TBF my daughter's upcoming birthday party is at Chill Factore and at £20/child, I'd be pissed if one didn't show up too

People think nothing of letting others down these days. I would have charged vat. Pricks for going to the papers too.

So they accepted the invitation, then realised he couldn't go and couldn't be arsed to tell the mother of the birthday boy? Plain dick behaviour on their part, an invoice is an hilarious resolution but deserved, people have no fucking manners these days.

Read the article. They had no contact number or address to let the birthday boys cunt of a parent know.

So they say. I don't believe that for a moment. The host has claimed it was on the invite. Who's correct? Let's see the invite I say

Read the article, the "birthday boys cunt of a parent" claims they had the details. Of course the invoiced parents are going to say that, otherwise they're going to look like bellends on a national scale
Also, why would you go to the papers anyway? Trying to raise funds to pay the invoice I reckon

Indeed but as we aren't shown the invite whos to say whos right., its just one word against the other.
I highly doubt the invite had no contact details, what did it say "Please come to Johnnys birthday, goodbye"
I think the parents in the article have just thought nothing of not turning up, as is most peoples attitude these days, then thrown a fit when they get presented with a bill that they indicated would be contributing towards. What kind of cunt goes to the paper with a story like this anyway, its not even worth talking about in the office let alone a national level.

10 arseholes didnt turn up to our wedding after saying they would. Cost us over $1000 as we paid for food and bar for them. Wish I'd have thought of invoicing them.

Agree with everyone, really. Cunt parents knew straight away that they double booked.

But what kind of cunt parents invoice a kid for not showing up? Just makes you look like a right pikey.
That poor innocent kid (the birthday boy) is gonna get ruined for having cheapskate parents.
