FFS Matching family T-shirts for holiday. Kill me now.

Could be worse, could be matching football shirts.

Or club cycling shirts.

Say no to the T-shirts and demand matching shell suits instead. Then “accidentally” set fire to the people that suggested matching T-shirts.

Kind of related – One of my weirdest cycling experiences was on the road at the end of Oven Bottom in Macc Forest. I come bimbling out and get confronted by a family in matching she suits. They all have whistles too. The smallest weirdo starts blowing his whistle and pointing at me. As I cycle off the rest of them do the same. To this day I don’t know if it was real or an acid flashback!

I’d filed Dougie Wallace’s Blackpool photos into a far corner of my mind. Thanks Binners

Or club cycling shirts.

Does anyone wear those to the pub?

Just to add insult to injury, wife & I are doing a 10wk holiday visiting NZ, Oz, Bali & Malaysia for less than a 2wk family trip to Orlando & no matching tee shirts involved.

Matching family T-shirts for holiday

Grounds for divorce IMO.

Although arguably the decision to consider a cruise, let alone a Disney cruise, would also lead me to conclude this.

That ‘In Bruges’ gif gave me an idea…. Threaten to chop a finger off every time they ask you to wear the t shirt 🤣

Couldn’t be doing 4 pages, got enough from page 1

It would have stopped for me at family holiday. Not a prayer.

The rest of it just sounds like some sort of living hell

and people in their late thirties wearing Hogwarts hoodies
Yea, but kids that read Harry Potter at a contemporary age, are now 38.

I’m a bit late to this comment but thought it worth pointing out that I’m still wearing my Famous Five branded tank top and sandals (with white socks obvs). I’m Dick, according to the name on my back.

Not seen those before, they’re… something, aren’t they?

Jesus you lot are a bunch of miserable old bastards. It might not be your first choice of holiday, but in this case it’s clearly a holiday for the kids. Suck it up for a week and enjoy being able to go on a holiday with them and seeing the joy in their faces….

Yes, you’ve persuaded me. Disney, take my money now.

….I did a few days in disneyland paris a few years ago with 3 young children. Everyone was knackered from the drive down from Yorkshire, the children were way overstimulated and I was struggling to hold it together. But then I saw another dad losing his shit with an over-tired and over-stimulated child and rejoiced in the fact it wasn’t just me feeling like that. 

Ermm, can I have a refund?

Zero sympathy. Clearly the family doormat. Grow a pair.

Do you ever post anything positive?

Clearly needs some of that Disney sparkle in his life.

That’s excellent 👌

Turns out it could get worse.

There’s a themed party night. Apparently we “have to” dress up as something piratical.

🤔

Fancy dress?  No. Just **** right off and when you get there **** off some more.  See also Karaoke.

Hahaha
Please update this with pics following the trip.
We will know exactly which one you are

Somali Pirate for the win.

And if you try and take on a replica AK-47 you may even get turned away before you board – so double-win! 🙂

Parrot?

I want to feel sympathy because it sounds like an absolute nightmare, but actually my thoughts are more aligned with grahamt1980 🤣

You have my sympathies. We recently had a weekend away for Mrs S celebrating her 60th and had a fancy dress evening. Theme was “flappers” which had me stumped for a while but I ended up thusly…

You can tell my level of commitment as I had to shave off (most of) my winter beardage.

Do it.

Seaman Staines?

Somali Pirate for the win.

Oh. My. Yes.

And remember kids, there ain’t no fun like compulsory fun.

Theme was “flappers”…

I’d have gone in the parrot costume just above you.

edit – is that Michael Burke dressed as a bird?

I’d wear a hoody and sunglasses and go as a software pirate. After all, you wouldn’t steal a car…

@Scotroutes
Its fancy dress for the evening, not your day to day attire…

Rather than go the whole blackface somali pirate, which might be of questionable taste, I’m loving the parrot idea.

Do you ever post anything positive?

That was positive.

Do you ever go a day or an hour even without posting on here? You must live on this forum 24/7.  Tragic.

I quite enjoy fancy dress.

“it’s not a week. It’s from Sarfampton to a container port outside Brussels.”

Ohh, that’s too bad. At least if you went into Antwerp you’d get to see the Zaha Hadid building for about 45 seconds on arrival…

Does OP have some trousers with marks on them? Those and a T-shirt, you will be going as seamen stains!

Pirate themed t shirt?

I’d let them wear whatever the hell they want, I’d be wearing one of a variety from this organisation’s shop. Yes, they’re legitimate, and I’m a member.

Somali Pirate for the win.
Oh. My. Yes.

Exactly my thought when I read that! And wearing a Satanic Temple shirt for added trolling. 😋

My missus suggested this:

The only question is do you see yourself as a Belladonna or more of a Sasha Grey type?
