Any Gamers on here know which is the latest call of duty?

Helping the missus cater for 20 on Christmas day when 8 are coming,  "being nice to them" aka not doing what I want to be doing all day and night and promising not wind up the sister in law again by suggesting that her strong Christian beliefs are predicated on Mary shagging the postman and telling her husband it was God what knocked her up - not that he'd be arsed since he was obviously not looking after her himself if she was still a virgin as claimed.

I think it might be @globaldiverback in the days when he used to be @boltondiver.

That username doesn't come up when searching for it so I'm guessing the account was deleted.

Yes, and yes.

Morning!

The one and only time my dad was allowed to book a family holiday. Took us to Yugoslavia in 1990 for about 12p. Hotel had a tank in the forecort and instead of planet football and waterparks we got to see some half demolished castles.

i'm not a gamer, but i'm sure you can get different versions of the game, i'm sure you can get  a £95 version of fifa

Best thing about this time of year is the excuse to play this.

I've already said too much. Starting to sound like he's a spoilt brat, but he's the exact opposite. He'd give everything he owns to another kid if they wanted it. Or swap it all for a day out fishing with me. I'm just a shit dad who's been brainwashed to think 'objects' are important. I'm the failure in this scenario.

Buy him a better fishing rod 

 

 

 

Seriously though 

Buy him an experience rather than an object 

In terms of unwrapping it, make him work for it like a treasure hunt or something

We use a lass on Facebook who does these fancy ticket pass type things with their names on. They look ace 👍

Bought one of those massive stupid cards for.my eldest and stuck pics of all the bands at Reading in it and stupidly photoshopped her face into the crowd and in a tent etc because a digital festival ticket isn't that great to unwrap!

Got the 9 year old upset tonight as he's not feeling Christmassy yet. 

Reckon kids in his class are in his ear about the big man. 

How do you eek it out as long as possible?

We think he's rooted about and seen one present so that's getting wrapped into different paper to the rest and will be "from" his younger sister.

 

Christmas dinner has arrived! All done via Cook as there is only two of us of xmas dinner until the kids come over on Boxing Day and then its the christmas ham. £48 quid including desert and champers, wine and cheaper fizz all from clients.

That's the way to do it, no peeling, scrubbing, chopping whatsoever -just slam it in the oven.

I wonder how much they make through people just forgetting. I've done it loads - had a pasta order once, even Pavarotti couldn't have eaten the mounds of the stuff we had by the time I got round to stopping it.

Must be a fortune. I've contacted a charity in Leigh that is a bit of a halfway house and they said they'll take it off my hands so that's my good deed for Christmas (assuming they drop it off in time on Xmas Eve for me to be able to drop it off...)
