excuses to get out of things.

[Davi]

I've been sat here most of the day trying to think up plausible excuses to get out of going to my sons Christening, but coming up short.

As it's Friday afternoon thought I'd open it up to the PH masses for (possibly drink fuelled, they tend to be the best) suggestions.

[road_rager]

shouldn't you want to go??? Bad dad ;-)

Here, you may need this:

I always found a family death was a good excuse. However, in this case I don't think it'll fly.

How about the squits?

[DocJock]

Convert to Islam

[G'kar]

Why the hell would you want to do that?

get out of going, or converting to islam?

I don't want him christened, I most certainly don't want to sit in a church and witness something happening I don't want to happen.

And just over 9 months later, they arranged a christening.

I don’t understand how you can be asking this?

I assume you are a Christian, otherwise you wouldn’t want your son Christened, but what sort of Christian does want to go to their child’s Christening?

someone married to a christian...?

I thought it an odd question, I assumed you were a Christian.

So your wife must be a Christian? IF I were you I would go and inform everyone that you do not want it to go ahead, a bit like in a wedding!

I am not a Christian and if I ever have kids I would like them to make up their own minds.

Wifey is a Christian... SHE, not we, wants him christened.

Anyway - keep it light, my hatred of organised religion wasn't the point, amusing excuses that may just work was.

Yes understand that now, deleted my post

I suppose suggesting a bottle of Jack followed by burning the Church down tonight would be a tad inappropriate?
