I am with Scrooge

[Fnaar]

I love sprouts

 

[Pro Tour Punditry]

I had been feeling a bit "meh" but now quite looking forward to it - the day itself that is. Not all the pointless build up and then feeling let down...I am just looking forward to being at home with my family for the day and not having to do anything if I don't want to.

Sad.

Whether you like Christmas or not, I would like to wish you all a very merry christmas and a happy new year.

 

[Richard A Thackeray]

But but but.. On Christmas morning Scrooge repents and becomes the very model of kindness and generosity, a changed man.

Dickens absolutely spoilt a good story there!!!!, as did Dr Zeuss, with the Grinch!

BlackAdder came closest to describing my own feelings about this time of year

No, on Young Ed's birthday when all the "happy new year" bo11ocks is over and done with as well.

I went carol singing at a windmill last night, there was a bonfire, mince pies, hot chocolate, some of the worst singers in sussex, and a lot of strangers all having fun and being nice to each other for once.

Xmas is crap.

But Yule is cool

Miranda Richardson is good here, but not a patch on her 'Queenie'

So it's a few days or so before xmas, oh how wonderful ?

A few weeks of abject misery as those around wish each other "happy Xmas" and wish peace on earth whilst being pi$$ed out of their minds on god knows how much beer, whilst farting and belching due to the stupid amounts of over rich food they have scoffed.

Credit cards will have been hammered to buy expensive tat, 1/2 of which is not needed.

Turkey (aka dry chicken) is being served with rancid green balls called brussel sprouts and then the family all sit chomping away in stoney silence as in reality they hate each other.

Little johnny the spoilt brat will have smashed his new ipad in a fit of temper as it was only the 64 gig version, not the 500 gig version with laser weapon his mate was getting.

So, whoever invented xmas should have been nailed to a cross for his sins and let us just get through the winter cold and dark without the added misery of this once a year sh1tfest.

On a positive note, with all the rain and 60 mph winds some of the crappy decorations might get blown away.

I take it you don't want santa bringing you a specialized or similar?
Cheers Ed

 

[toeknee]

Like I did

Cheers Ed

remember rule #12

Rule #12
// The correct number of bikes to own is n+1.
While the minimum number of bikes one should own is three, the correct number is n+1, where n is the number of bikes currently owned. This equation may also be re-written as s-1, where s is the number of bikes owned that would result in separation from your partner.
