  • can't drink till this evening when I get home as I'm driving to my brothers for lunch who for over 40years still hasn't passed his f@cking licence
  • Worry if they get you a cardigan and slippers for your birthday.
  • It's ten past eleven, and have not had breakfast yet because of Father-in-law having to chat for an hour to everyone who rings up, and taking ten minutes to open each present. Bloomin' pub's open in less than an hour...
  • Because I thought Paper Craft (origami version of MineCraft) would be a good idea for my daughter and now have 300+ MineCraft related items which need folding and assembling!!!!

    Sounds similar to my Christmas last year g/f stormed out with her turkey so I just had my pud for Christmas dinner. She then called me to ask me to play happy families because her sister invited us over in the evening. Like a mug, I did - worst Christmas ever... we didn't last...

    What is superdry, mr Raz?

  • As mentioned on the Happy Christmas thread, doing Christmas down at my sister's this year. Mum put the turkey on yesterday afternoon and then the rest of the family headed off to church leaving me to turn the oven off at the end of the cooking time, and as my sister put it "just make sure that the oven doesn't blow up". Literally two minutes before I was due to turn the oven off, the power goes off in half the house, and having finally located the circuit breakers and emptied half the pantry so I can crawl in to actually reset them, it appears that the oven has expired.

    So at least we have turkey, but no roast potatoes, no yorkshire pudding, no parsnips (not that I'm fussed about the last of those) for lunch, and the sausage rolls and a lot of the other bits and bobs we were going to have for tea can't be cooked either. And to add to the general frustration of the day, niece has been given a furby AND a furbling, so the inane chirping is going to be twice as irritating
  • Luckily mother in law came to rescue with said garments.. Prague - google it

    Pour some alcohol on it - that usually calms everything down....
  • Keeping things fun because that's what our five year old girl wants and deserves. However my wife has had a truly awful year with both of her parents passing away within the last few months.

    Is that some kind of Christmas euphemism?

    Cashing in on Japanese cool, but the company is from Cheltenham.

    Payback for the 1970's British motorbike industrial decline!
  • Chin up smithy feel for you mate
  • Thank you I'm used to it now today is a day to drink and forget tomorrow is our Christmas Day
  • Local pub no longer selling real beer = crap
    Aforementioned Father-in-law kindly offering to take us to much better pub a few miles away = result
    Returning to find expensive bottle of Portuguese red we had carted all the way from Algarve especially for Xmas dinner had somehow been consumed without being noticed while we were away on the Danube last week = crap...
