Youri McAnespie Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Watching the idiot box and, whilst fireworks are literally going off in reality they're banging on about Christmas already on adverts... Fucking grasping twats. Fuck off. And Asda - I'll be in my cold grave before I shop with you again - wankers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not in Crawley Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Finished all the wrapping last night finally at 2am. All food bought as well. Feeling quite smug, but knackered, at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its just because of the kids, and my Mrs had her final pay packet this month so we needed to get it done earlier so we weren't bankrupt next month.

Site Supporter Spider Posted November 6, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted November 6, 2020 I love xmas, mainly because it's time off work and a massive drink. I hate xmas because it's so fucking expensive. Baby Jesus is all that matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youri McAnespie Posted November 6, 2020 Author Share Posted November 6, 2020 @Not in Crawley Sock of cinders topped with a tangerine. A stick and hoop. And a drink-fuelled dressing down. That's all we had and is perfectly acceptable in these austere times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weirdly its a bit retro this year anyway, the eldest has asked for what is essentially a Dansette. Not too expensive, but the record i got her was thirty fucking quid!

Boby Brno Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 This is usually my busiest time of the year but I’m shut. IF I open on the 3rd of December, I could potentially have to cram 7 weeks demand into 3. I’m not looking forward to it. Grasping, if that’s the right word for it, pays my mortgage and my taxes. Whatever is left over, allows us the little luxuries in life. Anyone can opt out. It’s not compulsory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuck mop - I still had a Dansette of my sister's (aspirin - ironing board) my late parents' pad - could've had it for nowt NIC. Pray tell the record? A repress? Last time I paid £30+ it was for an original press of Steve Poindexter - Computer Madness and before that Incantation - Onward to Golgotha (red vinyl)... Get on Discogs or Ebay, NIC. Sainsburys? Fuck off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not in Crawley Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Bugger, that would have been a find. Thanks though. Its the Harry Styles new one, ebay, amazon all the same price so just went to HMV in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youri McAnespie Posted November 6, 2020 Author Share Posted November 6, 2020 @Not in Crawley In fact I have two 1210's not used in anger for years (Denon amp - sony speakers, soundlab mixer - yup shite). She would have had them but they will not, I repeat not, be sullied by a HMV bought album of Harry 'talentless baghead - allegedly' fucking Styles. I thought they were bust (HMV)? Not a crap singer with an alledged smack habit..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Cheese Posted November 7, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted November 7, 2020 A couple of weeks ago I went to my local Garden Centre to buy some mouse traps. It was like walking into Santa's Grotto on acid. Almost made me sick. I've been going there for years and they always go over the top - but this was something else. Christmas songs on full volume, machines blowing fake snow about, multiple life-size Santa and reindeer robots, staff wearing elf hats, elaborately decorated trees all over the place... In October. It was fucking mental. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoyed the presents, but just had a sense of pure guilt that my parents had spent a fortune on me and my sisters while they were struggling to make ends meet. No idea how I knew that at the time, but I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traf Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 I'm just not up for it at all this year. I'd every intention of fucking off abroad on the 23rd for a fortnight, but that's unlikely now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our HMV is just full of middle aged blokes and teens buying vinyl and DVDs, along with those pop head dolls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breightmet Boy Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 I’m looking forward to Christmas Day. This is the first Christmas on my own, I’ll be watching Christmas films, Wonderful Life etc whilst chilling out and remembering the times i watched them with my brothers, sisters and parents as a kid. Sounds rather sad that doesn’t it, but I think it’s pretty cool 😎. No prezzies need be bought, all my nephews n nieces are in their 30s/40s, life is good.
