    Today I have been off to attend a hospital appointment. He phoned me while I was on the bus coin home. Says he wants to come to mine. I asked how will you support yourself? His answer was oh well you have a good job and can afford to keep me. I told him to F off and never call me again. I have had narcolepsy for 19 years but it never stopped me studying and getting a job. I have a colleague with spina bifida who is wheel chair reliant and he has always worked. Granted I need a power nap when I get home and I only work 30 hours per week but my cousin has no physical or mental health issues. I called my cousin (his sister) when I got back and told her I'm never going to entertain him again end of. Lazy sod reckons he was once a unison representative I told him to do that plenty of knowledge in the work place is required of which he has none.

    Why did you even bother answering the phone?

    If that's the case I wish she'd stick to fake Uggs and black plimsolls!:D

    I thought that was another poster.

    Bluelass did wastrel relatives and how wonderful she herself was in comparison. I think there might have been some identification with certain members of the Royal family as well, but never saw those myself.

    Edit - I think you may be right about the other threads too. Wow, op is very prolific (and bored).

    Dont pick up the phone OP, dial 1471 after the phone stops ringing to see who it is and ring back if its not him.

    Just dont entertain him, he will need to stay on his own 2 feet.

    If the op doesn't pick up the phone she won't have any drama to post about.

    I think you underestimate Blue Cube's talent for storytelling.

  • Leave both him and your aunt to it. Mind your own business and just concentrate on yourself. Your aunt seems to be content with letting him do that and nothing you will say could change her mind as you said she has done this for years. Stop letting this issue get to you!
