I got a brand new SUV with a ribbon on it. That's a lie. But if you watch the adverts here, apparently that's a thing.

Didn't they wonder where you'd been all this time

Nothing. I simply don’t do xmas on either a religious or commercial level.

Now the kids have fled the nest I can fully embrace my total apathy to the whole concept.

Don’t even start me on the amateur hour that is NYE.

Regards

Miserable git.

Didn’t even have a turkey dinner this year - mrs and boy down with the virus, boys through it mrs still in it, haven’t affected me so far. I treated myself to a nice pair of elac speakers so the vinyl will get a bashing in 2021.

its complete bollocks really isn't it

Time off , great , but apart from that , total nonsense

What the feck are grown men going up and down a ladder putting up fairy lights in the shape of a fat santa on the 1st of December for ?

Kids ? Yes

But there's people in their fifties doing this who have no children

And their houses are all decorated up inside

And today it all starts coming down

They need to go to hospital
