Robert Rodgers, older brother to Richard Rodgers.

 

I have heard that you and Richard are very much in love and plan to get married in the near future which is great to hear. However after reading your CV I discover that you are a highly intelligent lady who has mixed with, as you say, intellectuals throughout your life. Actually someone I would find hard to converse with due to your vast educational knowledge.

 

With that said it puzzles my family and I how you and my brother ever got to the stage where you feel you are right enough for each other to get married. Having grown up with Richard all my life I would say it would be very difficult for him to hold an intelligent conversation with a 14 year old let alone someone of your educational background. This leads me to think your motives may be a British Passport (which will be noted if you do marry) or Money that Richard does not have.

 

If your motives are true, you are in Love and you intend to marry for the right reasons our whole family would welcome this but before you go ahead with this I need to bring your attention to a few things.

Unfortunately Richard has had learning difficulties all his life which is the reason why he has had menial jobs such as Building Yard Labourer, Janitor, Airplane Cleaner, jobs that people would not usually associate as intellectual. Richard has a great heart and will do anything for anyone, which is why chancers try and take advantage of his helpful, friendly nature.

 

1) Richard does not understand the values of money and has no idea how to manage his weekly wages which are near to minimum wage in Britain.

 

2) Richard has a reading and writing age of a 12 year old at best and needs others to write letters and fill out forms for him.

 

3) Richard is a compulsive liar and lies to get himself out or into something. He has caused trouble in the family due to his lying and even once put a plastic carrier bag around his waste, then went to my older sister to tell her he had cancer and had to wear a colostomy bag. My sister obviously did not believe him and looked under his shirt to find a supermarket bag.

 

4) MISSING

 

5) Richard does not own anything, his car, home belongs to his family and he will never have access to the family’s wealth. When my dad passes Richard will not receive a share of the inheritance as my younger sister and I will control the share that will be put aside for Richard. When I say a share it will not be an official share but something my younger sister and I will pass over when required to insure that Richard only is not left on the streets without a place to live. He will never have access to the family wealth due to the fact that others may try and take advantage of him and his lack of understanding the actual motive.

 

6) Richard has a terrible gambling habit which has forced him into debt and may be bankruptcy. He likes to attend Casino’s, has stayed out until the early hours of the morning then made excuses like he was working late, leaving his ex common-low wife and daughter at home with no food at the house.

 

7) Richard can become very violent when pushed and has been arrested and charged a few times for violent behaviour.

 

With all that said our family will always have to look out for Richard. He will never have access to the family’s wealth and when my dad passes the inheritance will be split with my younger sister and I passing over funds that Richard may need from time to time. Richard will never own anything in his name that are bought with Family Funds and my younger sister and I will always control whether or not we feel Richard needs funds for whatever reason.

 

We would welcome you into our family if your intentions are for the good of Richard, but I must say you will need to convince me as I feel you have zero in common with my brother.

 

Anyway, whatever you decide I wish you well and I will look forward to your reply.

This was written before Christmas allegedly, and is the letter that she replied to with 'I know firearms'.

Since then, they were threatened with eviction and ultimately given a week to find somewhere else. We've also learnt that rather than accidentally bump into any of us at the family home, the Russian, Janetta, waits in Terminal 8 of Heathrow for the duration of my uncles shift in Terminal 3. Every working day, with her suitcase at her feet. Madness.

Oh, and supposedly she called today and asked 'when can we have a house?'

LOL Gary. There is no terminal 8 at Heathrow... it only goes up to five.

Apparently the fourth bullet-point read something like 'Richard has decided to send money to you rather than his own infant daughter'.

There's still more to come because as yet his immediate family haven't actually backed-up their threats of eviction with any action. It's more of the same crap that's happened over the last ten years really. He fucks up, everyone plans and talks about it, but I fear that ultimately he'll probably get his way again.

Want me to kill him? 50 bucks and a blowjob.

Casino’s

its

I didn't type that thing. Also note references to 'family wealth', which is a laughable term.

Seriously dude why is it so hard to get rid of this guy? Why don't your family just kick him out?

thats pretty funny. its the sort of thing i can imagine my boss writing, if he had a retarded brother.

Fuck knows. I've stated plenty of times that the locks should simply be changed and that he should be left to sleep in his car or find a hostel. If he's stupid enough to break in, so be it.

He's been poorly dealt with for over 10 years. I learnt today that he has his car paid for and to such an extent that he willingly drives through central London, accumulating congestion-charges, because he never sees the fines himself. They're just magically paid for.

It seems the Russian has a six-month Visa at the moment, presumably gained using Richard's address and witness. The siblings seem to believe that keeping the couple in a limbo for that duration will ultimately either:

a) Break her spirit so that she returns to Russia and that's the end of it. Richard would most likely burden a great hatred for his family then, having had them effectively shut out someone whom he may feel that he loves.

b) She gets a job or whatever she needs to stay and that, with her guidance, they find and finance a house and life for themselves.

I personally still believe that she is yet to share something crucial. I'm imagining a husband or children still in Russia that will follow her in time.

Also, it transpires that she at first believed Richard to be physically unwell. Admittedly he doesn't look healthy due to his nervous disposition, but I doubt he is suffering from anything major or worrying. There remains an air of 'wolf-crying' around such areas due to his cancer-colostomy-shopping-bag scandal.

There is renewed talk that the estranged brother from Florida will return to put pressure on Richard and probably spark a whole other, more threatening, argument over the 'family wealth'/inheritance. Many believed that he would never return again until his father had died and the subject of inheritance were more alluring. I personally don't like the guy, believing him to be thuggish, manipulative and ill-mannered.

He emigrated originally in shame after his mother's death. He had severed ties with his parents, presumably due to money, and refused her access to her grandchildren. It wasn't until at her death-bed that he broke down, apologised and then quickly scarpered. It seems he has built a pleasant enough life for himself in Florida though.

When the subject of inheritance is brought up there also lies another interesting tangent. It would seem that my mother, the oldest child, is the only one not to have dual citizenship of both Britain and America (due to my grandfather having been born in backwoods Alabama, on emancipated land, and living in Detroit until the 50's). This raises speculation that he is actually her father. I'm not really sure how far this has been discussed or researched, but I know that the dates involving his arrival in Britain and my mothers birth are amiss. Her original birth certificate, which she was denied access to until she wanted to marry my father, had an original surname (Brogi) crossed-out and replaced. My grandmother took this secret to her grave, but her and my mother shared the closest bond in the family.

Such a bond it was that my grandmother's only bequeath, handwritten on note-paper, was that my mother were to take two antique figurines upon her death. She only took the figurines last year, fearing for their safety in what was then an empty house. It seems that with Richard now back in the house it was a wise-move, although it caused ill-temper between the siblings.

Also, as a final kicker: It is believed that my grandfather once offered Richard's ex-partner, whom was carrying his child, a substantial figure of money to return to Portugal. She declined, probably due to the fact that her most of her family were already living illegally in London. It transpires that he has likewise offered the Russian flight-money to return to Russia.

More to come.

This is like an episode of Scarface. Seriously though, I hope it gets sorted. Does it bring any trouble upon your head?

Not particularly. I would like a little of the inheritance perhaps, although I don't foresee ever having tangible or substantial. My grandfather owns flats in Maida Vale, a pretty swanky area of central London, and I wouldn't mind getting into one of those in time. Or, maybe, if the dual citizenship area were ever sorted an easier ticket into the US. But I expect nothing, which is the safest option.

I personally don't talk to that side of my family because it's all too false and complicated. Everything here I've heard and deduced from my mother over the years. My grandfather had initially claimed that he would pay my university tuition fees, which he later denied completely, and lives a secretive life in those Maida Vale flats living with a West-Indian women, we have seldom met, named Joyce. He's getting noticeably older in recent years but still maintains a swagger in his lifestyle, swanning it up with cronies on the Watford FC board.

what the deuce

WATFORD, I dislike him.
