Just realised that it happens on Sunday. I really really hope that no one remembers it here. I hate the nonsense.  evil:

I dislike these days too ~ being an orphan like.

BUT I have to play the game for the sake of the children ~ or so I'm told.
I used to have a handle on life but it broke.

Well I am an orphan too, though that status was not finalised until my mid-40s.

What have I started?

Indeed my orphan status arrived later in life but I still dislike the concept of both being orphaned and father's day.

I usually get a card and summat or other (last year a mug) bearing the legend 'World's Best Dad' or some similar shite. I am not, and that's that.

It's like getting a medal for something you haven't done. Commecialised craperooni too
