This stuff has started now 🙄Macronate said:Think it's my age but people who know every single word and dance move to Candy.
No problem with that per se but it's the way they dance in an over exaggerated fashion on the dancefloor and all try to be in perfect rhythm with each other, over extend their hips/arms/legs, twists, jumps, throwing their heads back and then look so fucking pleased with themselves once the entire 4-5mins of the song is complete.0 -

Whenever I see a name on any of my accounts or get an automatic alert that has a name that I don’t recognise then I tell my bank straight away and they reverse it. It could well be a fraudulent transaction. Let the bank look into it and if it’s a genuine transaction then, hopefully, you will have inconvenienced the company as much as they’ve inconvenienced you by not using the name they are trading under.

So if you’d just spent a tenner in the pub and it immediately comes up on your phone under a different name, you’d call your bank even though you know it’s not a fraudulent transaction?

If it happened whilst you were in the pub then surely you’d speak to the bar staff to confirm it was genuine.arny23394 said:

I know exactly what you mean. Every year, it seems to start earlier and earlier. My wife would have had the Xmas tree up at the start of October if I'd have let her.Arsenetatters said:Christmas

It’s on the bloody radio same old Xmas songs, Xmas markets full of old toot, Sainsbury deliveries booked up until new year. Soon it will be drunk people puking on trains.Stig said:

You make some very good points. None of that is good. I have to say, since I've retired it's been a lot less important to me as one of the main things for me was getting time off work. Still, this time next year I'll have a grandson, so maybe Christmas will then take on a new era of excitement.Arsenetatters said:

Can you all take a leaf out of Tesco's book please and stop referring to it as Christmas and, instead, buy one of their 'evergreen trees'.3

Not sure if that Marketing ploy, calling Customers "Fuckwit's" will pay off for Tesco if you ask meAlgarveaddick said:

One year on a train home from London, a guy, rather drunk started singing Christmas Carols. As I slunk down in my seat he proceeded to sing at people and encourage them to join in. Those who didn't join in were encouraged further by shaking them and hitting them around the head, not hard but hard enough to make them sing. By St Johns he had his captive choir all singing. Thankfully the carriage was quite full so he didn't get down to bit my area, where me and my fellow commuters were in nervous hysterics.2 -
Mine, I've been told, are going up this weekend. Next available date would be a week into December and thats too late apparently.Stig said:

"We" are digging up a previous years Christmas for inside which "we" will be replanted in January. I do like saving the planet but our decorations are quite hard graft.2 -
A plumber that advertises no call out charge,but then quotes £75.00 for half hour with a minimum charge of 1 hours work making £150.00 per hour minimum(This was for a job that eventually took 10 minutes).I refused to pay for 1 hour,and eventually paid for half hour.2

We normally put our decorations up on 1st December, but this year they went up last weekend as my husband started chemotherapy and radiotherapy for cancer on Monday. We didn't know how he would feel so thought it better to put them up early. It's also a bit of cheer at a difficult time.Stig said:

Best wishes to you and your husband, Emmy. Fully understand why you'd want the decs up now. Here's hoping that his treatments do their job and you never have to go early again.
