Title: The "I hate Christmas" and its attendant nonsense thread
Post by: Nick on December 15, 2007, 11:49:14 AM
1. Tree now up, with constant playing of "Christmas" themed CDs
2. Tesco this morning was a nightmare of panic shopping and people waving charity collection tins at me. All the shop assistants dressed up in "amusing" costumes spider:
3. Bloody carol service tonight
4. Another bloody carol service tomorrow
5. Crap: paper, bits of glittery stuff, sticky tape and god know what else everywhere
6. Paper today full of "reviews of the year". I have just managed to survive 2007, thank you, I don't need any more reminders about it.
7. People being falsely jolly, or trying to be
8. Raffles
9. Boring round robin letters from people we haven't seen in years "Samantha has a new pony, Richard is enjoying his scouting..."

 Banghead cussing:

And christ, what's worse is even I got infected. I NEVER buy gammon. Till this morning! evil:

1) Offered Children a "treat" this morning ~ "Shall we buy a new tree and put it up before Mummy gets back from Grandma's? ~ Resounding NO! and tears because "it's not the same without Mummy here"
2) I shop on line, 'specially at this time of year ~ just to avoid such nonsense.... life is too short for supermarket trips.
3) I refuse to attend all carol concerts ~ but 'specially those connected with schools.
4) See three above
5) House always looks like that but I have been tidying up in her absence  eveilgrin:
6) Refuse to buy newspapers, apart from the free one once a week, that does to light the fires. Get all news from Radio and Internet
7) I am not falsely jolly ~ I am pissed off big time with the whole thing and tell every one so.
8 ) My money stays in my pocket ~ go pester someone else with your Christmas Raffles. Bah Humbug etc.
9) Hand all card carrying envelopes, unopened, to Mrs S and sing loudly as she tries to read me the "news". I am not interested. If people can't communicate with me more regularly than once a year they can piss off.


Sorry but I do like gammon, on the bone. Lil Bruvver supplies his own smoked version.

Oh what joy. Mrs Nick has been parading about in posh frocks, enquiring about matching shoes and jackets. I advised appropriately.

I then asked why she was sorting out posh clothes.

"For the Carol Service tonight of course"
"Do we have to dress up?"
"It's black tie."

A black tie f*cking carol service!?

Now she tells me! censored:

Time for a "Migraine".
Go to bathroom ~ put two fingers down your throat and be sick, noisily  sick2:
Return from bathroom complaining of flashing lights and zig-zag lines in your vision + a splitting headache.

The beauty of a "migraine" is that you can recover in half an hour or it can last all evening.  eveilgrin:

Morning hound - how is your day?

Miserable Old Chap ~ fvcking miserable.

Having returned last night Mrs S has this morning discovered that the washing machine has packed up and will need replacing (what point is there in paying a man an £80 call out fee when I know he'll suck his teeth and tell me that it is too old to be worth repairing (7 years old). Missus is not happy because I have said "Go to the launderette for a fortnight and I'll buy a new one in the sales after Christmas.

She has also announced that she has invited her mother and sister here for the New Year WEEK! ~ with the potential for her mother to stay on for several more weeks/months whilst she recovers from her recent stroke. This idea is born of the fact that this house, out of all the family, has someone in it all the time whereas her Brother and Sister both go out to work. "So do you" I pointed out ~ "Yes" she replied "but you're here" She is now highly p*ssed with me because my immediate reply was "Not if your mother is going to want nursing all day I'm not" ~ I went onto point out that divorce is an option that I will not hesitate to implement because there is no way I am going to spend my remaining days wiping her mother's fat arse for her ~ If that's how bad she is then put her in a nursing home.

Bet you're sorry you asked eh?

The kennel is not in harmony today and will not be until she lifts this threat from my future happiness. I am beginning to feel the need for an extended absence from her.

To be honest it isn't so much a matter of him being trained as him not being bothered about most things. 95% of the time, he can't be bothered to have an opinion or argue about stuff so I get my own way. However, that does mean that the other 5% of the time when he does put his foot down then there is no discussion about it.

To be fair to him I can wear high heels these days if I want too. Back in the early days it was a bit of an issue and now I've just got used to wearing flats most of the time.

I was responsible (for the first time that day) and took a cab - but got really peeved when the taxi driver kept waking me up to ask for directions  cry:

When I woke up this morning I had to collect all the items that I had discarded round the house when I got in.

Heels were the first thing that came off and were scattered by the front door. Coat was in the front room. Earrings for some reason by the microwave?????  Everything else in the bathroom - or so I thought. For some reason I had left my party hat (a pointy tiara thing) on the stairs and when I was creeping down them this morning (obviously without the lights on as that would have hurt more ) I naturally trod on the friggin thing. It would probably be easier to exclude the expletives that I didn't use.  In the imoortal words of E.T .....OOOOOuuuch !

Everyone who works or banks there expects us "mortals" to be impressed. The reality is that Coutts was taken over long ago by Nat West which is now, of course, part of the Royal Bank of Scotland so in effect your chatter-up works for a sub branch of a Scottish bank which is involved (if the FSA is to be believed) in some very dodgy dealing indeed.

As Dickens had it

No offence intended and I am sorry if I disturbed your slumber.

Chocolate drops are fine but way too small. Chocolate slabs are far more suitable  lol:

Anybody else escaping?

   confused: Only if this airport strike is sorted out.  evil:  I only booked the tickets 2 days ago, how did they know?    angry041: They did this to me last time.  sad24:

Good points.
 whistle:  25 degrees average, guaranteed till end of March (have to be home by April 1st)    ;)  lol:  whistle:  guest cottage on other side of main house with just the pool and the lapa between them... and relax.  Sorry still don't know how to post photos from my computer onto here.

Bad points. only dial up available in cottage, but taking wireless laptop and I think I know where there is a reasonable braodband supply, not too far away.

Good point. Brother working away for duration of the trip, conveniently left his car with my mom, so I also have wheels.

Bad point. Nope can't think of another one at the moment.

Good point. Just remembered the holiday flat, (step brother) which will be empty most  weekends ...just a half days drive down the Garden Route. whistle:

I know where I will be spending my Birthday (end of March) as well...   cloud9:  The last meal there was out of this world, even Nick will not be able to fault it. (Perhaps he will, just remembered he does not like exotic game.  noooo: )
