    Christ! Apologies mate. Didn't realize you had sunk so low.
    Get well soon, or at least before the egg nog/advocaat becomes attractive.

  • People (mainly on property programmes) who describe the kitchen as the heart/hub of the home and "we spend most of our time here", "we like to entertain while I'm cooking here"
    They are either telling lies (you spend all of your time in the kitchen cooking and eating you'd resemble a land whale) or they are pompous bores.

    The fact that broadcasters continue to give free publicity to oxygen thiefs such as Russell Brand, Cody Lachey, Jodie Cunningham and Katie Hopkins. I hadn't even heard of the last 3 until this week when they all appeared in the news spouting off offensive rubbish. Why have intellectual informed debate & discussion when generating controversy by giving idiots a platform to spout ridiculous views is much easier?
  • The John Lewis Christmas ad with the penguins.

    While I'm at it, any Christmas ad showing 25 delirious multi generation souls round a table having the time of their lives on Christmas Day. For most, if they care to admit it, it's a boring day with 6 people in a front room getting tetchy with each other.

    How can you not like Christmas?!!! Its what you make of it.

    Because I'm not 5 years old.
  • How can you not like Christmas?!!! Its what you make of it.

    I totally understand why a lot of people like Christmas and so they should.

    Sadly, they appear to very myopic in understanding why others either don't care much for Christmas or even find it genuinely lonely and depressing.

    Phrases like 'it's what you make of it' are a bit simplistic.

    Most of the commercial garbage surrounding it just gets on my tits and I'm delighted when Boxing Day comes along.

    Ok, thats fair enough, if you are on your own it could be a bit 'in your face' with others enjoying the company of family and friends etc.

    Ive just always thought of it as a great time of year, from when i was a kid, to a teenager spending several days more on the piss, to now being a parent and seeing my own child being blown away by whats going on around her.

    Plus theres loads of football on.

    Now NYE, that is shite.
  • Its the whole jumping on the bandwagon that I hate from the retail sector...Especially with Xmas crap becoming available in August / September time.

    Agree with @ValleyGary on the above, think when I have kids it'll mean a lot more again

    But for now... means a week off between Xmas and New Year

    Bloke on the train talking on the phone at the top of his voice about what is on the agenda for the meeting 2mo. All the business buzzwords were being used. I get that he might've needed to take the call and that work doesn't end when you leave the office, but I hear all the bollocks on a daily basis, I don't want it following me home.

    And I could tell he was enjoying it. If it was me I would've been doing my best to keep my voice down, not projecting.

    Normally spouted by some middle aged couple buying a 6-bedroom pile in Northumberland for 200k who say they need the space for "entertaining our friends when they visit from London."

    There will be no visitors from London.
  • The term "super food"
    Add to that antioxidants, vitamins, supplements, drinking expensive bottled water.

    'There will be no visitors from London'. Brilliant line

    I'd also like to go a stage further if I may, and have a rant at Kirsty and Phil for Location, Location, Location or whatever there show was. Suddenly everyone doing up a house is an f'n project manager!!!!

    How can you tell if someone doesn't like Christmas?

    Don't worry, they'll let you know.

    Was buying a birthday card for a friend today, the music playing in the shop was "I wish it could be Christmas every day". Practically bloody is in that shop! (icandy in H*m*l H*mpstead).

    Yes, and they normally have no idea what they are doing and come in double the budget and treble the time!
